In order to get everything going
good-the Fourth of July, campaign
for the determination of rats and
other activities-the Lions Club
at it's meeting last Tuesday took The
2 initial step towards county booster
trip on Tuesday, the 18th day OF
June, at which time all the more inn
portant sections of that part of the
county going thru Rives, towards
Troy and Obion, will be visited, TAX
ing dinner at Obion and proceeding
towards Elbridge and the lake. Inc
itinerary has only been suggested,
not adopted, but committees are to

is to follow the lead suggested by
the Louisville boosters, excepting
that we go on a motor trip thru the
county.

ganized into districts as far as Union
City is concerned. 1t is to be mil
itary affair, proceeding along the
most effective lines for the destruc-
tion of rats. The boys Of the town
and the girls also are to have some
work to do. The Scout forces will
be utilized in the campaign. First
general publicity announcements
will be made and then people will be
ready for the campaign. For in
stance, if poison is to be used, every
body will have to agree on that point.
1t will not do for one house in
neighborhood to refuse if all the 9TH
ers agree, for if one only declines to
use the poison the rats from all the
others will be driven to that place.
