This will be the first ceremonial ses-
sion of 1llustrious Potentate Leonard
y. Steuart. who says: I'VE have
planned that our March 1 ceremonial
shall be a killer of dull care. an
evaporator of blue funk and a mirth-
maker par excellence. We have had
much recently to depress US. but, if
Allah will smile upon us. we pro-
pose. on the first day of the windy
month. to hand out something that
will atone for the miserable weather
the grounding passed along to us
alchemists, zem zem workers, dis
tillers. pillrolIers. jokesmiths. teas
ers and other experts are busily en-
gagged night and day cooking up
of gall out of the bitterest soul in
the desert. a potion that will make
mobiles kinder to their mothers-in-
law, more careful of their obliga-
lions and more anxious to fall in be-
hind the camels on future marches
across the hot sands. The sun may
shine during the day, but we are
going to make the moon shine on a
dark night"
This. apparently. leaves but little
to be said. except that assurances
have been received by the potentate
that every one of the past potentates
work along. His latest message in
the alibi states. Not only do I wish |
TO lead you. but to work with you in !
building up our temple numerically, |
as well as to spread the gospel of
good-fellowship and create the |
nmiles that make life worth while" |
He sagely adds: Joy is more con- |
tagious than measles" He also
sends forth mighty call to rally |
around the forthcoming fair pro-
moters at Convention Hall.
