Election OF Officers
One of the most important items
on the evenings program was the
annual election OF officers. When
this was announced by the president
as the next order OF business, L. E.
Armstrong. after %prefacing his re-
marks with a few words of COM
mendation for the officers who had
Just completed a years term of serv-
Ice. moved that the president, vice.
president, secretary and treasurer be
declared reelected by reclamation.
This motion eventually prevailed,
but not without strenuous objections
from some of the officers who sup
posed that they we're about to retire
and hand the reins over to some
one else. Mr.. Rendle. the president,
was particularly diffident about be-
ing drafted into service for another
term, but his protests fell upon deaf
ears.
The result was finally that the
following officers were declared re-
elected for the ensuing year: Presi-
dent, Fred w. Rendle: vice presi-
dent, A. j. Roster; secretary, II. E.
Dunlap; treasurer, H. B~reitenstein.
Each was called upon for a speech,
but aside from congratulating the
Board Of Trade upon the excellent
judgment displayed in the selection
Of Officers, there was little said.
Next came the election Of a board
of trustees, which was conducted by
ballot. The names of seven were
placed in nomination, the five re-
ceiving the highest vote to be de-
clared elected. While the tellers
performed their duty, there was some
vocal entertainment, led by Mr..
Breitenstein.F The result Of the bal
loting showed the following to have
been elected: w. w. Daley. w. P.
Hayes. Gus ,Fleischli, Hans Larsen
and Frank M. Johnston. A few
brief. friendly talks resulted from
the demand on the successful ones
for a speech, Mr.. Larsen taking oc-
casion to say a few words on the
subject of cleaning up the winters
dirt and refuse, preparatory to
cleanup" week. which is to come
along soon
Miscellaneous

of the evening was the singing of
Miss Edith Lumsden, who, accom-
panied by Miss Rita Noonan, as pian-
list, sang three selections for the en-
joyment Of the board. The song.
when Good Fellows Get Together
made a decided hit. In pre-Volstead
days this was referred to as the

esting little talk in which he re-
ferred to a former mayor OF Raw

committee would solemnly proceed to
the home Of the mayor to consult

ways assured of a royal welcome. In
which cakes and liquid refreshments
figured prominently. and they al
ways departed with the mayors con-
:, sent to run for another term.
Baseball came to the front of
course during the meeting, and the
! question Of whether orsnot RAwlins
