citizens in every conceivable man

time and means for It's success, and
the problem Of interesting the near

left to the responsibility and deliher-
ations Of the Junior Chamber OF

automobile excursions, or booster
trips were made.

TO be seen making their way from

AS all arrangements were made, ne
