These and other matters were dis,
cussed last week at luncheon of
the members council in the Coffee
Room of the Robert Il. Lee hotel.

Ruler Jack II. Burke to secure ex-
prcssions from representative menu
bers regarding plans and events under
consideration.

property purchased as site for u

to apply all proceeds toward clearing
