Lions Club Holds
Regular Meet Tuesday
Almost Entire Program One of Fun
And Frolic; Musical Numbers Also

he Lions Club of the city were in
playful mood at their luncheon last
Tuesday. Almost the entire program
was one of fun and frolic. The ex-
ceptlons to this were the delightful
numbers on the program rendered by
Miss Helen Williams, in which she in
terpreted a couple of Spanish folk
dances, accompanied on the piano by
Miss Louise Jones, after which, she
gave humorous reading. The other
exception was the beautiful solos sung
by Miss Marjorie Owens in her charm
ing manner.
The program began by the singing
of America, by the enr1re club, after
which the fun began while the hungry
Lions were still eating. | was no
tlced by the large crowd at the table
that one of the young Lions. Mr.. AL
bert Matthias, was i'll at ease and con-
tinued to squirm and twist and on sew
eral occasions came near jumping
upon the table. The cause of all this
restlessness on the part of this par
ticular member was not known until
some time later when an electric wire
was discovered running under his chair
He had been sitting upon a live
wire and everytime he tried to take a
bite to eat someone pressed the but
ton and Albert had to postpone eating
and move very hurriedly. He was
game however, and refused to leave the
chair and took all the electricity that
they could turn on. A number of Wis
itors were introduced and welcomed
to the luncheon and then Jake Tatel,
i'll voice that rivaled that of Kawrst-
ulvchergrouythdmlp, the rising young
tenor from Bolshevik Island, sang
very touching love song, in Yiddish,
while Beautiful Red Williams made
merry on a kettle drum. The song
ended suddenly when Red became so
wrought up over the horrid strains of
the song that he hit the drum too hard
| and bursted it.
The drum belonged to Jake and aft
err seeing what happened, forgot the
rest of the song. The attendance prize
given by the Fair Store, a pair of
gentleman's gkrkers, we're given to
Lion Roscoe Kimball, it being found
that he had white" ribbon tied to
the leg of his chair Miss Marjorie Ow-
ems was awarded the nice fat hen for
her efforts. The big hit of the day,
however was the fake arrest of Albert
Matthias, charged with stealing dia-
mond ring. Policeman Stewart, arm
ed with a search warrant, strobe into
the dining room while President Ad-
ans, was announcing the election of
two new members, and demanded to
know if this party was there He was
and Mr.. Stewart requested him to step
out and be searched, upon which sug-
gestion, some of the members object
ed and Mr.. Stewart had to threaten to
lock up anyone who interfered before
he was allowed to proceed with the
search. The ring was found in one of
Lion Matthias pockets and in order
to escape being locked up, had to place
it on the finger of certain young
lady who it was suspected he was
doing the stealing for. He very
gracefully did this and the warrant
was destroyed and the case settled
Almost a full attendance was on hand
to enjoy the program. Arrangements
are being made for the entire Club
membership together with their ladies
to attend the Charter night program
of the Lions Club of Triton on Jan.
10th. Sam Story will lead the pro-
gram next Tuesday and fine one is
