Pastors Contest for
Puglistic HOnOr

DOMINIC boxing gloves at last
I~hursday's luncheon meeting OF the
Rawlins Lions Club, DR.. Fraser and
Dean Barrett. pastors respectively of
the Presbyterian and Episcopal
churches here, convinced their gal
= lery OF enthusiastic Lions that there
was nothing intrinsically effeminate
In b pursuit OF religion. The
work" OF both men proved exceed
ing skill in the past, although both
were patiently in need OF practice in
the gentlemanly art. A spirit of
friendly rivalry and good sportsman
ship apparent throughout the con-
test indicated that sportsmen in gen.
oral could learn much from either
contestant-much of value in the
game of life as we'll as in the art of
boxing.
Although the meeting was decid-
ed1y entertaining under the direc-
ton OF Cub Nelson, nevertheless
considerable serious thought was
given to the water bond situation in
Rawlins. The Club. enrolling vir-
tually a 100 per cen attendance at
this particular meeting, unanimously
voted Its hearty support of the water
bond issue, and steps were taken to
insure SO far as possible the passage
of the bond issue, the fate of which
will rest with qualified voters on
December 9th.
Today's meeting was devoted al
most entirely to consideration OF the
many reasons why Rawlins voters
should lend their support in the pas
sage OF this bond issue. Points
brought out will be treated in The
Republican next week.
In addition to the boxing exhibit
ton other entertainment features of
last weeks meeting were: Song
numbers by a chorus of some score
Of High School girls. featuring Laur-
n Gosney and Nellie Murphy in a
Gypsy dance; and a Dutch dance
number by Miss Murphy and Charles
Carr. These entertainers from the
High School we're directed by Miss
Amy Whitsom with Miss Josephine
