Upon proper introduction. appeared
Leopold Sanders OF Trinidad Well,
sir, he spoke esthetically and dramatic

and there was rhythm in his talk and
an occasional rhyme. was unable to
discover the author. the troubadore OF

to conclude that friend Leopold was
the master-mind himself. Finally the

Then came Wagman, Wag for short,
our chauffeur and our secretary and
/ he also had something to say. He
bawled us out to Il finish. What
mcancst thou by not paying thy dues
on time? Dost thou not know that
expulsion breeds In the air?' he
shouted MS he shook his head instead
of his hair And the speech made the
proper effect; checks are already being
signed and sent in for dues not only in

well drafted and was valuable to the
secretaries for the conduct of the work
in their respective lodges.

attitude and tells us that the increase
of membership and intensified activities
among the various B'nai Birth lodges
is the solution of the enigma.
BILLY Goldberg followed the Judge
He was scheduled to speak on Social
Service. He expressed his opinion that
social service was the mainstay of the
B'nai Birth, and that should the B'nai
Birth shut down on its social service
work, it might MS well shut down alto,
