LIONS HAVE MANY MAT
TIERS PUT BEFORE THEM


The Lions had a busy session We'd
neday evening, so much so that Lion
Engelhardt was compelled to dispense
with his vocational talk which he had
prepared for the occasion. Mr.. Engel-
hardt also had Judge Stewart seated
with him in the entertainment corner
of the den. No announcement was
made as what Mr.. Stewart was going
to say to Lions. but at later date 1t
was announced both of these men will
have an opportunity to entertain the
club.
President Adams introduced Prof.
Beahm Of the high school, who asked
the club to cooperate with the school
in the matter of providing conveyance
for the basket ball boys to and from
games which he said had been arrang-
ed between nearby schools. The re-
quest was granted with the usual Lion
roar.
Next came a request to finance the
boys band. President Adams was
given authority to negotiate with the
other organizations OF this city and
endeayor to work plan which could
be met by every interested society
lodge and club.
Capt. Gueno of the local National
Guard asked TO have little assistance
in the way of getting in new timber
for the local unit of Uncle Sans army.
He asked for no money. Mr.. Gueno
put the proposition before the Lions
in very forceful way, pointing out
10 them and what it meant in the way
OF a payroll to this community. He al
so said there was free trip to Golden
each year for the members. The mat
ter will be taken up by the board OF
directors of the Lions within the next
few days.
The question was brought up regard
ing the Armory dances and Capt
Gueno emphatically stated that there
had been some who had attended
dances there who We're intoxicated,
but he said he did not approve of this
neither did the members OF his com
pany. He scored the city police, for
he said very little attention was given
them at the Armory, when an officer
did come around II was almost impos-
sible to get one to do anything To
this statement Mayor Penley replied
that he believed IL was the fault or
the floor manager at the public dance,
or he said they had employed as high
as four men to look after dances in a
single night
Parker's Orchestra, composed Of
Messrs. Parker. X. G. Brown and J.
Welland letters, furnished music be
tween intermissions.
Lion Storm, Joseph Quinn and Roy
Klinger of Grand Junction were among
out-of-town guests. Cub Storm has
been here on other occasions OF the
Lions and renewed his allegiance to
Delta Lions in few well chosen re-
marks.
1t was Lion Dyer's first official at
tendance since he was admitted TO
membership In Delta Lions. He treat
ed the members to a nice box of de
licious apples. which were greatly en-
Joyed and helped to make things diff
ferent from the usual repast of raw
meat.
Mr.. Quinn spoke in an optimistic
was regarding the Western Slope and
urged continuance OF the splendid
cooperation of Western Slope through
the civic organizations. He said we
should go after things stronger. Sc
cure a hotel for Delta, fix up your
town; look into the future concerning
this place. We need a hotel in Grand
Junction and other things. too"
I'VE should have one Main street
he continued, from Grand Junction to
Delta, and on to Montrose and the
south We should then go after the
eastern slope for the tourist; and the
proper amount of funds which are an
nually collected by the state and
annually spent on the roads"
