Chairman NJ. B. Fischer and ms
golf committee have gone to great
pains to get the course IN the pest
possible condition and have been aided
materially by the balmy weather OF
the past few days. The tourney un-

Country Club will make the pairlngs

play a shortened sixteenth hole, for
the regular green, which was re-
planted last Fall, has not come along
as well as expected, and has had TO
be re-vegetated.
