At the Danish Brotherhood meet

ensen); inner guard, John Bell; outer
guard, T. N. Thomson; librarian, Fred
Hermansen; hall manager, J, G. len=
sen; chef, Ludwig Madsen; entertain
ment, Geo. C. H. Jensen. The annual
reports showed that the lodge was in
good condition in all respects. The
hall managers report showed re-
ceipts from rentals of the building
during 1927 to be little over thou
sand dollars and running expenses
Just twenty-five dollars less, leaving
that amount as profit. A very one
sided discussion arose relative to
the hall, the substance of which was,
that rather than to have the local
Young Peoples Society build another
hall, the D. B. S. would turn their
building over to them or would turn
it over to a community hall as there
is not enough demand for two big
halls in Askov. By contributing four
dollars per year per member for sew
eral years, the society has now re-
duced their debt on the building to a
trifle over $4,000.
