''Old Hang0ut" to Be Mod.
ernized Says Old Timer
in Lament


Renoyations are taking place
these days on the End floor Of
the Ellks' club house. The vari-
Gus rooms are being repainted
and redecorated, to such an ex-
tent that when the work is COM
pleted much more light will be
available to the numerous card
players who make this part Of
the club house their 'hangout'
during the early part Of the
night.
The Ell<s, you know, have
been in their present quarters
since 1919, and so changes have
70 come every now and then to
keep UP with the procession.
The old and historical pictures
which have graced the walls
these many years have been
temporarily removed, and may
not be returned to their former
positions. Some of the mem.
bers say II they had their way,
they would be turned over to
some suitables historical society,
along with the large sized glass
trophy case, which has been q
familiar figure around the first
hoor ever since the Elks moved
over from Grand street. The
old dumb waiter" still hangs ON
for dear life, in spite Of the
wear and tear Of q quarter Of
century. 1t has certainly had
Its UPS and Downs, but 1t still
manages to squeak" along, and
probably will until the rugged
and strong arms Of those who
use IL give out, II they ever do.
During Its days, yes and nights,
It has carried many a ''hot
lemonade" from the rathskeller
to the 2nd floor.
The work, we understand, is
being conducted under the su-
pervision of the house commit
tee, ut least 1t should be, IL we
understand the language Of the
Constitution. Still, II may be
otherwise, the solid old board of
trustees continues TO have It's
weather eye cooked ON all ex-
penditures, and perhaps the
changes are being made under
the direction Of this well set-up
body.
There appears to be real old
fashioned sentiment among
some Of the members in rela-
ton to the old time furnishings
Of the institution. These pieces
have been there for many years,
and the disposition seems to be
hold onto them until "the cows
come home. The old "Brotherly
Love" spirit stands out con-
spiciously in all discussions
"touchin' on and appertainin'
to-" the old and original book
OF registry, the old umbrella
stand, and the springless or
handy couch settee Of SO many
years standing.
The Elks, by the way, are ar
ynnging for big New Years
Tarty. And at this time, ar
rangements are to be made for
the proper christening Of the
new and expensive Frigidaire,
recently located adjacent to the
main eating room or hall south
Of the Rathskeller.
When everything Is completed
40 planned, the big Bugs" Of
the organization, expect more
social activities than ever.
