Plans for @ three.day grand open ing celebration of the Franco Amer ican Social club were discussed last night at the weekly meeting held in the club rooms on South Main street. Although various plans were up for consideration, no definite one has been decided on. The reason for the three-day idea is the fact that the club rooms are not large enough to accommodate all members and their guests at one time. It is believed that a three-day schedule would be sufficient to take care of all who wish to attend.
 The plan outlined by the chairman of the entertainment committee, Harry Mathieu, would include the opening banquet on Sunday evening, a dance on the following night and Mardi Gras festival to close the af- fair on Tuesday evening. Chair man Mathieu has called a meeting of his entertainment committee for next Sunday evening and the plans he has worked out will be submitted to them for approval.
 Three directors were added to the board last night. The new men are as follows: Thomas F. Morin, Har- vey J. Pelletier and William M. Cam bigue. Ernest Brodeur was appoint ed manager of the bowling alleys and several teams are being organ ized. At present, however, the women
