street.
Lion President Gerald Saun-
derS was in the chair, with a
near-perfect attendance of Lions
present and four guests.
Program chairman of the club
introduced the question in a fea-
ture built around one of the edi-
torials in The Citizen yesterday.
The article treated on the moot
subject of whether or not the
United States should place do
meStic affairs in first rank of
Importance above foreign affairs.
Close relationship to the hen
and-egg question was shown to
exist in considering the problem
of which subject should be at the
top of the list Domestic affairs

affairs (the egg, with their trou-

Upon recommendation of the
Public Welfare committee. the
City Council voted to call for
bids to purchase Diesel engines
