COMMUNITY CLUB
 MEETING TONIGHT
Delegation to Attend East End Clubs Installation
 Ceremonies
Washington Hill

There will be short business meeting of the Washington Park Community club, at the Community house at 8:15 this evening. The committee has decided to postpone the social hour which was originally planned for tonight, until the next meeting-the second Tuesday in Oc- tober-i. e. Oct. 13. The East End Community club has extended an invitation to all members and off, cers of the Washington Park Com munity club to attend their install lation of officers, which will be held this evening at the Anderson school gymnasium. President John B. Cuddy will be the installing officer, and for this reason it was thought best to postpone the social hour in order to give the members a chance to attend the East Ends ceremonies.
 A large delegation is expected to attend-eVeryone is welcome.
 The Married Women's Bowling league of Washington Park Com munity house will hold final meet ing this evening at the bowling alleys at 8 o'clock-to complete plans for the coming season. Bowl ing is scheduled to start Thursday, Sept. 24 There are still a few va cancies; so anyone interested should send in their names this evening, if at all possible.
 The annual census of St. Francis parish will be continued this week.
 The pastor is appealing to all par ents to see that their children at- tend the 8:30 o'clock Mass instead of the Masses for adults. About two weeks ago it was announced from the altar requesting this but evidently it has been disregarded, from the rumber of children who have attended Mass with their par ents. Now the pastor hopes that it will not be necessary to enforce this duling, and that the parishion- CTS will cooperate without drastic measures.

Ever since the opening of our intercourse, we have been trying to do our best to reciprocate the friendship exhibited by this country.
