I can he truthful in saying that ninety
per cent of the members of AZ will be
at Meyers Lake Park on June 18th.
While we are a little more fortunate
than other brothers In East Liverpool
in being able to have transportation,
think there are still enough pOtters
in the spool" with good tires who will
see that everyone who wants to attend
the outing will have transportation.
Everyone is talking about the picnic,
and our entire local membership is
making extensive plans for a great
day. Brother Pete Sanders warned that
time is almost up, If you expect to win
that 100000 cash prize, you better
count your tickets to make certain you
have enough. The lucky n may still
be waiting to be sold.
Come prepared to stay late because
you will not be able to tear yourself
away from the fun.

that you keep up your dues and assess
ments. The following brothers will be
suspended at the next meeting if their
