Eagles Plan
Unusual Party

Members of the Newark Eag-
les lodge are planning the most
unusual party" ever held in the
Aerie, according to +. L. Vogel-
meier, secretary, who warns all
Eagles to make plans in advance
for this Thursday night, July 30.
Secretary Vogelmeier is rather
mysterious about it all, and says,
Its a new kind of fun, a new
kind of party, and a new kind of
program" that's in store fo rev.
eryone.
He did let slip, however, that
one of the things they are doing
is making a pledge to the Presi-
dent of the United States with
the signature of every member
of the Aerie, on some proposition
but he won't tell what.
Another stipulation is that
no one is being admitted with
out a piece of scrap iron, rub
Der, aluminium, or something that
the government needs in fight
ing the war. If a member shows
up without it they will have to
back and get it-so says the
Secretary.
