One of our brothers shouldn't ever learn a part He can add. take out some, put some here and there and all togther it is we'll done and well said
 We have another initiation next week and 1 suggest that you come and hear this oration. Soon We will be on a monthly schedule. begin ming the first of Jhne.
 The lunch committee is really getting a work out. The trustees have to work two weeks straight. They prepared a very fine lunch last week and I believe We won't fare too badly next time.
 Bro. Thornquist's son is improv- ing very nicely and will soon leave the hospital. Bro. Hansons son, who has also been very sick is on the road to recovery. Bro. Bowman's s son is now wearing a cast on his arm. I haven't heard the details of why. It looks like either the mem bers have all boys or they are the only ones who get sick.
