Lions. Rotary
Enjoy Fun at
joint Meefinq

One of the most enthusiastic
meetings Of the year for the
Mount Clemens Lions Club was
held Thursday noon at the Go
wanie club, in fact the meeting
reSembled a national conven-
ton of either the Democrats or
Republicans for its spontaneous
ramblings and jumping up of
members who wanted TO state
their views.
The meeting was joint one
with the Mount Clemens Ro-
tary Club and came as surprise
TO members of both clubs who
were not aware of the double
meeting until they arrived at
the club.
George Mccoy, chairman Of
the weekly program planned
the whole thing as grand sur
prise TO all there. Tom Place,
president of the Lions Club and
Harold Lindsey, president of the
Rotary Club were both quickly
and unanimously deposed as
presiding officers for the day.
They were disqualified for hav-
ing mustaches. In their place,
Bill Floore of the Lions and
Fred Harris of the Rotary were
installed, or rather. just took
over the running of the meeting
and what job they did.
One of the highlights of the
meeting, was the tall story tell
ing contest, which was won by
the following members DR..
George Moore, Chauncey Brett
meyer, Walter Daily, and Bill
Harper, who being a politician,
was a favorite contender. ------
Fred Harris, of the Rotary
Club, is without a doubt one of
the most versatile master Of
ceremonies in Mount Clemens
and kept the meeting rolling
along at top speed. Bill Floore
of the Lions had to do some fast
thinking to keep up with him.
All members of both clubs and
their guests for the day enjoyed
golfing after the meeting ad-
journed. .
