With the often postponed So
cial gathering preying on John
L. Mihelich's mind, our Com
mander was not to be daunted
by the weather, and he went to
town when he conducted one Of
the fastest sessions of the year.
With this good beginning the
members had ample time to en-
joy a grand evening at Frank
Nagode's place. Frank is a men,
Der of long standing and he is
always a genial host at any par
ty. Although not being present,
I am sure that all who attended
had a very good time.
Since our portable is in ruins,
our Adjutant has been doing the
tipping, but somehow in a previ-
GUS article he pulled a fast one,
and lately a public stenographer
has been punching on the keys.
(And it isn't for free). Now,
Rudy, watch your fingers when
you type this or a larger bill will
be presented. You know it is
nice to see Our finance officer,
Frank Mervar expand his chest
when he reads the treasury re-
port. Let's keep him in that
mood, for awhile anyhow.
Frank Perme, how did you
catch on that I needed glasses I?
Have I short changed you late
ly?
If you want to be dressed in
style, let John Bukovnik put you
wise. He knows all the answers.
Oh well, a man in his profession
has to be artistic.
Oh yes, I almost forgot to tell
you that our ever present Ed
Posch attended this meeting,
"glad to see you again, Ed"
Incidentally runner up to our
champion Henry Ernacora was
absent again. Now, Hank, that
is two meetings in a row that
you have missed. How come,
Spider Kelly?
Due to conditions, the men,
bers decided not to sponsor a
baseball nine this coming sea-
son. (To save coal, etc?)
Joe Ambrozic and this writer
have been selected to decorate
the veterans graves this year
on Memorial Day. This has been
the custom for some years now.
It seems that 'Red" and your

word anymore. !.
Well, so Ion g till we meet
