CIT would be your recollec-
ton, then, that such payment
was only made once, is that cor
rect?
A-Pm pretty sure. 1 believe
that's about right, that but one
payment was made and l think
that's the first year it was open
ed up - or the first season.
CIT is your recollection that
the payment was for the first
year?
A-FOr the first season. 1t was
so much a month, but l don't re-
member how many months they
had it open.
Q-And do you recall having
received any further payments?
A-NO.
Q-NoW Mr.. Gray when did
the Automotive Workers Build
ing Corporation purchase the
Sand Lake tract from the Will
O-Land Sportsmen's Club?
Al don't know, in '46 or al.
1t was before the farms, / know
that. I'd almost have to look at
the record to be sure.
Q-Would you say that it was
in April of 1947?
Alt was in the early part of
the year, l know. Now, / say,
that's something well, / know
it wasn't in the fall.
Q-All right Now, within
your recollection when was the
first farm consisting of ninety
six acres purchased?
Al believe it was the same
year
Q-Yess-
A "a few months later.
Q-Would you say shortly af-
ter the Summer Camp was pur-
chased?
A-Well, l know that it was
MT too many months away that
it was done. l don't know what
you mean by shortly"
Q-You would say if the
Summer Camp was purchased in
April of 1947 that farm number
one, that is, the 96 acre farm
was also purchased in 1947,
would you not?
AID rather say it this way
- on the basis of shortly after.
I'm confused about the dates
and l don't want to say some
thing about the dates and not
be right about it. 1t was shortly
after that when they decided to
buy it and put some stuff i'm it
for the kids.
Q-Would you say that farm
number two, consisting of 1870
acres, was purchased by the
Automotive Workers Building
Corporation the same year the
Summer Camp was purchased?
Aft it wasn't ii was - Oh,
don't know - Christ - they
were cutting some grain there
and / don't know what month it
was.
Q-But it is your recollection
these purchases were made
either in 1916 or 1947, is that
correct?
A-The first two, but / don't
know about that 130 acres; that
could have been 1947 or '48. l
don't know.
Q-All right. Do you recall,
relative to these other purchases,
when the 80-acre tract of land
was purchased?
A-TO the best of my knOwl-
edge it was shortly after we pur-
the 1870 acres. 1t wasn't
too far apart.
Q-But you do recall they
were all purchased in 1947?
A-That / don't recall.
Q-But it is your recollection
that it was either 1916 or 1947?
Apart of them. l don't know
all of them - because there's
too many pieces of property and
you're trying to nail me down
on dates and I'D have to look at
the records to give you those,
and l wouldn't know until Il
looked at the books. I'd have to
look at the books.
Q--Now Mr.. Gray, who is the
farm manager?
A-Well, don't k' ow what
you mean by that. i mean there's
a guy works out there who is
the superintendent.
Q-Who is the man in charge
Of operating the farms?
Al could say it this way -
I'm trying to give you as decent
as l can. The guy takes
his orders from Gosser but he
is called the superintendent and
i'm the meantime / think Glenn
has something to do
with it, but how much l don't
know.
Q-You would say Gosser
runs the farms?
Ale issues the orders any
how -- at least, he has.
Q-Who is Mr.. Holewinski?
