Mems Group
To Wage New
Members War

Daniel Weddle and "Tom" Blow,
both members of the Mems Group
of the Rockville Presbyterian
Church are now lining up teams
for a membership drive which
threatens to be the towns battle
of-the-year.
Messrs. Weddle and Blow are
team captains and they expect to
battle each other until December
in order to see who can bring the
most new members into the church.
While neither Mr.. Weddle nor
Mr.. Blow were available for COM
ment, an informed source said
strtegy plans are in the making
and no quarter will be given by
either side.
This informed source also said
the Weddle team has gone on a
diet in order to be ready for the
final new nose-counting in Decem-
Der. On the other hand, the Blow
team is considering diet, too.
Dieting is in order because the
losing team will have to pay off
with a whopping big dinner at
the December meeting of the
group. Losers must also prepare
and serve the dinner to the win
ners. 1t is rumored that a number
Of observers will be on hand at
the time in order to make sure the
losers actually do the cooking.
All of which brings us to the
dinner meeting held by the group
on Monday, January 81, when
turkey with all the trimmings,
were served. The meal, purported-
ly, was prepared by members
Richard Black, Walter Nicewarmer
and Riley Wray. The Sentinels
same informed source said, how
ever, there is some undercurrent
of opinion that wives had great
deal to do with the preparation.
CAT this point, it should be told
that the SentinePs source of infor-
nation was member Of the Mems
group and was not a part of the
distaff population.)
During the business meeting
which followed the dinner, presi-
dent John Whelan outlined the
work program for the year and
placed particular emphasis on the
groups work with Scout Troop
448 during 1862.
1t was decided, too, that the
group would accelerate its activi-
ties in all fields of church work.
In connection with this, the follow
ing chairmen of committees were
elected: Richard Black, for MEM
bership; AL Gentleman, visitation;
and Dawson Wooten, entertain
ment.
