Combining this laudable aim with
Embarrassing job, the Lions, un-
der their President, Jim Hilbert,
are having their yearly sale of
light bulbs this weekend.
At the Glen Echo ESQ Station.
Macarthur Boulevard and Colds.
borough Road, you can buy an
assortment of 10 Sylvania light
bulbs for two bucks. Or, for the
same price, you can have eight
special bulbs to put in your read
ing lamps.
Proceeds from the sale 90 to
send youngsters to camp and
take care of other needs the busy
Lions find out about in the course
of their active year. So this is
a double bargain: you help kids
get to camp, when they wouldn't
make it otherwise: and you pre-
vent (ugh) bulb-snatching in your
own home!

that monster earth-moving equip
ment at the end of Pyle Road

is expected around the middle of
July, according to Jack Biren,
Membership Chairman.
