the right direction, and you will be
glad you gave a hetping hand.

Birthday Sisters or any committee,
please help. All those people eating
your goodies wouid appreciate it also.
Men’s Club President Ed Miculka re-
ported the club wouid be cleaning up
the back yard on May 20. What wouid
we do without these wonderful men
who give so unselfishly of their time,
and don’t even complain. The Men’s
Club is fraternalism in action. Another
thing could be said about some very
important members in that organiza-
tion - you may not agree with them,
but they are professional and fraternal
in every respect, and that makes frater-
nal work worthwhile.
