He also hasa habit (irritating to some of his colleagues) of saying when he is interrupted in a speech factor that’s . styled well and put to- A large selection of styles , chairman | Come in and see our 2s and toasty, for a question: ticipated the gentleman is going to ask and \ull | answer it ux.:ul‘ te Townsend Club Has | Dancing at Meehng} The Juneau Townsend Club met last night and, following the regu- lar routine session, dancing was enjoyed with music being fur- nished by E.
