H. E. Day, president, calledj the Lions to order at 6:30 o'clock. | The city government is to be! ‘contacted in the near future in an effort to establish means to cor- rect several dangerous condi-| tions that now exist in regard to; contro! of traffic, it was said. A} résolution, for one thing, is in protess of being formed, calling} for an ordinance to regulate all! local cars in regard to faulty! ‘brakes, lights and mechanism. j{ The subject came to the fore when it was divulged by Lion Raymond Curry that his ‘service station stands ready to install de- vices to facilitate inspection of| cars at no cost to the city. It was! felt that many accidents could be avoided if cars owned by resi- dents were in first-class running! order. | Lion Gerald Saunders was the} speaker of the evening, his re-} marks dwelling on “Lionism”. Lion Saunders called especial at-| tention to two activities spon- sored by Lions Club—Boys and} Girls Work and Citizenship and Patriotism. Allan Hampton and John Cos-} tar were elected to membership in the club. Guest of Lion Aibért Hinson was Don Price. | Shoeveconsevacvcescecees | THE LOW DOWN FROM HICKORY GROVE Omeceesccvscceccce e| Most everything has an end- ing. Even the seven years itch, it ends. And people who have been! wringing their hands and figur-| ing that things down yonder on! our Potomac, they would never/ improve, they are commencing! to see a little clearing of the} skies. And some of the boys down there, they are kinda holding back, before they jump through the hoop. And they are calling confer- ences down there, and half-way more or less making it look like there is team work. At these conferences they may not talk about much of any- thing in particular, but it is something like what the catcher says to the pitcher and vice} versa, when they walk out there} and whisper. It impresses the} grand-stand. { 1939 looks promising. Yours, with the low down, JO SERRA.
