ed on an invitation to the state
meeting.
Arthur Hartgravrs, club chair
man, said the executive board of
the club which recently an
nounced that it was seeking more
members in a drive for a total of
200, had been forced "into an
agonizing appraisal ’ of whether
to stay active in the federation.
The trouble, he said, was be
cause the local club had not
been invited to attend the state
meeting at Medford.
This has brought "intense dis
approval," Hartgraves said,
among the local members and
officers. However the senior
members of the Republican party
will continue to get support, he
added.
