a ladies night program at Chetco

ent to enjoy the chicken dinner
and program.
Before turning over the gavel
and president’s pin to his suc
cessor, immediate past president.
Lloyd Moss reviewed his year
with the Brookings club, told of
the club achievements, and how’
hr appreciated the co-operation
given him.
Foremost, according to Moss’
talk, was the purchase of the
new' ambulance, and how each of
the club had done his part; of
the scholarships to the 4-H club
summer school and how these
youth had show’n their apprecia
tion to the club.
In accepting the gavel, Warren
Smith briefly outlined his year’s
program, and asked for co-op
eration, and told of the first act
he had undertaken, in inviting
the Canadian hand here for next
Monday. “This was done quickly

meeting, or submit the question
to the club.”
