Still convinced the village Dad's club is naught hut a handful

you have better than a good rea-

only has the ball but intends do
ing something with it
And if the much kicked around

where fancily curried hosses
usually trod instead of in Will

you can thank these aspiring club
men. They are not content to ac
cept, the ksue that same hooD
classic Is definitely destined for WU In '48 "because shortage of
materials forbids moving it to the fairgrounds until 1947" If the
proper contacts are mide and the clubmen intend to make them
mrj see no reason wny tne tournament cannot be held at the spacious

In short, the Dad's club feels that
if the tourney isn't moved in '46,
there will be no tourney to move
in '47. Wise deduction.
Shortage Only in Salem?
For the life of them, the club
bers .cannot conceive of material
