Walrus Club Notes
•
The Walrus Club held a lengthy
and spirited meeting last evening
at the City Hall and many plans
were discussed of civic interest.
The committee in charge of he
Milk Fund for the school children
were gravely concerned with the
lack of response of the general
public in purchasing the weekly
tickets and unless revenue picks
up are considering abandoning the
worthy project. Added to the dif
ficulty of collections was the fact
that the milk company sent a
shipment of milk last week in
quart containers which could not
be used at the school. The milk is
being disposed of at the Nome
Grill at cost.
The boxing match committee
have laid tentative plans for a
show soon and anyone interested
in taking part in invited to the
Walrus Club meeting next Thurs
day whether they are members or
not.
The boxing matches sponsored
by the club last year were very
popular.
