Members of Moose Lodge and
Women of the Moose are digging

tions are in the process of com
pletion. Anyone not in costume

However, committee members
announced, all fines'will be gear
ed to rusty-hinged purses, run
ning around five and ten cents,
proceeds to go to the flag fund
for Brownie Girl Scouts.
Moose Hall will be transform
ed into a typical tramp-jungle.
Women of the Moose will take
lunches, tied in bandanas, to be
auctioned off with one dollar
limit. Proceeds from the auction
will help pay the musicians.
The party will also honor birth
days of Tom and Gen Moffitt and
Dave Bryant. .
All members are urged to get
out their “rug material” and get
ready for a real evening of fun
and entertainment.
Heinie" Snider, Territorial
Senator, now back at work for
the Road Commission was dis
cussing the break-up the other
morning. “Roads, roads, every
body tells me the roads are bad.
I tell them the roads are good_
we’re working on them all the
lim®* Then my wife asks me,
"Heinie, what makes you late for
supper?' and I tell her 'Oh, I got
stuck'
