I am sure that any of the three subjects you
mentioned will be entirely satusfactory for our

rather give and then notify me of your selection
so I can arrange the program accordingly.

Churchmen,
Elect May”

To Head Brotherhood
Meeting; Tentative
Date Set For May 1

Oscar P, May, Atchison attorney,
was elected at a conference in the
Presbyterian church last night to
head the seventh annual city-wide
Men’s Brotherhood meeting tenta-
tively scheduled for the first week
in’ May. Russell Keithline was
elected vice president, Leslie Long
was re-elected treasurer, and Har-
vey Buckley was re-elected secretary.

With some brotherhoods having
over 50 per cent of their member-
ship in the armed forces, the ques-
tion arose as to whether the meet-
ing should be held this year. The
following opinions were expressed:

Bob Jacobs: “If we stop now, we
will be in the same position as we
were six years ago, namely, no ma-
chinery for the meeting, and will
have to start all over again.”

Mr. May: “Where else can the
churchmen and the church leaders
of the city meet in one body?”

Tom Garvey: ‘Our sons and]
grandsons are fighting forour lib-
erty and our freedoms. The city-
wide Brotherhood association is a
real part of the home fires we must
keep burning for them.”

Frank Todd was appointed chair-
man of the speakers and toastmas-
ter committee, R. A. Jacobs and
Claude Fitzgerald were appointed as
other members. William - Stanton,
.|jr., was named chairman, and Bill
Autimari and Ralph Fletcher were
named members of the program
committee.

Evan Tonsing, C. E. Menke and
Al Jacobs were named members of
.the banquet committee, and Ross
Scoggin was selected as head of the
committee on general arrangements.

Chairmen of different churches
represented in the brotherhood are
Dr, J. Harry Lloyd, Methodist; Philip
Shrack, Episcopal; Russell Keith-
line, St. Mark’s Lutheran; Carl Nes-
tler, Trinity Lutheran; Fred Need-
ham, Presbyterian; Carl Benson,
First Baptist; Carl Reid, Carol Bap-
tist; and Dr. A. E. Ricks, . First
Christian.

The “left handed fielders,” a gen-
eral utility committee, are A. P.
Bishop, chairman, Frank. Roberts, |
vice-chairman, and George McIn-
tosh and C. W. Runyan.

Dear Dr. Allen:

In connection with our telephone
conversation concerning your appearance before the Protestant
Church Brotherhood of Atchison, Tuesday evening, April 27th.,
at 6:30 P.M., at the Methodist Church, I am attaching a clipping
showing the annual meeting of the Brotherhood.

O.P, May is an attorney of Atchison
and his wife has served on the Board of Directors of the Alumni
Association for a number of years. The Mize family, quite a number
of which have attended the University, is active in this organization
and you may get a little local color from this clipping.

This group is very much interested
in hearing from you and with your standing in the athletic world
I know they will find it very much worth while.

The Brotherhood will expect to take
care of any expense you may incur and will make room reservation
at the Hotel if it seems desirable to stay over night.

Trusting this meets with your con-

venience,

Very truly yours,
