Elect May”

Meeting; Tentative
Date Set For May 1

Oscar P, May, Atchison attorney,
was elected at a conference in the
Presbyterian church last night to

Men’s Brotherhood meeting tenta-
tively scheduled for the first week

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.

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

tler, Trinity Lutheran; Fred Need-
