Nre Je De Turners, President,
Rotary Club of Independence,
Independence, Kansas.

Dear Joe:
there are one or two donfessions that I
should make to you that I am wondering if you knew.

When your Independence basketball team went
to Kansas City oar a stopped here at Lawrence, and Super-
intendent Stevens and Coach Steckebrand brought the boys
in to say hello. We had quite a visit and I inadvert-
ently mentioned to the boys that I would see them at
Independence. Stevie told me that you had not amounced
the speaker. I hope that I did not spill the beans for
youe ;

Will you kindly tell me what time your elub
meets for noon luncheon? I presume 12 or 12:15. —

One other item, Joe, I think I should mention.
I drive my Buick which happens to be a Buick deluxe sedan,
@ great big hearse. It is the only car that I have and
it eats up a lot of gas and oil. But it is the only way
= & ee ee ee
So cents a mile sach way to break even on
this weight and size. I thought it only fair
that. ¢ pasties this to you because at that rate IT cannot
make any money, but it may seam a lot to pay out for an
animated cartoon just to talk about basketball. vYon't
you write m and let mo know if this is agreeable?

With all good wishes, I an
Rotarily you's,

POALAH President.
