Welsh Dies Coming Year Will Be At Hospital Following Given Next Meeting , Second Operation The executive board of the Tremonton Commercial club met in a business session Tuesday evening to transact important business and name heads of the different committees. Since President Winzeler made his famous speech at the High school he has had but very little to say and we are not informed as to just what went on behind the closed doors, but enough "leaked out" to make all who hear of it to at least make your vow that you will be at the club meeting next Wednesday no matter what happens. Anyhow we got this much, that some time during the winter one of the directors of the club went on a hunt and bagged an elk and, being a kind hearted fellow and having at hand first hand information that the club members have passed through a hard winter pasturing on straw, so to speak, has decided to give them an elk dinner. Now we don't know whether or not we should have told this, but if you will not say anything to Ben it will be all right. The following chairmen and committees were named: Ben Membership and Finance Winzeler. Advertising and Publicity J. H. Fronk. Entertainment Harry Taylor. Good Roads Dr. Odeen Luke. Merchants S.
