An appeal was made for proper decorum in the club rooms and it was pointed out that the organization cannot hope to become a power for good in the community' unless it has cmmunity sentiment behind it- The closing of the card and billiard rooms on Sunday, a thing which public sentiment is asking for, was suggested as the proper thing to do for there are a great many members of the club who never use those rooms and who would like to see them closed up on the Sabbath Day. These members, it was pointed out, have never complained at paying their dues to maintain these for the benefit of those who like them and the rule of give and take must be carried out to the fullest ex- invitation of President E.
