L: Smith occupying the chair in the absence of President Presi-dent E. R. Moody, who was ill. Road matters occupied a major part of the time. Dr. R. R. Shannon, who had been absent from several recent meetings and had just become a proud father for the second time -was 'invited to discuss both subjects, sub-jects, and told of his pleasure at being back with the Lions, adding that on the subject of his recent paternity he had little to say, except ex-cept that it had been one terrific ordeal for him, though his wife and babe were doing well. (And he said it like he meant it!) Lion L. A. Wynaught was invited invit-ed to say something about the progress of the proposed Fremont pass road connecting highways 91 and 89 at a point immediately south of Beaver, but stated that little could be done about this project pro-ject until such time as the snow was off the road and the survey completed. Lion J. R. Murdock jr. stated that completion of a good road at this point would mean a great deal, since it would permit stockmen and potato growers grow-ers of Piute and Garfield counties coming, here to load for the Los Angeles markets at considerable savings in distance for them.

Rumor of the earJy removal of the local C C C camp was mentioned men-tioned and it was this which evoked considerable discussion on road matters, Lion George Jefferson Jeffer-son expressing the belief that some of the most important projects pro-jects of this kind had been overlooked. over-looked.
