Show Special Meeting Of Milford Lions Is Held Saturday, James M. Sargent of Panguitch and Ray E. Carr of Richfield, president and secretary, respectively, respec-tively, of the Associated Civic Clubs of Southern Utah; and Fred Bruhn, a prominent member of the Panguitch Lions club, were guests of the Milford club last Saturday evening at a special meeting of the club. The cinner meeting, held at the Union Pacific dining room, was called by Lion President E. R.' Moody with a view to clearing up,' if possible, some of the suspicion of, local club members with regard to: the recent change in the plan for. electing association director.' Where oirectors formerly were, elected by the service clubs form-', ing the association, the power of: electing these directors now rests with persons holding memberships in the association. j Despite the rather tense feeling j at times, the meeting was kept on i a peaceable basis with a minimum j of personalities. Information was furnished by President and Secre- tary Carr as questions were asked but only a hazy knowledge was gained of incidents leading to inauguration in-auguration of the new plan of voting. vot-ing. Both visitors were loud, however, how-ever, in their protestations that the changes were not aimed at the local situation. President Sargent seemed to be under the impression that the new plan was in effect a full year ago, but con'tradictiory statements made later in reply to direct questions brought the lapsed time down to a matter of months. And a paragraph from the official minutes of the association, which came to light after the meeting, proves that the new plan was set up in a motion made by Director Wynaught of Milford at the Green River meeting of the association, held September 16, 1939 less than 30 days days before the plan was placed in operation. Near the end of the meeting, Secretary Carr was asked if tne name of the association was not misleading under the new plan, since it was no longer made up of civic clubs, and he agreed that this was the case. Lion Bruhn of the Panguitch club, in a brief talk, told of what the Associated Civic Clubs of Southern Sou-thern Utah had meant to him and for various parts of southern Utah. Lion President Moody, in conclusion, con-clusion, expressed the hope that the association, in anything it was called on to do in the future, would use the same speed that had been displayed in setting up and putting into effect the new plan of nominating nomi-nating and electing directors of the association. Present at the meeting were local Lions E. R. Moody, E. L. Smith, Robert Tomsik, S. A. Za-briskie, Za-briskie, O. C. Koch, F. R. Gaines, L. A. Wynaught, Thomas Gerrard, Ruoolph Nielsen, D. E.
