The CM proposal still has a long way to go before it gets endorsation, but the important point is that it wasn't stifled and that the council was willing to go along at least for a while to have a closer "look-see" at the proposal. That is a healthy sign of progress One of the biggest prejudices against the proposal ig that some councillers regard it as a reflection on the present system which, of course, is not true.

Those Armory visitors fortunate enough to be ex- tended an invitation to the SM soon discover why it is so popular; also the true meaning of "hospitality". The SM has a happy atmosphere, thanks to "Bill" Milne, a competent executive and a hard- working membership. You can also find a quiet, dig- nified form of discipline there (the kind that per- meates any well - run gentlemen's club) but it's not visible to the naked eye.
