It was the session that we had at our meeting, which proved to be b'de of the most spirited and interesting affairs that we have seen in a long time. No, we did not go to a great expense to provide an extensive lloorshow. The interest and spirit was all demonstrated Ijy the members during the meet »ng itself and it sure was good to :tee. If you believe that a meeting is a stuffy affair you certainly missed a real treat. It is very doubtful if anv of those present will miss another meeting for a long time because the interest ill ihe council and its activities was greatly stimulated.
