wanians and their wives were also

Following the introductions, the
group assembled in the church auditorium, where other guests were also

Dice, music chairman. A quartette,
composed of Mr. Dice, Mrs. Floyd Norcutt, Miss Doris Gerow and Jack Hall,

Dr. Hammerberg presented Mr. Wallington, who had the privilege of introducing the guest speaker, Hon. Albert J, Engel, Congressman from the
Ninth District of Michigan, who is
also a native of Lake City, Mr. Wal-
lington's home town.
Mr. Engel, a member of the Michigan Senate for eight years and in Congress for sixteen years, feels keenly
the problems of the government. One
of the committees he has been working ott is the Armed Services. Sub**
Committee of the ApptopriatJ-R >Oom*,
mittee, and as Qha^fettsiJiasciheld*
many responsible investigations.
He centered his talk around "Irreducible Budget Was Not Irreducible."
Having had many experiences during
World War I and World War II at
home and abroad, and the many years
serving in the State Senate and Congress, Congressman Engel has studied
the financial problems of the nation
and quoted many statistical facts.
He said, "I believe we can cut expenditures of Waste and extravagance,
and operate on less money in both the
states and the nation, and use the
method that many businesses use, in
carrying oh the work of the government. Every state has its problems,
with wartime expenditures, and peacetime economy." Mr. Engel has studied
the problems as faced by Congress in
the National Defense Bill and feels
that there is every reason that the
State and Federal Government is the
biggest of all big businesses and
should be handled on that basis.
Dr. Hammerberg expressed thanks
,   to all for coming and dismissed the
meeting in the usual manner.
