a driveway will run behind it and

The site of the old building has

temporarily, according to Mr Lamharth. The partition between the
old building and the lumber shed
which adjoined it to the back has

shed. The remainder of the stock of.

season Thursday and remained until
Sunday, but for some reason the trio
had little success in luring the finny
residents of the streams from their
place of abode.
The angling ability of the three is
above reproach, so that it must have
been local conditions such as adverse
weather, well fe.d trout, outside diversions or pure "cussedness" on the
part of the fish. At any rate, the
verdict was that there were. few-
trout but plenty of suckers.
IN MEMORIAM
Tj^ loving memory of our darling,
Rubena H. Finkbeiner, who died
May 8, 1930.
No one heard thex footsteps
Of the angels drawing near,
Who took from earth to heaven
The one we loved so dear.
The pearly gates were open,
And a gentle voice said '"Come,"
And with farewell unspoken
She calmly entered home.
Sadly missed   by Mother, Father,

reports of the twenty-third district

April 27 and 28, at the regular
Thursday noon meeting of the club
at The Tavern. Those making the
reports were Dr. J. B. Wallace, C. A
Curtiss, Alwin Gross." Dr. C. O.
Woodbridge,. E. F.. Henne, Sim. R-
Wilson and Charles Howard.
Two new members were added to
the list of those making up the club
with the names of Alwin Burkhardt
and Henry Leutheuser now on the
list. The membership now includes
17 "business and professional men of
the town.
As is the custom each year, a
member of the high school graduating class was taken along to attend
the conference meetings which are
held -especially for boys. Charles
Howard was the one to make the
trip this year and he made a good
report to the club aiong with the
Ttg."lar members who reported.
"I never knew what Rotary stood
for, but after attending this convention I assure you I found it to oe a
wonderi,..!. organization of which the
aims are none but the highest," said
^ f--v • s in his report. ,
"After registering at the Dnrsat
hotel Monday morning, we attended
the general assembly, which was held
in the Industrial Mutual Association
auditorium, a very large huilding
which has a seating capacity of ove*
6,000. The main floor is 90 feet wid*
and 165 feet long with balconies c«
three sides.
"The meeting was called to order
and the welcome given by C. W. Darwin, host and president of the local
club, who, introduced William Mc-
Keighan, mayor of Flint. "Walter
Jakson, president of the Rotary club
of London, Ont., gave the response.
Addresses were given by Claybrook
Cottingham, industrial director from
Lousiana, and Arthur Fitzgerald,
district governor.
"In the afternoon I attendled the
boys' assembly which Charles Shane
had charge of. Claybrook Cottingham and Frank Learmont'gave talks
and the program was ended with a
fine gpeech by Stanley A. Graves,
dean of the literary school of Detroit
Institute of Technology. Mr. Graves
spoke of the cohEact with life and:
things and showed how the activity
of boys is important in the development of men. He showed the influence of groups such, as the Y. M.
C. A. and the Boy Scouts. He also
stated that religion should not be left
°ut of life, either with boys or men.
"At 6:30 we attended! the conference dinner at the auditorium and
were entertained by"Willard Schind-
ler, well known "baritone of the American Opera Company and an address was delivered by Captain W. G.
Martin, minister of public welfare for
the province of Ontario. After the
conference dinner, the tables were
cleared away and the place prepared
for the district ball, which began at
9 o'clock, and music was furnished
by a 12-piece band.
"At the Tuesday morning meeting there were several.speakers including John S. Page of Howell, Edward Riges of Ontario and Glenn
Grain of Lapeer. The last speaker
told of the value of the student loan
fund to Lapeer. He gave an example
of how the son a potato grower came
to hiitn and. after a' few month's
training, taught his father somethings about planting potatoes that
he had never known before.
"The closing session was held in
the afternoon at which Dr. Frederick
B. Fisher of Ann Arbor gave an address and the new district governor,
James Ottaway of Port Huron, was
introduced."
