8:00 p.m.
In celebration of National
Government Day, Boy Scouts
from four local troops took over
as executives and run the
meeting very capably for the
first part of the evening. Joe

Mayor he would make by

and flair and a stout hammering
of his gavel which made
everyone jump to attention. Boys
from Troop #285, L>m. Elk's Club,

of the Lynbrook Elk's Lodge,

the Pledge of Allegiance, the Boy

by the Building Superintendent,

Clerk was ably represented by
Charles Kuhnow.
