Pioneers To Play Second
Game of Card Series
Saturday Night
As will be noted elsewhere in
this issue, the Pioneers will hold
the second card party of the 1953
series Saturday evening.
During the week, officers of
the Igloo and Ladies Auxiliary
met and decided on the grand
prizes to be awarded at the close
of the series. As usual, and char
acteristic of the Pioneers, they
chose gold. Harry Hagen is now
working the raw gold into the
various designs far the trophies.
These will be on display later.
It is evident that the people of
the town appreciate these card
parties as they are always well
attended.

Chamber of Commerce met last
evening and elected officers for
the year. Dewey Goodrich was
elected president, H. F. Harper,
vice president, Dr. Fred Langsam,
treasurer and Carl Glavinovich,
