But jack took Sally by surprise (she really hadn't expected a ring this spring) and in this case one ring naturally led to another. Sally just has to call Mother who is visiting out-of-town.

Clubs form a valuable part of our social structure. They encourage co-operation and mutual under- standing. They promote activities that benefit our social life. Many of these clubs are granted authority by the Liquor Control Board to serve beer to their members.% To many of them, especially Veteran and Labour Clubs, this provides useful assistance in improving the accommodation in their premises and increasing the scope of their good work. The opportunity which these clubs provide for relaxation is provided also in hotel beverage rooms to those not fortunate enough to be members of a club —but to whom relaxation is as essential. The same law provides for both. 6'a 6e686'e6.8sada 105(11000000 6.110505000500550000 The present law permitting Veterans' Clubs to sell beer to their members has been of great assistance in maintaining suitable club rooms and has enabled them to expand their efforts to assist ex -service men and overcome their economic difficulties and physical handicaps. In the past the bootlegger received a large part of this revenue, which now is used in the interests of groups of patriotic citizens bound together by their service for their King and Country. Veterans' Clubs are a great asset to any community as they stand as veritable Gibraltars of patriotism in the midst of unsettled conditions and foreign "isms." —Taos.
