Last year over 700 people at- tended the barbecue, and this year a still larger crowd is ex- pected since the event is being staged earlier in the season. A large part of the crowd last year was campers from along the lake, who all remarked that they thoroughly enjoyed the meal.

The proceeds from the lucky draw will go towards the Lions Club crippled children fund. All through the barbecue the visitors will be entertained by organ music, as well as several other musical numbers. A short program will follow the dinner, before the frolic gets under way. There will be bingo and other games of chance in operation at the frolic. Red Cross Bloody Donor Clinic Is Scheduled for Zurich on July 26 A Red.
