liome was in a dilapidated condi-tion.
Ever sinee its organization the
Goodyear Friars' Club has been
liberal in sharing its prosperity
with others less fortunate. The
Children's Home, Springfield Lake
Sanatorium and other institutions
have been benefited by its gen-erosity.
Other clubs have come and gone,
bloomed for a while and waned,
but the Friars' Club has grown
steadily and flourished. And as
long as they continue to remember
others their pfosperity will proba-bly
continue.
A cominittee of Friars consisting
rf Fred Colley, M. H. Kilgore and
H. J. Young accompanied by Miss
Maurer, made the purehase. The
furniture is of Karpen mission de-sign
and is very comfortable and
serviceable.
