Lions Give
Kids Picnic At
Preventorium
The local Lions Club gave a pic
nic and weiner roast for boys and
girls at the Preventorium yesterday
afternoon about 5 o’clock.
Around 24 children at the place
were entertained by the Lions
through the club’s Boys and Girls
Committee. Lions present were
Tommy Adams, chairman of the
committee, and Robert Howell, Mur
ell Hudson, and Chester Chase
committee members.
After the picnic there was a
baseball game, in which the Lions
I present took part with the chil
dren.
Weight of the children at the
Preventorium is one of the things
they and the sponsors of the camp
are most vitally interested in, and
almost after eating each hot-dog
the children would run inside and
weigh to see how much poundage
they had gained.
