Spon-; sorships will again be $10 and ] patronships will begin at $25 dollars. Mrs. Johnson states that she | anticipates a highly successful campaign that should be com pleted within a very short time. “I feel confident not only that members of last year will renew their memberships but that many others who saw “Majority of One”, “Watch on the Rhine” and “Arsenic and Old Lace” will wish to take advantage of the membership price as compared with the price of single admis sions.” The other September event on the BLT agenda is the annual picnic which will be held at Camp Straus Sunday, September 16th, at 2:00 p.m. It will be necessary to make reservations for the picnic as dessert and beverage will be fur nished by BLT.
