With this balance on band the committee felt certain of its ability to meet the expenses incurred during the sesson of 1910.1611, and consequently no effort whatever was made as to the sale of tickets. The books have not been closed, but there is in sight the result anticipated in a slight balance over expenses, It Is evident that by pushing the sale of course tickets and enlisting the interest of the people in the country within easy access of Centre Hall, the movement could be made to earn a» tions Canadas lodge in country, or to posterity, evade that pain duty. —————— A ———— If Flinn Were a Judge !
