An evening

by the Reading Club for Wednes-

select team of ladies dressed as
“City Slickers” will tackle the
“Flappers”, of the Lions Club In
a softball game at the high school
with the proceeds to go to the
Rural School Library that the
Reading Club is sponsoring.
While arrangements have not
as yet been completed for the fun,
-Mrs. Paul Boethel president of
the Reading Club, has announced
that additional entertainment is
being planned for the evening and
will feature real authentic Lady
umpires for the set-too, which in
itself should be entertaining. In
' making the announcement as to
the umpires engaged for the
game, it is well to remember that
lady folks are also great sport
fans and at times do not agree
with the umpires of the sport and
this is to give the fairer sex an
opportunity to call the decisions
at the plate and on the base paths
as they see them. Urtipires for the
game will be announced in the
next issue of the paper.
Following the first game, will
