A number of the ‘old Boys’ have formed what they call The Old Men’s Club which meets every Sunday afternoon around a table in The Champion Lunch Room and Beer Tavern, 24th and Patrick St. There they buy rounds of drinks and live over the days gone by and tell of their exploits when they were gay young blades and had n lot more on the ball. ***** As the drinks keep flowing it is reasonable to presume that the stories and incidents become more enlivened and dramatic. Those in which they at first were more cr less parties of the second part te Come ones in which they are hero es, and unimportant events take on the garbs of incidents of major importance in which had it net been for their cleverness or brav ery, might have resulted in disas ter for others involved.

George Newhouse, Benny Bennet, Jim Carter and John Campbell, the most active member of the club, (if not the only members of it)_ have been seen in action a number of times by one who is in the know. And he states that they really can go to town in regards to tit* telling of stories when they ?et mellow. ***** Nevertheless, the lot of them do lobody no harm,—have a lot of un and continue to look ahead to he next Sunday with eagerness. i HSITING HIS FATHER < Sgt.
