However, if they do not sell their thousand tickets, they will not display this phenomenon. (Look at C.B, and see it for nothing.) Bud Bassott - wants to know how he can get out to St. Samuels on Sunday evenings. He says he wants to go to Young People’s Meeting. ( I thin!: it is a girl.) Somebody made the remark that Chas.
