Stroud, race committee chairman, fired the warping .;gur. at l:4s‘p.m. Fifteen minutes later gun was fired for the N. O. D. class, followed by the 5-minute gun and then the starting gun. The starting gfin was the 10-minlte gun for the Snipe class and it was followed by the 5-min-ute and. starting blasts. J. H. Plasket in Glorie 111 came in first in the N’. O. D. class. He was closely pressed by Typhoon 11. piloted, by Ed Dodez, Heigh Ho guided by Herb Herdan, with Carlos Recker and Jim Henning finishing 4th and sth. In. the Snipe Class, a poor start was made. Stults and Nichens jumped the gun, thus making F. Levinson, piloting Gloria 11, in Ist place in the Snipe class. Stults and Nichens finished 2nd and 3rd. The race started in very light winds and was finished just in the nick of time. Shortly after making the home bouy the afternoon storm broke. Violent winds swung the boats wildly at their bouys and the Boeltger and Plasket Nationals capsized in the harbor with all sails down, z . Board of Directors to Meet The Wawasee Yacht Club board of directors will meet in the club lounge at 10 a.m. Sunday. Several important matters are on the agenda. ' "Hbuse Committee Chairman, J. F. Jacobs will make a report as will membership procurement chairman Bill Rockhill. Paul E. Hess, treasurer, will give a financial report. A racing membership will be decided upon for the convenience of lake residents who own sail boats and would like to avail themselves of only racing priviledgea. Additional Parking Space The lots at the rear of the club grounds have been secured for parking purposes. The weeds will be mowed and members are asked to park there, rather than in the area by the water-front. Picnic Lunches Enjoyed It is impossible to list all the guests and family groups that availed themselves of club facilities last week-end. However, it was noted that the Hennings. Grahams. Flaskets, Reckers and the Stults families and guests had picnic lunehes. Miss June Merriman cut a birthday cake on Saturday night and shared it with those present. z Each week shows an increase in the use of the club facilities. Officials are quite gratified by this trend as it shows a healthy interest in the club and activities. House committee chairman, P. F. Jacobs, urges all overnight guests to register at once upon arrival and to deposit the small overnight fee. In this manner, better provision can be made for late corners and also alleviate the necessity of the embarrassing task of asking for the overnight deposits.

Russell, “Night Must Fall" relates the tale of a murderer-at-large and of his mental and emotional changes as he masks as a most charming likeable boy in the household of. a crotchety old lady. Reviewers have called It the most “suspense holding” show! ever written. Music and flags and moving spotlights will mark the official opening of the first performance next Wednesday and it will. ■ in many ways, resemble a Hollywood preview showing. Refreshments will '*be served during and after ths show- in the barn which will hereafter be open to the -friends of the Country Playhouse, and be known as “The Scene Dock.” Reservations can now be made at the box-office by calling Cromwell 58F12. Most middle-agied men look all right—until they get into a bathing suit. For business men only— Homer J . Buckle, advertising specialist, says: 1. It’s & fallacy that the public will always soek the best. 2. It’s a fallacy that the public knows what it wants. , price and value: > 3. It’S a fallacy that the public will reward enterprise and service. 4. It’s a fallacy that the public ynows what it wants. 5. It’s a fallacy that the public will demand over any great length of time what it is not reminded of. Hence, Mr. Buckley recommends persistent sales promotion find advertising.
