It was a bright, warm and sunny day at Inglewood Country Club Friday, November 6, when 54 golfers of Los Angeles Hoo-Hoo Club 2 participated in the rnonthly tournament which was won, as usual, by that fine young golfer, Don Voght, with a low gross 77. The affair also attracted about 100 "Cats" and their guests for dinner and entertainment, and nine "Kittens" were inducted into the international fraternity of lumbermen,

This occasion also marked the return to active duty of Snark

Pioneer Lumberman Gus Luellwitz has done it again this year with his check for the Los Angeles Hoo-Hoo Club 2 Christmas Party honoring the underprivileged youngsters of the LeRoy Boys' Home. During the past three years, this popular veteran of more than a half-century of service to the lumber industry in the West has donated more than $3000 to this worthy cause. It is men of the fraternity like Gus who make this annual event such an outstanding success.

"Thanks, Gus, all Hoo-Hoo members appreciate your wonderful support,t' said Roy Stanton, Sr., in accepting for the club this year.

In a future edition of the CLM. a full roster of lumbermen who financially contributed their support to the big annual party at the Biltmore will be published.

The "Kittens" inducted at this very impressive initiation controversial remarks contained in the annttal report of retiring Snark of the Universe Bob Gallagher. But Harold did seem to think that Cl:ub 2 should continue as a social organizatioll with serious projects which are acceptable to the regional Jurisdictions and local club levels.

Bob Gallagher's message contaius mucl-r food for thought and should be read by all members of the order who have the future welfare of Hoo-Hoo at heart.

During the cocktail hour, throughout the bancluet activity, and while chairman of the prize department Chuck Lember was actively giving away valuable merchandise, alor.rg with case goods of fine beverage, pretty Ann Mills u'ith her accorclion furnished top-flight musical entertaiut.neut with an eye-appeal flavor.
