San Francisco Lumbermen Hold Dinner And Smoker

Nearly one hundred Bay District lumbermen gathered at the San Francisco Commercial Club, Wednesday night October 19th, to attend a "get together" dinner sponsored by San Francisco FIoo Hoo Club No. 9. One of the pleasing features of the dinner was that the usual prepared speeches were taboo. Toastmaster Frank O'Connor called on several of those present for short talks, including the president of Oakland Club No. 39 Clem Frazer, Bert Johnson, president of San Francisco club No. 9 and vicegerent snark Bob Grant and state counselor Fred Roth.

The program provided by the entertainment committee under the leadership of Russell Gheen was high claSs. One of the offerings was a ventriloquist who had been ably coached in regard to some of the members and his act was a big hit. The dancing girls with the assistance of Dud Else and Chauncey Stibich put on several pleasing numbers.

Bill Godard headed a large delegation from Oakland. Alameda was represented by Merrill Robinson and Clem Fraser. Harry Gaetjen was there twice, once from Chicago and once from San Francisco; Harry is still young enough to go to the circus and told of an experience he had at a recent performance.

The San Francisco ciub is having excellent noon day meetings, meeting the second and fourth Friday of each month. A special effort is being made to interest the retail trade and also the planing mill men.
