AUGUST 1948

The annual Greens Chairman and Greenkeeper
meeting was held at the Weston Golf Club, Weston, Mass. A considerable number of members
and Chairmen were in attendance. A demonstration of the Aerifler and CO2 low gallonage stainless steel sprayer was held through the courtesy
of the Clapper Co. It was well received.
The attendance prize, comprised of a tractor
umbrella donated by the Clapper Co., created
interest. You were asked to guess the approximate
number of beans enclosed in a glass jar. The
winner, George Volhmer, of Minot, Mass., came
the closest to guessing the correct amount. The
j a r actually contained 2970 beans.
A fine luncheon was served and enjoyed by
those present. Following luncheon, a short business meeting was held, President Philip Cassidy
presiding.
A card from Mr. and Mrs. William MacBride
was read, thanking all for the gift which they received on their 25th wedding anniversary. A
letter was also read from Jack Counsell, stating
that he is well on the road to recovery and is
expecting to attend the next meeting. Glad to.
hear that Jack.

Delinquent members, please send your 1948 dues
