A Special meeting of the board of directors of the Browerville Vets Club was called on Sunday, February 5. All members were present. The main issue was the discussion of the Vets Club purchasing a new grand piano for the new high school gym. The board and members of the Vets Club highly anticipate this fine addition to our local school system. The Vets Club was not organized for the purpose of drinking an cane raising like some people are led to believe. These vets are interested in our community and anything that leads to leading a good, clean American way of life.
