GORE CATHOLIC CLUB

(From the club correspondent.) At the weekly meeting of the Gore Catholic Men's Club there was a fair attendance of members. Mr. P. Lynch presided. The business for the evening was a question-box, in dealing with which all present took part. Some of the questions evoked considerable discussion, particularly 'Should the totalisator be abolished?' 'Should Britain go to war with Germany over the Moroccan trouble V ' Should Kaka have been hanged V ' Should members of a Democratic Government accept titles?' A syllabus was drawn out for the incoming month and a committee was set up to ascertain the advisableness of forming a football club in connection with the society. August 8. A largely attended meeting of the Gore Catholic Young Men's Club was held in Holland's Buildings last evening, Mr. P. Lynch presiding.
