Editors Plan Boat Trip For Southern Illinois Editorial Association
Editors and their families will travel by boat from St Louis to Cape Girardeau Missouri for the Southern Illinois Editorial Association annual meeting on June 18 to 20. The Majestic steamer will carry up to 150 passengers with some sleeping on deck as the Cape carries only 28. The trip includes a St Louis gathering, a noon arrival, and return to St Louis by about 9 pm. Financial notes show the Eagle Packet company over 3,000 in assets with 1,409 owed for borrowed funds and equipment, amid creditor pressure and internal management issues leading to a court bid for a receiver.
