Business Men Feed at City Hall Emergency Kitchen
About forty Washington businessmen sampled the same meals as the needy at the city hall emergency kitchen. They paid a quarter for a meal of stew or bean with bread and coffee or buttermilk, and many returned for seconds. The Better Washington Club met there, heard from Art Arrasmith about banking stabilization, and heard a cheerful quartet from the junior college. Clarence Logan, Ralph Gibron, Howard Fulton, and Ray Guest were named dinner committee for April with March entertainment set for next month.
