prohibit minors from participating in the "Men's Club Championship. " It

minors in this type of tournament and that it is also the first year at Miami
Shores that an age limit has been established. After further discussion,
Mr. Carpenter moved, "that the Village Manager write a letter in the name
of the Council to the Golf Committee recommending that the age restriction
on male members participating in club tournaments be held in abeyance
pending an election regarding this matter by the active membership, or the
adoption of the club by-laws by the membership; and further recommend
that an election on this matter be held so that the final results are obtained
prior to March 10, 1955. " The motion was seconded by Mr. Claussen and
passed unanimously.

to establish a pension fund for employees and upon motion made by Mr.
