Kinsmen support Committee members deferred a motion to purcbase an advertisement in tbe Kinsmen national membership magazine.

In the past council bas not responded to requests tor support, partly due to budget restraints and partly because ni the need to be fair to otber groups wbich might ask for tbe Town's financial support, Mr. Krantz said.
