Minutes of Second Meeting
Second Meeting: November 11, 1938 (Armistice Day)
The second meeting of the CERA was held Friday, November 11th, 1938 in a car of the Chicago North Shore & Milwaukee RR on a stub track at the Wilson Ave. station at 7:30 P.M. Preceding the meeting proper a dinner was held in a CNS&M dining car provided for the CERA next to the car in which the meeting was to be held. Over 25 fans enjoyed their dinner, while observing commuters returning home on the “L".
Movies by member George Krambles opened the meeting. The movies were on the following electrics: Chicago North Shore & Milwaukee; Gary Railways; Milwaukee Electric and Wisconsin Power & Light Co. Particularly interesting to the fans were the movies of the North Shore fan trip.
Three five minute talks followed the movies. B.L. Stone spoke on North Shore Signals and Train Operation; Harold Odinius on North Shore Rolling Stock; and Robert Konsbruck on Equipment and Power of the North Shore Line. The models presented by H. Odinius in his talk was particularly interesting to the fans assembled.
CERA business discussion was next on the program. It was decided that membership in the CERA was to be $1.00 a year. This was to cover cost of mailing notices, membership cards and general club expenses but did not include bulletins published by CERA. Members were to obtain these at reduced prices, however.
Meeting adjourned: Number present--39
