Lowell Feb. 12 1934
Twenty Businessmen, headed by Norman BORGERSEN, president of the Lowell
Board of Trade, Friday waited upon H.L. WEEKES and Rev. R. W. MERRILL,
pastor of Lowell Methodist Church, presenting each with a fleece-lined
bathing suit. The mementoes were in recognition of the fact the two men 
took advantage of the spring like weather Thursday to take dips in the 
Flat River.

LOWELL MINISTER BUSINESSMEN TAKE FEBRUARY PLUNGE
Rev. R.W. MERRILL, pastor of the Methodist church; H. L. WEEKES, prominent
business man and A.F. ZWEMER, teacher of science at the high school,
penetrated the jungles along the Flat river today and struck by the balmy
breezes their fancy turned to spring. Rev. Merrill and Mr. Weekes were
challened to take a plunge in the refreshing waters, freed from Ice only 
the day before.
