The meeting of the Junior Pioneers
1t Turner Hall Sunday afternoon was
not so we'll attended as it should have
been. What it lacked in numbers
was, however, made up in enthusiasm
and Q pronounced determination on
the part of those present to take
charge OF the golden jubilee and when
this question was put to vote it was
unanimously carried. The chairman
upon calling the meeting to order
stated that it had been called for the
purpose of perfecting q permanent
organization, to decide whether to
take active charge of the proposed
celebration, and to discuss matters in
general.
When the question OF electing:
permanent officers came up, differences
of opinion prevailed, some main.
tanning that this should be postponed
to . subsequent and larger meeting,
others fav0ring the selection OF an
executive committee to have charge of
the celebration which should elect its
own officers and others again advo-
eating the election of officers of the
Junior Pioneers irrespective of the
coming celebration. The latter view
met the approval of the majority and
the following officers we're elected for
the ensuing year: Pres, Albert
Steinhauser; Vice-Pres., J. P. Graf;
Secy., VIM. Pfaender, Jr.; Treas,
VIM. J.. julius. Athenas Henle had
been nomina ted for Secretary but he
declined the honor.
These officers were constituted
committee to present to the next meet
ing . list Of members to be voted upon
% tho executive committee to have
charge Of the celebration. The size of
this committee 10 to be left to them.
The meeting itself, however, shsfl
have the right to make further nomt-
nations. For the purpose of agreeing
upon the list to be submitted, the
of,cers will meet Thursday evening.
When the question of securing
members was discussed, P. p. Mander.

members by depositing one dollar
with the Treasurer.
When the question came up as to
who should be eligible to membership
it was voted that all children whose
parents we're here during the Indian
Outbreak or prior thereto and who, II
living at that time, were not old
enough to bear arms should be con-
sidered as Junior Pioneers. The
committee on preparing lists OF junior
pioneers was instructed to send out
notices by mail calling attention to the
next meeting to be held at Turner Hall
next Sunday afternoon and the
meeting thereupon adjourned.
The question of raising funds to
finance the golden jubilee will have to
be dealt with in q short time and it
was suggested by some alter adjourn
ment that the Junior Pioneers arrange
q dance for Easter Monday. This
appealed 10 quite few and no doubt
the next meeting will be called upon to
take definite action in this matter.
Every where, especially turnout the
state. the people are taking the keenest
interest in our coming celebration.
Joseph Epple says that we would be
surprised to know how much and how
favorably the matter is being dis
cussed and that without exception
former New Ulmites hope that We
combine with the celebration genuine
old-time home coming. Alfred Bein-
horn of Winons writes among other
things: "Am also glad to see you
spitate "A Home Coming With so
many of New Ulm's children away
