RECORD OF CLUB
WORK OF COUNTY

The final reports of the Boys and
Girls Club members of Boundary
county have been received and tabu-
lated, states Enoch Torpen, county
club leader. Although the great edu-
cational value of club work and the
interest which it creates cannot be
estimated in dollars and cents, one OF
the measures of success to members
themselves is whether or not they have
been able to make profit on their
enterprise. The fact that many OF the
gardens were small does not detract
in the least from it's value to the club
member 1t does, however, detract
from the financial results.
Following is Mr.. Torpen's report OF
the work of the various clubs for the
past season:
