New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1919-10-15
JUNIOR PIONEERS
HAVE GOOD YEAR.
BIG MEMBERSHIPS INCREASE
AND STRONG FINANCIAL
STANDING.
ANNUAL MEETING is HELD AT
TURNER HALL; DEATH
CALLS Z MEMBERS.

Never since the Junior Pioneers were
organized in 1912 have they had so pros
porous a year as the past one. Fin
ancially and in every other way the
Association has made rapid stride for
ward, not only has the cash on hand more
than doubled within the past year but
there is approximately $3.50 which will be
turned over to the treasurer in a short
time, being the surplus from the Home
Coming celebration and the moneys
left over after paying all the expenses
of this years banquet. That interest
in the Association is on the increase is
best shown by the fact that 81 new
members were taken up since last year
and that the present membership totals
576. All this, cheerful news as com
municated to the Junior Pioneers at
their annual meeting held at Turner
Hall Tuesday evening.
The Finances.
From the report of Mrs. l.. b. Krook,
treasurer, it appears that there was on
hand at the close of the fiscal year 1919
the sum of $770.75. OF this amount
about $500 will be expended for name
plates, thus leaving on hand over $780,
90. The amount on hand at the end of
the fiscal year 1918 was only $247.00.
When it is considered thar during the
year over $4,000 had been expended
for the Volk tablet and for the flag
staff it can be readily seen that finan-
cially the past year has been entirely
satisfactory.
From the report submitted by Carl
P. Manderfeld, treasurer Of the Home
Coming it appear that in all $3,854.51
were received and that $2,948.62 had
been expended and that there was still
in the hands of the treasurer the sum of
$915.89. This does not include the
rental for the arch which matter is still
in dispute and will have to be disposed
of later. It should be mentioned also
that the sum of 1925 was reserved and
is included among the expenses Of 3d.
1852 to pay for the Hofmeister Band
which attended the Home Coming at
Sleepy Eye and also at Springfield as
New Ulm's contribution to these cele-
brations It will be remembered that
when New Ulm had its Home Coming
that Sleepy Eye sent its band and that
Springfield sent its band also and that
there was no charge to the committee
for the same. Under the circumstances
the committee felt that it could do
nothing else but shoulder this expense
and not force the business men to make
up this fund especially as they had SO
literally contributed to the expense
fund collected by the committee. The
committee expressed its regret that it
had been unable to submit detailed
report of the amounts received and
expended for this celebration because
it was impossible to get the bills in
promptly but they promised to have a
detailed report ready within q month
which they will submit and file with the
executive committee, so that anyone
who may be interested can find out
from what sources the money was
received and how it was expended.
Recommendations.
Among the recomme lions sub
nitted by President Steinhauser were
the creating Of two classes Of Junior
Pioneers, those having reached GER
tain age to be known as Senior Junior
Pioneers, and the further recommends
ton that the sons and daughters Of the
Junior Pioneers be encouraged to Or
ganize as Junior Pioneers Juniors OF
such other name as they might see ct
to adopt who could and should assist
in the upbuilding Of the city and in the
many other activities Of the Junior
s Pioneers. These matters were dis
cussed at some length and finally re-
ferred to the executive committee with
the request that they thoroughly examine
into the matter and make such recom-
mendations atlthe next annual meeting
as they thought advisable under the
circumstances.
Debates Arc Heated.
At all times the interest in the pro
ceedings was very keen and at times the
debates became quite exciting Es-
pecia1ly was this the case when the
matter 81 purchasing the socalled Huns
ruecken 81 Camers Back was up for
discussion. This purchase recommended
by the executive committee and It
soon developed that there were quite
number II divergent opinions Some
