Catholic Order of Foresters: The
Minneapolis G.. o. F.. Joint Committee
met Tuesday evening, December a.,
with the Nicollet Court, 18th Av. N.
and Lyndale, to inaugurate their Sec
ond Joint Membership drive. The at
tendance was by far the largest of any
meeting held heretofore, and judging
from the enthusiasm displayed, the
success of the drive is assured. The
drive will again be engineered by
Chairman Edward McGill, who so sue
cessfully piloted the campaign year
ago. A determined effort will be made
by the committee to surpass the num-
Der attained a year ago, when over 800
candidates were initiated jointly by
Minneapolis and st. Paul courts. The
next meeting of the committee will be
with st. Anthony court, 7th Av. N. E.
and University.
All members belonging to the order
at present are requested to get busy
at once and secure their applicant, as
each member of the order will be call
ed upon to turn in to his respective
court at least one application.

Church Of St. Anthony: During the
campaign for the sale of Christmas
seals, issued by the association of the
Holy Childhood, the children of ST.
Anthony's School sold more than fifty
thousand seals. This netted the cause
Of the propagation of the faith more
than five hundred dollars. In the
grade division the third grade sold the
largest number of seals, while the
third year high school pupils led the
higher classes. The pastor is Rev.
E. J. Wilbee.
Church Of st. Bridget: At the regu-
lar monthly meeting of the Holy Name
Society of st. Bridget's Church very
important discussion took place re-
garding the recent increase of crime.
All were agreed that wave of crime
is now sweeping over this country
and we should act promptly and effect
lively to safeguard Catholic youth.
Many took part in the discussion. No
one claimed to be able to point with
certainty to the chief cause or causes
1t was, however, evident that some of
the speakers had given deep thought
to the causes now operating to lead
boys and young men from the right
path, and some progress was made in
regard to deciding on measures to be
employed in checking this lamentable
increase in wrong-doing. A recon-
mendation that a Big Brothers move
ment be started in St. Bridget's parish
was most favorably received. At once
| action was taken and a special COM
| mittee of Holy Name Society men
formed to meet during this week and
lay the proper foundation for a per.
manent and effective organization
The spiritual director, Rev. James
Donahoe, pointed out that efforts
made by only one parish to reduce
crime and safeguard the unwary would
not produce the desired results-that
every Holy Name Society in the city
/ of Minneapolis should in time get be
hind this movement. The st. Bird
| gets parish committee, of which
James A. Kacher is chairman, will
willingly unite with Holy Name mer
in other parts of this city, and gladly
cooperate with any group that wishes
to take counsel with them or seel
their help in organizing the Big Broth
er movement.
