Commercial Club Works
on Community Betterment

A special meeting of the CONNER
cial Club was called for and held on
Friday of last week. At that time
several very important matters re-
garding Sank Centre community were
brought up and launched.
The meeting was we'll attended and
the first proposition placed before
those present was regarding the
booking of Alexander Karr, man of
nationwide reputation as COM
munity builder. Mr.. Karr mas mes
sage that everyone in the entire
community should hear. Means OF
bringing this about Were discussed
and the opinion of the gathering was
that big two day Community Sale
would probably be the best way to
draw people. of the community for
miles around and offer them an OPP
portunity to hear Mr.. Karr and avail
themselves of special bargains offer
ed by the various stores. A commit
tee, consisting of Ed. Hansen, Frank
Myott and l.. w. Gingcry was named
to interview every merchant and IN
duce him to put up special bargains
for the two days, which fall on Fri
day and Saturday, June 10 and IL.
Mr.. Karr will speak Friday evening
in the Junior high school auditorium,
at which time he will outline plans
that have been carried out success
fully in over 400 communities where
he has had experience in promoting
the welfare of the locality as whole.
Mr.. Karr is not the kind of speaker
who tries to awe his audience with a
flow of tiowery language, but he gets
right down to facts and tells
them in way that we all under
stand and enjoy. The second night,
or Saturday, June 18th, Mr.. Karr will
deliver what he styles his numerous
lecture. This, alone, is worth coming
miles to hear. The writer has heard
Mr.. Karr, and considers him one of
the best he has ever heard, certainly
the best in his particular line of
boosting good-fellowship and mutual
service.
1t is also probable that Mr.. Kari
will speak on the streets It Sank
Centre on Friday Afternoon and hold
a meeting of the local business men
Saturday afternoon.
Everyone in the community is urg-
ed to do everything possible to make
this two-day Community Meeting a
big success. Other communities are
building themselves up by these me-
thods and Sank Centre can do what
others are doing and we believe we
can do it better. Whether you live in
Sank Centre or in the country sur
rounding it, this community pro.
position is for your benefit because il
is for the benefit of the locality as
whole. No one person or set OF
persons can do as much to build UP
our locality as we can if we all work
together, so Let's all boost for these
first Community Days" and have
them at frequent intervals in the flu
ture. The get-together idea will be
good for all of us if properly entered
into.
Dan Weigle, secretary of the St
Paul Association of Commerce ano
Business Affairs, who spoke at st
Cloud last Tuesday, has been induced
to visit Sank Centre and will address
g. community meeting at the Junior
high school auditorium some time
after June 16 as the gentleman is
booked solid to that date.
The meeting at st. Cloud was at.
tended by members of the st. Clouc

of the Sank Centre and Sank Rapids
Commercial Clubs as their guests
The Commercial Club of Sank Centre

munity as whole and so have ar.
