Club LUNCHEON
MONDAY SUCCESS
COMMUNITY PLAN RECEIVES
HEARTY ENDORSEMENT OF
LOCAL BUSINESS MEN
LIVE TOPICS ARE DISCUSSED
INFORMAL GATHERINGS WILL
BE PERMANENT AT REGU-
LAR INTERVALS

When SO of Sank Centres business
and professional men sat down to an
elaborate midday dinner at the
Palmer House Monday of this week
more good fellowship and. sound
sense were uncorked than at any
gathering for long time.
All of which augurs well for the
development of the city. This was
the first of what more than likely
will be series of business mems
luncheons or dinners. The idea was
suggested by George Bergman at a
meeting Of the directors of the Com
mercial Club few days ago.
The primary object of having the
first dinner Monday was to meet and
listen to Frank Wilson, community
advisor of the University of Mime
sofa, who was to speak at the Junior
High school auditorium in the even
ing.
The dinner was splendid success
from every angle save that Mr..
Wilson was not present. He was UNI
avoidably detained by the burning of
of railroad bridge between Albany
and Avon.
The committee in charge of the
dinner was George Borgmann, Ed.
Hansen and ]. B. Schoenhoff, with
the hearty cooperation of Manager
Geo. Tanner auf the Palmer House,
demonstrated that they knew how to
prepare most satisfying meal,
One of the pleasant features of the
dinner was the goodfellowship. Even
competitors sat side by side and en-
joyed each others company, demon
strating that ones neighbor is not
such a bad fellow if one comes to
know him.
There is a general awakening
among the citizens of Sank Centre
to the need of concerted effort for
community development. The COM
munity does not mean that tract Of
ground within the bounds of the cof-
porate limits of the city but rather
as Mr.. Wilson expressed it at the
evening meeting: "a community is,
collection of homes bound together
by ties of common interest" Ac-
cording to Mr.. Wilson in Sank Centre
this should mean at least radius of
ten miles in every direction from the
city.
Following the dinner President
Parker of the Commercial Club,
started the ball rolling by explaining
the object of the. dinner and stating
that everyone present was expected
to say something about matters
which he believed to be of vital inn
portance in the upbuilding of the
community.
Mayor A. L. Ingram. as the first
speaker commended the idea which
brought the gathering into being
and stated that he was mighty proud
to live in a community which could
bring out as representative gather
ing on an occasion of this character.
DR.. J. F. Dubois stated that Sank
Centre had been placed on the map
in a nation wide way in at least two
instances. He referred in most
complimentary manner to Sinclair

put before the readers of the Herald
some OF the letters lately received ty
| our Board of Education. All of these
letters, coming as they do from hui
manitarian workers with national
and even world regulations, should
be spread before the public. Let me
say in all fairness upon closing ,pon
what | have felt myself driven to
say, that these opinions expressed by
these prominent personages, have
some Of them been requested and
some of them have come through no
suggestion whatever, the writer be-
ing wholly unaware that there was
any disposition to question the cred
liable work done formerly by our To-
cal board of education.
| Excerpts of some of the letters
received by the Board of Education
are reproduced herewith, and worthy
OF calm and careful perusal:
This from National Committee ON
Prison Labor.
Board of Education,
Sank Centre, Minnesota.
Dear Sirs:
The committee on the care and
framing of delinquent Women and
Girls OF the National Committee on
PRISONS and Prison labor, has been
making a nation wide survey of the
work that is being done to help the
women and girls who become inmates
OF correctional institutions.
We have learned with the greatest
interest of the remarkable co-opera-
ton which is being afforded to the
Home School for Girls by the Sank
Centre Board of Education in per
uniting the girls to attend the Public
Schools at Sank Centre. This is such
an advanced step that when we met
in conference in Washington last De-
cember, we specially commended this
accomplishment.
We are now sending out Minimum
Standards to all the different states
urging that similar work be done to
connect the community with the in
situations located near by.
We are taking this opportunity of
expressing to the Board of Education
and citizens of Sank Centre our ap-
probation of the splendid contribu-
ton they are making towards the
solution of the very difficult pro-
blen. 1t is not merely that the girls
from the Home School in Minnesota
are getting the benefit of community
life but that splendid example has
been set which will mean that similar
opportunities will be afforded to the
girls in institutions in every state of
the Union. We are reporting the
story of the good work at Sank Cen
tire far and wide and hope that it
may continue and increase in use
fulness as the years go on.
Hoping that we may be kept in
close touch with the further develop
ment of your community work, am,
Sincerely yours,

DIR. Dubois Statement
he Editor of the Herald:

To the Editor of the Herald:
Il am writing these sentences with
a great desire that the voters of
Sank Centre shall realize the import
ance of the vote they cast at the
somewhat irregular election called by
the school board for the coming Sat
urday. Although it is nothing in
reality but straw vote, still this
sudden demand for a public expires
sion upon momentous question, if
it results as the instigators of the
movement believe it will, bodies no
good for Sank Centre. They mean to
take quick advantage of a propa-
ganda which for months has been in
dustriously circulated, but which bore
upon the face of it such evidence of
the rankest prejudice as ought alone
to have damned it, and as conse-
quence has not been opposed. If
they succeed a club will be put in
the hands of every enemy of the best
interests of Sank Centre.
sDo the people understand the sit
uation? l fear not; nor is there any
time before this unusual and hastily
sprung election to give it the public
consideration such an important mat
ter certainly deserves, and usually
receives. Nor can here, limited as
/ am for space, do more than refer in
the briefest manner possible to GER
tain features.
"At critical moment for Sank
Centre-the moment when our hopes
of building up an industrial commun-
ity met with bitter disappointment
Minnesota located a great institution
in our midst. Speaking from ma
terial point, it was the only
thing that prevented US from slipping
down to- second fiddle in the COMPETE
tive rivalry with adjacent commune
ties. But much more that that has
happened. In connection with this IN
stitution, through the putting out of
a helping hand by former wide-vis-
Toned Sank Centre Board of Educa-
ton to selected group of disadvant--
aged girls, our city has become allied
with other forces in great social
movement and it is just now coming
into nationwide recognition as pio-
neer municipality in such progressive
movement. Sank Centre has indeed
gone on the map. Doesn't that fact
Warrant justifable sense of .'ride
on the part of every citizen?
What can say then of this at
tempt to pull us down from that
creditable place. O, one class of men
build and another class can Destroy,
and the latter course seems to re-
quire much less effort. When we re-
cali how a short time ago our beanti-
full little city park created by so
much labor and expense, was about
to be desecrated by the erection
thereon Of a privately owned dance
hall, without apparent opposition, we
perhaps begin to realize that eternal
vigilance is the price we have To pay |
for the preservation of public advant-
ages.
"Now Sank Centre can arise to an
of the highly lenvi;.ble
position she has so recently tanned,
Or she can pull herself down from
that position. She can even become

former townsboy, Sinclair Lewis, and

IDLE MILLION MENACE AND PROBLEM TO BRITAIN,
SPEND MILLIONS BUT SOLUTION NOT IN SIGHT

LONDON, March --tAustin
West, U. =. Staff Correspondent y
According to figures issued by the
ministry of labor today there are L.
143,3 registered unemployed in Brit
ain--and they are still climbing.
The unemployed barometer has ta-
ken several big jumps during the last
months. At the middle of October the
number of men and women registered
at the employment exchanges was
$4,000; by the middle Of November
it was 473,OO0; by the middle of De-
cember $4,000; by the middle Of
January $4,000, and now they are
well over the million mark.
These figures do not take into ac-
count the thousands Of unemployed
who have not registered at the govern
ment bureau. If these were included,
1t is estimated that the number would
be swelled to a million and quarter.
Nor are they inclusive Of the people
working on systematic short time. es-
tlmated at 100000. The latter are
chiefly made up Of cotton operatives
and government employees at dock
yards, etc.
Optimistic officials Of the ministry
OF labor believe the peak has been
reached. but the labor members OF
parliament lean to the belief that the
situation will be decidedly worse be-
fore the turn is reached. Realizing
this the government is graphing with
the problem with the primary object
Of stemnjng the tide.

these facts the $4,000 ex-service men
are forced to remain idle.

has been to regard every trade as u

ket TO force up wages by means Of

days Of work were lost owing to
strikes.
The labor party so far has failed TO
suggest cure for unemployment.

is up to the government to devise
means for maintenance or work, and
that some steps should be taken to re-
store international trade.

SO far the government has been
chiefly concerned in efforts to absorb
tens of thousands Of ex-service men
into the industrial fabric By propa-
ganda and appeals to employers. The
unexpected avalanche Of unemploy-
ment of all classes. however, has made
it imperative to create state-aided
schemes. These were explained by
the minister of labor, DR.. MacNamara.
According to MacNamara. at least
10, ,000 men have been found employ
ment on public works, The expendi-
lures authorized for these schemes is
practically 100000 900.
In addition to that, and in the di-
rection OF mitigating hardship, an
amendment to the Unemployment In
surance Act has added 100000 to the
4, ,000. 900 persons insured. A further
extension of the out of work granted,
involving an additional expenditure Of

armistice, y20e. 900 600 to ex-seryice
men. and $4,000. 900 out-of-work
donation for civilians during the first
year after the armistice.
One Of the chief bones of contention
between the government and the
trades unions is the persistent refusal
of the builders to permit dilution of
skilled labor BY employment of un-
skilled ex-servicemen. There is not an
unemployed bricklayer in the country
and work could Immediately be found
