LIONS LUNCHEON DRAWS
CROWD OF FoRTY-ssx

The weekly luncheon of the Lions
Club Wednesday evening drew one of
the largest crowds which has ever At
tended this newly organized body.
Visitors were present from both Grand
junction and Montrose. President
Moore presided.
Lion Schermerhorn of Montrose said
he felt honored to speak to any Lions
Club as he felt the Lions purpose
was to cultivate a deeper fraternal
spirit among its members; that the
Lions looked to better things in life:
that the average man is too quick to
criticise, and how often an unkind
word was spoken when kind word
could just as well be said. He urged
the clubs to visit each other often and
extend cordial welcome to come 70
Montrose at any time. He said we
are all interdependent upon each
other.
Cub "Pondy' Pond accompanied the
Montrose visitors. Pond said he was
merely acting as chauffeur and had
brought along Schermerhorn to do the
talking
Cub Adams of Montrose and Grand
Junction paid high compliment to
the Community Rooms. He said
neither of the towns to our right or
left had anything like it. Cubs MD
Ter. Welch. Schmid and President
Smith were called upon and urgently
requested all Lions to visit Grand
Junction often
Professor Deck. principal of the
Junior High. was the good fellowship
chairman. and he presided in his usual
always right at home manner" The
program was that of Education"
Professor Foster gave a splendid
talk upon the aims OF education. He
said the purpose of education is to
teach people to do better the desir-
able things which they are going to
do any way, and to instill in them
higher ideals. Acquiring tools neces-
sary for earning a livelihood: funda-
mental processes OF arithmetic: mas
terry of native speech: writing. He
urged that the ideal citizen will keep
himself physically fit, and see that
his leisure hours are spent with profit
to himself and without injury to his
fellow men.
Cub Deck gave an interesting paper
on the boy problem. He urged that
parents or employers set right ideals
OF honesty before the youth by them
selves living and acting honestly. He
also urged members to be true-true
to themselves and to their fellowmen.
thus following one of the great prfn-
ciples laid down by the Lions Club
Cub Mathers held the attention Of
all with we'll thought out paper
along the line of education and busi-
ness. He declared that learning and
knowing men is an education in itself
He urged that in advertising, mer-
chants hit the keynote by Offering
of human interest. and not
waste time, space and money by pub
ishing useless advertisements.
He said,that consistent advertising
