WILL CHOOSE ONE HUNDRED
WORKERS TO MAKE ALL
ARRANGEMENTS.

At meeting of the executive com
mittee of the Junior Pioneers held last
Tuesday evening the first steps were
taken toward the Goth Anniversary
celebration for August next year, when
a resolution was adopted directing the
chairman to appoint committee OF
| five to select a committee of one
hundred citizens to take charge of the
planning and arranging of this cale-
bratlon. AS such committee of five
the chairman appointed the following
DR.. ]. P. Graft, Adolph G. Meile, Otto
Oswald, George Marti and Alfred j.
Vogel.
Fifty members of the committee
selected by the five will be Junior
Pioneers and the other fifty will be
selected from the citizenry in general.
If the plans discussed are carried out
next years celebration will be the
biggest affair that this city has ever
seen.
Funds For Children.
Another matter that received the
attention of the executive committee
was the s3,000,000 drive which is now
on for the relief of the starving children
in Central Europe. This fund is to
be raised among the German speaking
people of this country and the COM
mittee felt that New Ulm should CON
tribute its share toward this fund and
the chairman was instructed to ap-
point committee of seven to make the
necessary arrangements for a drive
which is to cover the entire city. AS
such a committee the following were
appointed: Athanas Henle, Anton
Leibold, Carl Crone ST., Adolph A.
Alvin, Mrs. F. H. Retzlaf, Mrs. B.
Follmann and Miss Emma Gebser.
The committee on the August, 1920,
celebration submitted its final report
showing a balance of $3.50 which was
turned into the treasury and the re-
port filed.
RAG NeS SulaClOnSs
1t has been customary to float the
flag at half-mast whenever a Pioneer
or Junior Pioneer dies. This has been
inadvertently overlooked at different
times and to prevent such a thing
happening again in the future, Vice
Pres. ]. III. Weddendorf was appointed
fagman and it will be his duty to see
that the flag is floated at. haf-mast
whenever death occurs in the member
ship of the Junior Pioneers. When
ever Pioneer or Junior Pioneer dies,
Mr.. Weddendorf should be notified
so that he can give the necessary orders
to have the flag raised. @
Mrs. Herman Schemann who was
reelected as a member of the executive
committee rendered her resignation
which was accepted. In her place
Mrs. Ernst WichersH was selected.
It was also decided to have ad-
dressograph stencils of the names of all
members Of the organization, and Their
addresses, prepared so as to escape
the task of writing the names on en-.
velopes whenever the mem bership is
to be circularized. "A special effort is
to be made within the next few months
/ to secure additional members. 4
there should be any Junior Pioneers
i who have not as yet become members
and are desirous of joining they shoule
[speak to any member Of the executive
committee and the matter can be ar
ranged.

lelecting the same officers that served
