| X. of C. Notes: Admiral Benson's
presence in Minneapolis was easily
the most outstanding accomplishment
of the knights Of Columbus in Mime
apolis and the greatest contribution
| toward impressing upon those outside,
| better than logic or argument could,
| the patriotism of our people. Admiral
Benson's visit is but the first STEP The
officers feel that on each similar cele-
bration some outstanding Catholic
layman, national figure, should be
brought to Minneapolis and if that
4 ic 80
Columbus will have accomplished
much for the advancement of better
understanding among the people of
this community The following letter
to the Grand knight from Admiral
Benson commenting on the proposal
will be of general interest:
November Is, 1922.
