AUGUSTA BOYS ORGANIZE
COMMUNITY HELPERS"

STUDY nature, not books" was the
theme of Freeman F. Burr's discourse
to the splendid group of Augusta
boys who met Friday evening at the
Augusta Chamber of Commerce hall.
This meeting was called primarily to
interest boys in the work of the COM
munity with the understanding that
an attempt would be made to form
five troops of Boy Scouts as soon as
enough boys had expressed their Will
ingness to participate in such
movement. The work of the Boy
Scouts will be handled by Frank
Condor, secretary Of the Augusta
Y. NJ. c. A.. who has been working
out plans along the line Of boys work
for some time, and this preliminary
meeting was called in order to point
out to the boys the attractiveness Of
such work.
Taken from the community stand
point it Is essential that every boy
in Augusta get the benefit of parti-
cipation in civic affairs. A club with
out an object is not a club at all,
hence definite projects for the boys
were discussed last evening. Secre-
tary Clarke showed the boys how
they could be of service as official
guides of the Chamber Of Commerce
convention bureau and trip was
agreed upon for today at 9 A. NJ. 70
famliarize the boys with some of the
points of interest about Augusta.
Very few of the boys have ever Wis
tied the industrial plants about the
city, so Secretary Clarke is going
/ to take the members of the club into
one or more such plants each Satur-
| day until the tour of Augusta is
complete.
The boys will also be available for
the work Of the Cleanup committee
| and on Tuesday they will be sent out
| with rakes and baskets to assist In
the cleaning up of unsightly places
about Augusta. They will also DC

Mr.. Hichborn's Address

In speaking of the history of the
Feneral Reserve System. Mr.. HIGH
born stated that it did not have its
genesis in the Congress that gave it
passage. No one man was the father
of the system. 1t is the result of the
study of many minds and various
bills had been introduced looking to
the same purpose. but had not been
adopted. The financial panic of
1907 had aroused everybody to the
fact that one thing was lacking in
, the currency system and that was
elasticity. The speaker then traced
the developments that led up to the
final passage of the bill.
The Federal Reserve Board Is
made up of the comptroller of the
treasury, the secretary of the treas
ury. and five members appointed by
the President, to serve 10 years at a
salary of $4,000 year. The act
provides further for l. regional
banks located at the places in the
country where it seems that the bust
ness interests needs them. These
banks are located at Boston. New
York. Philadelphia. Richmond. Va.)
Atlanta. Dallas, st. Louis Kansas
City. Cleveland, Chicago. Minneapo-
lis and San Francisco. The Federal
reserve banks are privately owned
corporations except that on the
boards of directors three members
are appointed by the Federal Re
serve Board. so that the government
is represented in the management.
In speaking of the technical work
! ings of the system, Mr.. Hichborn
| pointed out that the Federal Reserve
Bank does not do business with any
| individual. It does not make credit
and was not designed to. That cred
| it must be esta blished with the bank
at which person does business. The
! Federal banks do business with
| banks exclusively.
/ Many other interesting features OF
| the system were explained by Mr..
! Hichborn who had made a careful
study and is an authority on the sub
| ject. His mastery address was great
! ly appreciated by all and Mr.. HIGH
born was given rising vote of
| thanks.

portant address accompanied by Ian
tern slides. The fact the Chapter
membership is made up of repre-
sentative men from every business
and professional activity In Augusta
and from various Parishes gives us q
certain claim to the title Of a Com
munity Activity.
AS for our interest in a broader
field. On Oct. IS the President apl
pointed a Committee on Industrial
Harmony. A Committee on Church
Attendance has cooperated with the
National Committee with marked re-
suits. On Mar. II, the Chapter, res
ponded to President Strong's request
with q resolution on the Senate
Treaties to be transmitted to the
Senate members.
AS Parish activity, the Chapter
has not been neglectful of our duty
to the Church and Parish. We have
conducted Church services in All
Souls Church on four Laymen's
Sundays: Nov. 90, Jan. is. Feb. 26,
and Noy. 26. The Church Attend
ance Committee has functioned well,
and the presence of Chapter members
at the Sunday morning services has
been noticeable. In the absence of
the Pastor, certain routine duties in
connection with the Church and Par
ish are being carried on by members
OF the Chapter.
All in all the Chapter has reason
to be proud of this seasons record.
The various Committees in charge
have worked modestly but extremely
well. They have been Handicapped
by the lack of funds in the treasury
which was supplied only on what
could be made out Of the supper fees
This has been remedied by providing
for next season with an annual as
sessment of 800 in addition to the
S1.00 which goes to Headquarters
This will mean much to those who
have in charge the management for
next season.
On February II. Mr.. Phalen was
with us for the last time before leav-
ing for his new Parish in West New
ton. The Chapter presented him
with silver service as a souvenir
by which Mrs. Phalen and himself
should always remember the high re-
gard in which they were held by us
Every member present felt that the
less OF Mr.. Phalen's enthusiasm and
untiring efforts for the Chapter
| would be felt severely. and expressed
this feeling by an unanimous pledge
to carry on after he had zone. Tn
der the stimulous of our President
we have thus far succeeded in full
filling our pledge. The future
growth and prosperity Of All Souls
Chapter depend on every individual
member remembering this pledge to
Mr.. Phalen.
Respectfully submitted,
