At a meeting of the directors of
the Sank Centre Community Club
Monday evening, it was decided to
serve a dinner to members only,
Thursday evening, March 9th at
TOO P. M. This dinner will be served
by one of the churches and there will
be a charge of Soc per plate. II. A.
Falk has been appointed as toastmast-
er for this event and in conjunction
with the entertainment committee will
arrange his own program.
Special invitations will be extended
to F. P. Minette and George Minette,
to attend the banquet as guests OF
the club in recognition of the fame
they have brought to Sank Centre by
developing the champion Brown
Swiss cow.
twas also unanimously and en-
Enthusiastically voted to invite mem
bers of Sank Centres high school
basket ball team to be guests of the
club at this dinner as slight appre-
citation of the high class craftsmanship
shown by the team as a whole during
the season just closed, and the splen-
did record they made.
w. B. Morgan explained the Boy
Scout movement in detail. He stated
the main idea of the movement is to
organize group of boys-very real
boys-to work together on real pro-
gram, trying to become men. Mr..
Morgan said that the Boy Scout move
ment was nothing more or less than a
real outdoor school. Thirty-two
Sank Centre boys have already passed
the examination and there are 80
other applications waiting to be
acted upon. If the 60 boys now seek
ing admission pass the necessary ex-
animation, it will take three scout
masters to handle them The move
ment was enthusiastically sponsored
by the Community Club. w. B.
Morgan was named as the first Scout
Master, and was instructed to apply
to the State Department for chart
er.
1t was also decided to inaugurate
a series of sales days in Sank Centre,
the details to be developed.
Secretary V. T. Conklin reported
that every dollar of Indebtedness in
connection with the rebuilding and
furnishing of the Community Club
rooms had been paid and that with
one or two exceptions all current
bills were paid. The payment of these
bills slightly overdrew the budget
fund. Mayor William Parker, chair
man of the entertainment committee,
reported that he had about $4,000
in his possession. At the beginning
of the year $625.00 was set aside for
the budget upon which to operate the
Club during 1924. Up to date
$192. 90 has been expended for op-
Grating expenses. On motion, Mr..
Parker was directed to turn over to
the budget fund of the Club, the
S318.93 which will leave the budget
fund about $4,000 short. The COM
mittee in charge of. special entertain
ments, composed of VIM. Parker,
Chairman; J. B. Schoenhoff, Sig
Holme, and Asa M. Wallace, have
guaranteed that the 500. 90 or so,
necessary to bring the budget fund
up to the amount appropriated in
January, will be raised by this COM
mittee before it is needed.
Mr.. Parker had proposition from
the Brunswick Bake Company to
furnish billiard and pool tables for
the club rooms. These tables were
standard size and will be thoroughly
re-fnished and supplied with new
cushions and cloths, and entirely new
equipment. Mr.. Parker was instruct
ed to close the deal with the Bruins
wick people for billiard and pool
table, and to pay cash at a cost of
approximately $500. This leaves
500 in the special fund for freight,
installation, and needed chairs and
other furniture in the billiard and
pool department of the club.
When the Herald editor came to
Sank Centre ten years ago, the mat
ter of installing a billiard and pool
table in the Commercial Club rooms
was discussed at the first meeting of
the club that he attended. Many
times hope has been abandoned that
this would be accomplished, but
through the activities of Mr.. Parker's
committee, and the cooperation of
the general public in attending the
entertainment provided, the result
has been accomplished. Of course
the use of these tables will be abso-
lutely limited to the club members.
There seems to be quite general
demand that the very successful min
strel show staged by the Community
Club a couple of weeks ago, be re-
peated in the near future. This mat
ter is largely in the hands of the
personnel of the organization. Mr..
Parker will call those taking part In
the minstrel show together within a
few days, but the Herall is confident
that the request of the public will be
complied with, and the show will be
probably the Tuesday eve
ming following Easter, april ~.
However, this is not definite an
that the minstrel show
will be repeated.
When one considers that, less than
q year ago the Sank Centre CONNER
cial Club was decidedly down and
