held at the club rooms Thursday eve
ming of last week, was furnished by
the ladies of the Methodist church.
1t was most satisfying meal, very
well served. About $50 sat down,
made up of members of the organiza-
ton; their ladies, and visitors from
Melrose and st. Cloud.
Those in attendance from Melrose
were: Mr.. and Mrs. Norbert Borge-
ding, Mr.. and Mrs. Carl Carlson,
Mr.. and Mrs. Zuercher. The st.
Cloud delegation were headed by
Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Lee, the former
being secretary of the Civic organi-
cation of the Granite City, and G..
Oliver Riggs, director of the boys
band of St. Cloud, composed of $50,
being the largest boys band in the
United States.
At each one of these dinners local
men have proved happy surprise
whether they were designated as
toastmasters or to speak from any
given subject. DR.. A. F. Moynihan
was assigned the toastmaster's job at
Thursday evenings function, and
maintained the high standard in this
difficult job set by his predecessors.
The first speaker introduced, was
Mrs. Helen Ingram who recalled that
thirty years ago she attended a ban
! quet in the room now occupied by the
Community Club. She said that while
the women of Sank Centre were will
ing to have their men folks attend
the Community Club, the ladies of
today were fully as capable of giving
advice now as they were in the Pill
grim days when the community spirit
was first developed, the underlying
principle of which was melting out Of
little kindnesses, one to another.
Mrs. Ingram said that she was con-
vinced that the Sank Centre club was
organized in that same spirit, and
hoped that the club would prosper.
She also expressed hope that the la
dies would not be left out of the club,
but would be allowed to come in once
in while because she believed that
their advice today would be fully as
valuable as it was in the Pilgrim
times.
The next speaker introduced was
Norbert Borgeding, president of the
Melrose Community Club. In his re-
marks Mr.. Borgeding told how Mel
rose had driven the bread wagon out
of Melrose by the merchants of that
city handling nothing but bakery
goods manufactured by local bakers.
He said with the reverses Melrose had
suffered during the past year, the
citizens of that city realized that ii
was absolutely necessary for the
businessmen to stand back of each
other in order to succeed. The re-
suits brought about by backing up the
local bakeries in their city was most
gratifying.
Mr.. Zuercher,, the next speaker,
stated that he was pleased to be
present on this occasion and appre-
ciated the cordiallity of the Sank
Centre Club, and hoped that the
friendly feeling which existed be-
tween Sank Centre and Melrose,
would continue.
Carl Carlson, editor of the Mel
rose Beacon and President of the
Northern Minnesota Editorial Associ-
alton, expressed amazement at the
manner in which the Sank Centre cit
liens had developed the Community
Club idea. He said that the people
of Melrose, more than ever appre-
ciated their home enterprises and that
they were taking public pride in them.
He urged the citizens of Sank Centre
to promote loyalty to home in
situations and that the plan be en-
Enthusiastically backed by the Commune
ity Club. - I
Fank Lee, formerly Of Sank Centre,
but now of st, Cloud, congratulated
the citizens on the splendid success
that they had made Of the Conmnn-
