PREACHERS IN WRANGLE

There was the usual wrangling
among the apostles of peace when DR..
L. K. Williams, who was appointed BY
the Committee of Arrangements to
head the ministers, was prevented
from attending the conference and an
other leader had to be found. The
preachers decided they would elect a
leader themselves, and then the fun be
gan. The Baptists opposed the Metho-
dists and the Methodists opposed the
Baptists, and the first two ballots were
deadlocked. On the third, however, the
reverend gentlemen compromised on a
Congregationalist and Rev. Burton
was elected to head the ministers.

TALKED TO LI0NS
THURSDAY LAST

On Thursday of last week the
members and guests of the Lions
Club enjoyed an unusually entertain
ing and instructive program in CON
nection with their weekly luncheon.
Through the courtesy of f. p.
Richardson, superintendent of the
Parco refinery, three members of the
Parco Orchestra rendered several ex-
.%ceilent musical numbers during the
course of the luncheon, and the en-
thusiastic ann in which their Sc
lections were received spoke well for
their ability as musicians and enter
tairers.
Following the musical program,
Rotgrian !. w. Dinsmore gave n
splendid talk on the scope and pur-
pose Of civic CLUBS, and the functions
of the recently organized Chamber
of Commerce. Because of his usual
grasp and understanding of the fun
damental principles underlying or
CARNATIONS of this character, the
speaker was enabled, in the few min
utes at his disposal, to convey to his
listeners a clear cut and well defined
conception of the proper activities
and the limitations of each; the point
where the one leaves off and the
other begins.
1t was pointed out that the pri-
mary object of a luncheon club is to
promote fellowship and an unselfish
spirit of service; to bring forth a bet
ter understanding and more congen-
ial relationship between business
men. and to inculcate a higher re-
gard for honesty and fair play.
A chamber of commerce., on the
other hand, proposes not only to I'M
dertake those matters of a civic
character too expensive or involved
to be successfully concluded by a
single luncheon club. but looks into
the larger field of business. seeking
to bring to light the of the
community, and to attract capital
for their development.
Following Mr.. Dinsmore's talk. a
short discussion took place concern
ing the proposed location for the
new high school. but due to lack OF
time it vas necessary to postpone
consideration of this important mat
ter until the following Thursday
when it was indicated the club would
go on record as to the location fay
ored.

American Legion Aux
Hilary Meeting Last
Thursday Afternoon

An important meeting of the
American Legion Auxiliary of Fred
Duncan Post No. 20 met at the home
of MRS. Henry Larsen last Thursday
afternoon and several matters of i'm
portance We're taken up and the
work for the winter was outlined. 4
from the chairman OF the
Sheridan hospital committee was
read. As an appeal from this COM
mittee. it a found that the veter-
ans in the hospital were in need of
several supplies on the order of wash
rags and other articles of like nature
and there was a request for v~ictrola
records which will greatly help to
brighten the lives of the veterans and
give them u bit of amusement. AS
insert it was requested that no
marches be sent. The local Auxiliary
was asked to do their part in supply
ing the needs and the requests of the
disabled veterans.
On October 18th the local AuXil-
larry will ship a box of material to
the Sheridan hospital and everyone
who will contribute to the cause is
asked to take the material to the city
hall before the specified date. The
local Red Cross Chapter has donated
a quantity of yarn left over from the
war activities of the Chapter and the
Legion Auxiliary feels that members
of the city will be more than willing
to answer the appeal and will con
tribute in generous proportion.
