The Red Cross, the Mother of

drive for members.
Approaching the service rem
dered by the Red Cross to the
American boys serving in the
World War the Women's Auxil-
larry of Robert Swift Post has
taken over the plan to raise Sank
Centres apportionment. The Aux
iiary is one of the city's most ac-
tive organizations doing effective
community work over a period of
years. Sank Centre has always
rallied to the Red Cross support
and the Herald is certain they will
continue to do SO.
1t will be recalled that two
years or SO ago by the use of the
money raised by the citizens OF
Stearns county Miss Burke was
appointed county Red Gross nurse.
This movement is entirely separat-
ed from the Child Welfare work,
of which Mrs. Moynihan, of this
city, is executive secretary. The
Welfare work is paid entirely by

100 to Northern Woods
All Return Safely and Bring Back
Many Deer-Jas. Jenkins, 81,
Shoots Big Buck

The deer hunting season has
come to a close and Sank Centre
hunters have returned to th-->
homes, several of them with fine
specimens of deer. 1t is estimated
that approximately 100 licenses
were issued this year to Sank Cen
tire hunters, ranging from novices
to veterans, young and old. James
jenkins, the veteran of them all
took out his license this year at
the age of 81 and brought back
as his prize a fine buck weighing
in the neighborhood of 200 pounds.
Beginners luck was in evidence
this season as many nimrods, who
were exposing themselves to the
north woods for the first time met
with overwhelming success, while
others, whose trek has been to
Minnesota's wilds for the past de-
cade, failed.
Among Sank Centre hunters,
whom the Herald has interviewed
upon their return are Fred Unger
bringing back 245 pound buck;
Allen Meigs, 210 pound buck; VIII
liam Stadtherr, 1876 pound doe;
Alex Benson, Willis Benson, Rus

Snow Problem Hard for
Community Club to Solve
Not Sufficient Funds in Sight to
Warrant Purchasing of Plow
Boy Scouts

The snow pillow problem was the
main object of discussion at the
regular meeting of the Sank Gem
tire Community Club Thursday eve
ming of last week. Chairman II.
w. Bishop, of the finance com
mittee reported that the funds for
the purchase of the pillow and its
operation were not coming in as
rapidly as hoped for. At this
writing it is still IA question wheth-
er enough money will be raised to
go ahead with the venture.
Clyde A. Thomas made a very
interesting talk for the Boy Scout
movement, explaining that since
organization Sank Centre had not
contributed anything to support
the district area with headquarters.
The district has purchased a suit
able camp site on the lake shore
near Avon, and the members have
a fine summer outing of whole
some recreation before them at a
small cost. He outlined a plan to
raise Sank Centres quota by those
interested in the Scouts which
would be a success. This plan will
be fully covered in the Herald as
it is developed.
Victor T.. Conklin, chairman of
the Christmas Seal drive for this
section, explained how the funds
were used to stay the spread of
tuberculosis. Twenty years ago
Minnesota lead in tuberculosis pa
tients. Because of the Christmas
seal movement it has dropped to
sixth place. Sank Centre has al
ways contributed its quota to this
work and no doubt will do so again
this year.
