The members of Sank Centre
Community Club, Scout officials
and few of the Boy Scouts were
guests of Robert Swift Post Amer
lean Legion Tuesday evening.
A sumptuous dinner was served
at seven o'clock by the ladies Of
the Auxiliary, to which by the way,
the business men and Boy Scouts,
as we'll as the Legionaires, did
ample justice. The repast consist
ed of turkey and all the trimmings,
and was splendid meal from the
start to the smokes. Special music
by the Mite Owl orchestra was en-
joyed.
After the inner man had been
stated Arthur Weisner, commander
of the Legion, in few well chosen
words gave an idea of the program
to follow and as the first speaker
introduced Rev. Jewell. His talk
was about the Boy Scout organi-
cation and its accomplishments.
He said in effect that it instilled
confidence and responsibility in
boys and gave them an education
they could get nowhere else. He
spoke of the over-indulgence of
fathers and mothers, which depriv-
ed boys of the responsibilities and
thereby kept the lad from gaining
confidence in himself He closed
his talk with a plea to those pres
ent to give their wholehearted sup
port to the Boy Scout units Of
this city.
DR.. ]. A. Dubois followed as
the next speaker and he included
in his talk that greatest of all
questions, a lasting peace for the
entire world. He said that in the
turmoil of today it was almost inn
possible to state how this could be
brought about, but that the Lee
gion, powerful force of young
men, could if led right, help solve
this most burning problem of vital
!, interest to everyone. His remarks
were timely, to the point and were
enjoyed by all, even though some
may disagree with him.
Roy Scott, Scout Master Of one
of the local units, gave an interest
ing discourse on the financial needs
of the local organization. He stat
ed that $3.50 must be raised for the
camp fund, so that local Scouts
would be entitled to the benefits
granted to others. Up to the
present time the St. Cloud council
has paid for Sank Centre. To
raise this money a tag day will be
held sometime in February, and
Mr.. Scott solicited the aid of ey-
eryone in this worthy project
Sank Centre has two Scout units.
and although Scout work here is
up to the very best standards of
other places, yet there are some
tmngs which have not been taken
care OF in the past. This is due to
lack OF interest, or rather of proper
education of the outsider. who
knows nothing of the wonderful
work being accomplished.
Commander Weisner in his re-
marks, stated that the local Legion
post had included a new band
sUand in the city park as one of its
projects for 1929. This is a
worthy undertaking and should al
SO meet with the approval of the
entire community.
After the conclusion of the
talks, the Boy Scouts were given :
cnance to do their stuff, and MANY

tation thereof. This consisted af
