Thirty-one of the boys and girls
of the Sank Centre community or
ganized themselves into a Boys
and Girls All Club at an enthus-
iastic meeting held at the Com
munity Club rooms Saturday af-
ternoon.
President J. B. Schoenhoff, of
the Agricultural Society of Stearns
county, called the gathering to
order. The meeting was then turn
over to Vice President B. H. Otte
who then introduced Charles Lien,
a farmer residing near ST. Cloud
who has taken an active part in en-
couraging the Boys and Girls Club
work of Eastern Stearns for sew
eral years.
Mr.. Lien explained the objects
of the All Club movement in
language the young people could
understand, complimenting the
young people upon the enthusiasm
shown.
The speaker said there should be
at least five in each project car
ried on by the club and that the
parents must cooperate.
The Boys and Girls Clubs are
not all work. Mr.. Lien said that
in his section of the county the
members did not have the fine
facilities for meeting afforded by
the Community Club rooms, of
this city. He suggested that the
Club members could enjoy a picnic
following the county fair, and was
sure that some business man in
Sank Centre would donate five gal
Ions of ice cream to the Club hav-
ing the largest exhibit at the Coun-
ty Fair. The Herald editor in
formed Mr.. Lien that this paper
would be glad to supply five gal
Ions of De-Lisho ice cream to the
club having the largest exhibit. His
announcement was greeted with
splendid applause by the young
people.
All members of the Club must
exhibit their projects at the 1929
Stearns County fair. The winners
at the County Fair will be sent to
the State Fair. The winners at
the State Fair will later be sent to
the International Live Stock Show
held in Chicago in November.
1t is just possible that some of
the members may have difficulty in
financing their projects. 1t is un-
derstood that the Sank Centre
banks have signified willingness to
advance the money, where the
home conditions are favorable and
the father signing a note with
Club member. After the animal
is developed and sold the note will
be taken up and the balance will,
of course, belong to the boy or
girl.
All animals entered in the work
must be entered in the name of
the boy or girl and not by the
father. The youngster must own
the animal. Incidentally a child
can carry more than one project
if he or she so elects.
Good animals only should be
entered as the boy or girl will be
carrying heavy handicap in try
ing to make prize-winner out of
a scrub. 1t is understood that
purebreds will be entered in one
class and grades in another.
Roman Botz, secretary of the
Club operating a few years ago,
was selected as temporary secre-
tary.
Clifford Domke and Norman
Iwinski nominated for President.
The vote gave Donnke 20, Iwinski
10, and one scattering. Clifford
made a nice little speech on ac-
cepting the office promising his
best efforts to make the Club
success.
