FINLAYSON CLUB TO
HELP BEAUTIFY THE
SCHOOL GROUNDS

Another successful Community club
meeting was held Tuesday evening in
the Finlayson school house when the
auditorium was filled with patrons
and friends who came to enjoy the
school exhibits in the grade rooms
and to hear the program. The
exhibits were splendid and show
the fine work done by teachers and
pupils where up-to-date methods are
used and an abundance of eQuipmen,
is available.
At the business meeting after
the report by Mr.. johnson of the
project to beautify the school grounds
was given, it was decided to f.
nance the venture, twenty dollars
being voted to pay for shrubs and
also for trip to Meadowlands fol-
blue spruce to be used along the
walk and in the corners, where the
shrubs are to- be laid out in a shield
design. The school board will also
assist with part of the expense. Mu-
sic was supplied by Mrs. Lauretta
Wickstrom and Sabin Larson, and sew
eral community songs were sung and
Mrs. Bergseth and Mrs. Smith played
two duets.
The principal feature of the eve
ning's program was the showing
of motion pictures by William Chal-
leen of Pine City, taken last year
when he and his father visited num-
Der of European countries travelling
in their auto which they drove to New
York City and took with them abroad
The pictures were remarkably clear
and we'll chosen showing scenes in
cities and country side so that one
received a fine idea of the various
countries visited. Mr.. Challeen de-
scribed the pictures as they were
shown. 1t was fine treat and the
audience enjoyed it very much. Early
in the evening as the result of SPELL
down among the eighth graders, Eun-
ice Arth was the winner and will rep
resent Finlayson at the annual Play
Day at Pine City May 16. Lunch was
served in the dining room to large
majority of the crowd, over ten dol

And the kiddies! For what would

Santa. his reindeers and his scarlet

American Legion Notes
SUSSEX POST NO. s

Dear Comrades:
The Yuletide season is here. The
time of year when tinsel and holly
and jingling bells lift us out of our
material selves, waking in us new
impulses to give, to serve-in short,
to spread happiness into every
home, no matter how humble or is
Olated. 1t is the season when our
hearts soften, when we are filled
with the desire to better under
stand our fellow man. 1t is the time
of year when hatred is captured by
love, when grudges are forgotten
