One nundred twenty-five OF Sank
Centres business and professional
men enjoyed a splendid dinner
served by the ladies of the Good
Samaritan Episcopal church Thurs
day evening, Feb. 8. .'.
The dinner was sponsored by the
Sank Centre Community Club and
was in honor of the 50th anniver-

Der Of the organization and chief

The other living charter mem
bers it is understood are: John Nc

Frank Perry, and T. L. Mccormick.
Preceding the dinner, with Supt.
Kohl at the plano, a number of
group songs made the rafters of
the dining hall ring.
President Roy Scott, Of the Com
munity Club. very ably presided as
POSTMASTER. He first introduced
w. M. Parker who read a poem
graphically describing a recent fire
and presented Chief Fish and the
department with an expensive water
color painting depicting the scene.
This painting was purchased by
the citizens of Sank Centre at a
very great expense.
Chief Fish then read the follow
ing interesting brief history of the
department:
The Sank Centre fire depart
ment was organized in January
1884. It was equipped with two
hose companies, the Acme and
Clipper; hook and ladder
company. A little later a chem
ical was added, all were hand
= drawn. The personnel of the
department consisted of so men,
divided into four companies.
This was the arrangement for
many years. Later hose wag-
on was purchased displacing
the hose carts; the number of
men was then cut to about 80
men.
ABOUT Ave years ago we added
pumper, known as an all
service rig, carrying a booster
tank holding 30 gallons Of wat
er, a chemical tank holding 40
gallons with all necessary hose.
About two years ago the de-
partment bought a new rig,
consisting Of a 500 gallons per
minute pumper, 1000 feet of
hose and all necessary equip
ment.
AT this time the department
was reorganized doing away
with the old companies and
grouping them all in one COM
pany. The officers consist Of
chief, first and second assist
ant chief, and two captains.
The captains are foreman Of
the two bumpers. The chief,
secretary and treasurer are
elected by the department.

Monday in January each year,

in POLITICS

Upholders of things as they are
profess profound fear of radicals"
in power and labor sympathizers in
office. Such poor fellows do not un-
derstand business, they tell us.
1t never dawns upon the tories that
politics are much polluted because of
the business knowledge pervading
them.
Had our politicians and statesmen
known great deal less about busi-
ness and bit more about the needs
and aspirations of human beings, the
world would not be in the woeful mess
it is in today. Civilization has been
brought to the verge of collapse by it's
business men. They could go through
the intricate ritual Of commerce with
calm assurance of high priests per-
forming complex evolutions on their
affairs. They were perfectly acquaint-
ed with the labyrinthian diplomacy
of finance and it's abstruse rules and
regulations. And thus equipped they
ruined nations-plunged them into the
frightfulest war of all time and then
into pit Of depression exceeding the
gloom of Dante's Inferno a thousand
fold
There is growing demand for
statesmen who loath the ways of
business. We want measures that
fiout the tenets of business morally
and sweep off the social scenery the
whole deadly product of business acu-
men.
We want leaders who know just
enough Of what is called "busi-
ness to despise it thoroughly and to
break forever it's malign influence in
human affairs.

not been coming in at that rate. And if

said, "Comew As to children and
| Christians, he said, "Suffer-for-
bid notp AS to children and the
Kingdom. he said, "To such be-
longeth the Kingdom" Who can
without emotion contemplate
what followed? Jesus took the
little ones up in his arms. He
laid his hands tenderly upon
them. He pronounced lovely
benedictions upon them. And
with the climax of this glorious
scene he departed thence"
CONSECRATE THE CHILD
TO CHRIST
a. The all of the Child.
Called to him." Think of Jesus
in the home. Mark his attitude
toward the children. Hear him
call them to his side: Know that
he wants them today. May every
child hear his voice!
(2) The Centrality of the
Child. "Set him in the midst"
Not Peter the host, nor any
guest, and not even Jesus himself
was the center of the group at
that moment - nobody but the
child. And Jesus put him there!
80 The Example of the Child.
Become as little children" Char
acter counts more than crowns
and thrones. Teachableness lies
at the base of character. To be
Christlike we must be childlike.
(4) The Humility of the Child.
Humble himself as this little
child" Humility is the receptive
virtue. 1t looks upward for light
and leading. 1t conditions growth.
1t qualities for service.
(5) The Potentially of the
Child. Greatest in the king
DOM" There is a goal of great
ness. And it is worth striving
for. But the childlike are the
winners. None others need UNI
dertake.
(6) The Reception of the Child.
Receive one SUCH" The physi-
cal child typifies the spiritual
child. Jesus identifies himself
with his followers. Hence care
for the child is care for Christ.
CD The Temptation of the
Child. "Cause-to stumble" Is
there anything more heinous than
to lead astray the young and
weak? We pity the stumblers.
But woe upon their seducers!
(8) The Care of the Child.
Rejoiceth over it." Only one
missing out of a hundred! But
no true shepherd would go to his
couch until the lost had been
found. And what Joy there is
when all are safe in the fold!
co. The Dedication of the
Child. "They were bringing un-
to him little children" Certainly
the little children have their Best
Friend in Jesus. He was the
Babe in Bethlehem before he be-
came the Young Man Of Galilee.
He loved the children and well
coined them. The greatest work
in the worl dis bringing the chill
dren to him.

WASHINGTON, Apr. 5.-This
smiling two-term governor of
Utah has a great deal to do be-
sides direct the army and plan
against future wars, though his
first Job beyond the actual cabi-
net post is that of chairman of
the Council of National Defense.
Secretary Dern rose through
the mining and smelling business
to the U. S. senate and the gov
ernorship of his state He is CO.
inventor of an ore-smelting de-
vice, and prepped unconsciously
for his present job by membership
in his states council of defense
during the World war.
But Dern's job involves great
deal of "big business" administra-
ton as we'll as tending a war ma
chine. He supervises the Inland
Waterways Corporation, which
co ordinates and operates or
leases 10000 miles of inland
W dISI u
Dern is president of the Ma
tional Forest Reservation commits
sion, which buys and manages
cut-over or denuded lands, to reg
ulate stream flow or promote TIM
Der growth. He is responsible not
only for the defense, but for the
operation, of the Panama Canal.
He directs the corps of engi-
neers in the Improvement of wa
terways and making of power and
construction surveys in the Unit
ed States, Alaska, Hawaii and
Puerto Rico, and also has certain
power over the civil affairs of the
Philippines and Puerto Rico.
Much of the job of reorganiz-
ing the airmail recently fell to
him as responsible head of the
army air corps. =,
When the enormous relief
works, organization of the Civil
liam Conservation Corps and the
Civil Works Administration came
along, all details of recruiting,
feeding, housing and organizing
these millions of men fell on
Dern's department.
Between these essentially civ
ilian activities and the actual
army, Dern has supervision over
the buying of vast bulk of sup
plies for all these agencies, and
the surveying and organization of
industry for possible war.
The conduct of West Point and
the Army War College are his re-
sponsibility, as we'll as that of the
new Army Industrial College.
Dern, who is 81, has five chill
dren, including a charming daugh-
ter who has just made her debut.
