Community Club Meeting
Largely Attended
Interesting

Matters Of vital Importance, in
GLIDING conservation, snow pillow
work, advertising and sales days,
were brought before the Commun-
ity club in regular session last
week Thursday evening. The meet
ing was largely attended and was
one of the livest ones held in recent
years..
Walter Gritzmacher, secretary,
gave a report on the Secretary's
convention held in st. Paul recent
ly. He stated that the convention
was interesting and well worth
while, and that in its suggested pro-
gram to the clubs of the state, con-
servation, advertising and solicita-
tions were most prominent. The
use of newspaper and pamphlet ad-
vertising was recommended, the
latter as a means to draw tourists
and vacationists to the state. II
was revealed at the convention that
most towns of the state have SOL
icitation rules, which are strictly
adhered to. In most of these towns
anyone soliciting funds, outside the
churches and the Red Cross, must
have permits.
In the discussion Of snow remov-
al the expressions revealed that all
are in unity in the matter and that
some plan must be worked out to
keep the roads open in the future
Councilman Jos. Miller stated that
the county pillow has been unable
to keep the main roads open, and
that it was slack in helping this
community. He charged politics as
the reason. Mr.. Miller asked the
club to give it's whole-hearted sup.
port to the City Council, and stated
he would do all in his power to see
that the city purchase an up-to-date
snow pillow to be used in connection
with the municipal owned caterpil-
lar tractor. The council members
are investigating various snow
plows, but have not yet decided to
purchase one.
Advertising suggested to the club
included pamphlets, road signs and
a loud speaking system. At the
present time efforts are being made
to get out a pamphlet for the pur-
pose of advertising the vacation
possibilities of this community;
Walt Gritzmacher has met with
the Osakis, Grey Eagle and Mel
rose clubs in an effort to secure
their aid in a cooperative adver-
Using plan, which will attempt to
divert traffic on Highway 81 on up
to Fargo and which will tell Of the
wonderful lakes and vacation
grounds in the communities sur.
rounding these cities and villages
The plan Is receiving splendid CO.
operation.
Expense Of operation of the club
rooms has been a bone Of conten-
ton for some time. In this matter
a plan was suggested that q
commission Of three men be ap-
pointed to take charge of the rooms
and rent it to all organizations, in
Guiding the Community Club. In
this manner it is expected to raise
the funds necessary to operate the
club rooms and lift the burden from
the club. President Unger appoint
ed a committee to investigate the
plan. He also appointed a commit
tee of three for the purpose Of get
ting conventions for the city.
Carl Fischer gave a splendid re-
port on conservation measures and
activities. He stated that the COM
mittee had made an effort to feed
the pheasants in this community
and that the work accomplished
had been very satisfactory. He al.
so stated that pike fry had been
ordered for the lakes in this terri
tory. It was also reported that the
young people engaged in the Ma
tional Youth Administration pro.
gram in this city were building q
number of feeding bins, which will
be used in the feeding of pleas.
ants next winter.
b. F. Dubois reported that work
on State Highway II from Metre
Grove this way will not be com.
menced before six months from
now. Mr.. Dubois received the re-
port from the State Highway De.
partment. This pertains to the mat.
