Program Presented.

The Birch Creek Community club
held its meeting at the Maple Grove
schoolhouse July 8. The following

famous men," Earl Grover; song,

drey Carlson; reading, "Upbuilding,"
Margaret Hillbrand; song, my Old
Kentucky Home" mems quartet;
recitation, "Daddy's HAIR" Audrey
Carlson; song, "Over the Summer
Sea-" Charlotte and Marian Amund-
son.
The guest speaker was Rev. J. A.
Dahlstrand and his subject was en-
dependence" In his speech he said,
1.-THE men who fought for our indie
pendence had an ideal in view-free-
dom to worship God as they pleased,
voice in government. They lived such
unselfish lives that they were willing
to give their lives for this ideal.
Prosperity has spoiled the people of
this generation and made them greedy
and selfish. Many people do not
want to work for their living. We
may have to fight for an ideal again
in order to become unselfish. We
should have Jesus Christ as our ideal
and initiate Him in loving our fell
lowmen and living unselfish lives"
The following members were ap-
pointed to purchase a piano for the
club: Mae Upgren, Leonard Goran-
son and Mrs. Dick Rye. The follow
