Grad at the Billman home Sunday aft
ernoon for a picnic sponsored by the
All Club.
After the dinner hour there was a
short program when Harry Osterkamp
welcomed the guests and stated that
his club would appreciate any inter-
est they might show in the club dur
ing the coming year and thanked
them for coming. He also thanked
Mr.. Billman for donating the nectar
and Art Markus for donating the cof-
fee Both donations were voluntary.
The Club then led groups in sing
ing friendship songs. Miss Hecker
gave a short talk in which she eX-
planned what the All Clubs strive
to do-the individual tries to carry
out his or her project so that he or
she may raise better garden, bet
ter pig or make a better cake or
bread.
The groups as a group strive for
better homes, finer family relation
ships and better communities. Mrs.
Billman, leader of the group, thanked
Miss Hecker for her help to the club
the past year. Thanks are also due
Mrs. Billman for the interest shown
in the children, one and all, for it
means better boys and girls.
The groups gave the Club a big
hand and many expressed the hope
that this would become an annual
affair. It was remarkable how very
well this group of boys and girls
from nine to Is years Of age managed
and planned this picnic. They were
fine hosts and hostesses and the guests
want them to accept their apprecia-
ton of their many courtesies.
The community should be very
proud to have a All club and give
what assistance it can to help the boys
and girls in the good work.
