BY Frieda Reinnerth.

Farrell, Pa, April 25-The lost
sheep seem to be coming back to
the fold or at least so it seemed at
our last meeting. Exactly 81

more are expected at the next
meeting. Four new members were
added to our record. They are:
Harold Henning. Roy Thut, John
Turk and John Zelch. May you
stand by no matter what the cir
cumstances may be.
The charter is still open, so
stop at nothing to get new faces
into our organization. AS soon as
the mood waters in and around
Masury recede we will be invad-
ing that territory for a couple of
new prospective members. Every
one seems to have the right spi-
rit now.
Attention Members!
Make it your business to see
Anne Bohn, Our hnacial secretary
and pay your T. S. J. A. tax.
The highlights of this hectic
weekend namely Sat. night, our
dance. and Sunday, our visit to
Youngstown, where we certainly
had a swell time, will just about
cover this weeks news cast.
The dance proved very success
full and the Farrell Juniors wish
to thank everyone who helped
them. Chic Farrell, the popular
maestro, made this statement,
when more fun is being had the
Saxons will have it," He then
goes on to say, "My boys and |
have our most pleasant times at
the Farrell Club"
Hats off to the Youngstown
singers! You certainly have a
wonderful chance of going places

all had.

Cleveland, O., April 25-It's
all settled now, there will be a
Track Meet. Although only three
or four clubs plan to run, the
rest of the clubs plan to be on
hand. After all the winning of
medals is of small importance as
compared with the intermingling
that takes place afterwards which
helps the Saxon Youth bind them
selves much closer together. The
date will be published in the next
issue of the Nolksblatt. SO hope
to see you all at the Track Meet.
