BRUNO GRANGE NEWS

Last Thursday evening the Bruno
Subordinate Grange number 754 saw
another of its victory programs mate
rialize. We had our Booster night, an
"all-out" evening in every way. The
events started with the opening of
the meeting after which the master
turned the evening over to the lee
turer. There followed an entertain
ing, as well as educational, program;
beginning with talk by County
Agent Clyde P. Shumway. Then Mrs.
Corners of the Windemere Subordi-
nate Grange honored us with a few
accordion selections, after which Mrs.
c. 0. Billman told of the success (??)
of dumb Dora at Cooking School,.
Whole-hearted community spirit ap-
peared when all took part in the
grand march.
A welcome and fire prevention
speech was heard from Master Ber-
nard Ahlm. Edna Wernowsky told
about our next scrap drive, and in
formed us of the Feed Store (Bruno)
as collection depot, with John Wahl-
strom in charge of the weighing and
paying. Let's see now if we can make
it even larger scrap drive than the
last one, and really show our boys
we are backing them and helping de-
liver to them the things they need
so much. Next was the community
salute to our fighting men which was
the singing of "America" Mrs. Peters
presented very true reading about
buying war bonds and Lester Dracy
proved that teamwork was essential
by the reading he gave. The climax
of the evening was our war bond
and stamp sale. Postmistress Laying,
assisted by Peggy Billman, presided
in the bond booth - and conducted
the sale, during which time the audi
ence visited, played cards, and had
general good time. The final bond
and stamp sale announcement of
So, 1553.80 made everyone exuberant-
ly happy, and we went to lunch feel
ing very gay, indeed. Isn't that grand
and wonderful amount? We sort of
showed the Axis what we would like
to do, didn't we? True-hearted Amer
ican spirit - that's what it is, and
the Grange expresses its appreciation
to all who helped make this evening
the huge success it was.
On Tuesday night, October S, al
group of members attended the Win
demere Subordinate Grange Booster
night, and all reported an exciting
evening. These Booster nights are
just what the name implies, and
everyone realizes the Grange is
something very worthwhile to boost
along.
Our next meeting will be Wednes-
day, October 13, at the Bruno school,

We are going to have a silver march
to help the expenses of sending

AN IMPORTANT ISSUE

By far the most important issue
before the American people is the
foreign policy to be adopted after
this war is won. Those who would
hopelessly involve us have suffered
their first setback when the U. s..
Senate wisely decided not to accept
the Fulbright resolution. Our con-
gresham, in one of his recent let
ters, pointed out that we should wait
until after our Servicemen return
after the war is over and give them
a voice in the matter. Of course
those who want to ram their program
down the American throat know that
they would be lost if the present
servicemen are given chance. They
will probably have enough of for
eign adventures after winning this
war.
Generally, we can become Santa
Claus to everybody and all the in
efficient and poverty stricken foreign
nations, dissipating our production
trying to rehabilitate them, or we
can do business, cash on the barrel
head, with any lawful nation, wish
ing them all well and setting a good
example.
Due to Farmer-Labor education
and that of other liberal movements
the American people now know that
there is no real reason to 60 without
the necessities of life, if we produce
plenty. Those who do not believe
this can always say, if we adopt a
foolish foreign policy, "the reason
you cannot have all these things is
that we have to help foreign nations"
Want is usually the result of in
activity and ignorance. Hard times
don't just happen, due to an act of
providence, they are man made. For
instance, in the old days in Russia,
famine in certain sections happened
quite often due to drought. The old
priests used to pray for rain, but
when the communists took over they
irrigated and won out over the
priests = who prayed for rain. 1t
is interesting to compare France,
Italy and Germany with Russia as
of today. providence helps those
who help themselves"

not removed. He recovered, lived
actively for another seven years, and
died with "the bullet in my chest"

Character and Influence.
Once his course was chosen he
hewed down the line and let the
chips fall where they may, win or
lose. He did not vote two ways on
the same legislation within few days
as do some modern politicians with
their ears to the ground, trembling
| for fear they may not be reelected
Nor did he use such practice as vot-
ing one way in committee and an
other way on the floor of the House.
or Senate.
Roosevelt was not the sure-win-
ming type of politician always sparring
for position. He had vision and cou-
rage. He could change his mind but
it was not vote-seeking or boss-rule
that brought it about
That public office is a public
trust, was well exemplified by
Col. Roosevelt. The inspiring
leadership of this human dynamo
Is needed today as always.
Of the character and influence of
Theodore Roosevelt the Encyclopae-
dea Britannica states: 1T can be said
of Washington that he founded the
American nation, and of Lincoln that
he preserved it; it can be said of
Roosevelt that he revitalized it.
Twice, at critical times, through his
vision, his ardor, his effective anger,
his faith in American institutions and
his peculiar understanding of all sec
tions of the American people, he
cleansed the body of the nation of
treacherous poisons, and set its soul
to work on labors higher than the
acquisition of physical comforts. He
dreamed nobly for his country and
impelled millions of his countrymen
to dream nobly. He was the most
versatile man who has ever been

The shooting had taken place in
front of the old Gilpatrick hotel, only
a few blocks from the auditorium.
The crowd was milling around his
automobile shouting: "Hurrah for
Teddy! Our cowboy! We want Roose-
welt! Bully for Teddy" AS usual he
threw all precautions to the winds,

police was on the scene Immediately
and got the man to the central police
station without further trouble
though thousands of people were

effect that the man had been taken

was kept in the Central police sta

was no further violence. The police

many years, handled the situation
well.

was that Schrank frowned on a third

The needy will not be forgotten

help with the party.
The council will arrange trans
portation for the children at |

A tour of the station will come
first. Then the children will be
taken to the post theater where
three or four reels of Walt Dizney
cartoons will be shown. After thas
will come a Christmas tree with
Santa Claus on hand to present
each child with a gift. In addition
each child will be given some money
with which to purchase gifts for
the rest of the family. Special

A railroad is a complicated or

Our concept of what happens is
that Keller's office has to send

requests for ties. Then the section
foremen have to send word up the
line that there are ties to fill re.
quests.
Then Keller's office has to make
a date for you to pick up the ties
