CAPITAL CITY BITS
By Katy Gotzmeister

were at the Columbus Junior
Saxon Picnic last Sunday, Aug
10Th. The few that were there
really enjoyed it, especially the
Country store with some OF those
hard to get items, mainly soap,
Paul Martin Scha,Dle was the
holder OF the lucky ticket for the
$500. There were plenty of eats
and drinks, enough for everyone,
games for young and old. Yes
folks, if YOU were not there, you
missed a good time.
Cooperation
There have been G;ile a num-
Der Of times that have been
tempted 10 write the following
but | have debated with myself
whether to 90 or no.. but here
goes it tbs time. You can keep
things to yourself Sc long a time,
but the sooner you get it off your
chest, the better you ieel.
Corporation! Do you know
what it means? The act of work
ing jointly together. Very little of
this is done by most OF us. Last
Sunday there were very few at
the juniors picnic. but the few
that we're there were practically
the same ones that turn out fer
affairs iOr both Seniors and Irs.
There are surely more Saxors III
the CITY OF Columbus than 40,
but where are they: That 5 d
question which comes up quite
often. I'm referring t., both. Sen
iors and Juniors. Oh yes, all we
need 10 do is have az, affair where
everything is on the house. My,
what large crowd turns out.
It's pretty bad when even our
own Juniors can't find time to at
tend their own affair. That's why
we have our regular monthly BY
| Siness meetings. to express our
| selves. t someone wants some
| special affair and Won don't, why
not say so, instead OF sitting bach
not saving word. letting the
| others take for granted that yOl
are for it and will hep. then not
showing up and Leaving the WORK
| for the same few all the time Yes
folks. it is very provoking to
have this happen time and time
again. But coming down in brass
! tacks. there really isn'i any en-
cuse for it. 1t happens both in
the Senior and Junior Lodge, and
even in Jther cite, besides our
own. Why rot CONE down oil
YOUR hiyh horse and be one OF
the fellow Saxons that YOU used
to be: Remember. Col created us
all and ;,lere isn't any one of us
better than the other
Those Seniors who were pre-
sent at the picnic Sunday. prop
ABLY noticed few Juniors there
| " ell truthfully folks, that's a
bout all there is 10 our JUNIOR
Saxon Tub any more. Oh yes,
there are MANY more who could
belong. but think themselves a
f, little too good to mi> with us,
Perhaps. il we had little more
cooperation from the parents
our club would really he what II
should be. Just remember, 1t just
takes a little cooperation from
each and every one ct YOU. SIN
| cerely hope that what nave just
said viii: be taken 20 heart by
those WHO have been neglect,n2
the SaNons.
We am celebrated the ending
of the war, both il, Europe and
Japan. 1t was a long hard strug-
Ole. but not nearl lv as difficult Tor
us as it was ior Our boys and girls
over there. We can all be thank
| full that It is over and we are Oh
the victorious side. But we stilI
have arcriicr job on our hands
to build the Colr:nbus SaNons
both Seniors and jun,crs to what
thev should be. Let's Ill get busy
TODAY and start on this important
lob. We won't have much time
