Discuss Great Men
Born in February

"A most interesting table topics
session provided thought and en-
tertainment at the Tuesday meet
ing of the Sidney Toastmasters
club. POSTMASTER, DR.. c. o. Wat
kins, introduced table topics mas
ter, DR.. Earl Nelson, who divided
the subjects for table topics into
two groups. The first group in
volved famous men born in Feb
ruary. Members participating in
this subject were asked to state
their reasons why the man who
was the subject of their topic
should have his bust in the hall
of fame. Members in the second
group attempted to answer a va
riety of questions children are
likely to ask, e.. G., "Why does a
dog wag his tail when he's happy
when a cat Wags her tail when
she's angry" Critic and gramar-
ian for the table topics were
Ralph Osborn and Dan Price re-
spectively.
The two featured spakers of the
evening were Chuck Coleman and
Oscar Halverson (third and first
speeches), who chose the subjects
can Immortal Friendship" and
"The Better HALF" Coleman spoke
of the friendship of Peter Tchai-
kovSky and Madam Won Meek and
pointed out how his music played
a part in this friendship. He stated
that this was not a friendship of
reality and correlated the intan-
gible aspects of this relationship
with Emerson's philosophy. Hal

humorously centered around a re-
sumo of his life. He related ex-
periences as a radio engineer.
Much of his work during the past
ten years has been in helping to
make KICK the voice of this sec
ton of Montana and North Da-
kota.
POSTMASTER DR.. Watkins called
on general evaluator Howard He
bert, who gave a general criticism
of the meeting following the
individual speech critics, Syl
Braatin and Wayne Cumming.
Under the direction of Bob Ham
mer, president, plans were made
to hold a speech limitation ses-
sion at the next meeting for the
purpose of selecting the delegate
and alternate who will represent
Sidney Toastmasters at the an
nual speech competition meet in
