Mrs. J. A. Hyde, 214 Fessenden Street
woolen mill management for
their kindness in tendering the
use oi tne club house, which wns
heartily concured in by tho entire
assemblage, then told of tho ob
ject of the meeting, which was
for the purpose of forming an
organization and thus making
concerted action possible toward
securing tho things noadod in
this community to place it on a
par with what. somo other parts
J
ot tho city havo been receiving,
He then callod on Prof. Fletcher,
who told of tho real need of a
now high school buildinc in St.
Johns; that present facilities
wcro entirely too inadequate to
no lull justice to this section.
He believed concerted action
would do much toward securing
it.
Dr. Borden urged tho necessity
of good, big playgrounds, equip
ped with swimming tank and
community house. He believed.
ho said, thnt playgrounds mid
hcathful recreation were tho
greatest determents from crime,
that if tho younger monibers of
tho community had such nlaco to
Bponu thoir spare lime tho com
munity would bo vastly tho bet
ter for it. Sergeant Crano.
who proved to bo an after dinner
speaker as well as a vocalist,
told of his coming to St. Johns.
of tho better service ho hoped
to help usher in for tho St.
Johns district, that ho was vitally
interested in tho progress and
well boing of St. Johns und
would do all in his power to
ndvanco its welfare Ho said
St. Johns was undoubtedly des
tined to become a big place, that
playgrounds keep many boys
out of jail, and ho advocated
concerted action in securing
those thinus thut St. Johns
still stands in need of.
T. J. Monahan made a few
interesting remarks concerning
the long ago. when Messrs.
Thompson and Powers camo to
St. Johns in 1002 seeking a site
for the woolon mill after fire
had destroyed tho Sellwood mill:
told how somo of the citizens
had stormod and criticised when
Mr. Monnhnn, then a membor of
tho first fat. Johns city council,
proposed vacating part of the
street for the erection of the
mill, oven though the street was
of no benefit to tho city. He
told what n Godaond tho woolen
mills had later proven to bo to
this community. He also told
of tho mistake niado by the
