NUMBER 19
THE COAIA1UN1TY CLUB
The members of the St. Johns
Community Club had a jolly
ood timu at their semi-monthly
meeting Tuesday evening, which
was held at the Terminal Cafe
teria. Despite the steady down
pour of the elements, a coodly
crowd turned out to enjoy the
occasion. Thomas Autzen, who
is an expert in looking after tho
transportation facilities, lived
up to his reputation, and all who
aasemuied at tho bank corner
were transported to the Termi
nal by auto in admirable style.
Manager Murray and his able
corps of assistants at the Termi
nal Cafeteria, although handi
capped by about a 00 longshore
men dropping in upon them rath
or unexpectedly at five o'clock
for dinner, proved their ubilitv.
capability and the flexibility of
tlioir resources by serving an ap
petizing, satisfying and most
inviting dinner to the hungry
moinoera of the Club and their
friends. Tho Cafeteria is a largo
building and serves its purpose
well, and is most ably managed
by Manager Murray, whoso fine
treatment of the guests was
highly appreciated.
After the nbundant meal had
been placed where it would do
the most good, President Mona
ban culled the meeting to order
for a short business session, and
Secretary Montgomery read the
minutes of tho previous meet
ing. The matter of tho inc r.'as
cd t'olephone rate was discussed
to somo extent, and it was de
cided to favor tho recall of the
Public Utilities Commission.
President Monahan took up
tho matter of tho big 1925 Fair
being located in St. Johns, and
told of the wonderful and splen
didly adapted site there was
hero fur the big event. It was
unanimously decided tint a com
mittee bu appointed to bring tho
merits and advantages of this
location impressively and clear
ly to tho nttcntion of tho nilo
committee, nnd uso all other
means at their command in
bringing tho big ovont to St.
Johns.
It was decided to inaugurate
a vigorous campaign for a Club
membership of ono thousand,
and application enrds wero pass
en to eacu membor with tho sug
gestion that each ono bring in
at least one now membor. Deane
il. Knowles was made chad man
of tho membership committco.
John N. Edlcfsen called atten
tion to several propositions, the
first being that efforts bo exert
ed toward hard surfacing of a
portion at least of Greeley street
tho coming Bummer; that the
school board be commended for
securing as largo a tract as they
did for high school purposes,
and that they bo urged not to
make tho first unit smaller than
win accommodate the presen
i .
nign school enrollment, and
larger if possible: that efforts
be DUt forth in thn wnv of no
curing hard aurfaco streets lead
ing to the new park site. It was
decided that these suggestions
receive proper attention.
Miss Wilma Wagner gave
very pleasing reading that was
highly enjoyed.
I ho meeting was then turned
over to Lieut. Crane, chairman
of the entertainment committee.
and introduced somo stunts that
produced much merriment. Tho
first was a potato race, with
box of potatoes at each end of
the lino. John N. Edlef.
Ben and Thomas autzen were
appointed captains, and they
each selected a crow of six la
dies and gentlemen. Thomas
Autzen's team captured tho
pnzo on a very closo margin
bomo wonderful sprinting was
demonstrated. In a tooth pick
and potato race Miss Clara Nel
son led tho field by a mile,
Oflicor Roberts and P. II. EJIcf.
sen staged a boxing bout that
was a hummer. Each was blind
oidcd and with a rone around
tho waist of each and tied to a
post bo that they wero about
arm's length anart. Tho re
suit was surely amusing. Blind
man's butt was another stunt
that nroduueed a lot of fun.
Oflicor Hatt was presented with
a prize for bravery in bringing
two prominent citizens to tho
meeting charged with being ab
sent for a number of meetings.
After a trial thoy wero fined a
couplo of Bimoleons. Supcrin
tendent G. A. Ross of tho Ter
minal made a few interesting
remarks concerning tho termi-
nal and freight. Ho said the
Dock Commission has 1 GO acres;
that thcro wero fivo piers each
low root long by 220 feet wide.
covering six acres each. Whon
i
mo meeting adjourned ho con
ducted the party through tho
big pier and oxplained tho var
ious doviccs and where tho var-t
ious quantities t)f freight canto
from, and other matters of In
terest. Mr. Ross ia surely the
right man In the right place.

Thero is something the mat
ter with tho man who doesn'
care for the place he lives in
who doosn't come back to it with
some degree of rapture nnd ro
lief. Tho world citizen who
boasts that all places aro aliko
to him, that any place where he
hangs his hat is home, misses
ono of the first nnd strongest in
centives to decency and duty
which is tho desire to win the
general esteem and good opinion
of tho community in which one
dwells. No reward in money
compares in value with tho gold
en treasure of a good repute.
If a man cheats and lies and
steals and bears false witness, he
may buildup a great fortuno and
still bo plagued at night with
tho knowledge that thoso about
him hold a low opinion of his
worth and works. Dr. Elliott.
of Harvard, has told us that it
is the favorable opinion of a
man's homo town that is worth
earning and retaining. One of
tho neighbors might be wrong:
but if wo tako the summation of
what many aro saying, we prob
ably Bhnll arrivo at a just esti
mate. Merely to livo in a place
doesn't mako ono a citizen. Your
heart will bo whero your work
has boon put in to help forward
nny good thing that is going.
Of course, ono must be true to
tho immediate family circlo and
look well to tho roof tree and
tho door yard of one's own
household first of all. But that
intimato indoor devotion com-
mcndablo ns it is, may become
a selfish sentimont that takes no
thought for tho measures of pub
lic welfaro in whose benefit we
all share. Fault finders stand
ready with harsh censure nnd
snap judgment upon what the
toilers aro doing, lite toilers

group of men who love others

civic patriot by doing things
simply for himself. Ho must
serve the public interest, in tho
general good, not his own pock
et: while tho ranee of his own
charity may cover the whole
world, it should, n tho homelv
phrase, "come homo to roost"
in his own town. Philadelphia
Ledger.
A number of localities have
been mentioned ns locations for
tho big 1925 Fair, but St. Johns
s the logicnl locntion. The more
one studies the situation the
more firmly convinced he must
becomo of this patent fact. No
world's Fair in tho past had a
more aomirnblc location than is
afforded on tho Lower Peninsu
a. It is true that at present
trnnsportntion fac tics are in
adequate, but this would be true
of nny other location mentioned
ns a possible site. But this
could readily bo remedied by
extension of car lines nnd exten
sion of hard surface streets.
