The Community club met at the schoolhouse last Thursday evening. Before the business meeting the members were treated to a band concert by the local school band under the direction of Wendel Tjon. The following selections were given: "America", "The Iron Sixth", a march by Geo. Douglas; "The Empire Builder Overture" by A. C. Liscombe; "Moonlight Memories", a waltz by A. C. Liscombe; "Havana", a Cuban serenade by Harold Bennet; "Pine and Palm", march by A. C. Liscombe; and "The Star Spangled Banner"

There are 40 students now in the band and this week there will be another 10 added. The school and community are very proud of them and enjoy hearing them play.

After the concert the club members adjourned to a class room and held its business meeting. Mrs. Otto Reuer, president, called the meeting to order. Mrs. Milton Price, secretary, gave her report, as did Mrs. Goring, treasurer. Both were accepted. Mrs. Fred LaPlante gave her report on the sale of the Christmas Seal which amounted to $86.35.

The committee for the Red Cross benefit food sale is very grateful to all who helped make their sale a success. When the people from the country give their support, it greatly aids with the worthwhile work.
