——–

The seventieth anniversary of the coming of the first settlers to New Ulm will be celebrated by the Junior Pioneers at Turner hall next Tuesday. The announcement states that the event will be of more significance than usual and that a large attendance is expected. It is planned to serve the banquet at 6:30 o’clock.

These annual gatherings have always been very pleasant and entertaining and the committee, consisting of August C. Dahl, Ad. G. Meile, Ed. Stoll, Mrs. Philip Filzen and Mrs. L.B. Krook, are doing everything in their power to make this year’s affair as pleasant as any heretofore held.

Annual Meeting.

At the close of the banquet the annual meeting of the Junior Pioneers will be held. There are always a number of important matters to be discussed at these meetings.

The invitations, received by the members, state that the permanent records are still incomplete and Fred Geiter will be at the hall the evening of the banquet and assist all those, who have not filled out their Blanks, which have been sent out at different times.

The announcement of the annual affair states further “We have every reason to feel proud of our past achievements. But we should not rest on our past laurels. There is so much that can be done to beautify New Ulm and in other ways to put our beautiful city on the map and we should stand ready and willing at all times to do our share.”

We Suggest Paving.

The Journal suggests that in view of the fact that the Junior Pioneers are anxious to beautify New Ulm and place it on the map that they father a movement for paving. The cost of maintaining the streets of New Ulm under the present method is enormous and could be greatly decreased if they were paved. The Junior Pioneers have accomplished much in the city of New Ulm in the past that can be pointed to with pride, and if a movement for paving should be fathered by them, we are certain that it would be fruitful and would not only add beauty to the city, but would be beneficial in many other ways.
