Swimming Pool, Boy Scout

Troop and Drum Corps Arouse

Interest.

At the meeting of the Ben J.

Seifert Post of the American Legion

held at the Armory Monday

evening action in several different

lines was taken by the members.

The swimming pool was a live issue

and took up a good deal of time. T.

O. Streissguth reported that he had

communicated with an engineer

in Michigan who assures the Post

that he can build a swimming pool

along the lines of the pool as originally

proposed by the Post for a sum

which will not exceed $20,000. Mr.

Streissguth, Jos. Epple and Alfred

Wiedemann were appointed as a

committee to secure local costs, including

material and labor, and send

them to the Engineer who will then

submit a plan with the total cost.

This information will be given out

at the next regular meeting.

Organize Boy Scout Troop

R. J. Stewart was appointed a

committee of one to organize a Boy

Scout Troop. This has been one of

the aims of the Post for many months

past and it is one in which the interest

of the residents of this city should

be aroused. A girl scout organization

has been functioning here for several

years past and is a great success. The

boys of the city will be glad to know

that at last they will have the opportunity

of taking part in the work of

the boy scout troops. Mr. Stewart

will have a complete report to submit

at the next meeting of the Post.

Will Have Drum Corps

The Ben J. Seifert Post of the

American Legion will have a Drum

Corps to accompany them on their

trips to conventions in the future and

it will also take part in activities of

the Post. Dan Griffith, Harry Brand

and Ervin Schrader were named as a

committee to get busy on the organization

of the corps.

At the next regular meeting the

officers for the ensuing year will be

elected. Legion members are urged

to be present to assist with this work.

Represented At Omaha

J. F. Teichrow, named as one of

the four district delegates to the National

Legion Convention to be held

in Omaha October 4 to 10, will leave

New Ulm Saturday evening in company

with Harry Lang for the Convention

City going by car. Elmer

Held, who will also attend the Convention,

will make the trip by train.
