W.W.C. Club is formed

From the Pope County Tribune, Thursday, Dec. 11, 1924

What? Where are you going Saturday evening, Dec. 20? Why? To Dist. No. 88, of course! What for? A Christmas Program and Ring Social. Ladies, please bring baskets and a ring fastened to an envelope with your name inside. Who’s coming? Everybody welcome. Teacher, Mae Johnson.

Once a month, the second Tuesday, the Music Club meets, not only to enjoy a classic program, but to cheer its community on its way to what is best in music. Last Tuesday evening, in spite of a cold contracted recently, rang out the clear little tenor voice of Howard Johnson, six-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Oscar Johnson, in the song “Beautiful Savior.” So strenuous was the demand for an encore that he responded by singing his “Indian Song.” The club left in the hands of a committee the choice and placing of a good musical magazine in our public library, where all Glenwood may read and keep in touch with the musical world. A musical contest for all Glenwood to enjoy was discussed and left for final action in the January meeting.

We have extra Christmas tree light bulbs. Bring in your sets and we will test your old bulbs. The Electric Shop, Glenwood.

We wish to thank the B. of R.E. for postponing their dance and turning the hall over to the Fire Dept. for their annual dance on New Year’s Eve. Committee.

With the coming of cold weather, the little fishing huts that dotted Lake Minnewaska last winter are being hauled back to their winter stations again. From now on we can expect to hear about the big ones that get away.

From the Glenwood Herald, Thursday, Dec. 11, 1924

Typical of their unconsciously adopted slogan for the year. “Peace, good will to all,” the Library club met at the home of Mrs. T. Callaghan on Tuesday, Dec. 2, to give their Christmas program, the last of this year. The old year has left them with a steadily increasing membership and prospects of continuing in the new. 

Louis O. Lund died Wednesday morning at 3:30 at his home at Farwell, Minn., after having been confined to bed for two days. In 1905 he entered the Civil Service as mail driver, which position he held until 1909 when he was appointed postmaster at Farwell. This position he held until the time of his death. He was also a clerk on the school board and second vice president of the First National Bank of Farwell.

Six young girls in Glenwood have formed a club with a very high aim. They call it the W.W.C. Club. Their work is somewhat on the secret orders, but it is secret only to their mothers. They get together every Friday evening and sew on Christmas presents for their mothers. Last Friday evening they met at the home of Gladys Halvorson. The next meeting will be held at the home of Hazel Christenson. So far three meetings have been held since the organization of the club. Every member has an office. Eleanor Leach is president, Evelyn Nelson is secretary, Hazel Christenson is vice president, Kathryn Brickson is judge, Inez Voss is treasurer and Gladys Halvorson is suggestor. The Herald knows that the mothers of these girls and many of their friends are going to receive some very fine presents for Christmas.

From the Starbuck Times, Friday, Dec. 12, 1924

Noel Johnson this week bought out the interest of Henry Hanson in the Gorder & Hanson meat market. An inventory was taken Monday evening; Noel started on Tuesday morning. He has many years of experience in the butcher business and is a very energetic, capable and efficient young man, with a large circle of friends and the new firm will undoubtedly enjoy a large patronage. Mr. Hanson, several months ago, rented the Troy restaurant and has been giving his time to the business. John Hoien has taken Mr. Johnson’s place at Aaberg’s shop.

Sunday afternoon at one o’clock the local sportsmen plan to meet with their fowling-pieces for the big annual rabbit hunt. Everyone is invited to bring their gun and join in the hunt. The losing side will furnish a supper to the winners. The plan is to shoot jack-rabbits only this year.

B.O. Kleven, who recently bought one of the livery barns and moved it to his lot on main street, has fixed himself up a nice office in the front part. He has been busy during his leisure time polishing up his furniture. Bennie plans to put in a small stock of farm implements and modern farm equipment, but for the present will only put in his leisure time at his office.
