Robert Krahn won second place in the public speaking contest at Burlington. Community Service We carried our pest control plan for the second year. The number of rats, mice, sparrows, and crows destroyed exceeded our record of last year. Our members also exhibited at the county fairs. Membership To get all members of the Chapter more interested in the activities we carrry on, a point sys- tem has been started this year to give credit to each member who takes an active part in any of the activities. Recreation The Chapter held its third annual Hard Times dancing party. During the summer ,we took two trips. We saw a ball game at Chicago and later in the summer we attended the Wisconsin Centennial Exposition at Milwaukee. Earnings and Savings This year we carried on several activities to help build up our treasury. We sold coffee and hot dogs at the football games, took orders for field seeds for a local dealer, had charge of the coke machine, and sold garden seeds. Page Twenty-sei en
