The Lutheran Brotherhood
Father-Son banquet proved a
big success Wednesday even-
ing, and it’s certain that the
Brotherhood will stage anoth-
er such banquet before many
months have passed. Father-
Son banquets are worth-
while entertainments for any
organization and should be
encouraged. Organizations will
find that such banquets not
only encourage a boy to fol-
low in his father’s footsteps,
but create a closer feeling of
comradeship between Father
and Son.

Walter Boehl didn’t ap-
prove our giving Hallettsville
Legionaires credit for putting
so much pep in the Legion
banquet held during the
week and so we will “swallow”
our own words. Legionaires in
m charge of the banquet really
went to a lot of work to put
it over, and of course, they
iiave the credit coming. Din- member.
