Men's Club:

The October meeting of the Men's Club in the Congregational church Monday night was a most interesting one. It was "Men's Club Night," and the program was made up of remarks by members and a discussion of future work. The president, Warren H. Hobbs, presided. David Hamilton, an ex-president of the club, was first called upon for remarks. He set the ball rolling by a general outline of the Club's opportunities. About twenty members followed with remarks all suggesting ways by which the influence of the Club can be felt in the community. George W. Shilbrook suggested that an entertainment of some sort be given as a means of raising money. The same idea was seconded by other speakers, including Oliver W. Hobbs, M. W. Dunbar, Warren Clark and others, and before the meeting was over, definite action was taken, and it was voted to present a mock trial in the near future, and a committee composed of George W. Shilbrook, Warren Clark and M. W. Dunbar was chosen to have charge of the arrangements.

H. L. Moore, Supt. of Schools, spoke most interestingly, principally upon two points -- moving pictures in the school building and development of a municipal park from the land in the rear of the school building. W. Scott Noyes favored the idea of having an entertainment to raise money in the treasury for use in the purchases of gifts for sick members. Ernest G. Cole strongly seconded Mr. Moore in the park project, as did Rev. Bernard Christopher, who went a little farther and advocated the erection of a gymnasium as one feature of the project. Rev. R. S. Barker thought we should have a definite object in view, and see that it is accomplished. He also spoke in favor of securing Prof. Dauber of Boston University for the next meeting, and it was voted that the committee in charge of the November meeting ask the assistance of Mr. Barker in securing Prof. Dauber. Warren Clark started a bit of propaganda for better national defence, and then seconded the movement for a public entertainment, and on his motion it was voted that the first $100 accruing to the Club be laid aside and at the proper time be devoted to the use of developing the park. William T. Ross, John H. Elliot, Edward J. Brown, Mr. Coombs, and other members spoke briefly. The President then called upon Dr. Arthur Ward, a visitor, for remarks, and the doctor responded with a suggestion that the Club use its influence in behalf of the young men of the town. Later on the doctor was voted a member of the Club.

A light supper closed the evening's entertainment.

The committee in charge was Oliver W. Hobbs, Warren Clark, William T. Ross, Roscoe Palmer.

The next meeting will be "Lecture Night," on Nov. 19. The committee in charge is Warren H. Hobbs, John H. Elliot, William Cash, Harold Noyes, Richard B. Shelton, William Stevens.
