Aims of New Organization
Outlined; Hallowe'en
Ball Follows
About 200 persons, including
High Twelve club members, t'neir
wives and friends assembled as the
new American Legion home on
Sixth street at 7 o'clock last night
for the charter night presentation
and ball of Borger's new club.
In the absence of Dr. A. J. Caid-
*•<•11, the presentation speech was
tn&de by A. J. Fogaley and the'
charter was accepted by Phil Spidy,
president of the local club. Musical
selections interspersed the program
which was concluded with short
talks from C. R. Stahl and .1. D.
Miller and the Hallowe'en ball.
In' accepting the charter Mr. Spi-
dy spoke of the responsibility of the
local club in upholding the ideals
of the national organization in ren-
dering unselfish service in this com-
munity. He briefly outlined the
alms of High Twelve and asked the
Citizens of Horger to assist the club!
if the work which is being under- j
taken.

Jfevelopment and assistance for I
boy! and girls were Ited hs majm 1
problems which ihe High Twelve j
member.; will undertake here by
('resident Spidy. He said he be-j
lieved there were too many homes i
where mothers played at bridge in- j
stead of with their children and in i
many instances ihe unfortunate des-;
linles of young men and women j
tvert* caused by irresponsible par- j
tills. This. Mr. Spidy said, can be:
<,.Qrcou'.i' by a stricter observance;
(ii the religious atmosphere of the!
lidme of a half a century ago. Re-
gardless of what religion, every
bojne should include its Influence
"for through the home we must
solve the problems of Ihe coming
generation."
Mr. Fogaley, toast master, gave a
toast to women visitors in his ad-
dress of greeting in behalf of the
club. After a series of stories and
Jokcu. he paid high tribute to the
women guests and said that nothing;
was being spared to entertain all
I bo so who iiad come to shire in the
celebration of High Twelve
Presents Charter.
In announcing the speaker for
th presentation of the charter who
would substitute for Dr. Caldwell,
tbe toastmaster cleverly outlined
Ihe attributes of who was about to
b«. called upon He spoke at length
on the qualifications of the speaker
and then took his seat without giv-
ing the man's name As the ban-
queters were wondering if the toast-
master had forgotten lo reveal the
identity of the speaker, Fogaley
arose and started his presentation
speech. He Mas the speaker.
The toastmaster, changing his
voice, went through the routine de-
tails of a well known speaker from
snoiher section of the country. He
commended Borger on her remark-
able growth and declared thai her
