Dear Brother Knights:-- The 29th of March is the birthday of our great and beloved order, the Knights of Columbus. It is the day of days in our Golden Anniversary year and should be fittingly observed by the membership of McHenry Council 1288- It marks an event glorious in the annals of Catholic action; it is Knighthood's fiftieth birthday for the continent of North America. f To make certain its proper and successful observance, arrangements are now being made by the committee in charge for a banquet to be held in Justen's hotel on Tuesday evening, March 29, at 6:30 o'clock. Following the banquet the Knights and ladies will adjourn to the K. C. hall to listen to the program which will be broadcast over the National chain. This [ program is to be sponsored by th«* Supreme Council of the K. of C's". In order to wind up the evening in-the Efroper way, their wtiU he 'several? hours of dancing for all who care tb dance. ' I ask in particular for the older members to participate in this celebration. I further desire to have former members of McHenry Council reinstate their membership" so thnt they rtiay have a part in our anniversary banquet. I invite, also, the eligible men outside of our order to thoroughly investigate the system of the K. of C. insurance; sign an application for membership, be initiated and share in our work and pleasure. Knowing that the future of Columbianism rests upon the Knights of today, the officers and members are especially active in promoting a Golden Anniversary class. Therefore, I am asking, as a special favor, for thirty applications for membership which is our quota for this year. On you, my-Brother Knights of McHenry Council. I depend fully for cooperation and I am confident that you will join whole-heartedly >with the committee in charge and make a complete success of our Golden Anniversary celebration.

Many of us may have fallen' far short of this idealism in the past; iy of us may be falling short of it at this moment: but the obligation we each and all assumed on the day of our initiation, is none the less binding, none the less real. A Knight must be exemplary Catholic. If he is not-- he is no asset to this order, and he should never have been permitted to enter it. For Columbianism is an ideal, and a Knight must be content to be judged by tjw manner in which he carries out in hi»'dally life--in his in his office, on the street, the saered precincts of his --The Northern Kaighi. fat a month ago, a member 6i Hennepin-Minneapolis Council, No. 435, requested Financial Secretary Harry J.

MAY ME BUSS, i Big Crowd at Last Meeting « • One of the biggest crowds for a long /time turned out for the "meeting which was held on March 11. After the regular business meeting the brothers were entertained by a quartet contest. The German four sang two numbers in their native tongue and the Irish laddies retaliated with two songs in English. The Irish brothers and all the others who could not understand German were seriously handicapped and at a loss to know what the first quartet was singing. Nevertheless, after due consultation and deliberation, Ithe three judges, Robert Knox, Charles Unti and Simon Stoffel, awarded the prize to the German auartet. Robert Knov spurned to turn traitor to his nationality. Charles Unti was neutral as far as nationalities went, therefore, Simon Stoffel found it an easy task to swing "the vvte "in favor of his nationality. y3S«iy. ' V . ' . . t o v usin * • • M. E.
