Mr. Dean Jiachim was next on the agenda to explain the Kinsman program. He noted the following: 1. The program began in Circle Pines a year ago; meetings are held at Our Saviour's Luthern Church. 2. It is part of a national program to bring adults and children who usually have onlu 1 parent together. The children in the program are from 8 to 17 years of age. Some senior high students are involved and may be paired with younger children 8 to 10 years old. 3. The local group has 15 boys and girls involved; 2 of the adult Kinsmen are from Lino Lakes. Anyone interested can contact him. Mrs. Swanson asked if this program is similar to the Big Brother group.
