SCHOOL BOARD met.

The school board held meet
ing Tuesday evening and took up
several matters of interest. The
condition Of the scohols in regard
to fire escapes, etc, was taken up
and it was decided that good
steel fire escape should be built
which would allow pupils from up
per rooms to get out of the build
ing in case of fire without having
to 90 down the main stairway.
In cases of fire the stairway is
usually impossible and the out
side fire escape would give the pu-
pills means of escape. The
board contemplates fitting up a
room on the third floor and if
this is done a fire escape will be
built for this room in addition to
the one for the second floor.

BERTHOLD Was
AN EASY WINNER
BERThOLD BASKETBALL TEAM WERE
EASY WINNERS IN GAME PLAYED
FRIDAY--SC0RE 43 TO 49,

Last Friday night the roller
rink was the scene of perhaps
the fastest basketball game ever
seen in this city, Wien the
Berthold and Williston teams
met. 1t is to be regretted, how
ever, that an equal amount of
fastness was not exhibited on
both sides. Asit was Berthold
rather exceeded the speed limit.
They were so fast you might
have thought they were gong
down hill They simply played
rings around the local boys to
the tune of 43 to Is.
At the beginning of the game
it looked as though it would be
nip and tuck. The first FIVE
minutes of play was about even
up, but it wasn't long before
Berthold had such a lead that
Williston was qualified for the
''also ran" class. The ball
showed a disheartening prefer
ence for the Berthold basket,
and would find it's way in when
ever it got into their vicinity.
The Berthold boys played we'll
together, while the Williston
team displayed a lack of team
work. This is a defect, however,
which practice can overcome, as
the boys showed up well in all
but the team work, and the
huge score piled up by the Ber-
thold team does not indicate
that they are invincible.
A return game at Berthold is
expected in the near future, and
another game with Berthold
here, to wind up the season.
The management was alto
gether pleased at the good turn
out for the game. and wishes to
thank the people tor their in
terest and support.
