So many of our people prefer that
the local happenings be left untold so
that the writer. for the sake of peace
and good will throughout the commun-
ity in general and among us Dutchmen
especially, has found it necessary to
Withdraw from the staff OF regular
contributors to these columns. We
will all take another good look at the
short editorial that appeared under
this heading several weeks ago and
bid each other a hearty good bye.
The basket social given last Friday
evening in Alban, district No. 5, With
Miss Belle De Greet as teacher was
an entire success. The sale of bas-
kets Melted the pretty sum of $3.50
which was sent to the children's home
at Sioux Falls. At the beginning of
the interesting program printed below
it was promised that we would see
"What tiny tots, if they will try, can
do,'' and it did not take them long to
show that they meant to fulfill their
promise. A good deal of talent was
displayed also in the presentation of
their parts by the older pupils.
