Mike Shuester and companions on
their homeward journey from Winni-

down on the Jefferson Highway last
week and due to the long distance
between any farmers along the road
they had to spend, the night ON the
ridge till day break, when they were
able to get someone to take them to
this town. 1t is hoped that for the
best of the travelling public, that some
changes will be made so that the route
of said road could be changed so as
to come thru Newfolden and Strand
quist and again get onto the Jefferson
Highway few miles west of this
town. By this change the traveller will
be near telephone service and other ac-
commodations.
