xt,~s~g N ,St,AsE asss xE1g7El skJTE


Camp st. Croix, the Y. M. C. A..
boys camp on the ST. Croix river, at
Prescott Roads, closed it's most sue
cessful season last week, after having
been open since June Is. Besides the
regular boy campers, who numbered
FL, 35 employed boys spent week en- Ia
there and AZ girls from the Y. w. c.
A. used the camp for week.
Two new features this year were
the employed boys camp, held from,
August Is to %, and the high school
boys camp, held from August 25 to
September 6.
Camp st. Croix was enlarged this
year by the erection of two new tent
cottages, but even these proved in
adequate. The camp was filled to ca
pacity virtually all the season. Plans
are under way to further enlarge the
camp next year so that more boys
can be Accommodated.

Miss GunniSon
Chosen As State
Health Instructor

Miss Bessie Gunnison of River Falls
has been selected as one of the mem
bers of Wisconsin's second class of
health instructors and has gone to
Milwaukee to begin her course, which
is conducted by the Wisconsin Anti
tuberculosis association at the Health
Service building, $50 Jefferson street
Miss Gunnison is a graduate of the
River Falls normal school and has
taught in Frederic and Stoughton,
Wis, and in Tougaloo college, Touga-
loo, Mississippi.
The course for health instructors
was introduced by the Wisconsin An
Tuberculosis association last Fall
in an effort to meet the increased de-
mand for trained health workers ard
it met with so much success that it
was decided to continue the work. All
of the graduates of the first class,
which completed it's work last June,
are now holding responsible positions
and most of them had signed their
contracts before the years work was
finished.
Combining didactic instruction with
practical field work with the various
Milwaukee social and health agencies,
the course has proven the idea prepar-
alton for the public health worker in
city and rural communities. Special
recognition was given this new type
of worker by the state legislature
through the passage of measure
which makes it compulsory for every
county in the state to provide for the
employment of public health nurse
or health instructor.

The River Falls normal school foot
ball season opened Tuesday when a.
bout 80 men reported to coaches Hay-
ward and Chandler. The preliminary
practice consisted of drill in the fun
damentals of the game-passing the
ball, falling on the ball, kicking and
work on the tackling dummy. This
was followed by some limbering up
exercises and wind sprints.
The team this year must be develop
ed from new material, as there are
only four letter men back-Niel Smith.
Scott, Chinook, and Lierich. In adj
dition to these men there are, however
several men who have played on Nor
NAL squads and have had other pre-
vlous football experience. Among
these are Ed. Murphy, Truman Lott,
Erwin Davidson, Ted Dodge, Elmer
Bloom, William Quinn, David Lam
son, Austin Dunbar, Earl falkland,
Percy Clapp and Henry Otterson. Sew
eral other good men are expected to
report before the week is over.
The first game for the Red & White
is scheduled for Sept. 9th, with Eau
Claire high school. Last year this
team defeated the Normal 7-6, so the
team is determined to wipe out this
defeat with a victory by a decisive
score. The interest in football is
greater than ever this year and the
student body are expecting to show
all kinds Of pep under the leadership
of Felix Ulrich, the new cheer leader.

THE HOMECOMING
Entire County Turned Out To We'll
Come Home The Service Men

1t is estimated that close to 5000
people gathered at the Fair grounds
IN Ellsworth last Wednesday, Sept.
10, to greet the service men of Pierce
County.
Although misty and threatening in
the morning, the day turned out ideal,
and there was nothing to mar a genu-
Inc enjoyment of the occasion.
River Falls was ''there strong" All
local stores were closed for the en-
tire day. At 8 a. m. the service men
of this city had gathered, together
with Civil War veterans ond others,
at the F. & M. bank corner. Smokes
and melons were distributed to the
boys in khaki and the boys in blue. At
9 o'clock, headed by the band, the
auto parade started from town. Ar
irving in Ellsworth the "files" closed
up and with the band playing lively
music, made a tour through both
sections of that city. They all knew
when the River Falls delegation ar
rived, and they knew that it was a
live bunch.
Under command of Lieut.. L. S. Doc
little the soldiers marched from the
Court House to the Fair grounds.
A ball game between service men of
River Falls, Ellsworth and Prescott,
representing the West half of the
county, = and others from Spring Val
ley, Elmwood and Plum City, for the
east half, started off the program, and
was won by the "Wests." From then
on the program was carried out as
advertised.
The speech by Judge Owens was not
only one of stirring patriotism, and
hearty welcome, but was also of
especial interest for the speakers in
structive. review of the proposed
League of Nations.
In Difference to the wishes of their
friends, large number of the sold
iers, under, Lieut.. Bunne, marched be-
fore the grandstand and were greeted
with rousing cheers. They also gave
a short marching drill.
The committe had provided a fine
list of amusements-horse racing, a
number of comedy stunts, singers, a
boxing match, and several other at
tractions-all Of which were greatly
enjoyed.
Special mention must be made of
the River Falls band, which donated
it's services and made a great hit.
Their music was excellent, and they
showed fine spirit in their willingness
to play whenever and wherever called
upon, every player responding prompt
ly to the call.
And the noon 'mess"-it was "sure
some grand eats" and the boys will
always have fond and grateful recol-
lections of that feed-and also of the
efficient and attractive manner in
which it was served.
All in all it was grand and glor-
ious occasion, and it is sincerely hop
ed that there are many more such re-
unions to follow.
The days. program closed with a
dance at the East End pavilion, which
was patronized by one Of the largest
crowds which ever attended a dance in
Pierce County.
