Paving Contract
is Now Awarded
REDWOOD FALLS STREETS WILL
BE PAVED WITH REINFORCED
CRUSHED STONE CONCRETE

When the city council, at its spec
ia1 meeting held last Thursday even
ing, decided to pave the streets OF
this city. the town took several giant
strides forward toward the making
of an ideal up-to-date city. This
much-needed Improvement will bring
Redwood Falls in line with many of
it's nearby towns which have paved
streets and White Way that re
fleets credit and honor upon the en-
terprise of its citizens.
The paving contract was let to
Johnson, Drake & Piper, Inc, of Min
neapolis, and the substance is to con-
sist of reinforced crushed stone CON
crete for the paving and curbing
This company's bid was $3.50 per
square yard for the seven-inch layer
and $3.50 per square yard for the
six inch
The council has decided to paw
Bridge and Mill streets with seven
inch concrete to conform with the
proposed Babcock law, and if this be
comes effective, property owners
along these two streets will be re-
imbursed for eighteen feet through
the center The balance of the paw
ing will consist of six-inch founda-
tion.
Approximately twenty blocks will
be paved at the present time. and
if the sentiment of the people of this
city warrant it, more will be laid in
the immediate future. The contract
ors will begin operations as soon as
weather conditions permit.
The Bithulitic form of pavement
was strongly advocated by its bid
ders and their bid was S4.18 per
square yard for the five inch base an6

Before letting the contracts fo1
these improvements and which entai
the expenditure of a large sum O
money, the members of the council
made an exhaustive examination b!
/ personally visiting such towns a
Marshall, Tracy. st. Cloud and Min

decided that concrete was the mos
practical pavement for the price stip

crete pavement is considerable lowe
than the original bids, and this mean
saving of thousands of dollars t
the city. This saving is due to tn
watchfulness and tact of the mayo

Origin of Yuletide

Yule was the name of the ancient
Scandinavian festival held at the time
of the winter solstice. The word is of
uncertain origin, says The Housekeep-
er, but 1t probably is taken directly
from the Icelandic word SOL" mean
ing a feast. It is curious to note how
many nations of old marked the turn
of the year'-that Is, the December
solstice-by festivals. The Egyptians,
the Hindus, the Persians, the Greeks
and the Romans all had feasts at this
season, but especially the Northern
nations-the Teutons, the Scandinav-
ians, the early natives of Britain--re-
joiced at the event Of the suns turn on
it's coruse. The festival was kept with
much eating and drinking and noisy
jollity. One Of the ceremonies was the
placing of an enormous log of wood
often so large that 1t required the
strength of several men to bring 1t In
upon the hearth fire In the huge fire.
place. The burning of the Yule log
was thought to insure good fortune to
the family, especially when charred
pieces of the log burned the year be-
fore and kept over for that purpose
were used to light 1t.

His Mother whispers now.

SILENT CHRISTMAS.

The first still Christmas" in Eng
land occurred in 1925. Henry VIII was
king. In December the king fell sick,
and the nation was filled with anxiety.
1t was decided that the Christmas
should be silent one. There were
no bells, carols, or merry making. ST.
lent Christmases were proclaimed in
the protectorate Of Cromwell. The fes-
tival was altogether abolished. and the
display of the emblems of the nativity
was held TO be seditious. The change
was most notable in London. There
was silence in the Strand; the church
bells were still.
