EFFORT MADE TO ESTAB-
LISH ~Y" IN JULESBURG
Community Club at Special Meeting Thursday
Evening Listen to Plans Advanced by
State Y NJ. C.. A. Workers

The Community Club met in special
session Thursday evening in the court
house, the object of the gathering be-
ing to hear the plans explained that
our state Y. NJ. C. A. workers were
putting forth for the perfscting Of a
district organization for this part Of
the state. Homer Hoisington and Rev.
John Winterbourne from the Denver
headquarters, presented the plans.
The object sought was to organize
about seven counties, with fifteen
towns, in this section, into one dis
trict, and employ district secretary
who should have a central office at
Sterling. Such towns as Wray,
Yuma. Holyoke, Haxtun, Brush. Nor
gan. Sterling, Sedgwick, Julesburg
and others were to be included. The
move required the raising Of about
$4,000 and the quota assigned to Sedg.
wick county was $700, to be divided
between Julesburg and the town Of
Sedgwick.
The idea was that the secretary
should make two trips each month
from his Sterling office to each town
in the association to direct and stimu-
late the local work
We doubt if there is town in the
state of Colorado where the sympa
thy for Y. M. C. A. interests will sur
pass the friendly feeling Julesburg
holds towards this splendid organiza-
tion and yet there was considerable

Master Norman Hegen-

The sad news reached our city Sat
urday announcing the death of little
Norman Harrece Hegenderfer. son of
Mr.. and Mrs. ]. T. Hegenderfer and
grandson of Mr.. and Mrs. B. F.. Engel-
hardt. Death occurred very suddenly,
the little fellow being sick only about
two hours He was living at the time
in the home of his mothers sister,
near Cheyenne Wells, in which coun-
ty the father had closed tractor
contract for the breaking of land. Mr.
Hegenderfer was twenty .miles away
when the boy took sick and though
an auto. was dispatched at once to
get him he failed to arrive in time
to see the son alive. Mrs. Hegender-
fer, the mother, lay sick in bed with
pneumonia here in Julesburg in the
home of her parents, having been
brought here in order that she might
have better care during her own i'll.

those who still remain and assuring
us that we shall see our loved ones

DESIRED TO MAKE
SCHOOL BONDING
ISSUE UNANIMOUS
Raging Storm Prevent Holding Scheduled Meet
ings-COunty May Establish Branch
High School at Ovid

This is one reason why it is highly
desirable to have all high school work
done in third class districts done under
the supervision of the county high
school system.
AS fast as needed high school build
ings will be built to accommodate the
branch schools. The fact that the
county is building instead of the local
district means that much larger ter
ritory will be drawn on and much
better building can be constructed.
1t is fortunate that the people of
the county are so unanimously behind
the present project for in many cases
petty local jealousies have caused the
failure of county systems and the
school advantages of the local boys
and girls seriously held back for years.
While there is no doubt but that
the bond issue will pass strong it is
the wish of the High School Commit
tee that the vote be made as nearly
unanimous as possible; then when il
is necessary to establish new branch
schools there will be no cause for or
position. Let US make the vote
unanimous.

opposition to the proposition as pre-
sented by those gentlemen. |. was
generally felt that Julesburg VI lid
not .ea le enough direct benefit sat
of the plans to justify our town in
going down into its pocket for her
share Of the 500 and sending the
amount up to Logan county to be
spent in maintaining a man in Sterl-
ing. The proposition for the present
at least is turned down.
A strong sentiment does prevail
though for a Y NJ. C. A. for Julesbur.,
where our boys can have its influence
and its training, and there was con
siderable talk in favor of trying to
organize one here through the coop
Grafton of the town and the school.
Prot. Rowland thinks the thing can
be worked out very successfully and
we notice the professor generally
knows what he is talking about The
matter will be given further consid-
Grafton.
The community club then talked
paving and the use of Sherman Hill
gravel on our streets. None of the
trwn council were present but the
value of Sherman Hill gravel has been
pretty thoroughly presented to our
c,tizens and it looks as though big
majority favor it's use, rather than
local gravel. Better drainage on
our streets in the way of better
gutter was also talked.

They have gone ahead and built
roads and the counties Of Cook and
Lake has spent thousands of dollars
to keep them open this winter. But
it is the exception rather than the
rule that the mail comes trough on
time.
During the holidays the mail serv-
ice broke down to the extent that in
two weeks second class mail came
through twice. Between Jan. 10 and
Jan. 20 there have been but two pa
pers delivered to the Grand Marais
postoffice.
Citizens of Grand Marais have
done their bit all through the trying
times of the war, going over the top
in all the various drives and they
feel that Uncle Sam should see that
they have communication with the
outside world.
Publicity will help turn the trick
and your valuable space to bring
this to the attention Of the general
public will be appreciated by the
citizens of Cook county.
