Sank Centre residents have
been somewhat concerned during
the past week by the appearance
in the northeastern heavens of
a ball of light which appears at
about 10 o'clock each night and
travels toward the northwest.
We have a bunch that the light
is a freak Of the Aura. Some
body said it was an airplane and
others maintain that it is just
a bit of surplus gas which left
the sun on December 18th and
is still on it's way toward the
end of the world.
Sergeant Earl RoWlings, U.
IS. Army instructor of the local

CURED a new set of decorations
during the past week. Next
time you meet Ellis Nibs," Just
take a slant at his cuffs and
you will observe a pair of dainty
little green trimmings around
the sleeve. The sergeant is not
all dressed up for a st. Pat
rick's parade, not yet, but the
trimmings" mean that during
the war he served as a commits
stoned officer. Sergeant Row
lings during the war period
served as both a second and a
first lieutenant, being denoted
to his old rank of sergeant with
the close of the war.
