CARE FOR MANY NEEDY ONES

With the end of the winter in sight
the work Of the United Welfare CON-
mittee has lightened considerable
after a very busy season in caring for
needy and destitute families in this
county. Although conditions are much
better the committee is still on the
job. During the winter the committee
has assisted 172 individuals in all
parts of the county with necessities
of life.
The committee was first organized
at a meeting held on December 3, at
which representatives Of churches and
organizations were present to find
some efficient method OF taking care
Of the charity needs of Bookings
county during the winter. An Organi-
cation was perfected with DR.. B. r.
Green as chairman. Mrs. r. l.. Patty,
secretary; Mrs. A. Mears and Mrs. A.
ID. Lampson representing the fedora
ton Of women's clubs; C.. F.. Wells
representing the American legion; A.
E. Bunday, Methodist church; Prof.
G. l.. Stevens, Baptist church; A. E.
Boyum, Lutheran church; E. j. Briggs,
United Presbyterian church; Mrs. A.
S. Harding, Episcopal church; Mrs. D.
Lindsay, Catholic church; Mrs. r. B.
Forsee, First Presbyterian church. The
largest part Of the work devolved upon
the chairman, DR.. Green, and Mrs.
Patty, Mrs. Mears and Mrs. Lampson,
to whom great credit and the thanks
Of the community is due.
The 172 cases cared for by this com
mittee represent only a part of the
work done during the winter. AS
many or more cases were discovered
and turned Ove to the church or other
organizations under whose jurisdic-
ton they would properly fall. 1t was
only those cases where no affiliation
was evident that the committee itself
took care Of. 1t served as a clearing
house for all Of the charitable work
in the county. Many contributions of
money were received from private per
sons and a large gift from the Presby-
terrain brotherhood. Citizens were gen.
erous in supplying clothing which
could be used, and the merchants also
contributed generously. At Christmas
time the Baptist church donated a
large supply of canned goods and food
stuffs. The committee was never
without ample funds to work with and
more was offered than was necessary
to use. The county commissioners
gave them the use Of the Red Cross
room at the courthouse.

have been at work in the shape of
farm mortgage loans.
SO the story might be carried on in
definitely; but enough has been said
perhaps to give you a little picture
of the multitude Of activities which
are being made possible through the
wise investment Of your insurance
savings. Your insurance dollar is not
a proud a~ristocrat, snobbishly living
an idle life. Rather it is a worker in
o~veralls, helping to build and main
tain the most vital institutions of
modern life.
1t is paid for it's work in interest
or dividends, of course, as is perfect
ly proper and right. And the interest
dollars and dividend dollars are put
to work in their turn-a constantly
increasing army Of dollar workers,
adding to the security behind your
insurance policy and reducing its
cost to you.
So if you would look for your in
suranCe dOllar-look about you.

light for the gymnasium below. The
main stairs to the first floor are on
each side Of the auditorium running
to the corridor below. The cor
ridor on the second floor is similar in
shape to the lower one, running en-
tirely around the building. Bounding
the corridor on the outside are reel
tation rooms, study rooms and the
laboratories of the chemistry depart
ment.
The interior Of the building is fin.
ished in the finest birch and maple.
The walls are plastered with a sane
finish. The floors are made with a
patent and sound-proof construction
The ventilating system is the most
modern yet developed and is con.
nected with the heating system sc
that the fresh air is warmed before
being introduced into the rooms, thus
insuring an evenly heated and perfect
ly ventilated room.
The plumbing work in the building
was done by the Brookings Construc
ton company Of which r. j. Ray is
manager. Experts who have exam
ined their work in the new structure
announce it as some of the fines
plumbing that they have seen any
where in the state Of South Dakota.

ABERDEEN NORMAL
LOSES To STATE
JACkRABBIT CHAMPIONS DEFEAT
NORTHERNERS 80 TO %
IN FAST GAME
CAREY WAS THE SENSATIONAL STAR
The Entire State COLLEGE Team Was
Placed on the All State
Mythical Quint

Displaying a brand Of basket ball
never before seen on the Aberdeen
floor, State college won a fast game
from the Northern normal last Satur-
day night, 80 to %. Coach Vests
championship team was working in
smooth fashion and had the best of
the northerners all through the con
test. The Aberdeen News said that
the State college team played the
classiest basket ball ever seen I'm that
city.
The game started with a rush, both
teams fighting hard. State took a
one point lead when one of the Nor
NAL players fouled. Carey for State
made the free throw. Before the game
had hardly started, Carey, star for
ward, for the Aggies had rolled in 10
points. From this point on the Aggies
were never headed off by the Speel.
man quint.
Opening up with a battling attack
centered around Carey, Thune, and
Thompson, the State started to work
the ball up and down the floor at
will. Carey, star of the West quint
for the past four years was given the
the ball time and again, although
closely guarded, he managed to To-
cate the hoop for a total of % out of
the 80 score. Aberdeen fans gave
Carey credit for being the fastest and
cleverest forward that has appeared
on the court in some years.
The offense displayed by the State
gang was too much for the Speelman
aggregation and baskets were made
from all parts Of the floor by Carey,
Thompson and Welch. Thune also
came through with four baskets.
In choosing an all state basket ball
team, the Argus-Leader picked the en-
tire State college team as practically
the unanimous choice Of all coaches
and officials in the state. Every man
on the Jackrabbit team stands premier
in his class. Carey, Welsh, Thune,
Thompson and Schultz were named
as first team selections. Carey, Thune
and Thompson were members Of the
all state team last year.
