EDUCATION WEEK

American Education Week is up- on us and but for the fact that we note from editorial comment that from the Eth to the 18th is set aside for this week, we would not know of it in Petersburg.
 ''1'he purpose, according to the Bureau of Education, 'sis to ac- quaInt the public with the work ard needs of the schools. The fol- lowing program has been suggested by the sponsors: Sunday, For God and Country Day; Monday, Consti- tutional Rights Day; Tuesday, Pa tliotism Day; and Saturday, Com munity Day"
 It is believed that the observ- vance of American Education Week has been highly successful and has produced large results by way of in tcresting the American people in schools and school needs. The Bu- reau of Education hopes that obser- vance of the week will be continued with the same enthusiasm that has Earked it's recent history.

Mr.. and Mrs. Wallace in Auto
Accident Sunday Evening
Three Ladies and Three Babies in
Other Car, All Luckily Escaped
Injury

Sunday evening as Mr.. and Mrs
Asa M. Wallace were travelling west
on the pavement between Albany and
Avon their Oldsmobile coupe was
struck by a Chevrolet sedan driven
by Mrs. Carr of st. Cloud. The
Wallace car was well to the right
side of the pavement when the col
lision occurred. The front wheel Of
the Odds was torn off and they were
forced into the ditch on the left side
of the paving right side up, while the
Chevrolet landed in the ditch on its
side on the right hand side. There
were three ladies and three babies
riding in the Chevrolet and all es-
capped injury in spite of the fact
there was much broken glass.
The accident occurred about 8:15
P. NJ, and there was heavy mist
falling making driving very disagree
able. Both cars were travelling at a
low rate of speed and this likely saw
ed the occupants of the cars from
personal injury.

Plans for Annual Dance

Nighttime Music Secured

Plans are complete for the 42nd
annual ball to be given by the Volun-

ire on Thanksgiving night, Nov. 25.
at the Sank Centre Arrmory.
The Herald understands the Sank

one in the state who pay their fire.
men from their own funds, all others
are paid by the city or village to
which they belong.
The local department althoueh
composed of unpaid men is one of the
most efficient in the state. They are
enthusiastic in their work, and their
Willingness to respond to the call of
duty regardless of the time of dav or
night, or weather conditions, has kept
the hre losses in this city at mini.
mum for many years.
1t has been the policy of the de-
partment to give each member of the
department at Christmas time one
dollar for each fire attended during
the year. The only means of reve-
nue. the department. has is from the
profits OF the annual ball. If the
plans followed at Christmas time for
many years is to be carried out again
this years, it will be necessary for
Sank Centre citizens to purchase
tickets more literally than ever be-
fore. There are many citizens in
Sank Centre who never dance-but
there is not one who does not owe
allegiance to the Fire Department,
and every citizen should buy at least
one ticket. The canvass for the sale.
of tickets will be made this year and
as in the past and the business in
situations will be asked Ito be more
liberal in the purchase of tickets ais
the departments expense fund is
about diminished, and if an INSULT
clent amount is raised from the sale
OF tickets this year, it is very prob
able the Department will ask.
the city of Sank Centre to defray the
expense of the Department hereaf-,
ter.
The little the firemen get for their
services is nothing compared to what
they sacrifice in clothes, time and
health. Chief Geo. Fish who has
been am active member of the depart
ment for forty-two years, has charge
of the ticket sale this year. Citizens
need not wait for him to call on
them, instead mail him check for
one dollar and he will see that yon
receive your ticket.
The ball will be held in the Arm
DRY and Ray and his orchestra from
Fergus Falls will furnish the music.

Great Northern Erecting
Round House In Sank Centre
This City Will Become Division Point
for "k" Line-Will Bring Sew
~ eral Families to Town

On Tuesday of this week a Great
Northern Railway construction crew
commenced work on a new round
house to be erected in Sank Centre.
Its location will be just north of
the Great Northern stock yards. The
excavation for the turn table is now
well under way and construction on
the main building will start immed-
lately. The round house will be a
three stall structure to accommodate
three freight locomotives which are
used on the freight runs on the X line
branch.
Sank Centre will become a, division
point for the K line as is Cass Lake
at the present time at the other end
of the run. The location of the
round house in Sank Centre will aid
somewhat in the growth of the city
and should add several families as
residents.
At ten o'clock Tuesday morning
the old system of switch operation
from the tower house was, discon-
tinued. This system which has been
dependent on human hands to func-
ton properly and which has been in
constant service under faithful tow
erman for the past many years is now
done away with.
All trains must come to a full stop
before entering the blocks at present
until the new automatic system has
been completely installed and tested.
which will take at least week or
ten days more.

pie as whole should take part.

was followed by the sounding of the
siren and simultaneous ringing of
every bell in the city for a two-min-

Vanderbilt Goes to Hunt Giant Turtle
And Whale Shark at Galapagos Islands

George Pindar, registrar of the Mu-
scum of Natural History, said he
believed Mr. Belansky had gone
along to reproduce the natural COL
ors of the fish as they are taken out
of the water" He said the expedition
was financed privately by Mr.. Van
derbilt
The Galapagos are the home of gi-
ant turtles, and 1t was expected that
these would form a part of the study
of the expedition, while other objects
of scientific interest there are whale
sharks, dlenries and flying fish.
This is not the first expedition made
for scientific study by Mr.. Vanderbilt
in his palatial yacht.
He sailed in 1924 on q six-month
cruise of the Mediterranean for an
extended study of oceanography, and
other cruises have served to stock his
private aquarium at his Long Island
estate.
