American Legion Minstrel

The minstrel which is to be put
on under the auspices of the Ameri-
can Legion, in the opera house next
Thursday night, Feb. IS, promises
to be first class in every respect. Mr..
Harry Betz is directing the singing,
and they practice about every even
ing. and we are told their comedy
stuff is splendid. The troupe mem
bers are all our home people, and
no one receives any benefit financial
ly from the performance. The pro-
ceeds will go to the general fund of
the local Legion. The Legion has
assisted in many ways here. 1t will
be recalled that at Christmas time
they gave Christmas tree, and as
sisted the Boy Scouts; the Civics
club, and in many other things. The
price for the minstrel performance
is very reasonable, and the show
should be we'll patronized, and it
will be well worth the admission

Ice Gorge Disappearing

The ice gorge which extended
from the bridge here, up the river
for several miles, quietly moved out
Tuesday afternoon and evening,
taking the ice out through the mid
die of the river. However there S
much heavy ice piled up along the
shores The ice gorge below the
dam, which extended to near Stock
port. is still holding, but with a
few open places. The water which
was level at the dam has fall now
of three feet at that place, and the
river is falling. While down the
river the ice is piled up in places
resembling the Arctic region some
what, it would seem that the dan
ger here from the present ice gorge
is past.
