The debate under auspices of the
local American Legion at the D. B..
S. hall Friday evening drew a fairly
good attendance. The question
Resolved: THAT our federal laws re-
stricting immigration be amended so
as to admit more Europeans" was de-
Tended on the affirmative by V. S. Pc
tersen, Svend Petersen and Anker
Simonsen, and the negative by Lud-
Wig Madsen, Harold B. johnson and
Holger r. Buck and Supt Viggo JUS
tesen Officiated as chairman. Both
sides brought out many good argu-
ments that were backed up by sta
tistics and quotations from high au-
thorities. The judges, Miss Edith
Peterson, T. N. Thomson and Geo.
Lindegaard, rendered a decision of 2
to in favor of the affirmative. Fol-
lowing the debate coffee and lunch
was served. The balance of the ev-
ening was spent in arguing the mat
ter of keeping the roads open in the
winter time. With the exception of
one all those who expressed them
selves were in favor of open roads the
year around, so the question auto
matically turned to the best and most
economical method of doing this.
Various ideas were expressed such as
to have the county do it, have the
township do it, make it a community
project, let the property owners do it,
have maintenance men hired by the
year, and in discussing the method
the following ideas were brought out:
Use caterpillars with big snow plows;
use fast moving truck; use graders
with teams; roll the snow down with
big horse drawn rollers; get out and
shovel; etc. 1t was further brought
out that the township supervisors
should do more toward keeping the
brush away from the roads, possibly
erect a few snow fences, etc. 1t is
expected that there will be a big
attendance at the annual town meet
ing next week as that is the place
and the time to take definite action
on these matters.
