| The old town hall has been greatly
improved in appearance since it was
given two coats of paint and the Han
sen Cafe building looks as spick and
span as a new born babe since it
also was beautified by the paint
brush of John L. Madsen. The old
saying is that dress makes the man."
and to some extent this is true, but
| if applied thus: Paint makes the
building" it would be even more true.
| Three children were baptized by
the Rev. o. H. Dyreborg at the SER
vices in the local Danish Lutheran
church Sunday forenoon. They are:
Virgil Jeppe, son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Harold Christensen; Mildred Dagmar,

Miller; and Julia Marie, daughter of

Baptizing three children on the same
Sunday and at the same time is a
little unusual, though it has occurred
in the local church before.
