Mrs. H. c. Hansen has been seri-
ously ill for over week and is only
slightly improved at the time of this
writing. A trained nurse came here
from Duluth Saturday to care for her
and a specialist from Duluth was down
Saturday also to consult with the two
Sandstone doctors who are attending
her daily.
Snow and rain during the past
week have made most of the roads in
this vicinity impossible for autos. 1t
is no unusual occurrence to be pulled
out two or three times to get from
here to Sandstone on this stretch,
however, it is very interesting to note
that the first mile west of town which
was recently graveled, is holding up
fine, as are most of the other short
stretches that were graveled.
Friends and neighbors from far
and near filled the home of Mr. and
Mrs. Hans c. Hansen, northwest of
town, to overlooking on Wednesday
evening of last week in honor of Mr..
Hansen's 57th birthday anniversary.
The evening passed rapidly and pleas
antly at playing cards and social Wis
iting and terminated with a delicious
lunch. An effort to count the number
present revealed that there were at
least fifty-five.
At the quarterly meeting of the To-
cal Danish Lutheran congregation
held Sunday afternoon, A. Gravesen
was elected treasurer on the first bal
lot to fill the uneXpired term of the
late L. c. Petersen. The meeting also
decided to make a road out of the lot
on the north side of the church; it is
expected that this will be done some
time in June by donation work, and
it is to be made so wide that cars can
be parked to both sides and still have
plenty of room in the center for traf-
fic. A committee of three-Fred John
sen and two more to be selected by
him-are to make suitable and needed
improvements at the cemetery; the
meeting voted to give $50 toward
such improvements. and May 25 was
set aside as the day when everyone
interested should gather there and
help fix up the place. Further an
nouncements will likely be made
later on regarding this. The same
committee that served last year were
reelected to sponsor the two Danish
