showed itself. Through the leader
ship of Oscar Dahlgren and Ed Han
son, a list was passed around for do
nations of labor and money to fix the
road to the school house. Response
was fine; $4,000 in money and large
amount of labor being donated. The
money was split among those who Ia
bored so no one did it all. Those
who worked were Matt McGrath, Roy
Cluett Arthur Golden, Warren Gold
en-, Carl and Edwin Hultgren, George
Klein, Ed. Hanson, Ben Sydow, Oscar
Dahlgren, Albert Smith and young
fellow staying with Olof Nelson's

pay for. Thanks to those who worked
and donated.
