wood Falls and Marshall
Teams at Banquet

Hendricks, Redwood Falls, Monte
yideo and Marshall basketball teams
were given a banquet sponsored by
the Pep Club of Marshall High
School, Friday evening of last week.
The main speaker of the evening was
DR.. j. L. Cooke, former Minnesota
basketball coach who talked on the
history of basketball. This was espe-
cially interesting because of the
schools late connection with basket
ball.
The captains of the four teams re-
presented gave short talks in behalf
of their respective high schools.
This banquet is something new
started by Marshall, and it is hoped
that the idea will be carried on by
neighbor towns later, for it creates
a friendly feeling between competing
schools.
Coach X. w. Stockton, Supt. and
Mrs. j. H. Wichman and players,
Gilbert Johnson, Donald Laidlaw,
Ward Cuff, Tom Finn, Gordon Brav-
inder, John Finn, Tom Arnett, and

ISSUES CALL FOR BIDS
If Plan Carries, GB14h House
Will Be Built at Lake
This Spring

The controversy between-theIGity
Council and a committee, from the
Commercial Club and the American
Legion was terminated last Tuesday
night when the same committee, CON
sistirg of c.. A. Lauterbach, Parker
Sanders and G. L. Lynn met with, the
council regarding the building of a
bath house at Lake Redwood.
The committee presented plans and
specifications for a BATH together
with resolutions by the local post of
the Legion and the directors of the
Commercial Club, approving 1.-THE
plans, providing the cost does not, ex-
coed $2,500.00. They also recon-
mended that the City of Redwood ,ad-
vertise for bids for the construction
of bath house in accordance with
these plans. IL ,loaI.
The council acted upon thes matter
and decided to issue call forshids.
For several years the matters pf "a
bath house to replace the oldcilene
which was wrecked some time ago,
has been the center of discussion.
The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1930-04-09

For some reason no decision could be
reached on the matter until presented
to the council last Tuesday night,
and the action taken by the council
practically assures bath house for
city by time bathing seasons opens.
In the meeting with the council the
committee guaranteed the sum- of
$1,500.00, providing the council ap-
propriate 100000 for the same pur-
pose. The exact arrangement of the
finances was not taken up at the
meeting.
According to the plans the bath
house will be built on Minnesota
Street on the west, approximately on
the site of the old chutes. 1t will be
a two story building, with the top
floor which will be on the street level
as the ladies part and the lower floor
for men.
The plans also call for concrete
steps from both floors to the lake
level. The building will have rest
rooms and cold water showers, be-
sides several compartments on each
floor.
Although the council has authority
to reject any or all bids for the con-
struction of the building, it is be-
lieved that the project will be carried
through as planned. Elsewhere in
this issue appears notice for the
call for bids.

Child Drivers to Feel
Hand of State Patrol
State Patrol to Handle Cases of
Children Under Age
Limit

Children under age driving motor
vehicles will be one of the matters to
have attention of the new State
Highway patrol during the coming
summer, according to c. M. Babcock,
commissioner of Highways. Mr.. Bah
cock has received a number of letters
from different sections of the state
complaining that the section of the
law covering the age of drivers is be-
ing violated, and has turned them
over to the highway patrol for APP
propriate action.
The law covering the age of drivers
reads as follows:
mo person shall operate or drive
a motor vehicle on any highway IN
this state who is under Is years Of
age unless such person is accompan-
led at the time by duly licensed
chauffeur, or by the owner, or by a
competent person over Is years of
age authorized by the owner of the
motor vehicle being operated, provid-
ed that such owner must be Is years
of age or over"
The Minnesota law covering age of
drivers is more liberal than the law
in most other states, and Mr.. Babcock
believes that it should be rigidly en-
forced, especially on the trunk high
ways and on other streets and high
ways where there is any considerable
traffic.

But it must not all be left up to
the committee. The committee needs

The committee is more than willing
to do the work connected Herewith,

MORE MONEY FOR JOBLEsS

Money is fast coming in in increas-
ing amounts for the jobless. This
fact was made known this week when
the city unemployment committee re-
ported that it would now have $1,000
a week for employment, as against
5000 in the past. This means that
the number employed can be raised
from 60 to 80 men. This money is
coming from those workers who are
working regularly, or fairly so, and
employers. In fact, from all classes;
and but shows that Hamilton has q
heart and its people always stand
ready to come to the aid of it's un-
fortunate More men to be employed
is certainly good news.

A NEW POST OFFICE

With the ordering of tenants to
vacate the property acquired by the
government at Front and Court
streets by January Is, it looks like the
dream of Hamiltonians of new post
office is nearing realization. And
there is no doubt about it but that
the campaign waged by the Hamilton
Daily News for quick action on the
proposed improvement has had great
effect. Large bodies move slowly,
but continued prodding hastens them.
The campaign waged by the News on
the authorities at Washington is
really in the interest of the unem-
ployed and is much appreciated.
Wrecking of the present buildings
will give employment to many of the
common labor class. Then with work
on the new building skilled labor will
get it's share. Now is the time when
employment is wanted, and needed,
by the workers. They would much
rather have employment than char
ity. 1t is to be hoped the News will
continue to carry on its campaign
until the new post office is fairly on
its way of construction.
And another project the News is
urging on, and one that will go far
towards relieving the unemployment
situation, is the new Woodrow Wilson
junior high school building.
With money in the fund, the site
purchased, the work it will give, the
board of education should do every
thing possible to hasten matters to
get this building under way. Now is

THE SALVATION ARMY
AND CHRISTMAS

Without question one of the busiest
men in Hamilton these days is En-
sign Hedley Burrell, of the local
branch of the Salvationn Army. The
Salvation Army always does wonder
full work among the needy poor at
Christmas time, seeing to it that
many families are provided with the
necessities to bring the glad day cheer
into hundreds of homes which other
wise would be bleak and melancholy
on this day.
This year is to be no exception.
In fact, because of the greater need.
Ensign Burrell is determined that the
work of his organization this year
shall outshine all previous attempts.
The army will distribute hundreds of
baskets and clothing and toys to the
needy of Hamilton and vicinity. In
addition to this it will also give a
monster chicken dinner and Christ
mas tree to 1000 children on Decem-
Der 26 at the Moose auditorium.
To do all this will require much
work and money and Ensign Burrell
is calling on all charitably inclined
citizens to make some sort of dona-
tion in the way of money, clothing,
food, toys, etc. While the Salvation
Army isn't getting the publicity
of the other organizations are get
ting, it is certainly deserving of much
credit and praise (too much cannot be
said for it) and is deserving of all
the support it can be given. The
Salvation Army reaches down to the
very poorest-in fact, to the down.
and-outers.
Here is place where one can be
sure of doing great amount of good
for real poor and unfortunate people.
Give something to the Salvation
Army Christmas fund, and enjoy the
glad day all the more for having
done so. And-more power to En-
sign Burrell.

CITY ON IT'S HIND LEGS

We are giving City Manager Price
and Service Director Teaff three
cheers for their stand in the matter
of those proposed conduits for the
new theatre on Court street. 1t
seems at last the city is to rear up
and stand on its hind legs in battle
for its own against outsiders COM
ing along and rubbing it in.
Things were running pretty smooth
for the U. G.. E. and the Hamilton
Service Company for long time, but
up against the real thing. In the
suit against them to prevent putting
in the conduits both concerns dis
claimed ownership or sponsibility-
really, we have nothing to do with
it," they said, and Judge Boyd dis
missed the case, saying there was no
known person or body to enjoin.
Alright" said Teaff, "since no one
owns 'em and they are a nuisance
here, we'll just remove them" And
he did. Tore Mr.. Conduit out and
filled the holes with concrete. Alta
boy!
Always having had everything
their own way in the past, the big
companies no doubt are very much
surprised at the stand of the city's
officials. It's new game to them
and they don't quite understand But
it does seem they are going to learn
something of the game before they
get through in this instance.
Go to it, Mr.. Price and Mr.. Teaff,
and may you long hang around to
keep an eye on the enemy.
