A Breakfast for the Boy Scouts
School would be starting in just
a few weeks, so the Boys Scouts
of the community were planning as
many outings as they could possib-
ly arrange. Tom Jr. announced
that the next field trip for the Eagle
Patrol of which Tom Jr. was patrol
leader was a week end hike to
Ponds Grove. Tom Jr. was on the
Eats" committee in charge of
the breakfasts. To feed a dozen
husky adolescent boys was no small
problem. Tom Jr. and his mother
finally decided on the following
menus:
Saturday Morning
Fresh Pears, Peaches, Oranges
Clay Baked Eggs, Bacon
Buttered Rye Bread Toast
Corn on the Cob
Milk to Drink
Sunday Morning
Philadelphia Scrapple Drowned
in butter
Broiled Apples
Whole Tomatoes-Sal

Milk Beverage (hot)
Fourteen years old boys have
ravenous appetites at all times, but
early in the morning after a night
out-of-doors the task of satisfying
their hunger was no small one. Few
mothers realize the large number
of calories which the adolescent
boy requires every day-between

Willmar Visitors Say Only
Outlaws Patience Saved
Their Lives
Page Eight

Willmar, Sept. 6-Tales of mental
and physical torture at the hands
of Chinese bandits, which put them
both in a hospital in Shanghai,
were told today by Mr.. and Mrs.
Robert w. Porteous, American mis-
sionairies, who are visiting rela-
tives in Willmar
Fed on nothing but half-cooked
rice and stewed bamboo sprouts,
Mr.. and Mrs. Porteous were held
three months at the bandits camp,
under repeated threats of death.
1--WE were accused of being i'm
perialists," Mr.. Porteous said. 1--WE
also were told we were leading the
people astray and hypnotizing them
with foreign doctrines, and deceiv-
ing them by good words and works.
They also accused us of being capi-
talists and taking the peoples
money away. The latter charge
had a touch of irony, in view of
the fact I had but SIS when cap
tured."
Several times the missionaries
were greeted in the morning with:
To-day we are going to kill you"
1t was only the bandits patience
in waiting for ransom money which
saved him and his wife from death,
Mr.. Porteous said. The uncertain
ty of their status in the bandit
camp is illustrated by Mr.. Porteous
frequent query: "Are you going to
kills u.s." Invariably the Chinese
questioned would reply. "Oh no
not me-"
1t was through the efforts of
Chinese Christians and the missions
the couple said that their release
was brought about but not until
the equivalent of approximately 50
600 of the 100000 (American mon
ey) demanded by the bandits had
been paid.
In addition to the money, a Coz
siderable amount of medicine was
given the bandits. Medicines were
needed desperately and the ban
dts thought more of this than of
the money.
Conditions in the bandits camp
were so bad Mr.. Porteous said it
was necessary for his wife to tear
up a petticoat and use it to make
stockings for the two.
Mr.. Porteous possessed between
SO and SIS when the couple was
captured, but this the bandids did
not take from him. He said they

Changes in the School Buildings
During the summer, a great many
welcome changes were made In
both the Junior and Senior AS
semblies. In the Junior building an
unused room. originally intended as
a swimming pool, has been redec-
Grated and arranged as the new
lunch room. Up stairs, the old
sewing room has now become a
large class room, while the new
sewing room is to be found down.
stairs in the southern third of the
old lunch room. In the northern
portion of this room is the cooking
room while the middle is occupied
by an attractive dining room for
the use of the cooking classes.
In the Senior building new and
up-to-date laboratory has been es-
tablished in the old typing room. 1t
is a room of which we can be very
proud. as the equipment is good;
even better than can be found in
many schools in this state. The
typing class now occupies the orig
inal normal training room which in
turn has taken up it's new abode in
the other class room downstairs.
A passage now runs from the old
gym" to the girls entrance. Up
stairs the two rooms along the
northern side have been combined
to make one large class room. At

Mr.. and Mrs. Porteous remained

hardly talk.

Re-arrangement of Classes

The school program has oeen
changed this year. The first bell
rings at eight thirty-five. The per-
iods are of an hours duration, but
each class is divided into a half an
hour of recitation and thirty min
utes of supervised study. This new
plan has been put into immediate
effect. OF course, the pupils haven't
become entirely accustomed to the
program yet, but that will come
soon. AS Mr.. Falk tried to i'm
press upon the pupils, the new
program is for the good of every
boy and girl.

100000 PEASANTS in
GREECE ON TAX STRIKE

ATHENS.-The bourgeois press re-
ports that no less than 100000 peas
ants have been summonsed this year
for not paying their taxes. The gov
eminent has announced that it in
tends to enforce the payment with
all possible means, with the auction
ing of the peasants personal prop
erty if necessary.
The Greek Communist Party has
issued the slogan of a tax strike and
the cases where peasants refuse to
pay taxes are on the increase, as also
are cases of collisions between peas
ants and tax officers. In the village
of Aziki the police arrested 20 peas
ants for non-payment of taxes,
whereupon the remaining peasants
armed themselves with pitchforks
and the like and freed their COM
rades. In the village of zyrnovo the
peasant women beat up the police
and the tax officials.
