ed by Glenwood

The dope as predicted by the
Herald editor ran true to form in
the District basketball tournament
at Alexandria Friday and Saturday
of last week.
Sank Centre opened the tourna-
ment at 1000 a. M, Friday meeting
their friendly enemy, Osakis. The
Herald predicted that the locals
could win this contest with the pro-
per fighting spirit. They played
beautiful basketball, leading Osakis
by a slight margin all the way. AS
the two teams lined Friday morn

sible in no small measure for the
success of this organization.
For Several years Mr.. Falk has
been one of the members of the
board of directors of the Sank
Centre Country Club. He has had
charge of and successfully direct
ed several golf tournaments.
The resignation of Mr.. Falk came
as much of a surprise to the School
Board as it does to the commun-
ity.
The Herald editor has known for
a long time that Mr.. Falk was look
ing for an opportunity to enter
Columbia university, New York
City, to complete his education and
receive his Doctor degree. The
opportunity has come to him from
Dean Russell rather sooner than he
expected.
Mr.. and Mrs. Falk and son, Bob,
have been desirable citizens of this
community. They will leave host
of warm friends behind them. How
ever these friends will wish them
well in their new surroundings.
This Thursday morning Mr.. Falk
made the following statement to
the Herald editor:
am resigning my position
as superintendent of the Sank
Centre schools to fulfill long
felt desire for graduate study.
I have accepted an opportun-
ity to carry on this work at
Teachers College. Columbia
University, New York City.
My son, Robert, has been ac-
cepted as Sophomore student
at the Horace Mann School for
Boys in New York City, where
he will complete his High
School work.

GreyEagle Gard Sharks
Give Locals Drubbine
Trim Locals by 20 Points at Grand
Nula Thursday Evening -
They Like it,; Oh, Yeah.

That Grey Eagle gang of grand
nula high binders are inhospitable
hosts.
1t will be recalled that a couple
of weeks ago they invited the
whist players of this city to be
their guests Thursday evening of
last week.
This invitation followed a close
victory won in this city by the
locals.
When Fred Mossman extended the
good will offerings of his town
there was a string attached-the
losers were to pay for the lunch
con at the Grey Eagle set-to.
Came the Fatal Night
About 40 of the players in this
city climbed blithely into autos
and headed for the Hamlet on the
north happy in the thought that
they would meet a bunch of good
fellows and garner free feed.
Play started shortly after 500
o'clock. In all the writer's roamin's
he never met up with as tight a
bunch of Scotchmen as is that
gang of card sharks from the
Todd county village.
From the time the first hand
was dealt until the closing period
the Main Street gang never had a
chance. At the finish Grey Eagle
led by 20 points.
The ladies of the Catholic church
served a marvellous lunch. Toe
much for any normal man to eat
at that time Of night.
Knowing fine opportunity
when he saw it, it has been limited
that perhaps our good friend
Fred Mossman. stored his surplus
away in capacious pockets for flu
ture reference.
At any rate it was a great eve
ming. The Grey Eagle gang are a
fine bunch of friends. So what
was Soc per Sank Centre capita
among friends?

Several Red
Hot Election
Fights Tues.
1873, the Largest Vote in Sank
Centre Township History,
POlled
OTHER TOWNS BATTLE
Carl Pauly Defeated Geo.
Grundman by Majority of
Eight-Other Results
Sank Centre Township

At Tuesdays annual township
elections the spirit of unrest was
in the air, apparently, as attempts,
partially successful, were made to
overturn the old order of things.
Take Sank Centre township, for
instance. In 1880 II votes were
polled at the annual town election.
In 1929 there were 13 votes cast.
The first indication of a turn over
was at the caucus Saturday after
noon when Carl Pauly, defeated
George Grundman as candidate for
supervisor for three years. Mr..
Grundman had served seven years
on the board.
Immediately after the caucus
friends of Mr.. Grundman insisted
that he run as an independent
candidate. There was also a COM
paign staretd for George F. P.
Minette for assessor against that
old war horse, Charles Kortan.
With a campaign on friends of
the candidates got exceedingly
busy. This extra effort brought
15S votes before the polls closed.
This was the largest vote cast in
Sank Centre township in the men,
DRY of man.
With the first 100 votes counted
Messers Pauly and Kortan were
making a runaway race. They
received very few out of the last
58-but they were already over. Mr..
Pauly had majority of eight over
Mr.. Grundman and Mr.. Kortan IA
over George Minette.
At the annual town meeting
81 500 taxes were levied: $1,250 for
roads and bridges; 5000 general
fund, and $4,000 for poor.
The proposition to pay the City
of Sank Centre $500 for each

fire in Sank Centre township was
carried by 38 to vote with the
provision that this amount would
be paid in the event that an in

had been opened by the chairman
Senior Patrol Leader Willis Dab
lem and a group of Scouts gave
the flag ceremony and the Scout
oath and law.
Scouts Carleton Eckberg, John
Dubois and Homer Erickson made
short interesting talks on what the
Court of Honor meant to Scouting.
Scout John Pesheck also made a
fine address explaining the origin
of Scouting in England and later
in America.
Carleton Eckberg, John Dubois
and Homer Erickson gave the three
parts of the Scout oath, each one
lighting a candle. A very interest
ing demonstration.
Mr.. Schmitt awarded Arthur Mi
nette and Roland Rattle the Tend
erfoot awards. He quizzed the boys
as to their proficiency and they
came through with flying colors.
Second class awards were pre-
sented to Carleton Eckberg, Homer
Erickson, Graham Morgan, John
Dubois and Harold Keldahl. This
was in charge of Mr.. Kawolki.

Warden of Canadian Guild

Spoke to Members of Episcopal
Church-Plan to Have Him in
City For Easter Service.

A service of unusual interest was
held in the Episcopal Church last
Sunday when Rev. T. E. Rowe,
warden of the Canadian Guild of
Health, gave an excellent sermon.
His mission to the United States
is lecturing on the purpose of APP
plying the power of the mind and
the spirit to the physical as well
as the spiritual needs. He has
been in this work for twelve years,
mostly among people who suffer
from mental and nervous weak
nesses.
He spoke of conditions as they
exist in this country today and his
talk was a revelation to the people
of the church. It is planned to
have Rev. Rowe here for the East
er service, and all of the members
hope that this may be accom-
plished.

the citizens of Sank Centre and the
patrons of the Sank Centre Public

cred his resignation to become eff

year.
Mr.. Falk is concluding his ninth
year as superintendent. When he
was elected to the superintendency
the schools in this city were in
chaotic condition, rent with intern

ulty.
Mr.. Falk soon demonstrated his
organizing ability and the malcre-
ants in the faculty ascertained the
new superintendent expected their
cooperation which he received
in a full measure.
AS a school organizer he is recog-
mixed in educational circles as
one of the most efficient in Mime
sofa. His successor, whoever he
may be, will find a well organized
harmonious, functioning education.

The gentleman has long been ac-

has been delegate to the National

Principal and Chorus Will
Maintain High Standard
of Former Years

Each year the Senior Class Glee

This year they have selected "The
Pirates Daugher," a Legend of
Old Holland, musical comedy in
three acts by Keith Crosby Brown.
The cast of principal characters,
chorus girls and boys and special
ty artists takes in a large number
of pupils. The entertainment is
being directed by Miss Hammond,
director of music at the Sank Cen
tire Public Schools.

presented at the Junior High
School Auditorium Thursday eve
ming, March 26, at 8 o'clock.
"The Pirates Daughter" a Leg
end of Old Holland" is in three
acts. A house party is given by
Mr.. and Mrs. Van der Nicer at their
estate on the Hudson. A newcom-
err from India is engaged by the
hostess to put the whole gathering
of guests to sleep at one time. BY
common consent they wish to
dream themselves back in Holland
three hundred years before. The
newcomer casts a spell over the
entire company, during which he
burns incense and sings weird
chant.
A very happy love scene is de-
picted by Elsie and Peter. Another
bright love episode is enacted by
Hans and Katrinka, the servants,
wherein a quaint wooden shoe
dance takes place in the moonlight.
Three pirate spies, Mate, Dub
and Bug, develop very comic sit
uation around the name of the pi-
rate flag known as the Jolly Rog-
err" The Burgomaster and Pirate
Chief are the centers of much
comedy also, but space permits on
ly this bare indication of the plot.
In Act III the newcomer re-
moves his spell and the last stage
of the house party reveals all in
their true characters.
