The annual "Fastelavnsgilde,"
scheduled for Monday, Feb. 16, gives
promise of being bigger and better
than ever. The committee has left
no stones unturned in their drive for
a perfect program. They have turned
over so many things that they even
ordered their advertisement in this
issue turned up side down-see it else
where, and be sure to attend the car
nival.
On Wednesday Of last week, Feb. 4,
Lars Christensen celebrated his 18th
birthday, and in honor of the event
Mrs. Christensen was kept busy both
afternoon and evening entertaining
the many guests and serving refresh
ments. In the afternoon the "old
timers were in the majority and it
was interesting to note that the COM
bined ages of the five oldest was near
ly 400 years. They were Holden Han
sen SO, Lars Jensen 81, Jens Paulsen
80, Mr.. Christensen 70 and L. Mosbaek
rs. Thus in point of years Mr.. Mos
back was the baby of the bunch, and
e A. E. Laage who was also present,
and is not a spring chicken any more,
was entirely outclassed.
