Boy Scout Activ-
tiles Below Par
Several Members of Troop rs Are
At Camp Nawakwa, Avon
Others Go Next Week

While summertime is the most
ideal time for scouting activities,
scout troops usually find them
selves somewhat disorganized dur
ing the school vacation period, inso-
far as regular meetings are con-
cerned. Troop 25 has had a couple
of fine hikes, however, under the
leadership of DR.. A. A. Gales-one
an all day hike, and the other an
overnight camp. The boys are for
tunate in having the leadership of
such a nature man as DR.. Gales.
This is scout camp time, and this
week Scouts Vernon Weeks, Chas.
White, David Lux, Richard Butler
and Collin Lovesee are at Camp
Nawawka at Avon. Next week Gra-
ham Morgan, Donald Otto, Bill
Parker and Dudley Morse will at
tend from Troop 25. This is Camp
Nawakwa's first season and if you
pass through Avon you should stop
and see this camp, which is locat-
ed on the east side Of Big Spunk
Lake, just few blocks south of the
paving. The camp has been i'm
proved considerably for this year
and has accommodations for forty
boys. There is a regular daily
schedule starting at 6:45 and end
ing at 900. The city is divided in
to camp duties, inspection, scout in
struction, swimming, rest, nature
work, and an evening campfire pro-
gram, all being carried out under
the personal supervision of Scout
Executive Nash. It is a fine exper-
ience for the boys.
This Thursday evening is Rotary
Club evening at Camp Nawakwa,
and many Rotarians from here are
planning to eat their evening meal
there and inspect the camp before
returning.
Scout John Pesheck, who gradu-
ated this spring and is now at his
home at Mickkelson, N. D., has
been transferred to the K. F. Y. r.
Lone Scout Troop at Bismark. Most
of the members Of this Troop are
Lone Scouts, that is, they operate
mostly alone and are scattered ov-
er large territory, making it i'm
possible for them to gather togeth-
er very often as a Troop. John
made an enviable record here, and
he is heading for the Eagle by fall.
He has been asked to help organ
ize and conduct a Troop at Medora,
but since this is 35 miles from his
home it is going to be hard for
him to be very active in this troop.

Two Autos Are
Wrecked Saturday
Near Tragedy Occurred Near Mel
rose At Hoo O'clock Saturday
Evening-Case In Court

Two men, strangers, it is under
stood, who have been selling books
for a local oil company, driving a
Nash coach, travelling west on
Highway No. 8, collided with a
Hudson coach occupied by four
people, travelling east, Saturday
evening about Hoo P. M.
The Hudson was struck a glanc-
ing blow and turned across the
pavement into the guard rail on
the north side of the road.
The occupants of both cars es-
capped with slight injuries. Both
cars were considerably wrecked
The cars were taken to a garage.
Later the Hudson was towed into
Minneapolis. The names of the
men in the Nash are withheld as
the case is still in the courts in an
unsettled condition.

Tuberculosis Decreases I'm
Stearms County Schools

there was active disease, X-ray
examinations were given the pupils
with positive reactions. These ex-
aminations revealed one pupil with
active tuberculosis. She was i'm
mediately removed from school
and sent to a sanatorium, in which
she is now making a satisfactory
recovery. Thirty-one other pupils
were pronounced suspicious and
were referred to their family ply
sicians for observation and further
X-rays later. Healed types of child
hood tuberculosis were shown in
187 students. Other findings shown
in the x-rays were two cases of
curvature of the spine, two with
extra ribs, and four with heart de-
fects.
Approximately 81 per cent of the
total enrolment of the highschools
of the county took advantage of
the opportunity to be tested, the
report points out. It is explained
that many of the students held
back at first because they were
frightened, and later when they
saw how harmless the test was, re-
quested it. Unfortunately this
could not be arranged because of
the doctor.
II the entire test did nothing
more than bring to light the one
unsupected case Of active tuber-
cufosis, it would have been worth
while, says the County Association
report. In all probability this case
would not have been diagnosed for
some time, not only lessoning the
girls chances for recovery, but also
exposing all her classmates to the
diseae. OF inestimable Importance
is the finding of those thirty-one
boys and girls suspicious Of tuber-
culosis. BY careful watching and
proper care, these young people

$1,000 Extortion
Attempt Failed
Garry Lee, Formerly of This City
Intended Victim-TwO Are
Arrested

Wadena, MINI. June 27-Two
suspected extortionists were trap
ped near here last night when a
state crime bureau operative,
dressed in the clothes of the in
tended victim, deposited a dummy
package the suspects subsequent
picked up.
One of the men arrested has con-
fessed, Sheriff John B. Bengtson,
Wadena said. He implicated three
men seized last night.
Carl Erickson and Ira Mellette,
two crime bureau operatives who
helped Sheriff Bengtson and De-
putty Sheriff Max Olson are trying
to connect the men with an at
tempt to extort money from Wal
ter Oby, Detroit Lakes banker.
G. R. Lee, president of the Men
ahga First National bank, received
a letter, ordering him to leave ST.
900 at a certain place. The writers
said he would be killed if he did
not obey or if he sought to COM
municate with authorities. He
showed the letter to authorities
however.
1t demanded money and directed
Lee to drive south on United States
highway number II to Farmer
Anderson's driveway and then
twenty yards south where you will
find can in the ditch with a note
stating where you are to leave the
money.
The officers followed the in
structions to the letter. When they
saw two men slowly walk over
and pick up the package, they ar
rested them.
The suspected gave the names of
Joseph Mann and James Barrey.
Sheriff Bengston said Barry con-
fessed there were two other men
named Red" and "Blackie", But
he said, he did not know their
full names.
In the effect to link the suspects
with the Detroit Lakes extortion
attempt, the crime bureau men
said Oby the Detroit Lakes banker
had arranged with local officers
for trip similar to the one laid
last night. A package containing
paper was deposited where Oby
was supposed to have left a sum
of money and the officers took up
their post but the extortionists did
not appear.
Mrs. Lee formerly resided in
Sauk Centre. Mrs. Lee was Miss
Ruth Compton, youngest daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. Elmer Compton.

together could say, would resolve
into one thought: Father ART is a
good priest" Short talks were also

dent of st. Joseph Society and Ben

ish. The ladies of the church served

Public Debt

It is incredible how easily and deeply pub lie corporations can get into debt A village or school district or city or county or state or country wants something. and orders " without bothering much about the cost ol the manner of payment There is usually sense of public spirit in voting for public expenditures It is building, developing , expanding, improving, rendering public service.
 As d result we find situations like these. Suburban towns apply for annexation to their local metropolis, appealing to it's nat ural eagerness for population, and dumping onto it an indebtedness that otherwise would bankrupt the suburbs. Or else they apply to the state legislature for relief. In one state numerous villages and towns. after ambi- tiousy over-extending themselves. are foAnd with an indebtedness as high as $6,000 per family, without counting their share of tlIe township. county, state and federal debt.
 There are. however. two natural lmita- tlons to such extravaganza. One is failure to collect taxes. The other is failure to sell bonds. Both are operating now 10 an extent which is distressing, but wholesome.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1932-05-31

In such efforts they were not doing anybody any good least or all themselves. There are plenty of idle cars on the railroad tracks. both passengers and freight. But if former military men have right to seize them and demand transportation. SO have other eiti- gems.
 What would be said if it were 'done by crowd of local miners eager to petition Congress for Industrial justice as they see it? Or crowd of steel workers demand ing jobsl Or a crowd of Communists? Or a Chamber of Commerce demanding more bank credit? One group has no more right to such lawlessness than any other. If there is to be any formal march on Washing ton for the bonus. and the volunteers have no personal means of transport, it might be supposed that such an excursion would be f- nanced by the Leg.on. rather than the rail- roads. which have nothing to gain and something to lose by the bonus.
