Retrospection Brings
Back Old Memories
Continued from Page One)

With a historical background
there will always remain a COMPEL
ing interest in people, events, and
accomplishments that have center
ed about Sank Centre. When loo
al inhabitants are imbued with the
significance and Importance of
their own community, there is ev-
cry reason to believe they will al
ways be statesmen" to tell the
world about it. When pride, CO.
operation, friendliness, and a de-
sire to keep united on a common
ground of consideration and pro-
gress is strongly intrenched in a
locality, over half of the problems
and ailments are overcome.
Main Street" should always be
maintained as a thoroughfare
without a weak link. There is and
always must be a place in the
march of civilization and equitable
industrial advancement for such
towns as Sank Centre. This fact
must be recognized if our much
Wanted attainments would lead to
a satisfactory goal, otherwise a
whirl wind will be reaped. Public
welfare should always be placed
ahead of personal advantage.
Yes, Youth can be trusted. It has
full knowledge of what struggles
and sacrifices have builded this
country-for the masses and not
the classes-and it shall not be
said that the campaign will vary
from this line of attack. It hopes
that the work of maintaining
happy and promising equilibrium
for all people will never require
drastic action, but it must be for
titled at any rate. Trouble and dis
satisfaction mar the opportunity of
people to live their short lives and
enjoy them to the full. f..
Shall beauty, romance, happiness
and the hope of a glorious tomor-
row be shunted to the background
by following paths which lead to
no good conclusion?
Shall men be robbed of their
rights to be individuals and be-
come parts of grasping machine.
Isn't it just as easy and far more
satisfactory for men to be cogs in
a wheel which always is united and
turning for propositions and prin-
ciples which are recognized as
blessings for mankind?
Our mind wanders down the lane
of years, back home to Sank Gen.
ire. In the picture is an entranc-
ing little city-everyone tolerant,
busy, happy, and friendly. People
are living there, sharing each 9TH
er's joys and sorrows, and working
out their common problems togeth-
er. We never want the picture
changed. -. : -.

Three Day Festival Opened
Friday - Four Living
Charter Members

A three day festival marking the
Goth anniversary of the founding
of the Long Bridge church in Little
Sank township will begin Friday
evening, August 10, at 500 o'clock
and continue until Sunday after
noon, August 81.

church announces that former pas
tors and representatives of the var
ious departments in the church will

founded in 1872 by Norwegian pio-
neers who came to Little Sank and
neighboring townships. "a modest
edifice was constructed and the
first structure was replaced by a
new building in 1904. The building
however, was destroyed in 1925 in
a cyclone.

Preparations were Immediately
made to replace the church build
ing and six years ago in August,
1926, the present commodious build
ing was dedicated at impressive
ceremonies. The present structure,
familiar to all in the south part of
Todd county, is one of the fine
buildings of its kind. It is 80 by
81 feet in size and cost approx
mately $1,000.
Large though the church is, its
capacity is expected to be taxed to
the utmost in the celebration to be
held next week. Ten years ago
impressive ceremonies marked the
golden jubilee of the congregation
at which time a number of church
dignitaries were present.

above two cities, Sank Centre, Star
buck, Appleton, Benson, and other
places, brought field of rs horses
for the four classes.
Local interest centered around
Gordon Patch, Jr., a clever little
horse owned and driven by Jack
Crawford of this city. He was the
favorite in Glass D, the second
race Saturday afternoon. He won
the first heat by half length; lost
the second by a nose; a break in
the back stretch of the first half
of the third heat probably cost
him first money. He came in a
close third. The time for this race
was 2:88, 2:25 and 1926.
This was the first race Gordon
Patch, Jr., has ever entered. He
is less than four years and good
judges are of the opinion that Mr..
Crawford has a real horse. Jack
will develop anything he has.
Sylvia Patch won first money;
Gordon Patch Jr., second and Allie
Worthy, third, They finished in

Executives of three large Twin
City dairying co-operatives were
sitting on key of dynamite" to-
day as they went into session in St.
Paul to study the farmers holiday
movement in Minnesota.
At a meeting this morning in the
Minnesota Farm Bureau Fedora
TONS offices in the old capitol, Of
ficers of the Twin City Milk Pro-
ducers Association, Land O. Lakes
Creameries, Inc, and the Central
Cooperative Association, discussed
the holiday groups progress in the
state.
in Ramsey county has not been
started, according to Harry r.
Lonard, general manager of the
Twin City Milk Producers Associa-
ton.
Leonard said he conferred with
Robert Freeman, Ramsey county
agricultural agent, and was told by
he To- 20 Inof off
made to organize farmers in that
county so far as he can determine.
Freeman was not available for COM
ment.
Approximately 1000 farmers are
members of the Twin City associa-
ton, said Mr.. Leonard. These
members deliver milk to 13 sta
tions, he said, and at this time of
year about so per cent of the milk
is used by Twin Cities distributors.
"a milk strike at this time of
year would perceptibly effect = the
Twin Cities" said Leonard. "The
yearly average of the amount of
milk furnished by these farmers
which is consumed in the Twin
Cities is about 20 per cent"
Officers of the Twin City con-
Germs are scheduled to meet this
afternoon and discuss further the
holiday plans and to draft state
ment explaining the co-operatives'
stand. Mr.. Leonard was unable to
say whether the SO cents price In
crease for raw milk which will be
by Dakota county farm
ers will be considered at this time.
Dakota county farmers want $500
a hundred pounds for raw milk as
with $1.02 a hundred, the
present price.
There is considerable sentiment,
in southeastern Stearns
to start the movement in this coun-
ty. A meeting will be held to per,
feet an organization in a few days.

A Marvellous Exhibit

The exhibit of the Game and
Fish Department, sponsored by the
Conservation Club, of Sank Centre,
and the Stearns County Sports
mems Club, Melrose, supervised by
Deputy Game Warden Fred Moss
man, of this city, and assisted by
a number of wardens from other
sections of Central Minnesota,
would have done credit to a state
fair. All told there were more than
200 live and mounted exhibits,
Nearly one-half of the Sank
Centre building was given over to
this exhibit. The live deer, other
animals and live birds were in pens
outside the building. The ceilings
and side of the buildings were lined
with green foliage. The first ex-
hibit to come to ones attention as
he entered the exhibit from the
north end were three live beavers.
Then followed the live fish in tanks.
In the center and front of the ex-
hibit were the various kinds Of
pheasants. There were also q pair
Of young turkey buzzards.
Mr.. Mossman had travelled many
miles in gathering this splendid ex-
hibit which went a long way
toward making the fair success
from an educational and interest
ing angle.

Public Schools Exhibit

For the first time in several
years the Sank Centre Public

it. Four departments were repre-
sented-home economics, music,
high school and grades, predomi-
mated. The Home Economic de-
partment is supervised by Miss
Alice Miller, of st. Paul. They were
arranged by Miss Miller, Misses

sisted of dresses, lingerie and chill
dren's clothing.
An interesting exhibit was the
model farm home in one corner of
the building built by the Riddles of
the kindergarten department under
the supervision of the Normal
Training department.
The walls were covered with
hand-illustrated booklets, made by
the history, geography, hygiene,
music, and English classes of the
grades and high schools. Five min

School Health
School is about to start for an
other year. Have you protected
your child against diphtheria? The
time to protect the child is in the
early years, before the school age
is best. The procedure is relatively
inexpensive and will not cause the
loss of any time from school. When
was your child vaccinated against
Small Pox? Check up and have
these measures carried out and
then forget Diptheria and Sm.ll
Pox.
Industrial Training
Due to the fact that the cost per
pupil in the industrial department
was so high it was decided by the
Board of Education to close the
department this year with the ex-
ception of the Seventh and Eighth
grade woodworking. The balance
of the instructors time will be given
to teach subjects in the Junior and
Senior High Schools OF relieve the
heavy teaching load. This change
in the industrial work was made
in complete harmony with the State
Department of Education. It will
give us an opportunity to study the
situation as to the demand for
Freshman and Sophomore work.
kindergarten
This year both divisions of Kin
dergarten will meet in the morn
ing. The other half day will be
given over to reading help to be
given to the slow pupils. Miss Bye
will be the remedial teacher. Be-
cause of the many weaknesses in
reading discovered this past year
it has become expedient to get
help to remedy this situation. 1t is
imperative, that good school work
and CONSTANT school progress
must have a good reading basis.
The time for both divisions to meet
will be arranged later.
Notice to Local Business Firms
An bills incurred by the school
should be presented on or before
the first of each month for prompt
payment otherwise the bills will be
held over for payment the follow
ing month. I will appreciate your
cooperation in this matter.
Appreciation
It has been a pleasure to work
with the school patrons and to have
cooperated with them. It has been
a pleasure to work with the Board
of Education and I have appreciat-
ed their interest in school affairs.
The faculty of the Sank Centre
Public Schools stands ready to
serve and cooperate with the par
ents. May this coming school year
be still more profitable one for
all concerned. w. A. Kohl, Supt.
