Two North Country
Accidents This Week

Two rather bad accidents occur
red in the north country this week.
Wednesday Mr.. and Mrs. Ferd
Zerbe and two children were driv-
ing along the road in a truck. They
had a COW in the box of the truck.
The car lurched and the COW lost
her footing, being thrown against
the side of the box with such force
that it overturned the truck. All
of the occupants of the truck were
cut and bruised considerably, but
Donald the 4-year old son was cut
the worst.
Sunday Alvin Hagen, Is, and the
Scourey young people, Ronald,
James and Mary Ellen, were out
for a drive. The car ran into a
washout ditch, and in attempting
to get back onto the grade, young
Hagen turned it quickly, and the
car overturned. All of them were
more or less cut and bruised, but
apparently NO bones were broken.
Mary Ellen Securely was the worst
hurt, being badly cut by glass,a and
having her back wrenched.

ED BEST EVER GWEN
MANY ATTEND

One of the finest Memorial day
.o~bservances ever held in Wolf
Point was that Monday at the Lib
eerty theatre, the use of which was
donated by Mrs. Severson for the
occasion. AS large a crowd as could
be packed into the theatre was
there to hear the program. Many
people from the country, from both
sides of the river, attended, as
well as the school children and
townspeople.
Following the flag raising cere-
mony on the school grounds the
students marched through town,
around Memorial park and to the
theatre. The high school band
played an opening march, after
which Fl. N. Marion introduced
Rev. c.. w. Orner of Poplar, who
gave the address of the day. Rev.
Orner, himself an ~eX-service man,
spoke on the memories which the
day awakened in the hearts of all,
and said that the most fitting
memorial which could be given
those soldiers who gave their life
or their health in the world war,
would be to work for world peace.
He said that the men who fought
in the World War did so not be-
cause they were fighting men, but
because they wanted peace and be-
lieved it was a war to end war. II
