ON PRISON PROJECT

The Citizens committee for the pro-
posed federal prison at Sandstone is
leaving no stones unturned in their
determination to secure the federal
project for their community. Be-

nor Floyd B. Olson kilograms and
letters have been sent by the State
Board of Control and several indi-
viduals ranking high in state and
national affairs, to Washington, urg-
ing the location and construction of
the prison at Sandstone.
Of late there has been much cor
respondence with Congressman Einar
Ho1dale, and j. F. Hawley, a member
OF the Citizens committee, has been
notified that the project has been GER
titled by the Sterilization Board to
the public works administrator, DON

Jack Cunningham, Sturgeon Lake
scatter shot artist visited the Breezy
Point championship shoot over the
weekend and made such a showing
in defense of his past records that
several of the visiting gunners there
possibly would have been just as we'll
pleased if he had not been present.
Jack, who won state championship
honors in the clay pigeon shooting
pastime last year, won the Breezy
Point trophy on Saturday and then
tied for the diamond badge trophy on
Sunday, the second day of the shoot
with a score of 40 out of so. He,
however, lost in the shootoff in this
match by missing three of the next
25 birds while his opponent was TAX
ing all but one of his.
On the third day Jack continued his
narrowing of the country's best gun
ners by smashing 1913 out of 200 birds
to take second high and on the fourth
day he broke SO out of 100 birds in
each of the singles and doubles
matches.
Jack was second high in all around
championship shooting of the meet.

WaltOnianS Feast
At Finlayson

About 100 people attended and par
took of the delicious banquet spon-
sored by the Finlayson chapter of the
Izaak Walton League of America held
at the community hall Tuesday eve
ming. The banquet prepared by the
able cooks of the Peace Lutheran
Ladies' Aid of Finlayson was very
much enjoyed as were the speeches
by local and visiting speakers as well
as the singing of that excellent enter
tainer, Bob Geehan, the singing game
warden of St. Paul. Many of the
guests were from nearby towns, Sand
stone, Mora and Moose Lake.
Immediately following the dinner
the program was gotten under way by
the able POSTMASTER, Frederic G.
Brandes. A brief address of welcome
was delivered by the chapter secre-
tary Emil Kukkola, this was followed
by an address by the chapter presi-
dent, V. e. Shafer, who very ably gave
good account of the activities of
the local chapter and revealed the
plans to be followed in the future in
conservation work in the community.
A treat long to be remembered by
all who were present was the WON
derful singing of Bob Geehan as we'll
as the many interesting things he had
to say, including many jokes brought
out in true Irish fashion. Bob was
assisted in his part of the program
by his able accompanist, Mrs. Geehan
at the piano. More humor was added
to the activities when DR.. w. T. Pear
son was called upon and he responded
with a talk, Grow meat" following
with several good stories.
The principal speaker of the eve
ming was A. c. Hanson of the Mime
sofa conservation department and edi-
tor of Minnesota Conservationist. He
delivered one of his usual forceful
lectures on conservation work in Min
nesota
The evenings entertainment was to
have been concluded with movies but
this part of the program had to be
eliminated because of a rising storm
which cut off the supply of electricity,
making it impossible to operate the
picture machine. 1t is the plan of
the local Waltonians to have Mr.. Han
son return at some future date to
show the pictures and deliver another
OF his fine conservation talks here.
