In Face Sunday

Herbert Newman, 14-year-old
brother of Highway Patrolman
Robert Newman, of this city, was
killed in a hunting accident near
Gushing, Mimi, Sunday about noon.
AS near as the Herald has been
able to ascertain Herbert was hunt
ing with his father who was some
distance away. Everything appears
to indicate that he laid his gun
down on the ground to climb thru
a fence. He was apparently about
thru when he leaned over to pick
up the fireman taking hold of it
by the barrel, when it discharged,
the charge striking Herbert full in
the face, killing him instantly. He
was found by his father a few min
utes after the accident happened.
The remains were taken to the
family home at Wadena. The fun
eral was held from st. AIMS Cath
Ollie church in that city Wednesday
morning at 900 o'clock.
Mr.. and Mrs. Robert Newman, of
this city went to Wadena Sunday
afternoon. They are expected to
return this Thursday morning.
Little Bob was cared for during
his parents absence by Mrs. New
mans sister, Miss Evelyn Broun-
sey, who happened to arrive in Sank
Centre Saturday evening enroute
to her home in Wadena from Chi
cago.

German language and has for his
topic: "Dr. Martin Luther, a True
Witness Of the Gospel of Jesus
Christ, and Professor Martin
Graebner, of Concordia College, in
st. Paul, who will conduct the af-
ternoon service, beginning at 100
o'clock in the English language.
The speaker has for his tpic: THE
Great Principles of the Reforma-
ton and their Present-day Applica-
cation" The speaker will trace the
history of the great reformer from
his birth on November 10, 1883,
through his great work of reform
ing the church, which he actively
began on October 81, 1917, when no
publicly challenged the church to
correct certain abuses and doc
trines, by means of the .95 sentenc-
es he nailed to the door of his
church in Wittenberg, Germany.
The speaker will lead his audi
ence through the long fight on the
part Of the reformer for the prin-
ciples of liberty; liberty Of con-
science, the right of every man to
believe as he would, liberty Of
speech, and the complete separation
of church and state. Those pres
ent will be reminded that Luther is
today looked upon as the father Of
public education of the masses and
that the principles he contended for
are those upon which democratic
institutions are built. The applica-
ton Of these principles to present
day conditions will lead the speak
er to plead for a thorough appreci-
ton OF the great work of the re-
former. ...-

ed in the territory in which the
hunters will shoot.
Hunters should exercise the ut
most care in determining that their
bullets will not carry into country

We got our requirements early in

about 10 miles north of Virginia
Wonderful place.
We left Wanless Camp at 900 the
morning Of Oct. 20, and arrived
here at 500 that evening. Quite a
relief for the boys to get out Of
canvas and under a roof. The tents
are all right in the summer but
when snow flies wooden barracks
looks quite palatid. We had quite
a bit Of snow before we left Wan
less but none Of the boys complain
ed.
The camp is located on the coun-
ty highway about IL miles off
State Highway No. II. Good roads
all the way from here to Duluth
and other points. Our sub-district
Headquarters are located at Inter
national Falls. Wanless was in the
East Superior sub-district and now
we are located in the International
Falls sub-district.
The camp was nearly completed
when we arrived but the civilian
carpenters, plumbers, laborers, ETC.,
were laid off and the job complet-
ing the camp is up to the CCC boys
and they can do it to.
There are four barracks with a
capacity Of so men each, a large
mess hall, shower and bathhouse,
officers quarters, hospital supply
room, cooks quarters, recreation
hall, company headquarters build
ing and a large garage for the
trucks.
The barracks are 120x22 so each
man has plenty Of space. There Is
a very large fire place in the re-
creation hall and in the officers

Mrs. Whitson
and Children
inCar Wreck
New Chrysler Eight Landed
In Ditch Near Big Lake
Friday Morning
NONE WERE INJURED
Car Was Badly Wrecked
-Enroute to New Home
At Mason City, Iowa

Last Friday morning Mrs. L. w.
Whitson, accompanied by her son,
John, and daughter, Margaret, left
for their new home at Mason City,
Iowa. The lady was driving a
brand new Royal Eight Chrysler.
Mr.. Whitson had preceded her to
Mason, City to get the new home
in readiness.
When the lady reached a point
near Big Lake, the car skidded on
the slippery pavement and landed
on its right side in a four-foot
ditch. Fortunately neither Mrs.
Whitson nor her children were in
jured, except for minor bruises.
The lady was able to proceed to
her new home with the car after
she was extricated from the ditch
The top of the Chrysler was en-
tfrely crushed in; one side in the
rear was caved in; one tire was cut
off, one Of the lamps was gone as
was one of the horns.
A letter received by Dewey
O'Gara from Lynn, said, in part:
I could not believe it was the same
car. It is the worst looking thing
you ever saw. Paints all gone. The
steel body undoubtedly saved the
lives of Mrs. Whitson and the
children. The garage men of Ma
son City have agreed to thorough
ly repair and replace the damage
for $3.50. After all, aside from
wreckage, it's damn good looking
|car.-Lynn.
When word reached the city of
the accident the many friends of
the family were concerned over the
condition of Mrs. Whitson, John
and Margaret. They were indeed
gratif1ed to learn they had escaped
injury.

EVERY ACTOR A STAR
Supt. w. A. Kohl Composed
the Music, Miss Madelon

Friday evening of last week a
capacity audience of nearly 1000
thoroughly enjoyed 1.-THE Candy
makers Dream" produced by the
students of the Sank Centre Public
Schools at the Junior High audi
torium-
The production had a special
significance for Sank Centre folks
because the operetua was the brain
child of Supt. w. A. Kohl, COM
poser of the music; Madelon Pow
ers, librettist. Mrs. Kohl, ably as
sisted her husband in checking ar
rangement of the melodic content,
range and pitch of the musical
numbers.
The scene of the operetta was
laid in a run down candy kitchen
in the late afternoon. There was
enough of a love story thread TO
carry the production.
With Mr.. Kohl at the piano Oscar
Dowswell sang "Cherie I Love
YOU" and I'm the Valley Of the
Moon" between the first and sec.
ond acts. Mr.. Dowswell has most
of the artists singing over the
radio backed off the boards when
it comes to ineligible enunciation
and clearness of tone.
Between the second and final
acts Miss Swope, of the School fac
ulty, rendered "IYl See You Again"
and my Lover is a Fisherman"
The lady has an unusually fine
contralto voice which she uses to
the best advantage.
At the conclusion of Miss Swope's
songs a loud cry went up for auth
ors, authors. Mr.. Kohl and Miss
Powers appeared and modestly
made their bows.
Miss Boobar. the schools director
of music was in direct charge of
the presentation of this smoothly
running and very entertaining pro-
duction.
