other nations.
We ourselvs only export five per

MILESTONE IN CAREER IF RAYMOND MANTHE
 WAS REACHED TODAY

Exactly 21 years ago today Ray mond Manthey, son of MT and Mrs. G. E. Manthey, was born in Seward and the arrival of this milestone in the career of this fine young man, was the signal for congratulations from his host of pals and friends.

 Ray, during his school years, was star athlete and continues so to this day, even though old age is beginning to enfold him; ah hem!
 Anyhow, congratulations, Ray, and may many more happy ami versaries be observed here in the Northland.
