Sandstone will have what might
be called a stunt night on Monday
evening, Nov. q. Several different
organizations in the village will per-
form or put on some stunt" at the
opera house. These will be judged
by a committee and three prizes
awarded. Following the entertain
ment there will be lunch and dancing
in the basement of the Masonic tenn
pie, next door to the opera house. AS
announced elsewhere in this issue the
entire evening costs only 35 cents.
Miss Sigrid Petersen, daughter of
Rasmus Petersen of this village and
until recently employed in the C. R.
Petersen general mercantile store.
was married at Dagmar. Mont, on
November 1, to Fred WHITTIER of near
that place. The groom is known to
several here since he has made a
number of visits in this community.
The couple will live on the groom's
homestead near Dagmar and their
friends in the Askov community wish
them we'll in their journey together
through life.
Hunting season had not advanced
many hours Tuesday when Jens P. Bic
almost bagged his first deer. He was
on his way to town via truck with
rutabagas and just as he came near
the S. Chr. DiXen driveway north of
town a deer jumped into the road
in front of his truck. If he had not
set his brakes he possibly would have
done better toward a seasons kill
than many other hunters who will
tramp over the woods for days, but
Mr.. Bic did not desire to pick any
quarrel with a deer and especially
not when it confronted his truck so
thereupon set his brakes with the
result that the impact was light. At
that the deer went limping on his way
and Mr.. Bic continued his journey
into ASkov.
The Askov independent basketball
team has been struggling along for
the past two or three years without
q definite name which it could call
its own. The management of the
team has at last decided that that
situation must cease and now offers
a season complimentary ticket to all
the teams home games for the best
name submitted to Frank Grafelman,
business manager, on or before De-
cember 1. Team members will be the
judges and their decision as to the
winner will be final. This is an op-
portunity for fans, who have seen
this team play during recent seasons,
to show their interest by offering a
name. Any such name as "The
Comets" Wildcats" or like names
may be offered and who knows one
of these might be the winner.
The local Red Cross drive for men,
bers will continue until Thanksgiving
day with Mrs. A. Henriksen as chair
man of the committee in charge. So
far they report a membership of 30.
At this time when citizens of the
community are asked to become men,
bers it may be we'll to recall few
of the activities of the local unit last
year. Donations and the proceeds
from their entertainment last year
were used entirely for local relief
"a families were aided. Christmas
baskets were sent out and many toys
repaired and given to children. Old
clothes was gathered, cleaned, re-
sewed and distributed to those who
needed same; much new clothes was
sewed and distributed; eight quilts
were made. Now an emergency chest
has been realized, this consists of
gowns, bedding and sick room neces-
stiles, and will be used in case of
sickness where needed. With the
few dollars contributed locally, surely
much is accomplished. Consider these
activities when the committee asks
you to join.
