Meet
Held Last
Thurs, Eve.
Committee Named To Gather
Facts and Figures To
Present To Public
ANOTHER MEET LATER
ERA Heads Explain Con-
struction Plans Under
DIV Government Provision

A mass meeting Of the citizens Of
this city was held last Thursday
evening In the Community Club
rooms. The meeting was called for
the purpose Of discussing the erec-
ton Of new city hall. During the
course Of the evening the construc-
ton Of a new school building also
entered the discussion. 1850. ......
President Scott, Of the Commun-
ity Club. called the meeting to or
der and after stating the purpose
Of the session, called on Frank
Pangburn, president Of the City
Council. Mr.. Pangburn stated that
II was the desire Of the members
Of the council to get opinions Of
the public relative TO the construc-
ton Of a new city hall building.
G. J. Knudson, county ERA en-
gineer; J. d. Mackenzie, county
disbursing officer; Louis Pinault,
architect; Joseph Lepinski, project
inspector, and Conrad Nelson. dir
ector Of rural rehabilitation, all OF
st. Cloud. were present.
Mr.. Knudson explained the part
projects stating that the govern
ment furnished all labor on public
construction. He further stated
that all skilled labor on relief can
be used on this work, but skilled
labor not on relief will be paid only
percent of the total labor bill by
the government. Thus on a $4,000
project the government will pay
500 for non-relief skilled labor.
Sank Centre having little skilled
labor on relief will either have to
pay them or submit to an importa-
ton Of skilled labor from the re-
lief rolls Of other nearby sections.
Supt. Kohl was called on and he
presented some salient facts re-
garding crowded conditions in the
school, and the necessity Of q new
school building. He gave many rea-
sons for the crowded condition, one
Of them being that the state has
heightened the periods from 45 to
90 minutes, cutting the classes
from 8 to 6. Thus, as many pupils
formerly In eight classes were put
into six. Then physical education,
which is provided for by law, for
each pupil on certain days Of the
week, has cut the periods TO s in
stead OF six. There are certain
rules set down as to seating space
by the state, In the matter Of fire
and health. On that plan the jun
Tor High assembly should seat 176.
but 10 more have been added. He
stated that the situation In the
Senior High Is no less acute.
Mr.. Kohl stated that II the rural
schools cut their system from TO
8 grades, which he thinks likely,

Health Subjects as Taught
and Fostered By Our School

TO keep the well-child well.
First Of all we are trying to In
terest the child himself in attain
ing and holding good health. Our
maxim stresses actual doing
rather than idealistic theory, utii-
izing real experiences In the life
Of the child For example our six
weeks Weighing periods are good
teaching tool for this reason. We
explain to the children that con-
sistent loss or gain In weight,
which he can watch for himself,
means something because II re-
fleets to a certain extent, his own
health habits. The children take
great interest In gaining weight,
and, in improving health habits,
rest, sleep. play, better diet we
achieve more than IL shown by the
gain in weight alone, which may
mean little In itself. We utilize our
vision and hearing tests also TO se-
cure the interest Of the child in his
health. The value Of our vision test
IL intensified II, after the test, we
explain methods Of conserving
vision, good lighting, no glare,
well-baIanced recreation and rest.
Our teaching on the effects Of re-
curing colds, sore threats and
ear-aches on hearing, II just as
valuable, and perhaps more valua-
BILE than our devices for screening

Young Lad
Accidentally
Shot Sunday
Sylvester Wiener Passed A.
way IL Hours After

20 Calibre Bullet Entered
Back of Head-Lodged
Above Right Ear

Sylvester Wiener, youngest son

who reside in the Getty Grove COM
munity, about nine miles south OF
Sank Centre, passed away Sunday
afternoon at 1854 o'clock, as the
result Of being accidentally shot
while rabbit hunting.
The accident occurred Sunday
afternoon at about 4:30, while Syl-
vester and his brother, Adolph
Wiener, and three companions,
Alois Rouslang and Arnold and
Math Selinski, were hunting about
a quarter Of mile north Of the
Wiener home.
The boys had several rabbits, but
up to that time Sylvester had had
no luck. He asked for a shot at the
next rabbit and when the oppor-
tunity came. he knelt to the ground
and fired. He missed the rabbit
and his brother, Adolph, who was
behind him, attempted a shot. At
that moment Sylvester arose to his
feet, he was in the line of fire, and
the bullet from % calibre rifle
entered the back of his head and
lodged at the rear and above the
right eye. Medical aid was immed-
lately summoned, but the young
man was beyond help. From that
time until he passed away at 5:H
he was unconscious. ..-
This sad tragedy was purely ac-
cidental-one Of those unaccount-
able occurrences which brings
great sadness to all concerned.
Sylvester Wie.ier was born at the
Getty Grove farm home on Dec
ember 9Th, 1927, and was Is years
old at the time Of death. He was
the youngest Of eight chi dren born
to Mr.. and Mrs. Martin Wiener.
Sylvester was member s-of the
eighth grade Of the Getty Grove
school. He was bright and active,
and made friends with all whom he
came in contact. He was fine,
manly young fellow, and will be
greatly missed by everyone in that
community.
Besides the bereaved parents, he
is survived by three brothers and
four sisters. The brothers are: Fer
dinand. Otto and Adolph, all at
home. The sisters are: Lucine, who
Is employed in the Austin High
School; Sr. Christine, o. s. F., who
is at st. Francis Convent, Little
Falls: Leone, who attends high
school in this city, and Martha, at
home.

Locals Take Second Win of
Season In Well Played
Game
SHOWED IMPROVEMENT
Will Play Fast Glenwood
Team There This
Thursday Evening

Last Friday evening the local
basketball squad came through
with their second win out Of three
games played when they defeated
"a strong Upsala veteran team by
the score Of % to 10. The boys of
both teams played a good game.
and the last gun came just after
Upsala scored their last basket.
The first quarter started off with
Keldahl getting the tip-off easily
to keep 1t throughout the game.
Upsala started the fire works with
free shot, and then Bud Carpen.
ter tied the score with a free shot
for the locals. Play was not so fast
nor so erratic as the game with
Swanville. Both teams seemed to
be feeling out their opponents and
taking 1t easy. John Dubois came
through with q free shot, and put
the local quint ahead by one point.
Kelly netted the first field goal of
the game when he shot a nice pivot
shot from the man in the hole pos
ition. "a few minutes later he again
tossed in goal. The locals exc
cuted some beautiful plays, but
they were off on their shooting.
The quarter ended with the locals
on top Of 6 to score.
The second quarter started off
with a faster pace, and Mason, Up
sala center and veteran player,
scored their first field goal. Thus
far the centers had copied all the
goals. In the second quarter the 10
Gals executed their best passing.
Orville received the tip off COM
ing down fast, and streaked down
the floor to make a goal for the
locals. Schultz, Thompson, and Ma
son added three field goals and
four free shots to the visitors score
to outscore the locals In the second
stanza leaving US, however, on the
long end Of a 1910 score at the
close Of the half.
Each team missed shot as the
third quarter got under way.
Brown came through with a field
goal as he streaked under the bask-
ct to receive the pass from Kel-
dahl at the center position. KEEL
dahl netted his last field goal Of the
game, and intercepted pass mid
way on the floor only to miss the
shot. During this period both
teams franticaliy peppered the
bangboard but only seemed able to
to connect for fair percentage Of
their shots. Dubois finally came
through with a field goal, and Ma
SON retaliated with a goal as the
quarter ended with the locals hay-
ing a substantial lead, 10 to Is.
