SENIOR CLASS
PLAY PLEASES

crowd which literally packed the
Lincoln school auditorium Friday
evening when the senior class play,
Three Strikes-You're Out" was
staged witnessed the finest presenta-
tion in Redwood Falls in several
years.
Such was the assertion of many as
they filed out after the final curtain
Outstanding in her role was Miss
Melba Routhe who played the part of
a maid in Zasu Pitts style. Her
speech and her clever gesticulating
were sufficient to keep the audience
in continuous laughter but her stride
as she walked from one side of the
room to the other added materially
to the role.
Wallace Lauterbach who took the
part of Dizzy Wynne, sensational
baseball player until he struck out in
the most important game and Ruth
Wingate as Lois Phelps who finally
secured the baseball franchise added
the necessary zip to make the farce
comedy go off rapidly as it should.
Lois Sorenson as Mrs. Samuel
Phelps and Everett McCuskey as her
husband took their parts effectively.
Mrs. Phelps ignorance of baseball
and Mr.. Phelps Impotence with Dir
zy Wynne provided entertainment for
all. .slta
Marion Cannot and Lindale Berg
who took the roles of Mr.. and Mrs.
Edward Potter were excellent. Others
in the cast who contributed like pro-
fessionals to make the play one of
the best ever given here were Harold
Moldestad, Lorraine Claussen, Mel
vile Miller and Edwina Foreman.
Miss Lucille Sturdevant coached
the production.

Says Practice Must Be
Stopped.

Resumption of the drive against

overnight Tuesday night at State
Police Station No. 3, at Dover. and
the State Road Station, No. 2. at
State Road. Twenty-one trucks
were tied up over night at Dover
and FIVE at State Road because the
drivers had been driving continu-
ously more than eight hours.
Many of the drivers, Superinten-
dent of State Police c. C.. Reynolds
said had been driving for as long as
"a and 36 hours continuously. The
law provides that the drivers can
drive eight hour continuously. can
then take two hours rest and drive
for six hours more. but II they drive
more than IA hours in is hours. they
must stop and rest for eight hours.
These men have been driving too
long" Mr.. Reynolds said, and we
have to do something about it. Some
have been stopping before they
reach the State police stations as
they know the hours they have been
driving will be checked. They have
been pulling of to the side of the
road and sleeping, Others look
sleepy and. show signs Of INSULT
cient rest. It's unsafe for them
and other motorists IL they drive

It is argued that rest days are
essential to good hunting conditions
where there are large bodies of wa
ter with natural feed, to which the
public has access, and that the po-
licing of such areas differs greatly
from Delaware conditions which
consist chiefly of widely scattered
marshes, many of them being mac
cessible on high tides. Also there is
a vast difference in the feeding and
flight habits of the principal specie
of migratory ducks visiting Della
ware and some of its bordering
states annually. Therefore. the
methods of hunting and the para
phernalia used vary.
Contrary to the general belief.
