Cut-Over of
New System
ThisEvenin9
Friday Morning Local Tele-
phone Users May Call
Without Ringing
WORK STARTED AUG. |
New Switchboard and Other
Equipment Installed at
Cost Of $11, 900

Thursday night, October 18th, the
work Of changing over the present
telephone system in Sank Centre to
the new common battery system
will be completed, and the cut-over
and the cut-over will be made in
will be made in the Central Office
some time around midnight, it was
announced by Manager Forsyth.
Friday morning Sank Centre tele-
phone users who want to place a
call will need only to lift the re-
ceiver on their telephone and
when the operator answers give her
the number of the telephone they
wish to reach.
Work in preparation for the in
stallation of the new common bat
terry service was started August LIST
and since that time six men of the
Telephone Company and the West
ern Electric Company have been at
work installing a new switch board
and associated central office equip
ment.
The telephone instruments at
subscribers premises will be
changed to the new type within the
next three weeks, but this change
will have no effect on the service,
as the present instruments have
been equipped to be used in the
common battery system until such
time as they are replaced.
The change to common battery
service is being made at this time
because the present equipment had
about reached the end of its service
life and it was necessary to replace
it in order that the company may
keep on furnishing reliable and ade-
auate telephone service in Sank
Centre. The new telephone system
has required an expenditure Of
about $1,000.
The actual cut-over tonight will
be in charge of Manager Forsyth.
Officials Of the Northwestern Bell
Telephone Company from st. Cloud
and Minneapolis will also be in at
tendance.
Manager Forsyth stated that
while the public is always welcome
to visit the Central Office at any
time he is planning to hold a spec
ial open-house within the near flu
ture at which time arrangements
will be made to show visitors the
new equipment and also the new
office quarters which have been
completely redecorated and re- ar
ranged to make business contacts
at the office more convenient for
our customers. The dates for the
open house will be announced
shortly.

Proposal For
Widening of
Third Str Get
Property Owners Favorable
Relief Necessary In Park
ing Cars
CIRCULATE PETITION
Work Can Be Done AS Relief
Measure, Without AS
sesSment

IA group of Third Street property
owners were present at special
meeting of the Council Monday eve
ming, held in the Community Club
rooms, for the purpose of consider
ing plans for the proposed widen
ing of Third Street.
Attorney L. L. Kells in stating
the purpose of the meeting said
that the Council recognized the
gravity of the parking situation on
Third Street and recommended
three possible solutions. The first
of these was parallel marking, the
second no parking and the third to
widen the street.
Mr.. Kells also stated, while on
the subject of widening the street,
that the reason for the delay in fol-
lowing up the Councils order rela-
tive to the extension built on the
sidewalk at the Dirnberger corner,
on Third Street, was due to the
fact that a doctor stated that Mrs.
Dirnberger, in whose name the
property is listed, was i'll and that
papers should not be served on her.
City Clerk J. F. Cooper, as a
estate, said that in the early days
of Sank Centre, Third Street was
the essential business street of the
city, but owing to the width of
Main Street business was attracted
that way. Property owners on
Third Street had wider street in
mind, when they set their buildings
back seven feet from the original
road.
Each property owner was asked
for his opinion; all appearing in
favor of wider street, with the ex-
ception of three. Al Salmond stat
ed that parallel parking would
solve the problem; G. I. Dobbs re-
fused to make any statement; JOS.
Dirnberger believed it was a good
plan to widen Third Street west of
Main Street, but not east of Main
Street.
1t was then decided to circulate
a petition pertaining to this matter,
and the Messrs. s. Schwarzbauer,
G. Hillerud and Jos. Miller respond
ed as volunteers.
President Pangburn stated it was
the opinion of the Council that
should that body be petitioned to
widen Third Street, the work could
be done as relief measure, and
without assessing property owners
along Third Street.
City Attorney L. L. Kells was in
structed to draft the necessary Pc
tition for circulation.

Therefore young people should re-

will serve to guide them in dealing
with these fundamental considera-
tons.
There is but little doubt that the
readers of this article realize all
too well the great Importance of
these subjects in any High School
curriculum. You also realize the
relationship they have to each
other and to the many other sub
jects that are included in any
course of study. Although science
and athletics could be linked to-
gether into one topic and treated as
such, prefer to treat them sep
arately. In that case I will refer
to Science, not that believe it Is
more important, but that more may
be interested in that phase of this
article.
AS everyone knows there are
many phases and fields of Science
today. This of course brings out
many viewpoints and has caused
much argument as to the more inn

that may disagree on some OF the

Therefore may I say that the fields

Coach E. Harvey Prepares
Fifth Article of Series On
Educational Activities

In. ancient times there was very
little distinction between the scien-
ces for the knowledge of science
was limited. Until modern times,
the general term natural history
was in common use to describe the
study of all life whether plants or
animal, while the natural philoso-
ply or physics included the study of
inorganic phenomena AS scientific
knowledge increased more and
more definite classification be-
came necessary. Today the scien-
ces are divided and subdivided and
a student is now able to specialize
in a single subdivision of a science.
General Science had it's origin in
the High School curriculum in the
latter years of the 18th century. It
was thought that the highly special
lied science which was taught at
that time was not suited to the in
terests and needs of the pupils.
What was needed was something
that would help pupils to under
stand and interpret the facts of
their own environment.
Scientific knowledge is closely re-
lated to most of the essential
phases of modern life such as

Long Prairie
Badly Beaten
In Foot Ball
Improved Sank Centre Eleven
Romps Away With Six
Touchdowns
FINAL SCORE 80 TO SIX
Fast Starbuck Outfit Will
Play On Local Grid
Next Friday

Last Friday it didn't rain, but
the Sank Centre team raked to-
gether 80 points in it's best brand
of football this season; while the
visitors, Long Prairie, were able to
take home with them only points
on the short end of the score.
The boys trotted onto the field
chattering and with a lot of that
ginger they displayed in the Foley
game. On the kick off Long Prai-
rie received and, finding that their
running plays would not penetrate
our line, were forced to kick. The
locals recovered the ball and ran it
to their own % yard line. From
that point they started the march
down the field. Play after play
found them nearer the opponents
goal line. After six and a half
minutes of play the boys had
marched II yards to make the first
touchdown. AL Brown carried the
ball on the touchdown play. That
started the fireworks; the boys had
tasted blood" Early in the Sec
ond stanza of the game fullback
Scanlon logged the pigskin, tear
ing through gap in the line that
his lineman had made for him, for
the second touchdown The try for
after point was good. On one of
the touchdowns Al carried the ball
| for fifty yards for touchdown be-
hind the most beautiful interior
ence that the locals have had the
pleasure to give us for long time.
/ Well, after we had chalked up
80 points, Long Prairie decided to
take things in hand which they did
in the fourth quarter, but too late.
The visiting lads put up a very good
show for awhile and pushed the To-
cal team back until they were in
position to score. A Long Prairie
back romped with the ball over the
goal line, but their try for after
point was no good.
The Sank Centre team looked the
strongest that they have looked this
year. Beaten badly in the first
two games the boys started their
rally in the Foley game when they
played a strong team to a scoreless
tie. The rally continued when they
beat Long Prairie 80 to 6. Checking
on yardage gained by running from
line formations which excludes run
! ming back punts and gains on
passes we have a total of 127 yards
for Long Prairie, and 273 yards
chalked UP by the home boys.
Next week the Starbuck eleven
travels to our city where the locals
will tangle with a strong team = a
team that has beaten the boys in
previous years. With the season at
the mid-mark the boys still trail
in spite of their gallant rally. Their
opponents have chalked up 20
points against us, while the locals
have crossed the enemies goal
line for only As points. Come on
boys, let's pile them up against
Starbuck next Friday!
The starting hneups were as fol-
lows.
