BASKETBALL,SPEED
SKATING PROJECTS
UNDER ERA PLAN
Beryl Bethke to Have Charge
of Sports Program in
Redwood County

Plans are underway by the State
Emergency Relief Administration to
provide a statewide competitive
sports program for the winter to ac-
commodate 10000 persons, the first
program of this kind ever attempted
in any state. Plans contemplate con-
tests in basketball, volleyball and
speed skating.
j. w. Crossett, state athletic sup
ervisor, will be in charge of the
games, which will continue through
the winter months and terminate in
the early spring.
Similar to high school basketball,
the state has been divided into dis
tricts and these in turn grouped into
regions. Basketball and volleyball
teams which survive the play in dis
trict and regional tournaments will
meet in state tournament the first
week in March in St. Paul. Similar
arrangements will be made for speed
skating, the finals to be held in Min
neapolis in February.
In Redwood county the program
will be under the direction of Beryl
Bethke, county ERA recreational di-
rector. A county league composed
of teams representing the various
towns will be formed in basketball
and volleyball and speed skating con-
tests will also be conducted.

TRAFFIC STARTS
ON NEW BRIDGE

Traffic on the new $4,000 Red
wood bridge was inaugurated Tues
day with the completion of the grad
ing and gravelling of the east and
west approaches. Paving work will
be done next spring in conjunction
with the parkway development pro-
ject.
The opening Of the bridge follows
six months of construction work dur
ing which the E. H. Bollum and Jo-
seph Peavey homes on the east side
Of the bridge were torn down to make
way for the approach and a new road
bed for highway 10 dug diagonally
across the lot between Second and
Bridge streets from Minnesota to
Mill streets. Construction of the ap-
proaches was done by the William
O'Neil Construction company OF
Faribault which also built the new
bridge. Little use is expected to be
made of the old bridge.

CHRISTMAS SEAL
DRIVE UNDERWAY

The annual Christmas seal drive
will get underway in Redwood Falls
Monday of next week when residents
of every section of the city and bust
ness men will be solicited by seal
workers.
Mayor H. D. Thorp issued pro-
clamation this week asking residents
to support the drive to eradicate
tuberculosis and then purchased the
first dollars worth of seals from
Mrs. Scott Schoen, 1884 seal chair
man for the city.
Although through funds provided
by the sale of seals the death rate
from tuberculosis has been cut down
considerably, the dread disease still
takes the lives of three Minnesota
persons each day of the year. 1t
kills 20 per cent more persons than
any other communicable disease, tax
ing $4,000 lives in the United States
last year.
Modern treatment of the disease
started in America in 1885. Today
there are $50 sanataria in the United
States. Much work was done in Red
wood county this year, including tub
erculin tests given to children in
many schools.
The four Redwood Falls women's
clubs have all purchased $3.50 or SIS
health bonds in connection with the
drive.

Redwood Falls May
Have ERA Ice Rink

Taking advantages Of an ERA
offer to construct and maintain skat-
ing Kinks, four Redwood county COM
munities have made applications at
the ERA office here. Meanwhile, pen
ding final Improvement, plans are al
so being made to construct rink in
Redwo0dFalls.
The four towns are Wanda, Lam
berton, Delhi and Walnut Grove. The
towns are required to furnish the To-
cation and water, while the ERA sup
plies the labor.
A $4,000 project for work in San
born park and the extension of the
Sanborn sewage system was approx
ed this week. The project will employ
20 men and is expected to be started
Friday of this week. A project for
the consolidation and revising OF
plats in the register of deeds office
was also sanctioned.

Townsend Pension
Club to be Organized
Meeting to be Held at SeafOrth
Friday; Candy Man to
Explain Plan

Redwood county persons who are
interested in the Townsend old age
pension plan will have an opportunity
to hear it explained and to join a
pension club Friday at 1880 p. m. at
the A. o. U. w. hall in Seaforth.
A. D. Allen of Candy, divisional
manager of the clubs now being for
med in this section, and others will
discuss the ramifcations of the plan.
Lars Grong, Seaforth insurance
man, announced the meeting.
DR.. Francis Everett Townsend,
whose name the plan bears, was born
in rural Illinois in 1867. At SO he
was graduated from the Nebraska
university medical school and began
practice in the Black Hills of South
Dakota. At So he moved to Califor-
MIA and continued practicing medi-
cine.
His plan, said to be the result of
his experience with human suffering,
is to pension everyone over 60 years
of age at 5000 per month provided
they have lived upright lives. The
pensioners must agree to work no
more at gainful or productive labor,
the theory being that this will open
jobs for millions Of young persons
Pensioners would be duty bound to
spend the entire 5000 every month.
This would put $2,000,000,000 in
circulation each month, stimulating
business, wages and industry. The
catch in the plan is the sales tax on
everything averaging about 10 per-
cent which would be required to fl
nance it.
Although it is highly improbable
than any such generous program will
be adopted, the speed with which the
idea has spread with clubs forming
in every state indicates a widespread
sentiment in it's favor and some form
of old age pension may result.
