Last Sunday had the appearance of
being a general inspection day at the
community park at Kettle river as
far as the attendance goes, for there
was a steady stream of visitors the
entire day. That's fine and as it
should be, but the point that the COM
mittee in charge has asked to have
your attention called to is this: Ev-
erything is there for you to enjoy,
but do not take it home with you.
Be sure that you leave the plants,
shrubs, trees, ferns, benches, tables,
seats, etc., there so others can come
to the park after you and enjoy it
also. Donations are not coming in to
the committee as fast as they should;
remember it is right now that the
tersen now and do your part-the
complete list will be published again
next week.
The grand and glorious Fourth
opened here with the customary
steady and sometimes hard rain, but
in spite of the gloomy outlook in the
morning, by noon the day was per-
feet and remained so. At least 500
gathered in the local park for the
climax of the entertainment program
an address by Alfred C. Nielsen
from Iowa. Mr.. Nielsen brought out
many good points along the economic
problem that faces the people today.
The speaker said that the only thing
that we can be certain about is that
there will be changes; whether these
changes be for better or for worse,
time will tell; that which will seem
like good changes for the masses may
not seem SO good for the few; what
seems beneficial for the employe may
not seem so good to the employer
and so on; but above all said Mr.. Mel
sen, do not permit yourself to be
fooled, seek out the facts from all
sources, available, use good common
sense, and remember that it is through
education of the masses that better
conditions must be secured for the
masses. And there was singing by
the male chorus, music by the band
and Mrs. Henriksen's string orchestra,
coffee and lunch, and many social
visits and chats. At 4:30 came the
big event of the afternoon-a kitten
ball game between the Minneapolis
Co-ops. and Askov all stars; very lit
tie shall be said about the game, how
ever the all-stars appeared nervous
and made SO many errors the first two
innings that the visitors made five
runs on one hit. The game really
turned out to be good entertainment
rather than a contest for the Askov
hitters were simply helpless against
the Co-ops pitcher, and by the way
that pitcher was the whole show
the rest of the team didn't have ar
opportunity to show their ability as
the Askov hitters (or rather batters)
whitfield the air as fast as they got
up there. During the evening there
was a big dance in the d. B. s. hall
