The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1934-03-22

Redwood Falls is this week basking in the lime
light of sports publicity thanks to the efforts of
painstakng coach and group of boys who spent many
hours developing their basketball ability, remembering
at the time to meet scholastic requirements ana
live so as be able to give their fullest energy when
needed
Few more distant from these boys than their par
ents will realize how much effort it takes to win
district and regional title At times it is not love OF the
game that keeps these boys at practice grnds but the
joy of winning for the school and the city.
In regional and district Journeys, this team has
demonstrated superiority about Is teams It's dis
trict title alone something Of which it could be
highly proud The regional title mutplies the honor
by four and any place it may win in the state meet
will again gorify the teams position
We are confident that there is more success in
store for these boys and their COACH it is not unlikely
that if victorious tonight the team will battle through
the first state championship in the history Of the
city, Regardless Of what may be in store at Minneap
Oils the biggest celebration in the history of the city
should arranged for these boys when they arrive
home.

Particularly to persons in the newspaper business,
publicity seems Of tremendous Importance The head
lines obtained the city by this regional champion
the town on the map" in the eyes of thousands OF
persons to whom the city was just name or less.
Redwood Falls fans have an opportunity to i'm
prove this standing by fockng to the games in lar
ge numbers indicating that the town is alive and active
in support of it's boys 1t goes without saying that
craftsmanship of the fans well players leaves
lasting impression.
Looking over the schedule of games played by the
Appleton team it to the writer that here is
method of building up interest in basketball at the high
school prior to the tournament season. Neghboring
towns rvaries are crowd-get but they fall fiat
when the teams unevenly matched Besides variety
always add zest.
Appleton played Moorhead, which is long trip, in
home and home SERIES besides interstate games
with Milbank series two of games with teams in
other regions would give the fans and players the
opportunity to different styles of the game and
would make the latter at home when skill and
good fortune take them to state meet
-
After all is said and DONE it must be admitted that
the average small town editor is reasonable. He will
agree to almost any proposition which seems fair. He
will even suggest several propositions and let the
other fellow take his choice.
This oblging attitude is well illustrated by
item in the Tribune, published in Altoona, Kansas,
which says:
Anyone owing this paper is requested to call and
pay at Anyone not owing is requested to call
and subscribe and begin owing at Anyone
owing is requested to subscribe for this paper
in advance for the full of the debt and pay
another year in advance, cash. Anyone who is not
owing and will not do So is requested to to
North Dakota and make room for some who will"
County Agent Bovee's warning in this issue that
stragglers will hold up the corn-hog money not only
for themselves but for their neighbors reminds of

time is lost because someone is late in keeping
appointment how many committees wait long enough
to handle all the business at hand for tardy member
to appear, how much time is lost through large public
gatherings failing to start promptly yes and how
many steaks cold because member of the fam
lily is late for dinner Schools teach promptness
tinually but to forget it the schoohouse
doors swings shut behind us.
While the CWA program consisted of hiring more
men and approving new jobs to employ more men, ad-
ministrators were rushed but there were few
plants, naturally Just naturally when the program
ran its course and approving jobs stopped and firing
in order instead of firing, the complaints
thick and fast. If observations correct, the
CWA in this county has been splenddly handled. In
dividual of injustces undoubtedly have arisen
but far of that kind were imagined.
We are difficult nation to please We squawk
for economy in government and yell again when ec-
onomy measures hit close at home. The most recent
example here is the curtament of postal service Pen
urous these savings appear, the entire country
they amount to appreciate sum. We do not enjoy
getting less service and hope the Wednesday afternoon
delivery, at least, be restored. Nevertheless
cannot forget that it is just what asked for.
It is estimated that Of all the states, Minnesota
sent the sixth largest number of persons to the
worlds fair last summer. And 90 per cent Of them
visited the Streets Of Paris
