crew, their seeming lack of any destina-
ton and the curious rigging with which
the boat was equipped caused more than
one puzzled river man to wrinkle his
brow in an effort to figure out the odd
looking craft and it's even odder be-
havior.
Usually the motor boat appeared to
be trailing what might have been an
oddly designed child's size canoe
through the water at the end of an
improvised outrigger which kept the
craft on leash abreast or little behind
those in the boat. The latter were men
of scholarly appearance who scrutinized
the water curling away from the stream
lined prov of the towed craft. Now and
then they made notes after quick COM
putationS with slide rules or readings
from instruments that revealed the speed
of the motor boat and the corresponding
towline tension.
Sometimes they spoke in English; at
other times there were long bursts of
rapid-fire RuSSian-a fact that puzzled
local observers not at ALL since they
needed only to raise their eyes to see the
big plant of the Sikorsky Aircraft Co.
on the bank of the HouSatonic. A few
onlookers were even able to identify one
of the most studious- looking men in the
boat as Igor Sikorsky, whom they knew
as a world famous aircraft designer.
But an even stranger sight was in
store. There came a day when the
and foot models that Mr.. Sikorsky
and his associates were testing so pains
takingly in these efforts to achieve an
ideal flying boat hull were followed by
craft twice their size. Diminutive

Fires ON Moro Castle and
At Nome Alaska, Re-
ceived Help of Red
Cross Workers

A number Of tragic and unusu-
al disasters have recently called
for Red Cross relief.
Included in them have been q
food in Kentucky, following q
series Of cloudbursts in August;
epidemics of disease which
threatened several sections, in
Guiding some caused by drought
conditions. Red Cross workers
found much to do for the survi-
vors Of the Moro Castle fire and
for those engaged in rescue work;
and Red Cross relief went by air
plane to Alaska when the famous
old gold camp, Nome, burned in
September.

RED CROSS AGENCIES
SAFEGUARD HEALTH
First Aid, Life Saving, Nursing
Care, Promote Health
and Safety

Five outstanding services make up
the health-conservation program of
the American Red Cross, according
to the annual report just issued in
Washington. These services are
first aid and life saving, which to-
gether have trained more than
million persons; nursing, with an
active enrolment of 36,133 regis
tered nurses; Public Health Nurs-
ing, conducted by 1900 nurses in 424
chapters last year; and Home Hy-
giene. which has taught more than
zoe. 900 men and women simple ways
of caring for the sick at home.
"The achievements of the Red
Cross in public health nursing place
it among the leaders in this field"
said James L. Fieser, vice chairman
in charge Of domestic operations.
This service was organized in 1919
to meet needs developed by the
World War and the ravages of. the
flu epidemic which in 191S-1919 took
so great toll of life.
"Since that time Red Cross nurs-
ing services have been pioneers in
more than one half of the counties
in the United States. Many services
we established were taken over later
by civic, state and federal agencies,
and the Red Cross continues to es-
tablish services in other new fields.
Red Cross nurses made more than
million visits to patients last year,
and 629,025 children in schools were
inspected.
RED Cross courses In home n.y.
giene and care of the sick are
especially important in times of de.

symptoms of illness early enough to
prevent serious consequences.

fowl Sanctuary

1alC0u CndIn proposed as WAFER
fowl Sanctuary
A public shooting grounds and
refuge for migratory waterfowl
comprising about 5000 acres in
the Talcot Lake area in south
western Minnesota has been pro-
posed to federal authorities by e.
v. Willard, Commissioner of Con-
servation. It is recommended that
this project be included under the
Presidents plan for the restor-
alton of wild life. Land acquisi-
ton and necessary improvements
would be taken care of by federal
funds in the event the project is
approved.
The Talcot Lake chain, in south
western Cottonwood and south
eastern Murray counties, is located
between F'ulda and Jackson. The
Des Moines River, starting in Lake
Shetek, flows through the chain,
assuring adequate water that could
be increased by conserving runoff
from a satisfactory water basin.
"a major conservation area for
southwestern Minnesota has been
planned for 1888 by the Minnesota
Conservation Commission" Mr..
Willard said. "a survey revealed
Talcot Lake and connecting lakes
as the best available location for
such a project, with organized
sportsmen heartily endorsing the
proposal"

Everyone is invited to join the

bership roll call which continues

gram and the other humanitarian
services of the Red Cross.

An Army of Goodwill

When members of the Junior Red
Cross learned that school-books had
been destroyed in the Kentucky
floods last August they gave $500
from the National Children's Fund
to buy new textbooks for use in the
schools. The maximum membership
for the Junior Red Cross last year
was 7,350,2S0, an increase over the
previous year Of more than 100000.
They carry on civic and service pro-
grams in their own communities
which each year bring comfort and
pleasure to thousands of needy and
unfortunate people. An international
friendship is built up through cor
respondence with Junior Red Cross
members in foreign countries.

Decrease Noted in
Small Game Licenses
Mink Season Opens November LIST
-CCC Decreases Forest
Fire Loses

Early reports received by the
Minnesota Division of Game and
Fish show a falling off in the sale
of small game hunting licenses
this year. Several reasons were
advanced by officials for this de-
crease. They cited the diminished
numbers of upland game birds
which caused curtailment of the
open season on ringneck pleas
ants, with afternoon shooting only
and the complete protection of fe-
males, the new Federal dollar tax
on Waterfowl hunting and the
present stringent economic con-
ditions.
Continued drouth, severe heat
and disastrous sand and dust
storms took a tremendous toll of
young upland game birds, state
game officials pointed out. Good
shooting was scattered, with some
/ localities reporting excellent bags
and others scanty pickings.
Last year 215,9 resident small
game licenses were sold which
brought in $194, 365.8O as compared
to 1869 similar licenses for
$176, 120.10 the year previous.
In 1888 there were sold 1923 non
resident small game licenses for a
sum of $2,795. A total of 159 small
game licenses were sold to nom
residents for $3,632.50 in 1882.
It will be some time before COM
plete reports of small game Ii
cense sales for 1884 will be avail
able.
The open season on ringnecked
pheasants closed Sunday at sunset
in II Minnesota counties. Taking
of ruffed grouse or native part

counties. This form of upland
game bird hunting will continue

Forest Fire Losses Decreased
BY CCC
During the forest fire season
to date. 31,144 days have been
spent by members of the state and
federal Civilian Conservation
Corps lighting fires in the forests
of Minnesota, as against 56,798,
the previous year. The burned
over area in the National Forest
alone was reduced by 1882 acres,
or 80 per cent below last year,
according to Grover Comet, State
Forester
This great decrease was due in
large part, Mr.. Comet explained,
to experience gained in combating
the tremendous toll of the pre-
vious year; to rising public appre-
citation of the Importance of fire
protection in support of forest re-
Mobilization and resource devel-
opment through the activities of
the CCC; and to improve methods
of fighting fire. This is in spite
of the fact that the number of
visitors to the national forest and
other recreational areas of the
The Sauk Centre herald. (Sauk Centre, Stearns County, Minn.) 1886-current, 1934-11-01

state exceed that of last year.
The pride built up among the CCC
in protecting the public's forests
is a great asset in keeping the
forests green; and has reduced
the necessity for the former vast
emergency appropriations for fire
suppression, he said.
Camps are rated upon accom-
plishment and appearance; forest
protection takes priority in CCC
work.
More than 81 of the 103 fires
occurring on the Superior and
Chippewa National Forests this
season were man-caused! Care
less smokers and campers were
responsible for GA of these fires.

One problem which the company
has been studying recently Is now
to get rid of the ants which nave
built nests in about a thousand
poles. The ants haven't weakened
the poles a bit so far, but they

learn accurately the exact condition
of the wood, inside and out,
and calculate mathimatically the
strength of the pole.
