H. S. Will Play
Little Falls Sat.
VIII Meet Alexandria In District
Contest Wednesday
Evening

Next Saturday evening the local
high school baskefeers will travel
to Little Falls where they will
meet that quint in a post-season
game. Little Falls has always had a
good team and should afford splen-
did competition for the local rim
teasers.
Because there Is lapse of time
between the end Of the arranged
schedule and the beginning Of the
district tournament, Coach Harvey
deemed 1t advisable to schedule q
game with whomever he could to
keep the boys in good shape for the
district meet next week. Little
Falls, properly coached team and
one with a good year behind them,
should give the boys an opportun-
ity to learn few more fundamen-
tails by playing a team which is
not in this district.
The locals have drawn Alexan-
dria for their first contest in the
district meet and will play that
game in the Alexandria gym next
Wednesday, March 9Th, beginning
at 900 O'Clock. It Is a tough game
at any time to draw Alex for the
opening encounter in a tournament.
They are fighters, and they know
their ball game. It is expected,
however, by the local fans that the
home boys "go to town" and take
Alexandria next Wednesday.

Overheated Pipe
Cause of Fire
Department Called To Home OF
Mrs. Hetzel Sunday
Morning

Sunday morning, shortly after
elevn o'clock, the local fire depart
ment was called to extinguish a
blaze in the home, located across
the viaduct, which is occupied by
Mrs. Hetzel and owned by Mrs.
isabelle Anderson, of Plato.
The blaze started in an upstairs
closet through which passes an un-
protected stove pipe. Overheating
OF this pipe caused the clothing
stored there to catch fire. The de-
partment kept the blaze under con-
troll, in spite of the terrific heat
which scorched the wood work Of
adjoining rooms, and it never
spread beyond the closet. The fire
was soon extinguished, and the
clothing carried out, but not with
out complete ruin to the stored
property and material damage to
the interior Of the upstairs.

Sister of Local
Lady Passed On
Death Caused BY Accident Suf-
fered While Attempting
To Isolate Germ

Miss Helen Wilder, dramatic and
English instructor in the Sank
Centre High School, was called to
Minneapolis Wednesday evening by
the serious illness Of her sister,
Miss Lucretia Wilder. The young
lady passed away Friday at the age
of % years.
Miss Wilder, technician and re-
search assistant at the University
of Minnesota, suffered an accident
while attempting to isolate a germ
which has caused thousands Of con-
tagious infections among Twin
City and Minnesota residents dur
ing recent weeks.
Miss Wilder was working alone
and while attempting to inject
these germs into a rabbit the acct
dent occurred. She was holding the
rabbit with one hand and the in
lection needle with the other, when
the rabbit jumped, scratched her
arm, and, In the confusion she spill
led the injection on the scratch.
The accident occurred Tuesday
and from then until her death she
was confined to the hospital.
IT is said, that because Of the rar-
ity Of the disease and the fact that
no known cure was available, hos
pital doctors were helpless in their
efforts to save the girls life.
A week and a half previous to
her death, Miss Wilder spent sew
eral days in this city visiting her
sister and friends. She had also Wis
tied in this city on various other
occasions and was well-known
here.
Funeral services were conducted
Sunday afternoon at $3.50 at the
Burd p. Johnston mortuary, Mime
apolis, with DR.. William III. Boldly,
Of Westminster Presbyterian
Church, officiating. Burial was
made in Hampton, Iowa.
She is survived by her mother,
Mrs. Leone Wilder, of TOT Summit
Ave-, Minneapolis, and her sister,
Miss Helen Wilder, Of this city.

Last Friday the Sank Centre L.
T. A. basketball quint travelled to
st. Cloud for their second joust in
the district tournament. Defeating
the st. Cloud team last week the
locals placed in the semi-finals in
which they were pitted against
Brooten whom they defeated 80 to
% in one Of the fastest, closely
contested games that the outfit has
played all year. Defeating Brooten
placed them in the race for the
championship in which they played
a Waite Park team to a standstill
to defeat the southern aggregation
AZ to II.
The first game was one full of
thrills and good basketball, with
Iwinski pooling 10 points for
high score man and Jim O'Gara
hard behind him with 8 points.
The second game was not close
ly contested race for the champion
ship. Waite Park started the fire
works when they piled UP three
points before the Sank Centre con-
tenders could feel the ball. The
locals then took it upon themselves
to get the ball and do a little scor-
ing for themselves. Waite Park
newer came near catching them. In
the pink Of condition from the
warm up Of the previous game the
boys walked all over the Waite
Park team in one Of their best Of
fensive onslaughts. Dubois came
through with honors for high score
with 13 points, while Iwinsk fol-
lowed him closely with II points.
With the winning Of the district
championship the boys go to
Hutchinson in the near future to
compete with four teams from 9TH
er districts. The winner Of this re-
gional meet will be awarded q
place in the Statewide race to be
held at the University following

fences OF their heroes and gain an
understanding Of their ideals and
motives. As they identify their own
feelings with those Of their heroes,
they gain clearer understanding
Of what patriotism and responsible
ity mean.
Other situations for social study
may be secured by means Of OBJ
servations, investigation, and per-
sonal interviews about such mat
tiers as public safety, civic beauty,
or community health. One day
these reports might be correlated
with hygiene. Another day Of OBJ
servations Of the right and wrong
procedure Of citizenship, answering
a telephone, or CROSSING a street,
might be dramatized by the pupils.
Many cases Of individual acts,
words, and habits give evidences
OF the value of such social studies.
Children are introduced to the
needs Of a community life. They
understand how taxes furnish the
government with the means to af-
ford to citizens many projections
and benefits. They observe and
think about the affairs of their
community. They are led to cult
vate loyalty to the community by
respect for law, and to feel that it
is a patriotic necessity for them to
side with the local officials and
and help them to enforce the law.
Ome must realize that a type of
educational work, such as this,
which has for its aim the building
of mental attitudes, character and
habits for human beings Is limited.
It cannot be measured, for hum
an behavior is changeable. AS a
whole, though, it Is believed that
this social study leads the children
to feel and see that good citizen
ship is the basis for community un-
derstanding.
The concern Is not so much what
particular methods to use, nor that
all pupils be subjected to the same
material, as 1t Is that, as a final
result, boys and girls are possessed
of civic pride and filled with a
feeling of good fellowship toward
all mankind.

Miss Olive Murphy, Teacher
Of Fifth Grade,
States Purpose

Social science Is the one great
science which everyone must prac-
tice, whether he has studied 1t and
knows it or not. One does not or
dinarily study law unless he ex-
poets to be lawyer, nor medicine
unless he expects to be q doctor.
Certainly one Is not expected nor
usually allowed, to practice these
sciences until he has studied them
long and thoroughly. However, the
subject matter of social science,
living together in communities in
relationships with our fellow men,
Is something in which everyone
must Of necessity take part every
day OF Ibis life. If he does not prac-
tice this science wisely and intel
urgently, he must practice it ignor-
antly and foolishly.
1t Is highly important, therefore,
that every member of a modern
community should before the close
OF his school education, receive
grounding in the funda-
mentals Of this intensely practical
subject.
In the grade school, the social
studies comprise history and citi-
zenshin which includes ethics and
character training. History reveals
to the child how other people have
learned to make adjustments to
their ever widening environment.
History should be taught as it is re-
lated to LIES activities. It must be
related to current happenings and
to solving problems with which the
individual, the community, and the
nation are struggling. Through
stories OF early peoples and leaders,
we stress the qualities which devel-
OPP leadership and make good citi-
zens. Boys and girls OF this age are
interested in heroes and leaders
and the appeal Of the biographical
story Is personal and dramatic.
Through their imagination, the
children should re-live the exper-

Locals Lost One Conference
Tilt During the
Season
FINAL SCORE e TOPS
"B" Team Won From Mel
rose Seconds
20 to 8

Last Friday evening the local
basketeers travelled to Melrose and
wound UP their season with anoth-
er win in one OF the toughest
games that the fans have witness
sed for years. Behind for the first
three periods the locals showed a
sudden squirt to come out from be-
hind to defeat the southern aggre-
cation % to IS.
Starting out fast the locals touch
ed off four points before Melrose
had chance. Melrose settled down
and tied the score. We reaped a
free throw, and Melrose tied it up.
One more gift shot the lads were
able to make, and then Melrose
put on the pressure and in a scor-
ing barrage swept the Sank Centre
defense away to bring their
points to 10 to only for the locals
at the close Of the first period.
In the second quarter Melrose
continued where they had left off.
Streaking down the floor they scor-
ed repeatedly to bring their lead to
Is points. The locals settled down
stopped the onslaught. and drove
forward to play their best brand Of
comeback ball and tie the score.
Melrose melted another free throw,
and the half ended in a frenzy, 16
to Is with Melrose still in the lead.
The third quarter was the same
old story. The score see-sawed from
one quint to another, but with Mel
rose always little in the lead.
They ran up the lead to 20 while we
hung doggedly to our Is points.
The locals put on another defen-
sive drive, got the ball, and scored
two goals to bring the score at the
close OF the period to 10 to 20 with
the locals still one point on the
small end of the tally.
The last quarter afforded plenty
of excitement. The locals tied the
count at 20. Then they drove their
score thermometer UP to %. Mel
rose then came out with goal, q
free throw, and another goal to
end their scoring at Is. The game
ended with the locals eking out a
wee victory by three counts, % to
Is.
Thus ended what has been the
most successful season for a local
basketball quint for quite some
years. Coach Gene Harvey had a
tough job-it is always a tough job
when a new coach comes, inaugur-
ates new system and finds only
green material with which to work.
This Is exactly the situation that
confronted the local school a year
ago. They took their Hckings last
year which with the leadership of
Coach Harvey. and the determined
effort Of the fellows on the team,
everyone Of them, contributed to
bring out a winning quint this year
-one Of the strong contenders
for the district meet this year. It
will not be an easy battle though
we have defeated several Of the
strong men" OF the district.
In this last game, the toughest
Of the season, two men from each
team were released from the game
on personal fouls. The teams tied
also on field goals at 8 apiece. We
outscored them on free throws
which gave US the game. While the
local boys scored 10 out Of Is, the
Melrose quint only Melted z out Of

AnOpenLett

The following open letter to r.
v. Woolsey, senator from this dis
trict, pertains to school legislation
which is in preparation, and which
has not yet been presented to the
Legislature:
Sauk Centre. Minnesota.
Feb. 9th, '35
To the Honorable Ralph Woolsey,
State Senator,

Honorable sir:
We, the members of the School
Board of Ashley Township, School
District No. 1875, Stearns County,
herein set forth for your thought
f1i consideration our specific rea.
sons for opposing the bill intro
duced in the State Legislature
whereby all Seventh and Eighth
Grades In rural schools shall be
transferred to the cities.
Our reasons may seem strange
to most city Educators such as
Superintendents and Principals of
schools, and to organizations with
preponderant city membership
such as the Minnesota Education
Association, the Federated Wom-
ems Clubs, the Association of Uni
versity Women and kindred organ
izations who in matters pertaining
to education permit an undue and
illadvfsed enthusiasm to carry
them beyond the bounds of prac-
ticalities.
To suggest to most Of them that
our city school systems are top
heavy would be to elicit from them
the blatant cry, 'Heresy" They
would be scandalized at our eff
frontery and retort probably by
calling us clod-hopppers and back

are an old housekeeper you probably
know all the secrets of getting through
a large family holiday gathering such
as a Thanksgiving dinner without con-
fusion or fatigue. There are at least
four of these secrets:
First, choose an easy menu. One
which can be prepared, in part, ahead
of time. Nothing flurries cook more
than having too many things on the
stove at once, especially as the time
for serving the dinner draws near.
The menu just outlined checks well
on this point.
Second, attend to every detail pos
sible on the two days preceding the
holiday. Go to market. Look over
the table linen, glasses and silver, and
get everything in order. Make such
things as cranberry sauce or jelly and
the appetizer-tomato cocktail. Clean
the turkey (or chicken) and prepare
it for stuffing. Make the Stufflng. But
do not actually stuff the bird until
just before roasting
Third, organize your helpers. Plan
so that each one is responsible for a
definite task-to arrange the center
piece, set the table, prepare vegetables,
see to the butter, bread, water, relishes
and extra chairs, or to bring In wood
for the fireplace or range. Give the
boys something to dc that takes them
out of the work going on in the
kitchen. They'll want to help if asked
in the right way. If the group is very
large, little time spent in working
out a plan beforehand. and assigning
tasks in writing will be repaid by q
smoothly run meal. OF course you
must plan the order of your own
work, too. Don't forget, If you are
having relatives from distance that
rooms must be made ready for them.
This is one of the tasks to be delegated
to one of the older girls or. women in
the house if you can possibly do so,
and one to get well out Of the way
before the day itself.
Fourth, start early enough on
Thanksgiving day so you can move
steadily through the tasks to be done
without rushing, and finish cooking
with time enough to put your kitchen
somewhat In order. Then afterward
with willing helpers. the dishes viii
disappear Like magic.
