out of the cellar. The women,
however, were unharmed. Build
ings on farms in the vicinity were
demolished.
Il spoke to one farmer" Mr..
Patton stated, "who said he was
standing near the house with his
son when the tornado descended.
The gale picked them up and hurt
led them through the air across
the road depositing them in a plow-
ed field. The boy suffered brok-
en- shoulder blade but the man,
who was rolled quite a distance in
the field by the force of the wind,
was uninjured but he was a living
mass of mud from head to foot"
One man was killed and about Is
or 20 persons were injured near
Milford, where Mr. Patton was
born.
Mr.. and Mrs. ]. M. Stewart, ac-
companied by the Misses Mary
and Jean Mclean and Irene Fab
er, teachers in the grade school
here, observed the wreckage Sun
day while motoring to and from
Spencer, Iowa.
The first signs Of the tornado
wele seen at Terrace Park, a po-
pClar summer resort on Lake Ok
oboji, where % cabins and the
casino were laid waste. Mr.. Stew
art related that widow who had
just moved into one of the cabins
for the summer lost all her be-
longings, including valuables and
all that could be found afterwards
was q watch that had belonged to
her husband. He said that If the
tornado had visited the resort q
month later when it is more
populated, several persons would
undoubtedly have been killed.
Returning to Redwood Falls by
way of Fairmont, the party saw
the matchwood remains of farm
buildings. Livestock was lying
dead in the farmyards with large
splinters of wood driven through
them, while machinery had been
blown into the trees in some
places.

1. All Oh the felleI agencies,
including the relief office, the
pension office and the child
welfare office, be re-organized
and set up under one agency
and under one head so that
they can work together and
we believe further that if this
is done it will save expenses
and overhead for the taxpay-
ers.
2. That in all cases where
relief is asked the local sub
divisions be consulted first
before any relief is granted
except in cases of emergency.
3. That all relief expendi-
lures for operations and medi-
cal attention be confined to
hospitals in Redwood county
or the University hospital and
that as far as possible no au-
thorlzations be made for oper-
atlons in hospitals outside of
Redwood county, by the relief
agency and that in every case
OF medical relief an investiga-
ton be made as to whether or
not such relief should be gran
ted. An agreement should be
made by the patient to repay
the county for the costs.
4. That the county board
take steps to curtail at once
the costs of administration of
relief of all kinds and further
that as far possible all per-
sons that can work be taken
off relief as of May 1, as we
feel that there are plenty of
jobs for everyone on farms
and other places in this coun-
ty, IT the man is willing to
work and that if any relief
client refuses to take q job he
should be cut off relief.
5. That the taxpayers be
considered in granting all re-
lief and that the relief load of
this county be reduced as fast
as possible and the relief
clients be put back on their
own.
s. That a copy of this reso-
luton be delivered to the.
county auditor for use of the
county board.
z. That the newspapers
have been publishing articles
about the federal government
refusing to put money into
the old age pension and that it
is our opinion that this county
board should not Issue any old
age pension certificates until

alizing to independent employ
ment," city, village and township
officials meeting in an all day ses-
sion Thursday at the court house,
demanded that steps be taken to
keep the WPA from Turing away
employables from other jobs, sug.
gested that all the county's relief
agencies be re-organized under
one head and decided to oppose the
purchase of snow removal equip
ment or the submittal of the is
sue to a vote in the June primary,
The attack on the WPA came
near the close of the meeting as
George A. Barnes, county attor-
ney, who presided, was discussing
the county's financial condition
which he termed sound. d. p
Tiffany of Redwood Falls inter
rupted with a sally at alleged
"chiseling" by relief clients citing
two cases, the mention of one Oh
which precipitated a brief verbal
tiff between himself and CounH
Commissioner j. p. Kragh. v
Tiffany continued with an as.
sault on the Works Progress ad-
ministration, claiming that the at.
tractive wages it pays makes il
practically impossible to Obtain
farm labor. He suggests that tt
WPA be excluded from the county
as a means of remedying the situ-
alton. Several others, of the ap-
proximately Is officials who atten.
ded, concurred with Tiffany in his
position.
Defends Program
Richard Cook, county engineer
defended the WPA stating that
the county has received consider
able benefit through it's projects
He added that he inquired Of the
National Re-Employment office rs
to the number of applicants fol
farm work and that he had found
enough men listed as never having
done anything but farm work to
take care of the demand for hands.
Louis Bunge commented that the
farmers don't want these men "be-
cause they are too lazy. The
first thing they ask you," he said,
lis how many cows have you 70
milk and what time do you have. to
get up in the morning." ~
L. p. Zimmerman, state relief
administrator, who spoke earlier
in the afternoon explained that the
WPA was the federal govern
.ment's promise of taking people
off relief More than $1,000 per-
sons in Minnesota, he said, are lis
ted on the WPA and although the
results are not all that could be
asked, it is better than nothing at
all as it would be impossible for
the state to care for that many
charges.
At the close Of the meeting a set
of resolutions drawn up by a COM
mittee selected in the morning was
read and approved. The committee
consisted of j. F. Knudson of Red
wood Falls, William Ide of Bel
view, John Krinke of Lamberton,

NBC Blue Chain to Garry
foinorroW's Feature
at 1890.
BY JAMES THRASHER

Cesar Franck, great figure of
nineteenth century French music,
is to be the subject of DR.. Daniel
Gregory Masoni's talk on "Musi-
clans as Men" during the NBC
Music Guild program at 1890 to-
morrow on the Blue network.
1t was several years after
Franck's death in 1890 before the
fantastic and fanatical opinions of
his music, pro and con, had quoted
down and sane estimate of his
contribution was possible. The
ardent "Franckists" proclaimed his
aloof mysticism, the celestial per-
lection of his music, while his de-
tractors, including most of the
American critics, were equally We
hement.
Philip Hale, the late critic of the
Boston Herald and author of the
Boston Symphony program notes,
gives the following description of
that city's reaction: when Ysaye
and Lachaume introduced Franck's
violin sonata in 1895; when these
and others introduced the magnifi-
cent quintet in 1893, leading must
clans of this city shook their wise
heads and said with an air of final
ity, This will never do
Music Only Tolerated
"The string quartet was only toll
Grated, endured because it was pro-
duced at Kneisel concert, and at
that time the Kneisels could do no
wrong. . i. When Mr.. Gericke pro-
duced the symphony in 1899, the
storm broke loose. There were let
tiers of angry protest A leading
critic characterized the symphony
as dismal Several subscribers to
the concerts called it immoral and
vowed they would not attend any
concert at which music by Franck
was to be played"
Today the thought of the Franck
symphony as immoral" is amusing.
Nor, it seems, are those who con-
slider his music as utterly removed
from earthly things entirely on the
right track. AS a man, however,
Franck undoubtedly was deeply
kind, serene and absorbed
in the business of making music.
The violin sonata, considered by
many as Francks masterpiece, is to
be performed by William Knoll and
Bacon in connection
with DR.. MasonS discussion.
