COUNTY GETS
WPA BENEFITS
Three Projects Furn i S h
More Than 500 Man.
Months of Labor.
Many Farm to Market
Roads Made Better by
Federal Money.

Public improvements in Pine coun-
ty, accomplished under WPA's work
relief program, were summarized this
week by A. T. Gilbertson, district d.
rector, under whose office at Brain
erd, WPA projects in this area have
been operated.
Through the WPA the states de-
ing the restoration of Gross and Po-
kegama lakes and the construction OF
a dam in the Snake river at the outlet
of Cross Lake. The construction or
the dam will raise the water level
of these two large lakes about four
feet and help greatly in preserving
the game, both fish and fowl, OF the
district. Because of low water thou
sands of fish have smothered in the
past few years. These lakes are prac-
tically the last in Minnesota where
sturgeon are found in their native
habitat, and the State Department OF
Conservation as we'll as various con-
servation clubs are keenly interested
in preserving the species.
The project also calls for the clear
ing of the affected flowage area and
when completed will have made use
of an estimated 412 man-months Of
labor.
WPA improvements and repairs to
the state armory and grounds at Pine
City were sponsored by the State of
Minnesota through it's military de-
partment The project which was
completed September 1, makes the
building a community center for pub
lie gatherings, and it provides addi-
tional space for National Guard &C
tivities. 1t used 155 man-months of
labor.
New Auditorium at FinlaySOn.
At Finlayson, on the property of
Independent school district No. 20, a
combined auditorium and gymnasium
will be completed about March 1. 1t
will have made use of 290 man-months
of labor. The school had no indoor
recreational facilities, nor is there a
community meeting place in the vi
cinity. WPA workmen are quarrying
from a pit nearby the native sand
stone in the building.
General improvement has been
made in Pine countys farm-to-market
roads by the WPA, a total of 17S miles
being included in the improvement
program. Likewise, five bridges have
been repaired. Other improvements
include three school buildings, three
athletic fields and one water supply
system serving a community of 300.

behind the bushes and watched. She
saw Reddy circle way around until he
was back Of the barn. He ran very
close to the earth and he ran swiftly.
When he reached the barn he crept
along close to the foundation. When
he reached the corner he fiattened
himself in the grass and peered
around the corner. The hens were
running around IN the farm yard.
There was no Dog in sight. There
was no man or boy in sight. Reddy
set his feet for o quick rush, but just
then the door of the farm house
opened and the mistress stepped out.
Reddy hesitated. Perhaps she would
60 in again and close the door. But
she didn't. Instead she began to walk
toward those hens and the hens began
TO move toward the hen house.
1t was now or never. and Reddy
knew it. He darted out from behind
the barn, straight toward those hens.
The latter started to run, making
great outcry. The woman also
started to run toward Reddy, and she.
too, screamed. Reddy paid no heed.
He seized young pullet by the neck,
threw it over his shoulder and started
straight for the pasture toward where
the young Fox was eXcitedly watching.
He didn't enter the Old Pasture, but
ran swiftly past close to the edge, and
as he did so he threw that pullet so
that 1t landed with thump close to
where the young Fox was hidden.
Meanwhile, the woman at the farm
had gone back into the house. In a
moment she reappeared, and with her
was the Dog who had chased the
young Fox few days before. The
woman led him over to where Reddy
had caught the pullet. Instantly he
began to bay, and with his nose to the
ground, he raced straight over toward
the pasture The Young Fox seized
the pullet, and, as she had seen her
father do, she threw it over her
shoulder and started up into the pas
ture. She didn't head for home, how
ever. She was too smart for that. II
that Dog should follow her she
wouldn't lead him to where they lived.
No, sir! But the Dog didn't follow
her. He kept right on with his nose
in Reddy's trail The young Fox knew
instantly when he had gone past and
she dropped the chicken, and hurried
back to watch what might happen.
You see, she wanted to learn what her
father would do to get rid of that Dog.
She felt sure that he would try some
clever trick, for had he not told her to
watch?

pasture where she could look out the

TT WAS late afternoon. Reddy Fox
and his small but smart young
daughter were peering from the
i edge of the pasture where the
young Fox and her sister, known as
the Timid One, had made their home.
It wasn't very far from the edge OF
that pasture to farm yard in which
hens were running about. On that
farm lived the young Hound who had
chased the young Fox few days be-
fore. She knew that he lived there
and she had wisely kept away from
those hens, although they had been a
great temptation.
How would you like one of those
hens for dinner tonight2" asked Reddy
as they peaked out from the bushes
at the edge of the pasture.
