Both girls, each of whom had
visited Chicago once before, liked

ness of business men heading
large concerns in the city. "You
expected club members to be
nice" she said, "but had always
thought executives were too busy
to be bothered" Speaking of sit

other affairs she said, 81 didn't

Every event was a highight at
the All club congress last week
to two Redwood county girls who
are finding it "hard to act natur-
al again" after a week of contin-
uous entertainment in Chicago.
With hardly a minute of the six
days to themselves, the girls ate
breakfast, lunch and dinner to the
accompaniment of entertainment
by some of the best talent Chicago
has to offer, saw the interesting
sections of the city from sight
seeing buses, were rushed here
and there for trips through large
industrial plants and were loaded
with gifts by several Chicago
concerns.

FOR ELECTION, GETS
POWER LINE PLAN

Redwood Falls transient ped
dlers ordinance appeared to be a
good source of city revenue as the
council met Monday night and
approved the application OF L. ID.
Bowling Of Clearmont, Missouri
for a coal peddlers license at the
rate of $40 day.
Bowling was picked-up Satur-
day by Leon II. Brown, city attor-
ney, who explained the ordinance
to him and collected $50 for the
city for five previous trips Dow
ling had made. The Missouri man
brings coal here, sells it and re-
turns with truck-load of grain.
He expressed himself perfectly
willing to pay the fee.
Plans for a power line from the
power house to the new wells at
the pump house, to be routed
along the west side of town were
accepted as submitted by the Red
wood Falls Light and Power COM
pany. The line will be installed
in the spring to serve as reserve
power circuit for the new well
pumps and for the heavy duty
pumps at the power house proper.
The council was also asked to
submit detailed plans for a, pipe
line between the new wells and
the pump house reservoirs for use
by WPA authorities in a project
which was submitted about three
months ago.
Election judges were selected
and will be announced as soon as
city authorities learn who will be
able to serve. No filings have yet
been received for municipal posi-
tions which expire in January.
They include those of C. L. Lynn,
mayor; George A. Patton and j. F.
Knudson, aldermen, F. w. STAN
ton, treasurer and +. b. Forbes,
city recorder. Filings close De-
cember 81 and the annual election
takes place January 5.
The council also ordered the
transfer of $4O0 from the band
fund to the Scenic City band. The
band will not have a payroll this
year but will use the fund to pay
debts contracted for the San
Diego trip last year and to build
up a small fund for a probable
trip next summer.
An on and off-sale 80 beer Ii
cense was transferred from Mar
tin Freise to Melvin Thoma, new
owner of the Green Parrot cafe.

ing of the Redwood Falls Civic
and Commerce association, it was
decided at a meeting Monday
evening. N. r. RyerSon IS in
charge of the affair and is author
lied to select his own committee.
It is hoped to make the affair
public with women especially in
vited. Attendants will be asked
to remain for the business session
so that they may see behind the
scenes in the work of the organ
ization, often mistakenly regarded
as a social club according to of
ficerS.
During the meeting the annual
report of the secretary will be
given and a nominating commit
tee including w. S. Brammer, L.
r. Ewart and Rud Stensvad will
report.
Many of the Is business men
attending expressed enthusiasm
in regard to the associations acti-
vities and satisfaction that for the
first time in several years the club
has fulfilled its purpose of Great
ing good fellowship and co-opera-
ton among businessmen in pro-
noting community activities.
Ted Ahrens, secretary, reported
that the six point program adopt
ed in January had been carried
out with the exception of the East
er celebration planned for chill
dren. In addition several new pro-
jects have been accomplished.
The club has promoted regular
dinner meetings, entertained the
Sleepy Eye and Redwood Falls
High school basketball squads,
sponsored and completed plans
for municipal athletic field, put
on a Fourth of July celebration,
specified uniform holiday closing
hours, secured Illuminated signs
for highways approaching the city
and given a football banquet in
conjunction with the Lions club.
Three hundred nineteen tickets
were sold for the event and ball
ance of $3.50 remained when all
bills were paid.
Uniform closing hours will
again be a subject of discussion
when the club meets in January.
1t was suggested that a committee
of business men be appointed by
Oscar Randgaard, president, to
draw up a closing schedule and
present it for acceptance or re-
lection at the first of the year SO
that the trouble involved in secur-
ing agreement on closing before
every holiday will be eliminated.
An objection to persons not be-
longing to the American Legion or
the Civic and Commerce club who
use the club rooms as a social
gathering place, was raised. 1t
was decided to urge those gener-
ally playing cards in the rooms to
join one of the organizations.
O. A.. Stensvad, Frank Gerst-
mann and H. P. Sanders volun-
teered to form a committee to col

Engineers Silent as Trials

NEW YORK, June 3O.-Just an,
other routine day in the labora-'
tory"-that's all the engineers had to
say last night after R. c. A. had put
under way the New York City field
tests of high definition televiSion.
Seemingly they were unexcited over
the possibilities of movies flashing
around skyscrapers," or of bringing
visibility to the invisible waves Of
radio.
Beyond the assertion that the days
work was just furthering step into
the research that has been confined
heretofore to the laboratory at
Camden, N. j., there was no indi-
cation of undue activity or ceremony
on a high floor Of the Empire State
Building where the Six-meter trans
mitter is located, or in the special
studio at Radio City.
No announcement was forthcoming
as to what had been done in the
first day Of the trials. They are being
conducted under plan, first revealed
more than a year ago, to look into
television from some of its actual
broadcasting aspects.
What daily procedure is to be fol-
lowed as to times on the air; the
type Of programs to be attempted,
such as films. studio performances
and outdoor flashes: or the schedule.
which is to include both day and night
transmiSSionS, was not indicated.
Not only the transmission, but the
reception is to remain in the hands of
technicians for the time being. Since
this is a search after problem solution.
the engineers are concerning them
selves more with measurement check
ups and the like for the present than
they are with entertainment pos
sibilities.
The receivers they are using, and
only a limited number have been
assembled on a laboratory cost basis,
reproduce 5l2 by inch image of
343 lines detail. The maximum power
of the transmitter is eight kilowatts.
