North Redwood Got Salem Church Because
Founders in Horse and Buggy Days Found
Redwood Falls Was Not Community Center

How the Salem Evangelical
church, like the Minneapolis and
st. Louis railroad, passed up Red
wood Falls where the tiny con-
gregation had already purchased
a lot and decided to build more
centrally" in North Redwood is
one of the highlights of the
church's history which will be re-
called at the golden jubilee serv-
ices there December 10 to Is.
Miles meant more so years ago
than they do today and the early
settlers were scrupulous about be-
ing on time for church. Early
records kept in German in a
mottled notebook purchased in
1880 from Hitchcock's Old Relia-
bic drug store in Redwood Falls,
tell how the congregation decided
in 1886 to sell the Redwood Falls
property and build as near as
possible to the center of the par
ish.
The new church was to cost
81, 900 and was to have a steeple,
the book records, and this was one
building job which did not cost
more than original estimates. The
lumber bill was $3.50, the carpenf-
ers got $102.00 and when all the
incidental bills were paid the
church had cost $858.76 and there
was $2-26 in the building fund.
Annual dues in those days were
81 per member but each was to
furnish one-third of a cord Of
wood. The janitor, Gott1ieb

scupies several inches in the al
most inaccessible who's Who In
sAmerica" and who is also cited in
who's Who, In The Nations
Capital" visited his brother in
Redwood Falls Tuesday.
DIR. Charles j. Brand of Wash
ington, d. c. interrupted his plane
trip from Washington to Seattle
to see his brother, DR.. w. A.
Brand and family and to persuade
the Redwood Falls physician to

leaving the University of Mime
sofa, DR.. Brand went into govern
ment service 33 years ago. He

AAA with George Peek at its in
ception when their staff included
only three persons. AS an au-
thority on various phases of agri-
culture he helped organize the
AAA set-up and appointed many
of the workers which numbered
1928 when he left the agency five
months later.
Among the bills which he draft
ed and which are still on the
statutes are the Grain Standards
act, the United States Warehouse
act, the Cotton Futures act and
the Food Control act which Her
bert Hoover enforced during the
World War. With Peek he drew
up the famed McNary-Haugen
bill.

Plan Athletic Field Stadium
BAND SHELL BASEMENT
EXCAVATION WILL
START SOON

Possibility that the Redwood
Falls athletic field may boast a
permanent stone stadium seating
ZOO and 1,500 persons was dis
cussed at meeting of the field
board of directors Monday after
noon. Richard Cook, county en-
gineer and member of the board,
was authorized to submit a field
stone stadium as a WPA project
and to figure the costs of the
structure.
If the project is approved, the
board members will decide
whether or not funds at their dis
posa1 warrant the construction of
the building. Plans proposed in
clude dressing rooms, showers and
toilets under the stadium and
teams would go there to rest be-
tween halves.
The crew now employed at
the tract will Immediately begin
excavation for full basement
overWhich the band shell located
at the Lincoln school will be plac-
ed The shell will be moved to
the southeast corner of the skat-
ing rink and the basement used
for a warming house during the
winters.
Another part of the work PLAN
ned during the winter months is
the laying out of the quarter mile
track which will circle the foot
ball field and the preparation of
an eight lane 220 yard straight
away on the east part of the track.
1t is believed that this will be
the only eight lane track regular
ly available to any high school in
Minnesota.
Leveling of the baseball dia-
mond, already partly done, will
have to wait until spring for COM
pletion as frost makes the work
costly in winter.
