Local Boy To Show
In New York City
Wilfred Hetzel Has Promise For
An Appearance In Madison
Square Garden

He went to New York via the
thumb route, spent sleepless nights,
got lost in Gotham's canyons, but
picked his way around-but he got
what he went after.
The ace of basketball free throw
artists, holder of the University of
Minnesota award, Wilfred HetZcl
wheedled a promise from Promoter
Ned Irish for an appearance in
Madison Square Garden, largest
sports center in the world.
First of the midwestern boys
from the sticks" to enjoy such a
privilege in his line, Hetzel secured
the promise that he is to appear
with his colorful free throw exhi-
bition at the Garden on December
Goth. On the 30th he is to appear at
the Arena, and on January 3rd he
will appear between halves of a
conference game scheduled at Her
shey, Pennsylvania. While he hasn't
squirted the ink on the blotter to
sign the contract stating the
amount of sheckels he will get for
expenses, Hetzel is sure he will ap-
pear as scheduled. He's making ar
rangements, too, for an appearance
when Minnesota basketeers go
East.
Not satisfied with letting them
take his word that he could do
those trick shots he boasts, Hetzel
worked out before the secretary to
Irish and with Nat Mailman, coach
at City College, New York, and one
of the basketball greats. Dragging
out his sample case he laid his
samples neatly in a row and went
through a routine in spite Of the
fact he had laid off all summer.
"They were impressive" was Het-
zeps simple statement.
He returned from New York with
some very definite impressions OF
the metropolis. He says they're not
so different from Main Street out
there, except they don't watch
where they're going. They're just
as apt to run into you as not" he
said.
Wilfred returned to the Univer-
sity Of Minnesota Monday to return
to his scholastic work. He expects
to make his trip east during Christ
mas vacation.

Qualification OF
Old Age Assistance
Executive Secretary of Stearns
County Welfare Board Ex-
plains Situation

In an attempt to clarity the pos
ition of the County as regards Old
Age Assistance, and the death of
recipient, Frank M. Bemis, Execu-
tive Secretary Of the Stearns
County Welfare Board, newly or
ganized this summer, issued the fol-
lowing statement this week:
Considerable confusion and mis-
understanding apparently exists in
the minds of many recipients and
relatives Of Old Age Assistance, re-
garding payment of funeral bills
of deceased, recipients" he said,
$50 we have asked the following
points be. published"
First, it must be borne in mind
that Old Age Assistance is not a
pension but rather relief measure.
According to Section IA Of the
Old Age Assistance Act passed by
the Special Session of the 1855
Legislature the following Is the
procedure: ION the death Of a re-
cipient, the county agency may pay
an amount for reasonable funeral
expenses, not exceeding 800. No
funeral expense shall be paid If the
estate of the deceased is sufficient
to pay such expense, or If the chill
dren, or spouse who were legally
responsible for the support of the
deceased during his life time, are
able to pay for such expenses. In
determining the sufficiency of such
estate due regard shall be had for
the nature and marketability Of as
sets of the estate. The county agen-
cy may grant funeral expenses
where the sale would cause undue
loss to the estate. Any amount paid
by the county as funeral expenses
shall be a prior claim against the
estate, as provided in Laws 1885,
Chapter u, Section 108, and any
amount recovered shall be paid to
the treasury Of the county which
paid said expenses and be deposit
ed in the county old age assistance
fund, and so per cent thereof shall
be paid to the state agency"
Enlarging upon and by way Of
explanation, Mr.. Bemis continued,
it must be understood that the sum
of 500 is to cover the cost Of the
complete burial service, including
minister or priest, opening Of the
grave, cemetery lot, and the cost Of
casket and services Of the funeral
director. In other words, the county
cannot assume any part Of any fun
eral bill which in its entirety runs
over the stipulated 500. Then also
the children or spouse Of the de-
ceased will be expected to pay such
part Of the 500 as they are able.
The rules Of the Stearns County
agency require affidavits from both
the funeral director and the sur
viving spouse or children II any,
that said funeral was not in excess
Of the 500 allowed.
Under the new setup Of the Coun-
ty agency, the Welfare Board Is
handling numerous cases In all
kinds Of assistance work. Mr.. Be
mis- appointed as executive secre-
tary of the board, Is in charge Of
all communications, and 1t Is ask
ed by board members that COM
munications be addressed to him.

District Tournament
Voted To Alexandra
Eighty-Six Schoolmen, Represent
ing 20 Schools of District 22,
In Attendance

A heated discussion planted the
seat of the District % basketball
tournament back into the lap of
Alexandria, wrestling it from Glen
woods new high school who had it
last year, when So schoolmen repre-
senting 20 schools of the district
met. The Tolena Club near Alexan-
dria was the scene of the meeting
Tuesday evening.
Although Glenwood took in re-
ceipts totaling nearly 200 dollars
more than any previous tourna-
ment, vigorous objections from
towns in the northern part Of the
district, whose claim was that
Glenwood was too far, succeeded in
gaining overtures and giving the
tournament to Alexandria for this
year. Tentative schedules, including
that for Coach Toftness' basketeers
of this school, were arranged at
the meeting. Publication of sched-
ules will be made later.
Despite objections from a few
of the smaller schools, the same
procedure in the conduct of the dis
trict tournament will be followed.
The four towns of Alexandria,
Sank Centre, Long Prairie and
Glenwood will automatically be
thrown into district competition.
Others will have to compete In sub
district meets held in Alexandria
and Eagle Bend, for berths in the
district roster.
Organization of the group includ-
ed election of officers with Supt
,Herseth, Bertha, chairman; Supt
N. Peterson, Alexandria, secretary;
and Supt. Buck, Clarissa, director.
The staff Of men on the local
school faculty, headed by Supt. w.
A. Kohl and Principal E. w. Olson,
