is greater than in any previous
year in the writer's recollection.

School Skating Rink
A Popular Place
Two Flo0dings Last Week Have
Put The Ice In Best of
Condition

Multi-colored socks, mufMers with
splashes OF color and heavy clothing
galore is what the best dressed Of
the younger fry Of the town are
wearing as their sporting blood
turns them to skating. The flash of
shiny skates on the smooth ice at
the Fairgrounds rink sparkled dur
ing the past week. It has easily be-
come one OF the most popular Kinks
the city has had.
Last week in the mild weather
and with the moon pouring light
onto the ice, the rink was populated
with humanity dashing about on
steel. Last week two floodings on
Tuesday and Friday served to put
the ice in the best of condition.
Failure of King Winter to send
down his white blanket has kept
the ice open on the lake and each
evening finds a good crowd whisk-
ing about over the frozen surface.
Several large lights were install
ed on the rink Monday and flood
ing is done as needed. We are in
formed that the City Council fur
nishes the light and water, and that
the flooding is being done by the
Fire Department. The lights were
lighted for the first time Monday
night.
The City Council also has furnish
ed helmets for the school patrol.
Supt. w. A. Kohl in a letter to
Mayor Hintzen called attention to
the need Of helmets, and upon his
suggestion the Council voted to
purchase a number of them for the
patrol.

The citys younger element took
time out from writing Santa, turn
ed pals and helpers Of the over
worked Dewhiskered gentleman,
and did their bit Saturday to help
make somebody else's Christmas a
lot happier.
About 300 strong, according to
estimates of F. L. Parsons, they
trooped to the Oxford Theatre Sat
urday afternoon laden with sacks,
cans, and various containers filled
with foodstuffs. In return for the
food they saw Will Rogers in a free
matinee. Enthusiastic, the kids
took over the theatre" were over
whelmed with the Christmas spirit
coupled with the treat Of the thea
tire Christmas party.
The things they brought which
included cans OF beans, peas, corn,
hominy, and pumpkins, squash and
apples, pop corn, pickles-nearly
everything that people eat-are be-
ing sorted over this week. Just be-
fore Christmas the boxes Of good
things will be distributed to the
city's needy with a Merry Christ
mas from about 800 Sank Centre
children.

New SNOWFLAKE
Propeller Driven, Snow On Rural
Route Should Hold No Terror
For Him :

Snow should hold no terror for
rural mail carrier L o Gray, for
he's all set for it and set to get
the mails through.
He has one OF these newly patent
ed snowplanes, propeller driven,
and brilliant in a red coat Of paint.
Plying his 60-mile route each day is
something Of a job with an ordin-
airy car when winter cracks down,
so Carrier Gray has outfitted him.
self with what the well-dressed mail
will be carried In.
The plane is equipped with both
skis and wheels, for ground or
snow driving. Propeller driven, it Is
powered with q Ford motor. Hy-
draulic lifts raise the wheels to
launch the vehicle for snow travel.
To make it light and easy to handle
over the snow, the body Is con-
structed Of airplane material.
Though the closest L. O. came to
seeing 1t this week was through the
window (you see, he's at home with
touch Of the flu), he said Monday
he'd take it on q test run next
week.

Country's High tuberculosis
Death Rate Points To
Extra Need

Discovery of three active cases of
tuberculosis among the school
group!
The comparatively high percen-
tage of tuberculosis infection re-
vealed among high school pupils in
the recent testing survey!
An apparently large number of
unknown cases that are spreading
the disease!
Stearns county's high death rate
from tuberculosis!
These facts point to the need for
an intensive case-finding campaign,
careful followup of the recent tu-
berculin testing survey, and an ex-
tensive educational campaign on
tuberculosis throughout the county.
An average Of 20 Stearns county
citizens have died of tuberculosis
annually for the past ten years, &C
cording to State Department Of
Health records. Since 1909, a total
Of $50 men, women, and children of
Stearns county have been killed by
this disease. A total of 400 school
children were given the tuberculin
test as a part of the Christmas Seal
work and several hundred have al
ready been X-rayed. The tuberculo-
sis survey for the county to date
has cost approximately $500.
Christmas Seals provide the only
funds available to finance this.
The committee to meet this emer-
gency makes these requests:
Will all persons who received
Seals in the mail and have not
made returns, do so at once? Will
all organizations purchase a bond
or make some contribution to the
fund as a group? To date six St.
Cloud organizations have purchas-
ed bonds. Will persons who can AFT
ford extra contributions make them
to help meet this emergency? Will
every person in Stearns county
purchase this week at least one
penny Christmas Seal?
