Former Sandstone
Man Fatally Hurt

Lawrence Wahlberg, aged 26, re-
siding at Duluth but formerly of the
Sandstone community, was killed
last Thursday when scaffolding fell
at the College of st. Scholastica in
Duluth. Three other men were killed
and three injured. The men were
pouring concrete at the top of a new
tower which was being constructed,
when the structure gave way.
Mr.. Wahlberg is survived by his
wife, father, two sisters and two
brothers. His mother was killed
about seven years ago when struck
by an automobile, a brother died
five years ago, and Lawrence and his
wife suffered the loss of tiny infant
last spring.
Mrs. Wahlberg is the daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. Peter Peterson of Sand
stone.
The funeral was held in Sandstone
Tuesday when the sermon was
preached by Rev. John A. Hughes.

School OF
The County
Annual Meeting
Between 200 and 800
Members of Largest Tax
Spending Body Gather.

School boards of Pine county were
very well represented at the annual
school board meeting held in the new
Pine City high school auditorium
Friday. The meeting was called to
order by County Superintendent of
Schools A. E. Gustafson at 10 a. m.
and he introduced o. R. Sande who
discussed the philosophy of educa-
ton. Mr.. Sande is assistant direc-
tor of the grade and elementary
school department in the State De-
partment of Education.
The new transportation ruling
whereby either parents of rural high
school children or the district in
which they live are required to pay
transportation cost to the district
which hauls them was discussed
at the meeting That ruling is a
deviation from the method used in
the past where many districts ether
hauled them free of charge or gave
them the privilege of making ar
rangements with the driver of the
bus coming near them.
Mr.. Sande was required to answer
many questions concerning this rul-
ing and the consensus of opinion
at the meeting, apparently was, to
the effect that it would work a han
dicap on children in rural districts
in their efforts to get high school
education. However, Mr.. Sande
stressed the point that the State De-
partment was desirious of affording
the children of high school age in
the rural districts the facilities of
a high school education.
He informed the board members
that if the rural boards pay the trans
portation cost of their high school
pupils they will get back not to ex-
coed two-thirds of it from the state.
Red Cross Program Presented.
Mrs. A. E. Eddy of Hinckley, work.
er in county Red Cross circles for
many years, presented a few points
of the program which the Red Cross
is sponsoring, the main one this year
being the county nurse. Mrs. Eddy
told of the sponsorship by the county
board of this project to the extent
of $500, the federal government $500
and the county Red Cross $1,000.
She asked for moral and financial
assistance from the various school
boards throughout the county and
read a passage of the law which
makes it legal for school boards to
appropriate money for health pur-
poses of this kind, and stated that as
small a sum as SIS from each would
help considerably.
Mrs. Eddy stated that the county
will enjoy the full time services of
nurse the coming year, but that the
Red Cross needs help with its end
of the job.

Rural Lighting Is
Object OF Contest

The 26 All Clubs of central and
northeastern Minnesota, engaged in a
campaign to promote more complete
farm identification, have their pro-
gram pretty well under way Most
of them have held preliminary meet
ings at which experts have been
present to distribute literature and
explain the advantage of the many
appliances on the market for farm
use. After familiarizing themselves
with the many ways in which cleo
tricity can eliminate drudgery, short
en- hours and increase production,
the club members will proceed to
convey this information to the farm
ers in their areas.
This campaign takes the form OF
a contest with prizes to be awarded
to the clubs and individual members
as well as to the farmers themselves
The clubs participating are located
in Todd, Pine, Carlton, Morrison and
southern st. Louis counties.
While they will stress the advan-
tage of the hundred-and-one electric
appliances now available for use on
the farm, they will begin by empha-
sizing good lighting and water pump
ing AS the main purpose of the
campaign is educational, the All
members will endeavor to show
among other things, why enough light
and water are necessary to good
health as well as efficiency.
The All Clubs are able to show
that the maximum cost of good light
and a good water supply system is
about Is cents worth of electricity a
day. This illustrates that electricity
is the cheapest thing farmers can buy
1t also gives more in return for the
money spent.
The club members are greatly en-
couraged in this movement by the
interest shown by the parents. AT
every meeting good number of the
parents have been present, showing
that farmers in this section are deep
ly interested in progressive pro-
gram of farm identification.
The campaign closes December Is

Not 'Ducky' To Get
Ducked At Hunting

Getting ducked while hunting
ducks isn't so "ducky," thinks Roy
Mertens, employee at the Jordan
Independent office. A week ago
Saturday morning was the open
ing of the duck season and Roy
went hunting. Now, there isn't
anything so strange about that,
for thousands did likewise that
morning. Besides getting ducks,
Roy got ducked, which perhaps
was something he didn't expect to
get when he bought license and
duck stamp.
1t seems he had seven or eight
nice birds in the bag and had
Just shot down another when he
got into a boat and went out after
the duck. Roy reached over to
get his duck and like a flash the
boat tipped. Splash-the hunter
got ducked! On top of getting wet
he lost five of his ducks and
dropped his gun in about five feet
of water.
