SO they lost interest, for there were
so many other things to think about
and see. And then when she wasn't
looking for it or even thinking about
it Sue found the knot that wasn't a
knot.
She was lying in hammock swung
between two maple trees near the
house. Looking up without really
looking, her idle glance rested for a
moment on little grayish bunch

branch only few feet above her

Hummingbird do what Farmer Browns
Boy called the pendulum swing.
Flying at breathless speed he shot
down and up, back and forth, in an
arc that was almost the half of a
big circle. 1t was for all the world
as If he were suspended by a long
invisible thread and being swung like

Scout Troop
Is Growing
Continually
Sank Centre Tied Brainerd
With Registration For
National Jamboree
TO SWAP" SOUVENIRS
New Patrol From Parochial
School Augmented Scout
Membership

Father and son will hit the
Scouting trail together as Sank
Centres contingent to the National
Boy Scout Jamboree, to be held in
Washington, D. c., this summer,
continues to hold the upper brack-
ct in Central Minnesota Council
registrations. And what to "swap"
becomes a problem.
The registration of the sixth
Scout last week was boosted when
George Berggreen, (his son Is also
going to the Jamboree,) registered
as one Of Scouters from this Gen.
trail Minnesota district. His inten-
ton to go, places Sank Centre in
the top ranks of Jamboree registra.
ton with Brainerd. Each city has
6 Scouts registered. Brainerd has
two Scouters. These towns lead en-
tries from Milaca, Park Rapids, st.
Cloud, and Wadena.
Following the National meeting
Of $4,000 Scouts, Russell Larson is
listed as one of two from this Sec
ton of the state to go to Holland
for this worldwide Scouting
event. The other entry is register
ed from Park Rapids. Gordon He
din. one of the Troop 25 contingent,
is registered as one Of two from
this Council to become a member
of the Region 10 band unit.
Swapping is going to be one Of
the most ENJOYABLE enterprises and
one of the best advertising stunts
during the entire Jamboree. From
each section of the country, Scouts
will bring articles, trinkets and
souvenirs to trade with other
scouts. From this city, with six
boys participating, it Is expected
that some neat swapping can be
done. Ideas and pointers are being
solicited on the matter of suitable
articles that will be Of advertising
value to the community and still
have their intended value. Ideas
may be forwarded to r. B. Kowal-
Ike, Scoutmaster, Troop rs, or mail
ed in care Of the Herald office.
AS the entire Troop Is swings
into this project Of sending repre-
sentatives to the National and
World Jamborees, the troop launch
ed into its usual schedule of reg
ular troop meetings with the addi-
ton Of an entirely new patrol of
Scouts from the Parochial School.
Boosting the membership Of Troop
Is to nearly Is Scouts, the patrol is
led by Bob Markson. And singular
among the membership of this new
patrol Is the addition Of twins to
the troop. Gordon and Harry Ro-
land are the twin boys. Eager, en-
ergetic fellows are these boys from
the Parochial school and their pa
troll leader reported that most of
them in a few short weeks time are
ready to pass their Tenderfoot
tests.

II. S. School
Carnival On
Fri, April 10
Second Annual Event Will Be
A Colorful And Gay
Fun Festival
SHOWS, GAMES OF SKILL
Benefit Performance Will In
clude Coronation Of
Carnival Queen

Sank Centre public schools car
nivaf, the second annual event Of
its kind, will be presented in the
gymnasium Friday night, April 16.
Opening at 7:30 o'clock, the gay
throng of fun seekers will be greet
ed by the shouting of the bankers,
who will advertise their wares and
shows in carnival style.
This event Is given for the pur-
pose Of raising funds to purchase
a film protector for the school and
instruments for the music depart
ment.
Besides the concession stands,
which will include candy and
lunch booths and skill games, such
as shooting galleries, nine pins and
dart throwing, there will be several
attractions Of merit. The attrac-
lions will include an athletic show,
puppet show, a one-act play, Tom
Thumb wedding, Hall of Terrors, a
free stage show and the coronation
of the carnival queen.
The carnival queen will be Sc
lected by popular vote from
among the following candidates:
Shirley Carpenter, Vera Jackson,
Rose Marie Johnson and Leona
Kuefler. The coronation ceremony
will take place at II o'clock.
Among the new attractions will
be the puppet show and the Tom
Thumb wedding. These events will
be staged by the puppet club, Or
ganized in the Junior High School
last year. This work has created
considerable interest among Jun
ior High students and should be
one Of the worthwhile attractions.
No carnival is complete without
an athletic show, and this years
event will be no exception. Efforts
have been made to improve this
show, with both wrestling and box
ing events by amateurs and cham

will include among the contestants
two High School state champions,
and beside the local wrestlers and
boxers there will be entries from
Osakis and Melrose.
One Of the outstanding events
will be the one-act play, "The
Duchess Bounces In" This is
comedy, and the play will be given
several times during the evening.
Dancing will be one of the div
ersions of the carnival and this
part of the program will be con-
tinued after the shows have been
closed.
There will be other attractions
with fun for the entire family. No
attraction will cost over SC.
Those folk who attended the
first annual carnival on February
%, Of last year, pronounced it the
most outstanding fun event Of the
year, and the most successful en-
tertainment Of its nature presented
in the school. This Is a huge under
taking, an event in which practi-
cally all of the school children are
given an opportunity to take part.
and hence, deserves the support of
the public. The shows Of last year
were clever, and those in charge
are attempting to make the at
fractions for this years carnival
more attractive and interesting. If
you really wish to enjoy yourself
attend the carnival the evening of
Friday, April 10th.
