Large Wheel Used As Ice
Hoist Found In Building
Mystery Of Use Solved
BY 8. p. Hansen, ST.,
Who Saw IL In Use

One Of those relics Of the
business days of yore was dis
covered last week, when work.
men were busy wrecking the
Pangburn frame building on
Main Street, to make way for
the new Main Street Theatre to
be erected on the site soon.
Discovered in the attic of the
building, the large wheel or
hoist was thought by many to
have been q butchers wheel, us
ed to raise carcasses Of cattle
for the purpose of skinning
them. According to s. P. Han
sen, ST., who at one time pur-
chased livestock in this COM
munity, the hoist was installed
to lift ice into the ice box Of
the ]. M. Reed meat market.
Uncovered by Joe Vogel, who
was working for his father, B.
%. Vogel, who purchased the
building from F. L. Parsons,
origin Of the wheel was unde-
termined, and speculation as to
its use was somewhat of a mys-
terry until s. p. Hansen, ST., Of
fered his explanation. This
wheel, about four feet in dia-
meter Of wood construction,
was used to lift ice. A rope
around the runway on the
wheel did the hosting.
It is thought this gadget en-
tered that place Of business in
about 1890, when J. M. Reed
purchased the building, and
conducted a meat market.
The rear part of the building
was erected in 1865 by Henry
Boobar, and later moved to the
back Of the lot. About forty
years ago, said c. s. Allen, the
front part Of the building was
erected.

Catholic So
cieties Honor
Cardinal
Quarterly Meeting
Western Stearns
Societies Convened Here

Special tribute was paid to the
memory of Cardinal Hayes, Arch
bishop of the Diocese of New York
when nearly two hundred met Sun
day at st. Paul's Parish at the
quarterly meeting of the Western
Stearns County Federation of Cath
Ollie Societies.
In a resolution, proposed by s.
G. Schwarzbauer, the assemblage
paid formal tribute to the influent-
ial churchman, who had died early
that morning, offering "three Our
Fathers and Hail Marys for the re-
pose Of his SOUL"
Personal tribute was given this
Catholic leader when Father Hugo
o. S. B., New Munich Pastor, who
had worked under the Cardinal in
the Bahama Islands, said that he
would be remembered not as a great
orator and preacher, but for his
charitableness.
Special speakers for the day were
two Seminarians. One Erwin Zir-
bes talked on Communism as a
menace to the United States. An
thony Kleinschmidt traced the his
tory of the Josephinum, Apostolic
college. In the absence Of Alfred
Bromenshenkel, st. Johns Univer-
sity student, s. G.. Schwarzbauer,
speaking on the widening scope OF
the Catholic Action program said
I'm our Diocese at Little Falls we've
had three weeks Of Confraternities,
largely attended"
To representatives present and to
Sank Centre, FIR. Paulinus, o. 8. B..
Pastor at Metre Grove, extended an
invitation to attend the anniversary
celebration at the parish September
18th. The celebration honors fifty
years in the Priesthood for the pas
tor. Special plans have been made
by his parish for the event. FIR
Paulinus was ordained to Holy Or
ders fifty years ago in Sank Gen.
tire, he told the gathering, and in
dictated his fondness for this city.
Business sessions, opened by pres
ident Leo ]. Beste, Melrose, set the
place Of the next meeting at St
Boniface Parish in Melrose. 1t was
decided that members Of Catholic
ladies societies could now become
members of the Federation, opening
the membership scope widely.

Summer
Reading Pro

More Than Two
Thousand Books Read
In Three Months

More than two thousand books,
read and reported on by nearly
three thousand Sank Centre school
students, was the great bulk of
reading done in a three months
summer reading program, closed
September LIST, conducted by the
Bryant Library.
According to figures compiled
from the programs records, total
Of 2045 books were read and re-
ported to the library. Topping the
list were two grade students: Dean
Perry, second grade public school,
with 81 books, and Dorothy Berg,
third grade st. Paul's School, with
IS books. To these two will be Civ

gan, librarian, pointed out enroll
ment topped the 275 figure, embrace
ed students from both the public
and st. Paul's schools. The pro-
gram calls for a reading Of forty
books or more from each student to
entitle him to one Of the reading
certificates. Pointed out as high,
the number of books named made
a high point of selection, found
about five percent of the total read
ing the required number.
Pleasing to Miss Finnegan was
the fact that the great bulk Of the
reading was done. by lower grade
students. eff that idea is carried
throughout their school life, what
a marvellous background they will
have" she said Of these grade stu
dents. While st. Paul's school en-
rollment was noticably smaller than
that from the public school, proper
tionately its students read more
books, reports showed this week.
Those who met the requirement,
read the 40 books from the selected
lists, will receive the library's read
ing certificate. Included in the
group are: Joan Bastien, End grade,
Shirley Bastien, 3rd grade, Dorothy
and Norbert Berg, Bird grade, Bev-
erly Gaspard, End grade, Jerome
Gaspard, LIST grade, Marjorie Mis-
chke, End grade, Gerald Paquin,
7th grade, Lenora Tombers, LIST
grade, Mildred Weber, list grade,
all from st. PauPs school. Public
school students receiving the certi-
ficate are: Marcelene Dickhaus, 9Th
grade, Wilma Hansen, 18th grade,
Winifred Hansen, 7th grade, Dean
Perry, End grade, and Marjorie
Westhoff, End grade.
Bryant Library's foreign doll pro-
ject, with emissaries from nearly a
dozen countries, is drawing wide
spread interest. This week Miss
Finnegan said she had a letter from
the library at New Salem, North
Dakota, inquiring about the proce-
dure of collecting the dolls.

St. Cloud Man
Won Tourney
Vic Sieben Was Runnerup
In Sundays Event
1O-HOle Battle

missing q tWo-foot putt, that cost
Vic Sieben the championship, NAM
ed Bill Rau, st. Cloud entry, as
champion, sent the round into 10
hole battle, as a 33-entry short stop
tourney waved the finale flag at the
Country Clubs summer golf season
Sunday.
The two came up to the ninth
green, on the final hole Of the nip
and tuck match, with even strokes.
Both had lies on the green within
three-feet Of the cup. Rau, missing
his short putt, wrapped Sieben's
chances to win up in a two foot
putt. But Sieben dubbed his, too,
when the shot would have given
him the championship. In the an
ti-climactical hole to follow Rau
played 1t straight to take a par five
to win the match. Sieben, who slic-
ed off to the rough on his tee shot,
trailed him with six.
Prior to that ninth hole tieup,
Sieben had held the only advantage
in the match. With even holes all
the way, Sieben finally eked out a
single stroke over Rau on the sew
enth. On the eighth he lost his ad-
vantage, to come to the ninth all
even.
Because there were so many
shooting near-par golf, the cham
pionship flight started with six
teen players, eight of which were
relegated to the first flight on
elimination first rounds. Sieben
and Rau, survivors, cut their way
through three matches to end run
nerup and champion. For Rau the
matches were over Pat Dubois, win
ner of the early-summer short stop
tourney, Hollenhorst, st. Cloud en-
try, and L. j. Dolson. Sieben cut
his way through the ranks to down
Ed Schaeffer, st. Cloud, in all-hole
match, then Zylla, and Bob Ryd-
holm.
Medalist for the play was Bern
ard Schoenhoff who, in the first
round elimination matches, came
home with SO.
In the first flight 1t was DR.. T..
e. Walsh, familiar figure on the
local course but Chicago resident,
winning the championship. Runner
up was Pat Dubois. Consolation
winner was c. Schaeffer, st. Cloud.
DR.. A. ]. Mayer, who hewed his
way through the competition in the
second flight, ran into real opposi-
ton on his final match. Runner
up, Ted Anderson, who lost to May
er, battled furiously with w. Scheaf-
fer in the deciding round. The
match went to 15-hole playoff be-
fore Anderson won the berth in the
second flight finals, there to be
busted off by Mayer. Consolation
winner was Phil Steiner.
st. Cloud entry Bill Murphy was
third flight winner, with Johnny
Dubois runnerup. Consolation win
ner was Jim Murphy, st. Cloud.

Football Practice
Opened Monday
Interest In Sport Has
Not Reached Top With
Prospective Squad Members

IF only had a quarterback, /"
was the statement with which
Coach Gene Harvey put the finger
on the sorest spot of his '38 foot
ball machine, as he began handing
out condition drills to his charges
this week.
With two weeks to go before the
first game, with Parkers Prairie on
September 10th, Harvey searched
this week for the best "brain," to
fill that quarterback slot, for ma
terial to mold q baclkfield, for 9TH
ers to mortar gaps In the line, left
by last years graduation losses.
Monday afternoon he trotted on
to the field, in the first workout,
a squad, he termed the smallest in
numbers in years. While the squad
numbers few now, more have sign
ed to report, but it's a disconcert-
ing note at any rate with so little
time.
Nucleus for this years edition is
a group Of eight lettermen, around
whom Harvey must whip UP team
that can stick for a full route.
Heading with Denny Ethun, cap
tain, the rest are: Ray Berggreen,
Eugene Cokeley, Hilary Egan, DON
aid Kringen, Willard Rasmussen,
James ziegler, Willard Arvig.
Outlining his program, that must
be at any rate a speedy one, Har-
vey said, well give them condi-
tioning drills, sprinting, passing,
kicking, few formation plays"
The week will be given over to TAX
ing kinks out Of muscles, and train
ing down beef to workable flesh.
The latter part Of the week Harvey
will give them the tackling and
blocking dummies to work to check
form. by Friday, If the condition
ing comes along okay, well give
them short scrimmage." It is prob
able that not until next week will
the boys get a chance at five bait
in tackling and blocking.
Reviewing the chances this year,
Harvey struck a bit Of pessimistic
tone. That opening day turnout
wasn't a morale bolsterer at best;
backfield, line, and generalship
must be developed. Some whom he
counted on to deliver, failed to re-
port.
I'm view Of the new facilities, the
fine new field, and the insurance
plan including benefits that weren't
payable last year-such as disloca-
tions-there's no reason why the
squad shouldn't be the biggest In
years." Harvey said. 1.-THE inabil-
ity of some of these boys to come
out, may be just the deciding factor
between a winning and losing ball
club" he pointed out.

TT WASN'T until five years after tie
tidal wave following the eruption
Of krakatoa that a detailed report OF
the incredible disaster was pub
lished in England.
Among the facts brought out were
these:
On May 20, 1888, booming sounds
were heard in Java, 100 miles distant.
These climaxed an explosion which
blew away the entire northern and
lower portion of krakatoa. The noise
was heard 5000 miles away.
Submarine cavities 1000 feet deep
yawned where before the island had
risen to 1,400 feet The tidal wave,
thrown up by the violent outburst. was
so feet deep when it swept the coasts
of Sumatra and Java, inundating COM
plete villages.
The wave reached Karachi. India,
3,082 miles distant, in little over
nine hourS-a speed Of $40 miles an
hour. Observers who checked its
speed from the Cape OF Good Hope
to the English Channel found 1t av-
eraged 462 miles per hour.
Greatest recorded speed Of the tidal
wave was from Krakatoa to Honolulu,
where an average speed of 800 miles
per hour was attained over the 1896
mile distance.

At one table West played q con-
tract at three clubs doubled, which he
made to score q game. In many in
stances North and South got into
serious trouble through the freakish
distribution of the hands. At several
tables South played = final contract
OF four eagles doubled and while four
eagles would ordinarily be produced
very easily on the North and South
hands, the fact that West held all five
trumps led to penalties Of two and
three tricks.
The one North and South pair that
managed to stay out Of trouble was
Edward Van Week and Charles Vogel-
hoffer. Mr.. Van Week opened his
powerful hand with one diamond,
which West overcalled with two clubs.
After Mr.. Vogelhoffer passed and
East interposed q two-heart bid, Mr..
Van Week made an informatory
double. If Mr.. Vogelhoffer had re-
sponded in his weak four-card eagle
suit, disaster would no doubt have
followed, but he simply bid three dia-
monds and that became the final
contract.
The widow on this particular hand
was q useless card for declarer. How
ever, he placed 1t In dummy and dis
carded the singleton heart. The OPEN
ing lead Of the king Of hearts was
trumped in dummy and . spade led,
East winning with the ace. East re-
turned the ace of clubs. Declarer
trumped, then ruffed q second heart
in dummy and played the king of
trumps. Another spade nnesse through
EaSt's queen was successful and at
Ills point it looked as though q game
had been missed. However, neither
diamonds nor eagles broke, and de-
clarer was forced to concede . trick
in each Of these suits, plus another
trick in hearts. In making his three
diamond contract with an overtrick
Mr.. Van Week achieved Q clear top
score.

IN THE many years that Miss Hawke
has been instructing classes in the
light fantastic she has naturally
taught many prominent people, and
when she was still in her teens she
gave instructions to Frank Hitchcock,
one-time Postmaster General and Re-
publican boss, and later she taught
Mr.. Hanahara, who subsequently be-
came Ambassador from Japan. She
has even taught the children OF the
White House, the cabinet and the most
prominent social leaders, and has been
favored even by the clergy, and upon
one occasion, when the Rev. James
Mcbride Sterrett enrolled his five sons,
he said: Il think that dancing and

corner OF Connecticut avenue and L

at the Washington Club. but is now
at the Playhouse, 1914 N street.
One of the earliest dancing teachers
Of which the present generation has
knowledge was Prof. L. G. Marini, who
began teaching here about 1865. Prior
to this the directory lists him as a
sutler, and the dictionary says that
sutler is one who follows an army
and sells provisions, liquors, etc, to
the troops. He early established him.

NV. and when this old building
was removed and Marini's Hall erected
on its site he continued at this loca-
ton until about 1888, when he moved
to Masonic Temple, Ninth and F
streets.
Prof. Marini had very fine school,
attended by Washington's elite, and
here for a while he was assisted by
Miss Flora Cook, who, as Mrs. Denni-
