Creamery's November
Payroll Totals $4,000
Production For Year
Estimated To Reach Near
Three-Quarter Million Pounds

Sauk Lake Cooperative Creamery
will set new butter production
record this year, it was learned this
week as Secretary George Strauss
issued November payroll amount
ing to $4,000.
Topping in eleven months any
other production mark set in an en-
tire year, indications point strong
ly that production will fall Just
short of the three-quarter million
pounds mark, he indicated. Though
figures are incomplete at this time,
this years figure will set q new
record in the nearly 30-year history
Of the local creamery, will top the
former record year Of about 642, 900
pounds.
In November of this year when
the creamery paid 80 cents for
sweet cream butterfat, the manu-
facture of butter topped the same
month Of last year by nearly 10000
pounds. Manufactured this Nov
ember were $4,000 pounds.
Strengthening this years high
production were months May and
June when the creamery in two
successive months shattered month
ly butter make" records. June,
highest month Of the year and rec
ord month with the creamery, peak
ed at 10000 pounds.

provided by voluntary contributions
sent to the Home during December
as Christmas donations.
Since the picture Boys Town,
made at Father Flanagan's Boys
Home, began appearing in
theaters throughout the country
last fall. Father Flanagan's wor-
ries have increased, due to an in
creasing number OF boys asking
admission to the Boys Town home.
Father Flanagan has turned
down more than HOO applications
from boys for admission this year.
Last year, before the picture show
ed, more than 700 applications were
made in excess Of the Homes cap
acity.
"The Boys Town picture" said
Father Flanagan, has done much
to make the people Of the country
more conscious Of the need Of
caring for homeless boys, and the
producers of the picture did a
service to the country when they
made Boys Town.
Incidentally, the picture in
creased the demands upon our
Home and ! have faith that the
contributions will continue to come
from friends who want our boys
to have happy Christmas and
who also want the Home to be
maintained with difficulty through
out the coming year. But Decem-
Der Is a mighty long month to me
because at the end of December we
will know whether the outlook for
next year Is bright or dark"

Conservation Advisory Council,
proposed a reduction from $500 to
$500 for nonresident fishing IL
censes with a $3.50 license fee for
the wife Of man who purchases
a license. The council members
were unanimous in their vote on
all of the legislative proposals con-
sidered.
Among other recommendations
made by the commissioner and ap-
proved by the council ares To
amend the present laws relating to
rough fish removal to permit the
department to remove rough fish
wherever 1t becomes necessary,
and to classify perch as rough fish,
for removal where this species be-
comes too numerous. At the pre-
sent time perch are classed as
game fish and rough fish removal
Is dependent largely upon market
conditions.
The proposal to amend the pre-
sent law, which authorizes the de-
partment to issue licenses and reg
ulate pond minnow producers, to
make it effective, was unanimously
adopted, as was the proposal to
license and regulate the harvesting
Of wild rice.
Authority to regulate the open
ing and closing of rabbit seasons
classify them as game, would be
given under another Of the propo-
sails adopted by the council mem
bers, and another would authorize
the department to acquire or lease
inexpensive lands between lakes
or elsewhere, fer waterfowl or up.
land game shooting. The present
game refuge and public hunting
law provides that a certain portion
of all such lands be set aside as
refugees. 1t is contended that this

selves constitute the refuge
Aquatic food plants would be
planted in such lakes.
The next council meeting will be
held on December 30 for the con,
sideration of other legislative pro
posals dealing with conservation
matters.

Charged With Misde-
meanor Under Age Act
Responsible For $3.50 Paid
Invalid WOman-Nothing
Shows "GOod Samaritan"
Made Personal Gain

Gerrit Jansen, 43, former investi-
gator for the Stearns county well
fare board, was charged last week
with a gross misdemeanor under
the old age assistance act.
His arrest was instructed in a
warrant issued by Stearns author
tiles and arraignment in municipal
court followed.
Name Ineligible Recipient
The complaint, which welfare
board chairman Clifford Bemis was
instructed to sign by the body,
charged Jansen with aiding Anna
Danials, Of Greenwald, in obtaining
old age assistance she was not en-
titled to.
Authorities said that the woman
had not reached the eligible age of
65 when Jansen made it possible
for her to receive old age assist
ance beginning in the month of
August, 1885. She has received $50
per month since, bringing the total
amount received to $3.50.
Anna Daniels Is bedridden
and an invalid.
Jansen was discharged by the
welfare board with negligence and
inefficiency when an investigation
disclosed discrepancies in relief
cases under his jurisdiction in the
county. Members of the board said
they had found number of cases
where ineligible clients were re-
ceiving old age assistance with con-
sequent mis-payment Of an inde-
terminable amount Of relief funds
over a period Of two years.
No Personal Gain Seen
The Danials count is just one OF
many that could be made against
the ex-investigator, it was declared.
Authorities were confident,
however, that Jansen was mo-
tivated by but q single inten-
tion-tO help those In need.
There Is nothing on the record
to show any personal gain.-St'
Cloud Sentinel
Editors note-Mr. Jansen Is a
respected farmer of the Padua COM
munity. Bonds for his appearance
were signed by prominent Padua
farmers, both neigh bors and
friends.)

PwA WAGE SCHEDULES

Because the PWA grants As per
cent of the costs, 1t reserves the
right to approve the wage sched-
ule for all projects for which 1t
has approved grants, Thus, in ST.
Peter, the city council had to sub
NIT wage schedules to- the PWA
officials on both the hospital and
swimming pool jobs.
But here's the strange part
about this matter. The PWA has
insisted in both cases in setting
schedules Of pay which are con-
siderably higher than the "going
rate" Of wages for the commun-
ity. Now we don't object to hav-
ing the government set the pace
in the matter of wages, but such
an action did lead to a rather
peculiar result here in St. Peter.
Several carpenters employed on
the Gustavus field house, which
is being erected on a private con-
tract, failed to appear one day;
and the contractor upon investi-
cation discovered that the men
were working on the swimming
pool being erected under PWA
regulations here. They left pri.
vate employment in order to OBJ
tain work on this PWA job which
paid higher wages.
Architects point out that costs
Of jobs under the regulations Of
the Public Works administration
run approximately 10 per cent
higher than they do under private
contractors. And now we have
the rather amazing situation Of
the government itself helping to
hire men away from private in
dustry; when the actual purpose
of the PWA is to stimulate pri-
vate business industry to further
expansion.-St. Peter Herald.
