it possible for them to avoid un-

Push Memorial Field Work;
May be Completed This Year
AMPHITHEATRE SEAT.
ING 500 STARTED FOR
SOFTBALL, BASEBALL

Memorial Field, started three
years ago this month as a five
year project, will be completed
this fall, barring unforeseen cir
cumStanceS.
The vast amount of preliminary
work necessary to such a project
has been completed and workmen
are finishing the part that
shows" this spring and summer.
Right now work is being rushed
on the track which must be ready
for the district ten track meet
Saturday, May 13. Redwood Falls
will defend its district track title
with strong team in the first
track event on the field.
Meanwhile another crew has
started work on the granite am
phitheatre which will seat spec
tators for baseball and softball
games. About 500 will be accom-
modated in permanent seats built
into the banks along first and
third baselineS and behind home
plate while bleachers can be err
ected behind them on the banks
for special occasions when large
crowds are anticipated Part of
the amphitheatre will be ready
for the opening of the softball
season this summer. r. F. Byram
is foreman of the project.
Stone has been quarried and
cut for the remaining work on the
football stadium where work will
be resumed when the more ur-
gently needed track and amphi-
theatre are completed. This part
of the project is expectd to be
completed by autumn.
Much of the landscape work
was done last fall when some two
dozen trees were planted under
the supervision of Donald Chap
pell of Whitewater State park,
landscape architect. Shrubs have
not yet been put in and probably
will not be before fall, but the
ornamental part of the field has
been seeded.

Filings For School
Board Close May 4

The annual school board cleo
ton in Redwood Falls will be held
the third Tuesday in May, under
a bill passed by the state legisla-
ture. Previous elections were in
July.
This year the third Tuesday
falls on May Is. Filings will close
May 4.
Terms of Parker D. Sanders,
board clerk and Gus N. Nelson
expire this year.
The bill was sponsored by sew
eral educational associations since
interest is not SO high in school
affairs in the summer as when
school is in session. The law af-
fects all independent districts.
Annual meetings of rural
schools will be held on the last
Tuesday in June, according to
newly enacted legislation.
Officials whose terms would ex-
pire at the July election will hold
over, but not beyond July /. This
applies to rural and independent
schools alike.

MRS. S. B. DUEA ELECT
ED PRESIDENT FOR '39
AT MEETING MONDAY

Because it is generally recog-
nized that there can be no better
children without better parents,
Mrs. Marion Faegre of the in
stitute of child welfare of the
University of Minnesota stressed
the growing importance of par
ents education in her talk to
members of the Parent Teacher
association Monday afternoon.
More and more it is being under
stood, she said, that for the most
important profession in the world,
there has been the poorest pre-
paration.
Regardless of theories advanced
at the time of the establishment
of the institute in 1926" Mrs.
Jaeger continued "any parent
education program which centers
on the mistakes of parents is de-
cidedly wrong. Harmonious par
ents are a good augury for the
happiness of their children in
their married lives and the fam
ily's attitude toward all funda-
mentals determines to great ex-
tent the future happiness of its
younger members.
