Death Rate Less
Than One Percent
Births Rise To Three
Year High, Records Of
Health Officer Reveal

AS Sank Centre rolled into the
new year-1939, a death rate of less
than one percent during 1938-at
least a three year low-was levelled
still more in an increasing birth
rate that more than trebled over
the number Of deaths.
A death rate that claimed only
20 lives in the city, according to
records Of the City Health Officer,
DR.. w. johnson, was pronounced
uncommonly low.
With births rising to a three year
high, Sir Stork was busy making
70 visits in city homes during 1888
With 1887 giving the city more
males in birth, 1888 completely
turned the tables, found 43 girls
born in this city and SO boys. In
complete reversal to the national
scheme in which the birth rate
among girls is declining rapidly is
this turn Of affairs. In 1887 the
total of IS was 81 boys and % girls.
In 1886 II were born here.
Eliminating the natural causes
that bring into or take from the
community, families, 1888 showed a

Will
Show Poems
of DR.. Dubois
Display Will Be
Open To Public
Beginning Today

The man, who longest "fathered''
the Bryant Library from its early
years until his death in 1887 cut
from Main Street a familiar figure
with a Windsor tie and a waving
cane, is to be honored by that in
stitution this week, Miss Bernice
Finnegan, librarian, announced.
Poetry from the pen of the late
DIR. J. A. Dubois, that today carve
a pattern Of life, as he saw 1t, is
to be on display at the library this
week beginning today, Thursday.
Manuscripts, with pencil and ink
markings for corrections, his scrap
book, scarcely touched, several of
the few published works, secured
from his sons here, are to be feat
ured in the display. They are to
be the first in a series Of winter
time displays and collaborated ar
ticles sponsored at the library hon.
oring literary efforts Of both Sank
Centre and Stearns county resi-
dents.
Miss Finnegan pointed out this
week that because Of the tireless
efforts Of DR.. Dubois in fostering
the growth Of the library from the
time when he carried the entire
extent Of volumes "in a dry goods
box" from one place to another
until his death left the presidents
chair of the Board vacant in May,
1887, it was fitting that his poetic
efforts be first recognized in this
unusual series.
The pen Of this country doctor,
who made poetry a hobby and an
outlet for his PHILOSOPHERS and life
as he saw It, was q versatile one.
Current events, politics, philosophy,
nature, bird lore, nothing escaped
all fell in the cleaving path Of his
almost ceaseless writing. OF death
he wrote, and idealism; but Of life
he wrote IF life Is worth living at
all, 1t is worth living WELL"
Only several times he collected
related poems to be published. One
Of them in 1895, he called Brush"
Another was a series Of poems he
wrote on war. These are to be
displayed along with the others In
a collection that has not been COM
piled.

Nine Fifty-Ton Jacks
Used To Move
Brick Structure
SCHOOL REOPENED
Senior Classes Conducted
In Several Nearby
Buildings

Severe weather conditions. rain
ana sleet on Monday, delayed NOV
ing OF the Senior High school build
ing for a day, but operations were
resumed Tuesday. Actual moving
OF the building was commenced
last week Wednesday afternoon.
and with exception of stormy
weather little delay has been ex-
perienced. On Tuesday afternoon
the structure had been moved al
most halfway of the old founda-
ton.
Moving Of the building is being
accomplished by the aid of nine
fifty-ton jackscrews, which have
been placed at the back of the
school in almost horizontal posi-
ton. Nine men man these Jacks.
and at the sound Of a whistle each
man gives a quarter turn, thus
pushing the large brick structure
ahead. When the jacks are extend
ed to the limit of expansion, it is
necessary to turn them back and
reset them. The building is rolled
along at the rate Of an eighth of
an inch at each quarter turn Of the
jacks. It is being moved on steel
tracks, with small rollers.
The structure is being moved for
ward and when placed in line with
the new foundation it will be NOV
ed to westward. Plans at present
are that moving will be completed
and the building will be set on the
foundation sometime between Feb
ruary 18th and Doth.
School opened Monday after the
holiday vacation, and students, who
formerly attended in the Senior
High building, now are housed in
various buildings in the vicinity
Of the school property. Places now
utilized for the instruction of Sem
Tor High pupils are the Masonic
Temple, the Bryant Library, the
Congregational Church, and the
lunchroom and gymnasium of the
Junior High school building. Two
hundred and fifty students are af-
fected by this charge and although
this arrangement produces difficult
ty, school is being conducted effic-
iently under the circumstances.

Precautions Urged
Against Measles
Parents Warned To Watch
For Early Symptoms-Few
Cases In This Community

Precautionary measures to head
off any outbreak of measles, that
is sweeping much Of the surround
ing territory in veritable epidemic
proportions, are being strengthen
ed In both the public and st. Paul's
schools this week as warning was
sounded to parents to watch head
colds, sneezing, red watery eyes,"
As school nurse, Miss Esther
Bone, checked absentee slips this
week, watched returning students
for early signs Of the disease, she
reported one case in q family east
Of the city.
Doctors reported widespread cas-
es in Grey Eagle, Waite Park and
other points. Adults, too, are be-
ing hit, they said, and some cases
are quite severe. Three deaths
were reported in one community.
A bulletin from the Minnesota
Department Of Health may be of
some benefit. 1t points out meas
les in the most contagious common
childhood disease. It occurs In
epidemic proportions about every
three years, usually in winter, and
according to records 1885 was q
high point, designating this winter
as high again.
Parents were asked to watch
head colds, sneezing, red watery
eyes as possible early symptoms of
the disease. Call your family ply
stefan If you suspect any symptoms,
isolate the child at once.
Miss Bone pointed out that one
contact case, coming to school by
bus, can expose forty other pupils.
Measles Is q weakening disease.
Children under three comprise only
a tenth Of all cases but bear half
Of all deaths, said the bulletin.
It can be dangerous.
Weather, with wide variance In
temperatures, such as this winter
has exhibited, promotes colds, nose
and throat infections, doctors point
out. Parents were asked to dress
children uniformly to avoid taking
cold. Once an epidemic starts, 1t
was pointed out, there IL little to
be done. Now Ia the time to keep
cases from arising in the local
schools.

Local People At
tended Lewis Play
Sank Centre People
Enjoyed Performance At
Indianapolis, Ind, Monday

A letter received Wednesday
morning from A. ]. Arneson states
that he and Mrs. Arneson are en-
joying a delightful week at Indian
apolis, Indiana, with their son, Ed
ward. He said the weather was
very warm there, and that it rain
ed Monday.
The following is an interesting
paragraph from his letter, insofar
as Sank Centre people are now
planning to attend the Sinclair
Lewis play in Minneapolis, next
Thursday: Attended the Sinclair
Lewis play at the English Theatre
last night (Monday.) Mr.. Lewis
plays his part well as a pinch hit
ter-but in my opinion he Is a bet
ter writer than actor"
Mr.. Arneson enclosed several
clippings about the play, among
them a newspaper reporters inter-
view with Sinclair Lewis, which in
part, Is al follows:
Lewis says he knows he Is not
an actor. That is the reason Philip
Merivale is going to take over
Lewis's role in the play within the
next two or three weeks.
But am I going to have fun
when I retire. chortled Lewis. I'm
going to stay on with the company
and I have in mind plan to speak
prologues and epilogues with each
performance. And what won't do
to the critics! Why, I'll be able to
say anything within libel and bias
