Interesting Display

Sank Centre will be given an
historic panorama in a display OF
early day pictures, rummaged out
of the attics Of local residents, that
go on exhibit today, Thursday, at
the Bryant Library.
Now curious features, that were
stock in the early life, like the
stage coaches, the bowler hats, the
board walks, yoke Of oxen, are all
traced in these early photographs
that were gathered over several
weeks time by Miss Bernice Fin
negan, librarian. The pictures are
a pattern Of life in this community

interesting: This is a new town in
Minnesota, started in August, 1857
1t is situated on Ashley River, near
Fairy Lake, and is about so miles
N. w. from st. Cloud, on the new
State Road leading to the Red Riv-
err of the north. Total distance
from st. Paul is 122 miles. The
soil Of this part Of Minnesota is
exceedingly rich and there Is abund-
ance Of timber, the town being on
a small prairie one mile from the
Big Woods. There is also good
water-power on the river; and the
whole country is pleasingly diver

excellent water"

Families
SYMBOLIC OF COURAGE
Everyone Asked To
Aid In Worthwhile
Undertaking

Saturday, May 9th, will be Poppy
Day in Sank Centre when members
Of the service Auxiliaries will sell
peoples on the streets all day
This custom has been in vogue for
several years since the great war
Of 1917, and it's purpose is to aid
and assist disabled war veterans,
their families and the widows and
orphans bereft Of providers through
that conflict.
It is proper and fitting that just
before Memorial Day, when the re-
membrance Of departed soldiers
again becomes fresh in the minds
and hearts Of those left behind,
that we offer a token Of apprecia-
ton for their services. This is
done through the sale Of peoples,
and everyone is given an opportun-
ity to help in this cause.
Why do we wear the scarlet
Memorial Day Poppy? The answer
is two-fold, and is given as follows
in bulletin provided by the Amer
lean Legion Auxiliary:
First: These little paper peoples
made by our disabled world war
veterans, are replicas of the lovely
little wild flower which sprang up
on the battle fields Of France, which
were drenched in the blood OF
American doughboys; they are
symbolic Of the courage and vigor
of those over whose graves thew

DON'T ROCK THE BOAT

Holidays usually terminate with announcements
of fatalities and accidents throughout the nation and
while some unavoidable, many of them need new
er happen With Decoration Day falling on Tues
day, making possible four-day weekend holiday,
safety organizations urge that motorists drive with
and that others enjoying the pleasures of SWIM
ming and fishing use precaution.
From the Red Cross, which has established
514 emergency highway first aid stations through
out the country, comes the following warning to
motorists:
BE careful of pedestrians at night"
observe the rules of right-of-way; when in
doubt give the other fellow the benefit"
when passing make certain the road is clear
ahead"
Don't pass near the top of hill, or on blind
corners"
Drive slowly and carefully after dark as 81
percent OF all rural pedestrian accidents occur be-
tween p. m and midnight"
To the above let us add Don't rock the boat
and Watch your step while swimming" You may
drive fast in the procession of joy today process
sion of sorrow may walk slowly behind you to-
morrow.
