so won the help Of the delightful

in an undesirable situation. The
four young people, Dana, Valerie,

dealings with the legislature. Diff
ferences naturally arise, but I was
told that the governor has a policy
Of comforting with legislators on
important problems, calling them
into formal conferences and giving
them an opportunity to air their
views. However, he still believes
strongly in the separation of the
powers of the legislature and the
executive.
AS rural editor who was sand
wiched into the governors private
office between delegation from
the Arrowhead country and groups
Of legislators comforting on the lab
or relations and civil service bills,
naturally had no exhaustive in
terview with the states chief exc
cutive. But I did receive the i'm
preston the governor is giving in
telligent consideration to the diff
ficult problem facing the state,
considering not one class but the
welfare Of the people as a whole.
The governor says he believes in
carrying over his spirit Of friendly
cooperation to his relationship with
the public. That is the reason for
his Wednesday evening broadcasts
in which he reports to the people
on the problem confronting the
state. These broadcasts, original
ing from the governors private Of
flee, were inaugurated because he
felt the people had the right to
know what was going on in the
capitol-and in the governors
mind.

three months as this states chief
executive.
Visitors who come to the COVER

that fact themselves, but they get
the proof from Billy Williams, exc
cutive messenger in the governors
office for 80 years who has seen
II governors come and go. He will
tell you frankly Harold Stassen

work and his devotion to his Job
Despite this impression Of hard
work, a spirit Of friendliness and
cooperation still prevades the exc
cutive offices. With a constant
stream of legislators, job-seekers

Mr.. and Mrs. Average Minnesota

Mr.. Stassen still finds time to ster
into the reception room at II a. m
and 3 p. m. each day to greet Wis
itors who hope to see the governor
for moment without previous ap.
pointment.
This plan Of greeting the public
was inaugurated by John A. John
son, the late great governor from
st. Peter who had a twofold pur.
pose in mind: to greet the people
and give visitors an opportunity to
view the governors reception room
in the capitol which just had been
finished at that time.
Governor Stassen is the first
executive since Johnson to adopt
that plan, and it was done because
of his announced intention of max
ing the governor more accessible
to the public. Legislators still
have precedence to the governors
private office, but employees in the
offices find time to greet other Wis
itors and arrange appointments.
Many school children, both from
the Twin Cities and from out state
visit the governors office. They
are given autographed pictures OF
the governor, taken through the
various offices and given an oppor-
tunity to visit the entire building

the pictures Of some Of the states
famed chief executives lining the

at Governor Stassen's suggestion,
and they include two Of particular

The story of two men and wom-

charming wife of the commanding
officer.
Camilla, beautiful, American, and
Southerner, is twenty years her
husbands junior. A woman of hon.
or, she is woman none the less.
Major Thomas Rockingham,
Rusty" to his comrades, scion of
an aristocratic military family, is
man Of action. Respected by
men, women usually fell in love
with him. With his birth and
breeding he'd as soon think of fall
ing in love with another mans
wife as fly to the moon.
Colonel Sir Guy Wethered, COM
mandant and "Rusty's" chief, is
reverently called the Hadk of his
men. Fierce of eye, dictatorial of
voice, with swift intelligence and
boundless self-assurance, he was
admired as a masterful but incalcu-
able personality. His marriage to
Camilla caused a sensation.

It won't come this year--but
with continued pressure the
system will find continued
growing favor. On the surface
q like the plan. -.
The Inducements in this dis
trict whisper about that the sys-
tenn Of everyone in sub-district play
will be of next year. It may
not be off, but I understand that
the suggestion will be made that
It be abandoned. Tiny Blaha,
who fostered the idea as a sub
stitute to the other system, pointed
to the road Sank Centre plowed up
this year in repeating. ;. But that
matters little. Neither system is
without a multitude Of sins. ;.
Toftness reported that q lot
Of coaches had run into the
foM luck Of Illness during tour
naments. I remarked that he
was sure enough lucky. 1--WE
take care Of our boys" he smil-
ed knowingly. And then
launched into the best sales talk
for cod liver oil these old ears
have ever heard.
Sank Centre and Melrose schools
have kissed and made up; and the
battles can continue. A hysteric
rivalry that ended on the playing
field at Melrose two years ago at
football game will be resumed
it is reported. Just what the
terms Of the truce were, I can't
say. But the whole thing came to
a head this year after Sank Centre
trounced Melrose roundly at the
sub-district basketball meet.
Toftness is glad and so are the
people around the street. Melrose
is too attractive a game on the
schedule to be omitted. So ends
another chapter in the tales OF
these two cities. :.
For Don Deziel and Leslie
Ogren things didn't work out as
they wanted. Les, q former
Sank Centre boy, was q Hutch
inson player at the state meet.
Don was a member of this Sank
Centre crew Of basketeers. -.
As lads the two had played to-
gether here. Deziels had lived
in an upstairs apartment when
the Ogrens lived below. The
two were hoping against hope
that the two teams would meet
together In the state. Had
we busted off Breckenridge, 1t
might have been. The two
spent sometime together at the

year. Sunday, tho in the lee

still lies, bunch Of the boys were

Horse shoe pitching va,llted in
to the high popularity bracket this
week. The lads have stuck
a couple of stakes up in the vacant
lot on Main Street, next to Otto
Bros, and the lads are finding it
airy out there pitching the
shoes. Sunday it drew crowds
at the double courts. Bicycling
and kite flying ran to new high
this week. But what in heav-
ems name has happened to the

And Talk of FisMn'-
Biggest knock at the door OF
state basketball setup is a new
workable plan for conducting the
elimination contests that presage
the state championship. The
voice Of the smaller schools, carried
in this column two weeks ago, calls
for a segregation Of schools, &C.
cording to size, to run Examinations
along the A, B, and possibly
basis. This setup obviously has
its merits, is much improved over
any system heretofore tried. -.
The squabbles between the
larger and smaller schools In
district 20 Is not an isolated
case. In nearly every district
I'm the state the fight is SINH
Lar. The larger schools contend
they should have favored selec-
ton because they are the crowd
pullers, perform a better brand
of ball. Smaller schools con-
tend they must have justice. -.
District 22 has Topped about
from one system to another.
Years ago all teams entered d.
rectly the district meet, played
until one team exhausted all
others, was the winner.
Then came q setup In which
four larger schools were auto
matically sent to the district
and the smaller brothers fought
1t out between them to choose
four entries. :. Then this year
that was ruled out and all play
ed in sub-district contests. -.
But because it obviously correct
ed nothing, and ultimately ended
as the other system had with the
larger schools in front ranks, the
system is finding little favor in re.
petition. -.
Coach j. N. Toftness, who
hailed in here from North Da-
kota, is an advocate of the div
isional rating. He reported
that at the state tournament
most coaches seemed to favor
such q plan. Smaller schools,
of course, favor 1t. Simply the
plan proceeds along this line.
Say all schools with senior
high enrolment Of 800 fall I'm
class A. Assume that schools
from $50 to 800 fall in Class b,
and all others rate in the Class
@ group. Such segregati0ns
play of in their own class; but
may challenge schools in lar
ger groups If they think they're
strong. :. If they're strong,
and don't want to take chances,
they proceed in their own brac-
ket. 80.
Most obvious fault lies in the
border line schools. And so I ask
ed loft about it. In North Dakota
the system set 300 as minimum for
Class A schools. Now Grand Forks
with 297 obviously had preferred
position in class B because of their
size. And at the other end of
the tally there are similar instances,
/. But over all the plan seems
to provide for a system of bal
ance that will eliminate the usual
pairings squabble and the like.
