of the band provoked enthusiast
tic applause, beginning with the
response to the brass section in
March of The Steel Men," con-
tinued after the performance of
the Jolly Robbers Overture" ana
reaching its greatest heights at
the conclusion of the clarinet solo

ton in Colonel Bogey' march

Township Relief
Measure Beaten

st. Paul Up A measure to
place administration of relief
throughout the state on a county
basis, by transferring such func-
tons from the townships in 81
counties, was killed by the house
towns and counties committee af-
ter a number of proponents and
opponents voiced their senti-
mentS.
The measure, introduced by
speaker Lawrence Hall of st.
Cloud, would revise the present
system allowing residents of
ropaties to decide whether direct
relief would be administered by
township or county officials.
Some 81 counties now have the
township system. 1t would eli
inmate counties containing cities
of the first class-Hennepin,
Ramsey and ST. Louis. The lat
ter two, however, are now operat-
ing on the county system.
-Orville C. Peterson, attorney
for the Minnesota League of
Municipalities, argued IN support
of the bill that it would improve
service and possibly cut direct
relief costs.
w. w. Bane, city attorney of
Brainerd, pointed out that all
forms of aid to the needy except
direct relief are now administer
ed on a countrywide basis, and
urged that direct relief be includ-
ed in the general set-up. An
swering a question by commit
teeman George Hagen of Crooks
ton, Bane said the present law
leaves the question of town or
county system to be decided at
any election, with resulting in
stability.

SPEECH PROGRAM
REVISED, SCHOOL
HERE MAY ENTER
HUMOROUS, DRAMATIC
CLASSES REPLACED
UNDER NEW PLAN

Redwood Falls High school
students probably will take part
in defamation work next year,
following drastic revision of the
Minnesota State High School
leagues speech program, Reede
Gray, superintendent here, stated
this week. A member of the
leagues board of control, he at
tended the meeting last week at
which several league rules were
revised.
Students here did not compete
in declam this year, one-act
play program being substituted.
Instead of the oratorical, dra-
matte and humorous divisions of
other years, the new program in
cludeS four classes of speech
training.
Oratorical defamation selec-
ton
Original oratory
Interpretative reading
ExtemporaneouS speaking.
All four classes will be open to
girls as well as boys and rather
than be strictly competitive, con-
tests will be more on the music
festival idea, subject to helpful
criticism rather than judging and
ranking.
The value of the program to
students is expected to be great
ly enhanced by encouraging orr
ginal work and extemporaneous
speaking. Elimination of drama
tic and humorous classes is in
tended to encourage use of selec-
tions with more literary value.

Added to the 210 lives saved in
January, the February mark

the January and February death
totals were the lowest for those

The most encouraging phase of
the sustained improvement, the
