Mrs. Hanauer and Son
Returned From West
Visited With Relatives In
CalifOrnia-Made Motor
Trip of 5000 Miles

Hightlighting motor trip, that
covered more than 5000 miles of the
western part of this country, for
Mrs. M. J. Hanauer and her SON.
Herbert, was visit with a brother
whom she had not seen for sc
years, she reported after arriving
home in this city last Friday eve
ming.
The brother is A. j. Anderson,
Of Live Oak, who for forty years
has been in California. He is a
former Osakis resident, and just
never got back home" Mrs. Han
auer said. 1t was visit both had
long looked for.
For the past three weeks the
two had been on the road, going
by way of the southern route, Wis
iting in Los Angeles, San Diego
Live Oak, Sacramento and San
Francisco, and returning by way
of Salt Lake City, Utah. While
the outward bound trip took six
days, travelling time was cut to
four on the return, she reported
In Sacramento they saw the on
ly former Sank Centre residents
on the trip. There they visited
Mrs. w. J. Barron and family, and
Mr.. and Mrs. Don Barron. 1.-THE
Barrons wanted to be remembered
to all their friends here, she re-
ported for them.
Describing the now-opened San
Francisco International Exposition
as a wonderful sight," she said
the day they made their visit at
Treasure Island 40,500 others too
had registered that day. Because
they allowed only one day on that
tour, they had to forego the city
Of San Francisco, and confined
their visit to the Fair grounds it.
SELF" Mrs. Hanauer explained.
1T was certainly an enjoyable
trip" she said. California has
beautiful climate, and the oranges
were in bloom when we arrived"
But most impressive sight to her
was her very first view Of the
ocean. At Los Angeles a niece took
them on a cruiser for an ocean
trip. THAT was the biggest thrill
Of my whole trip" she said.

Many Poisonous Plants
Grow in Fields, Marshes

More than 200 different species Of
poisonous plants, according to esti-
mates, grow in some states. Some
are cultivated in gardens, but the
majority grow wild in fields,
marshes, woods, or along the road
side.
Some are dangerous because they
may be eaten by humans, particu.
larly children, either because they
resemble plants known to be harm
less or because the fruit or flowers
are attractive. Among the plants
poisonous when eaten by man are:
Lily-of-the-valley = A cultivated
ornamental Of the garden.
Pokeweed-A tall perennial herb
common In clearings, open woods,
and along the borders of woods.
The most poisonous part Of this
plant is the large, fieshy root. Chill
dren are sometimes poisoned from
eating the berries.
MOnkSnood-Plan cultlVateQ In
the garden for ornament.
Red baneberry-A native peren-
NAL herb found in rich woodlands.
The red fruit of this plant, and its
relative, the white baneberry, are
poisonous when eaten.
Thorn apple or Jimson weed-An
annual herb found In cultivated
fields and waste places on light
soils. The fruit and seeds are espe.
cially poisonous.
Other plants to guard against in
clude the water hemlock, the Euro
pean bittersweet, the common ell
der or elderberry, and purple fox.

Questions Pertaining
To Agriculture

I have a few large brown bugs
that frequent my Kitchen sink and
pantry. How can they be cOntroil-
ed? Might these be c0ckr0aches?
Generally ccckroaches may be
recognized by their quick move
ments, rather long feelers and the
fact that they are commonly seen
at night. They prefer warm, dark,
damp locations, such as cracks
around sinks and water pipes, es-
pecially near food or waste. Sod
ium fluoride, poisonous white
dust, sometimes colored for safety.
if carefully busted on places where
the reaches run will usually kill
most of them. They will use their
mouths to clean the dust from
their legs. This results in death
after few days. Repeated spread
ings of the powder may be needed
to kill reaches that hatch later.
Keep sodium fluoride away from
food and children.-Harold III. She

Can a pad be used under q kitch-
en- linoleum?
Where floor is cracked or UNI
even, a soft pad of newspapers
may be used to even up the floor,
reduce wear, and eliminate break
ing and cracking in the linoleum.-

What Is the difference In food
value between brown and white
sugar?
Brown sugar is more moist and
it takes tablespoons to give as
much energy 600 calories) as 2
tablespoons of white sugar. Sugar
is valuable only as an energy-giv-
ing food.-Inez Hobart, Extension

Judge Ahles Presented Per
spective For Youth Work

stated that today we hear more
about child welfare, than we did
when he was boy. At that time
the home, school and church took
care Of the training of youth, and
they did good job, as most of the
middle-aged people of today turn
ed out to be a pretty good pro-
duct. We hear more about child
welfare today, he said, and there
are reasons for it, as times have
changed during the past 40 or so
years. Problems exist now which
did not exist years ago. When
school duties were completed, there
were chores about the house which
kept the children busy. This has
changed.
Children have become accustom-
ed, through greater leisure, to seek
entertainment away from homes,
and homes have disintegrated. The
father goes one place, the mother
another, and this, more or less, has
caused disintegration Of family
life. Unemployment and hardships
The Sauk Centre herald. (Sauk Centre, Stearns County, Minn.) 1886-current, 1939-03-30

have q tendency, ne continued, 10
create problems among children.
Health, eyesight and hearing are
problems of one group; another
group, the post-school youth also
should have our sympathy. They
do not care to or cannot go to col
lege, and can find nothing to do.
'Idleness is the Devils Work
shop" he continued, and enforced
idleness is terrible. Our youth are
definitely and unconsciously affect
ed by the theatre, literature and
magazines. Bad literature and
movies of the past have injured
youth, and several organizations
did some very effective work in
correcting those evils. Slot ma
chimes, he said, have caused boys
to steal money, and tough dances
have caused trouble for many
young girls. We have different
society and community life, he con-
tinued, and we can no longer say
"let the church, home and school
do It." but everyone must help.
He, however, said, that the youth
of today are no worse than years
ago, and that if we keep our eyes
open they can grow up to be as
good men and women as ever. In
herently the children are good, and
they did not bring about these
things themselves. There must be
a reason somewhere, and that rea-
son should be found by the women
Of the communities, through the
cooperation of the teachers. The
communities must do something to
prevent children from becoming de-
linquent or maladjusted. We must
approach this problem with the
view that EVERY child is our child"
A child can go wrong without be-
ing viscious, the trouble may be
eyesight, poor hearing, misunder-
standing. He requested the forma-
ton of a social welfare council to
help the children of the commun-
ity, and asked the ladies present
to be the first in the county to
form such an organization.
In closing he stated that it was
necessary to create wholesome
amusement, school dances, and ath-
letic events, to offset the bad places
and to keep the young people from
absorbing bad influences. He con-
cluded that when you do something
for the children of the community,
you do it for your children. Any
thing good done for the children
will reflect upon the community
and those who take part in such
a program will leave something to
the community which in the future
will have value, and will produce
a spiritual and material welfare for
the young people of our county.
The executive council had its
first meeting on Tuesday, March

ficer-and the accused under or der of the Court might be i'm mediately incarcerated. -.
 It happens that within the past few years some of those who were placed on probation betrayed the confidence of the Court, and abused the confidence reposed in them by MT. Harris, the Probation Officer. That is too bad for this reason: Ordinarily that sort of conduct by one on probation would greatly tend to prejudice others who might be proper sub jects for proba tion. So that every one of you should feel that you have not only the burden of be- having as you should, but also the burden and duty of so order ing your conduct that other Judg- es, and particularly the Court which extended the clemency to you, might feel justified in repos- ing that confidence in you,-be- cause, If you betray this trust, which is repoSed in you, it will re- suit in your immediate incarcer- ation, and that is bad thing for others who may be. perhaps, ore deserving than you. You must ~e- member that when you are brought in here charged with any of these offenses the law abiding citizens of the community have a right to believe that. they will be protected from your fur ther depredations and many of them naturally may feel that each and every one of you should be locked up and should be kept locked up. And so, as you sec it now, as it now stands in the pres ent situation at least, the only one that can get you in jail now is yourself and, in the same breath, the only one who can keep you out of jail is yourself.

 I hope that you will consider that deeply and report to MT. Harris at once and abide by his instructions carefully.
 Bear this in mind, too: It quite often happens that when the term of probation expires and MT. Har-

CHEMICAL GROUP
 CONFINES TODAY
Dr.. Paul Emmett to Ad- dress Group at West
 Hartford College

The January meeting of the Connecticut Valley Section of the American Chemical Society will be held at St. Joseph's College, West Hartford today. The meeting will be called to order at .4:30 D. m. by chairman Philip s. Barnhardt. Dr. Paul H. Emmett of Johns Hopkins University will speak on "The Use of Low Temperature Absorption Isotherms for the Measuring of the Surface Area of Catalysts and oth- CT Finely Divided Materials" His lecture will be applied particularly to the snythesiS of ammonia. The same lecture has also been given in Schnectady and Providence under the auspices of the sections in the vicinity of those cities.
 A method will be described for measuring the surface area of var ious finely divided porous catalysts and other materials by determining the absorption isotherms of gases such as nitrogen, or argon at liquid air temperatures. So far the method has been applied successfully to a number of catalysts, oxides, gels, in- organic salts, punice, soils. soil col loids, decolorizing cartoons, char coal and paint pigments. Surface areas measured vary from 002 to 2123 square meters per gram. The theory and practice of the method will be critically discussed and the possible utility of the method out lined.
 The executive committee will meet betore the general meeting at 3:30 p. Iii. Secretary c. s. Webber has received notice from c. L. Parsons, secretary of the National organization stating that the mem- bership of the Connecticut Valley Section is now over 200 members and representation in the national council is increased from two to three members. The additional councillor will be chosen at this meeting.
 Members in this section has shown marked increases during the last three years with the General Electric Company at Pittsfield and the Fiberloid Division of the Mon- santo Chemical Company contrib uting largely to the increased mem- bership.
