MONTGOMERY
Nl SIDELICHTS
(By E. W. H.

We are so pleased at the num-
Der of subscriptions we have re-
ceived that are going out as
Christmas presents. Fifty-two re-
minders of the thoughtfulness of
the sender for only one dollar!
We have received one from Mr..
William G. Brewer, who will be 80
years old in January - just five
years older than the SENTINEL,
which was established in 1855. He
also wrote an interesting letter,
which he is permitting US to use
in part.
After speaking of an old log
mansion on the Joseph Pyles farm,
and of an old tobacco house that
had been there "a years to his
recollection, Mr.. Brewer writes:
SAT that time there were four
tobacco houses that stood along the
roadside within a radius of mile
of Beallsville, there were general
" three on every farm of any note.
"I often love to recall the condi-
tions as they existed in those days.
IN 1843 they established the Pooles-
vile Agricultural Society that con-
tinued nm to the Civil War.
>"There was a committee of three
to visit the farms of the members
every four months, and make a
report of the growing crops, the
amount of stock kept, their condi-
ton, the fencing, buildings, gard
ems, dairy and things in general.
"My grandfather, DR.. William
Brewer, was their chemist. He
made the first discovery of lime
found in the County, and that was
found in digging a well on the
farm recently owned by the late
Robert Oxley in strata of rock
across from Virginia. can also
recall the first use of Peruvian
guano, brough in it's crude state.
my public school education was
in log houses and the changes have
been SO great, I can hardly realize
living in the same world"
Mr.. Brewer has invited US to
come to see him and he will tell
Us many more things he recalls of
those days. He now lives with his
daughter, Mrs. Shreve. The old DIR.
Brewer home is now the property
of Mr.. Shober of Washington.

Housing Body Proposes
Sites For FiUe Projects
Z. Brooke Lee, Chairman, Announces Options
Are Offered For Possible Sites in Gaithersburg,
Falkland, POolesville, Emory Grove Norbeck

Through E. Brooke Lee, chair
man, the Montgomery County
Housing Authority, realizing that
the selection of the site for the
proposed low rental homes for
workers in the agricultural Sec
tons of Montgomery County is
of the utmost Importance both to
the families who will live in the
houses to be built as we'll as to
other residents of the communi-
ties in question, announces for
the consideration of the people of
Montgomery county that the fol-
lowing described options are
offered for possible sites for
groups of the low rental homes.
The Housing Authority is consid-
ering each of these sites for the
reasons stated in connection with
the particular site and at the
same time announces that it will
consider for purchase any other
equally available site in the same
general location at an equivalent
or lower price.
Each of the sites now under
consideration is located within
convenient walking distance of a
county school, and in this con-
nection it should be remembered
that a considerable number of
children will walk from each
group of these homes to the
schools and back each day in all
weather and consequently the dis
lance and road conditions to the
schools are most important factors
of site availability. None of the
locations under consideration front
existing mali hishwaxs except
Emory Grove, or e located
adjacent to the MAJ entrances
Of the towns in question. Ali of
the locations under consideration,
except Emory Grove, are convent
emily located to but not promi-
neptly placed in connection with
the existing business districts Of
the locality in question. The site
under consideration near, Norbeck
faces the secondary Norbeck Nor
wood Corner State road beginning
about 1000 feet east Of the Brook
vile Pike.
Each group of homes will be
located at least several hundred
feet from the next adjacent pub
lie road or the nearest adjacent
property and the intervening
space will be used for gardens
and entrance planting from the
public road to the group of homes
in question. Each group win con-
sist of from twenty-five to fifty
homes, each to be occupied by
one family.
The architect for the project
has approved each of the sites
under consideration as desirable
from the standpoint Of the gen.
eral plan of the proposed group
Of houses. Each site under con-
sideration meets the engineering
requirements Of economic devel-
opment and improvement Elec-
tricity is available at each loca-
ton and at Gaithersburg public
water syetem is available. Before

with a ringer from the side, Lang
counted a free shot, Stensvad and

and Duea rang up two gift tries
for nine points before the Brown
men tailed. Diekmeier got an
other brace of free shots and Duea
a single in the last minute bout
for points.
Thomas topped the Bear scor-

LAMBS, MORGAN
UPSET new ULM
and SLEEPY EYE
STATE CHAMPS TAKE
BAD BEATING FROM
COMFREY QUINT

Two smaller towns of the area
registered their intentions of be-
ing in the 1910 district ten scrap
Friday night as Lamberton dump
ed Ray Bassett's New Ulm High
five 81 to % and Sleepy Eye found
Morgan too tough by a "a to 20
margin. What left the bigger
schools almost devoid of alibis
was that both games were played
on their home floors.
Lamberton led most of the way,
6 to 3 at the quarter and IL to z
at the half. Then the Eagles tied
the count at IA and it was knotted
again at 81 before the Lambs,
with Giersdorf getting two and
Marben one field goal, sailed the
contest.
The Lambs were making shots
count with midseason form and
were tight on defense, forcing the
New Ulm team to long shots Of
which they sank several.
Morgan'S victory was the Sec
ond over Sleepy Eye team in a
week. st. Mary's first team fell
"a to % and the second team "a
to IL December l.
Sleepy Eye High held the lead
at the half IA to 8 but, spanked
by Whipperman whose five field
goals and one free shot gave him
II points, outplayed the Indians
in the second period to earn the
triumph.
1t was bad night for the
mighty. Mountain Lake with
most of the state championship
squad back, went over the noun
tain to Comfrey and took a "a to
IL lacing. White Bear fell to Red
wood which was somewhat less
surprise, while Fairmont fell to
Jackson q to 25.
- More true to predictions, Tracy
made easy work of Balaton 80 to
IL. Marshall also opened with a
win, over Tyler 80 to IL.
Fairfax took Gibbon in two
close games, 10 to II and Is to
ii in a district ten engagement
while over in the twelfth the Les
ter Prairie team which narrowly
missed representing that area in
the regional last year came
through with a q to Is win over
Silver Lake.

BROWNMEN DROP
27-21 CONTEST

Although they were behind only
once during the contest, the Card
inals found their new opponent,
the White Bear Lake club, a
worthy one Friday night and it
was not until the final minutes
that they pulled away to a q to
Fl victory.
Ellis Lang who led Redwood
scoring with ten points kept the
home team in the running through
the first quarter, scoring twice
from under the basket and a free
shot.
That period ended 6-3 for Red
wood and the margin was little
changed in the second stanZa,
ending 9 to 5. Duea got a basket
that period and Diekmeier con-
tributed the second of his four
free shots.
The Bears had bad time find
ing the hoop in the first quarter
but sharpened their sights in the
third and steadily cut away the
margin until they were ahead Is
to Is seconds before the period
ended. Lang and Duea had count
ed two points each at that point
and another bucket by Lang tied
the count at Is at the. period.
Stensvad broke the deadlock

,NICOLLET Wins
DISPUTE
OLD AGE APPLICANT
MUST GO TO BLUE
EARTH FOR HELP

st. Peter-Nicollet county last
week won a dispute from Blue
Earth county over the legal status
of Allen Gloeckler whose resi-
dence in the Minnesota river bot
toms between CORTLAND and
Cambria brought about a legal
battle between welfare officials of
the two counties.
Referee L. j. Metcalf, of the
state division of social security,
handed down an opinion ordering
Blue Earth county to pay Clock
Ter old age assistance and reliev-
ing Nicollet county of any finan-
cial responsibility in the case.
It was pointed out by the re-
fierce that Gloeckler had lived in
Blue Earth county from 1914 UNI
tiln1935 when he moved to the
river bottom and that the land on
which Gloeckler lived originally
had been in Nicollet county and
had reverted to Blue Earth coun-
ty on account of the change in the
channel of the Minnesota river
which is the dividing line.
The case first arose two years
ago when Blue Earth county Of
fieials discovered that the propeN
ty on which Gloeckler was living
in the Minnesota river bottoms
was being taxed in Nicollet coun-
ty. When Gloeckler appeared t.
the Nicollet county welfare board
for aid after being denied assist
ance in Blue Earth county, the
Nicollet county officials refused
his application. That brought on
the hearing.

holiday campaign which so far
has resulted in three victories, the
latest % to 10 decision over
Sleepy Eye.
At Lamberron, Redwood will
face capable quint which has
won from New Ulm and lost to

line on Redwood's strength as
compared with teams along high
way IA. The Lambs have rangy
center and fast and clever team,
according to reports. Both the
first and second teams will make
the trip, to play on Lamberton's
new gym floor.
Twenty-eight personal fouls
were called on the rough fracas
with the Indians who finished the
game with three players benched
with four attractions.
Except for a moment in the
second half when Sleepy Eye
nosed ahead, the Cardinals
held the upper hand. Only two
field goals were scored by each
team in the first half, Lang and
Stensvad getting the Redwood
pair.
Redwood was ahead to at
the quarter, IL to at the half
and 20 to IA as the final stanza
began. Redwood's second team
played part of the fourth quarter,

vantage. OF the regulars, Duea,
