|WPA Men Must Register
For New City Projects
Threatened Layoh Averted
BY Action Of City Council
Tuesday Night

On Tuesday night the members
Of the City Council met in special
session with representatives of the
Workers Alliance, who report a
cordial reception.
This meeting concerned the pos
sible layoff Of men from the WPA
pay rolls within the next thirty
days. With no new projects start
ed it would be necessary to trans
fer these men to other commun-
tiles. To maintain them on the
Federal pay roll in this city it be-
comes necessary to start new pro-
jects at once.
Termination Of all present pro-
jects, it is estimated, would affect
sixty families, all receiving an esti-
mated monthly salary Of $50 each
or a combined income of $36, 1000
which would be spent in Sank Cen
ire. r. be
New projects considered by the
City Council will absorb all of the
city's WPA workers, thus saving
the Federal pay roll for Sank Cen
tire, instead of transferring it to
other parts Of the county.
It is necessary for those now
about to be laid of to register with
the Grievance committee of the
Workers Alliance, or with the chair.
man or secretary, so that they may
be recommended for work on these
new projects. Failure to make
their wants known may cause de.
lay in getting on the pay roll

WILL BUILD
TENNIS COURTS
New Welfare Council
Organization of Women,
Selected Site Recently

Earliest tangible results of the
newly organized Sank Centre We'll
fare Council, a combined group
made up of representatives from
the city's women's organizations, is
the announcement that a down.
town tennis court will be reality
this summer, it was learned after
the group had held its first regular
meeting last Friday evening.
Eighteen members, turning out
for this initial session, voted the
adoption Of a constitution for the
organization, set meeting dates BIZ
monthly for the second Wednesday
in the month.
Through the initiatory efforts of
this group definite arrangements
for a tennis court had been made
this week. Location site Is to be
on the Cities Service property at
the corner Of 5th and Main Streets.
Speed with which the group work.
ed on this plan is evidenced in the
fact that only several weeks ago
was its organization meeting.
Among important projects the
women pledged support for includ-
ed Sank Centre Girl Scouting, en-
ployment agency for the youth OF
the community, aid to welfare
workers in the community, and as
sistance for the girls part Of the
summer recreational program.
Since Girl Scouting here needs

summer camp erected last summer
on Sank Lake, the Council voted
to act in aiding such a program.

pie of the community without work
will find a ready ear in this organi-
zation, according to the adoption
of a plan. Under a division known
as the Sank Centre Employment

BUILT AND DESIGNED
NEW PIPE ORGAN
j. j. Cotton, of This City,
Installed Splendid Musical
Device In Thief River Falls

A new pipe organ, designed and
built by ]. J. Cotton, Of Sank Gen.
tire, was dedicated for use in st.
Bernard Catholic Church, Thief
River Falls, on Easter Sunday.
The organ, said the Thief River
Falls Times is the gift of a donor
who has asked that the name be
kept anonymous. Mr.. Cotton re-
turned to this city Tuesday after
Easter.
The Times continued, that the
organ placed in sound-proof cham
bers on the sides Of the rear bal
cony, with the two-manual console
in the center, is Of latest type. It
was designed, built and installed
by J. J. Cotton, of Sank Centre,
formerly connected for a long per-
iod Of years with pipe organ fac
tory in Warsaw, New York.
Included in the intricate con-
struction are nearly 300 pipes and
approximately 5000 electrical con-
nections, all contacts being Of ster-
ling silver. This organ in opera
ton was found highly satisfactory,
Of fine tone quality, and more than
sufficient volume.
Mr.. Cotton is an expert organ
builder and designer, and although
he has erected many organs in this
northern country in recent years,
this is the first complete job of
designing, building and erecting
that he has done for some time.

into the sea. "It was just like mus
ic," she said.
In 1886 were you on certain
boat on the Atlantic, you would
have found a Young Norwegian
aged Is, embarking alone for the
| United States. He is G. Hiuerud,
who with nine crown (about $2.25)
left the home land to come here.
Here's what I had left when !
reached Devils Lake." he said.
And with that he pulled out Of a
pocket book a one cent Canadian
piece that he'd carried ever since.
II had just been confirmed.
When a boy is confirmed over
there, he's on his own. It's the
custom to go into apprenticeship.
1 was to be a shoemaker. Instead
wrote to my uncle and asked
him if he would supply a ticket for
me to come to the United States.
would pay him back"
So with the nine crowns, his
own blankets (Which were stolen
from him in this country and a
ticket for a crossing, Mr.. Hillerud
left for this nation.
It was the custom for boys to go
to school halfdays and work for
half. He worked with goldsmith
while he went to school. Every
family of any note had a boy to
run errands There was no delivery
service, so the boys were hired. I
used to work fer a man who went
hunting. He'd go ahead on the
lookout for game. I followed be-
hind carrying the gum"
Such loyalty over there, he point
ed out, is enforced. You dc it be-
cause you have to. Here we have
freedom that enforced loyalty can
never bring he believes.
When he arrived here on the
prairie of North Dakota, his uncle
set him to work breaking sod with
three oxen. I'D never seen enc be-
fore. I was lonesome. For days at
a time you'd never see anyone ex-
cept an Indian or two way off on
the prairie" OF course, on Sundays
when everyone went to Church
there was contact with people.
Once he returned to his native
land. In 1913, when his parents
celebrated their golden wedding
anniversary, he and his nine
brothers and sisters all were home
There were seven in this country,
yet every one of them were able
to get home.
II noticed then that in that city
of $4,000 there was only one pri-
vate car" he said. He pointed tc
this lack Of travel that has made
Europe provincial and has kept
alive the possibility of so many
states in so small an area. Eat one
time in Norway, where there isn't
as much fertile soil as in Stearns
County, there were twelve kings"
Those are experiences that
stick in your CROP" he concluded
as he blew out a new puff of
smoke from his pipe.

voted and resolved to have all slot
machines removed from the coun-
ty of Stearns and that they remain
out so long as they are held by

A third resolution passed by the

of Minnesota to take immediate
steps to have similar action on slot
machines and gambling devices
taken in all other counties of the

state cooperate with county and
local officials toward this end"
The resolutions were signed by
Mike Schmiesing, of Grove town
ship, as foreman of the grand jury
and Clayton B. Greeley, of Maine
Prairie township, clerk of the grand

hour for liquor sales be enforced
The ganrd jury also recommended
that the hating of sale of liquor
