rows of Sank Lake. For more
than 20 years he's watched the fish
ing public change with the pulse
of the times. And all that time
on the shores Of this one lake. 4.
It was 1913 when Mr.. Lemb-
Ike first took q shot at boat
liverying. He bought the liv-
cry from Cap Orvarr who had
boats at the Park. In those
days they were the only COM
mercial boats for hire on the
lake. There was q motor
launch with which he towed
fishing parties up into the big
lake, when the roads weren't
what they are now. With
the coming of roads for good
travel up the lake and the
more extensive use of aUt0mo-
biles the motor launch disap-
peared from the scene. -. But
not Mr.. Lembke.
A lot Of other changes came with
the auto. Mr.. Lembke moved his
boats for hire to what is known
now as the old tourist park on
second point. There until twelve
years ago he sold his bats, rent
ed his boats. More reSorterS
came with highways up the shores
of the lake. Both the lower and
upper now are splotched with bev-
les of boats. It's estimated the
lake now sports some IS or more
commercial boats for hire.
The public That goes fishing
has changed somewhat in the
twenty years, he feels. He
has this to say about that pub
lie now. ;. They're more spOr-
ty. In the early days when it
looked like running out of fish
would never be problem, peO-
pie treated 1t that way. 1t
wasn't a sport then, it was an
avOcatiOn. If they came
away without the limit, It just
wasn't good fishing, he said. %.
Today people realize a little
more (nero are SILL the f1Sn
hogs thOugh) that fishing un-
der the earlier pace couldn't
continue. .. Fishing has
marched into the ranks of q
real sport. >.
Mr.. Lembke is one Of a dozen
resort and boatmen along the
shores of Sank who are now ready
ing their boats for the season!

Records Smashed
As Local Track
Team Wins 3rd

Stan Nelson, lanky local track
man, smashed two records and
others fell by the wayside Tuesday
as Sank Centres 14-man track
team placed Bird in 6-school sess-
ion at Montevideo, in the West
Central Conference meet. They
were topped by Montevideo, with a
wide margin, and Willmar, in a
strong second spot.
1t was tuneup performance for
the local team as they moved to-
ward Saturdays district % event
at Alexandria. Prospects looked
fairly pleasing to Coach Ray Sch
wartz as he stacked his competit-
ion and announced: There will
probably be some shifts made in
the lineup for better balance"
Nelson. cracking two Confer
ence records, moved to become
the standout performer of the
day at Monte. His 1872 second
time in the 12O high hurdles
and his al in the low hurdles
shaved approximately S sec
onds from old records. He bait
ed out two firsts for the locals.
One Of the outstanding interest
events Of the day was Jim Cooper's
performance in the high jump.
When the smoke had cleared Coop
err and Nelson were tangled in a
five-way tie at g. $50. For a man Of
Cooper's stature it was an extra
ordinary jump, for with the bar
at eye level it represents some hus-
ky climbing on thin air. Cooper
took the first in the jump on a
draw. Others in the tie were Sch
endel, Appleton; Evans, Willmar;
Himley, Montevideo.
Bud Veeder, discuss and shot
tosser. wound up for the only local
second place. jain, of Montevideo,
who tossed the discus 104.2 feet,
was only a foot over sophomore
Veeder's expert toss. Arneson and
Veeder placed fifth in the trial
heats for the 100 yeard dash, but
failed to qualify.
Bob Rattle took a fifth place in
the 300 and and Carl Hildebrand
got 4th in the 440. Relay team OF
Cooper, Arneson, Hildebrand and
Nelson finished third in a record
breaking match. Kuefler took 7th
in the half-mile jog. Willmar's re-
lay troupe with time of 1895 par
ed the old record. Harding, Monte
video, in the half mile, topped his
own record in a time of 2:12.3.
Swenson, Appleton, set new re-
cord in the shot put with 38 feet

200 Girls Play on
GAA May Day

One of the earliest attempts in
the state to stimulate under COM
petition inter-school programs in
girls physical education came
about Saturday when nearly 200
girls of six communities were
guests of the Sank Centre high
school Girls Athletic Association.
A day long list of activities
that found girls from Melrose,
Paynesville, BroOten, Belgrade,
HOldingford, and Sank Centre
competing eagerly in sir differ
ent group comprised of repre-
sentatives from each town Op-
ening with a grand march In
the new gymnasium in the
morning.
The grand march was colorful
with the girls in their play toys,
Miss June Ellis, local physical ed
ucation director said, and instruct
ors and girls alike went away so
enthused there is a strong poss-
Utility that such play days Of inter-
school groups will become annual"
From ten until noon both gyms
were busy with competitive group
activities that included basket
shooting, volley ball, group shut
file board. and the bean bag toss.
Groups rotated into the activities,
received awards presented in the
afternoon. Lunch divided the day.
Optional recreation activities gave
the girls choice of badminton, deck
tennis, ping pong, archery and Soc
ial dancing. Archery was one of the
most popular single sports, it was
found.
After lunch a group Of some for
ty girls in physical education class
es from the Home School demon
strated a rope skipping and tumb-
ling activity. They saluted the
GAA with the skipping demonstra-
ton.
Instructors largely were favor
able toward the plan. Fellows get
contacts in athletics that girls
don't get" Miss Ellis pointed out.
these playdays offer them compe-
tition and contacts with girls in
other schools that hasn't been Of
fered up to now"
For long time I have felt that
girls physical educational pro-
grams needed a stimulus" Harold
K. Jock wrote when plans for the
meeting were forwarded him.

schools of each county will band

The index of such payments-using
1929 figures as 100-increased three
tenths of point to 81 from April to

partment reported that employment in
nearly every region of the United
States increased between April and
May in non-agricultural establish
ments. There was net gain of 250,-

Stute Minimum Pow
Act Is Beneficial
10000 Additional Women
Benefited Last Year
BY Pay Act

Washington, D. c. (ILNS).-The
most significant progress in state
minimum wage Legislation for women
last year was the 20 new orders issued
under old laws, setting minimum
rates in certain industries, a new De-
partment of Labor publication notes.
Only two new laws were passed, the
publication reports. 1t cites extension
of the Connecticut law to men as an
arresting state minimum wage de-
vclopment of 1889.
10000 More Women Benefited
Miss Mary Anderson, director Of
the Labor Department. Women's
Bureau, issued the publication. Miss
Florence Smith, of the bureaus staff
was responsible for the compilation
and analysis Of the data.
GAS a result Of the 20 new orders
issued in 1899, the benefits of state
minimum-wage legislation have been
extended to an additional 10000
women," Miss Anderson pointed out
'It is significant that almost two
thirds of these recent wage orders ap-
ply to service or intra-state industries
not covered by the Federal Fair La
Dor Standards Act.
"The two new laws passed in 1888
are the one for Maine limited to the
fish packing industry and the general
law enacted for women workers ir
Alaska.
Four Million Covered
"Altogether about four million wo.
men are covered by the minimum.
wage laws now existing in 26 states
the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico
and Alaska.
However, as long as any consid
cradle number of women, and mer
too, for that matter, are at work

Defense "Bottleneck" In
Wdge-Hour Division Denied

Washington, d. C. GLNS).-Dis-
avowing any national defense bottle
neck" in the Wage and Hour Division
Of the Department Of Labor, Colonel
Phillip B. Fleming, administrator Of
the act said that all apprentice Ger.
tiAcate applications before the division
has been approved. There were 81
such applications for exemptions to
permit apprentice training.
Colonel Fleming's statement refut-
ing earlier claims of a jam in his di-
vision said in part:
'In most apprenticeable trades the
starting rate for apprentices is higher
than the 30 cent minimum in the Wage
and Hour law. 1t is clear that the
Wage and Hour law offers no con-
struction on this point. l hope that
there will be an end to the misunder-
standing on this matter because state
ments made without relation to the
facts can only cause confusion and
muddled thinking about this whole
subject.
NEEDLESS to say, the Wage and
Hour Division stands ready and will
ing to give prompt service on all ap-
plications for apprentice certificates
presented in accordance with the re-
quirements that have been laid down.
These are only necessary when en-
ployers seek to employ apprentices at
less than 80 cents an hour-a situation
that will be seldom found in those
skills being called upon at the social
ed 'bottlenecks'."
