Farm Movie Had
Large Attendance
New Technique Permitted
Movie To Be Reproduced In
Sound Thru Television Receiver

It can never be said that the
farm folks in our surrounding vic
Unity do not appreciate and uphold
a good movie production. This was
forcibly proven by the large at
tendance at the showing Of the
free movie, THE Headliners,"
shown Saturday, January goth, by
the Farmers Cooperative Elevator
Co., in the Community Club rooms
This picture was produced by
Minneapolis-Moline and shows tele-
vision as it will be used in the
future and NM tractors as modern
of tomorrow, said c. r.
Enright, manager, of the local firm.
A new technique in motion pic
ture production was used in this
film. A natural color movie was
diminished in size to fit into the
screen Of television receiver, thus
making an all-sound and all-nat-
ural color movie reproduced upon
a television receiver set. The pic
ture itself carried a good story, and
IL was interesting and worthwhile
to all who attended.

FINE ACHIEVEMENT
Born In Sank Centre
Left City Several Years
Ago With Parents

Courageous effort was rewarded
in full last week when a former
Sank Centre boy achieved his goal
after years of hard and industrious
labor. This young man, Urban
Kampsen, 25-year-old son of Mr..
and Mrs. H. A. Kampsen, 396 Low
ell Street, Pontiac, Michigan, as
sumed his duties as a pilot with
the Transcontinental & Western
Airlines in Kansas City, Mo-, said
the Pontiac Daily Press Of Janu-
airy 18th. He is believed to be the
first Pontiac flier to achieve this
position with a major airline.
Kampsen, who has been a Pom
tiac Motor Division tool maker for
10 years, achieved his goal through
the formula of years of hard work
and a will to succeed that sur
passed all obstacles.
Born at Sank Centre, Mimi, the
eldest of nine children, "Urbie," as
his friends call him, left school af-
ter finishing the eighth grade. He
has many friends who reside in
Sank Centre and vicinity who will
be glad to learn of his extraordin-
airy achievement. Shortly after
ward the family moved to Pontiac
and the future pilot went to work
at the local automobile plant at the
age of Is, as an apprentice.

At the Padua Hall on the eve
ming Of January 18th, at $3.50 p. M,
was held the annual meeting of the
Padua Community Credit Union.
This meeting was well attended and
an inteesting report showed that a
thriving business had been conduct
ed during the past year. This or
ganization, a cooperative loan and

February 5, 1889.
Officers reelected for the ensuing
year are: Albert Bisaillon, presi-
dent; Mathew B. Macfarlane. vice
president; Ferdinand J. Wiener,

urer by the directors. Others elect
ed were: supervisory committee,

Edmund J. Rooney and Gust Lev
orson; credit committee, Joseph
Kleinschmidt, chairman, and Earl
Killeen and A. e. Rodgers.
Frank Shilston, of Minneapolis,
addressed the members following
the business meeting. He laid stress
upon the character building quail
tiles of the organization, and stated
that it infuses among it's members
the virtues Of thrift and at the
same time they learn to govern
themselves in democratic way. In
cooperating with each other in fin
ancial problems, there is instilled
a spirit of self-help and intelligent
cooperation which opens the way
to the solution of many of the Soc
ial and economic ills of today. He
further pointed out that in Novia
Scotia the Antagonist movement
began in that very way by neigh
bors, who got together in neighbor-
hood discussion groups to find solu-
tons for their mutual problems.
