An unusual accident occurred
early Friday morning when large

ter the property Of J N. Jackson,
jeweler Of this city.
Parked at the corner Of Oak and
Third Street, and headed north,
the air brakes on the truck re-
leased. A twenty degree slope on

and it continued on it's journey
down Oak Street, until it collided
with the house at the other end

War I days for the first time in
twenty years early this week at

23rd annual national American

Of a century ago. Just before he
left from this city Saturday, he
said, it was the first time he had
attended one in twenty years.
Mr.. Jeffries left here to join sew

roommates.
For nine years Donald (Buzz)
Deziel, son Of Mr.. and Mrs. s. N.

son Of George Conkey, Jr, have
been nigh inseparable. Now, after
watching together an adolescent
world and secondary school careers
slip by, they are ready to attack

of togetherness.

thing together like the time
when Buzz at eighteen was lie
ensed as q barber-and George
was, Of course, the subject on
whom he showed his skill to
the board Of examiners.
Their school careers have been
almost startling parallels. They
were graduated together from the
high school. Then came two years
in the Sauk Centre Junior Exten-
sion College, paving the way for
their University entry. 1t was with
the Buccaneers the two played to-
gether in basketball on probably
the most resoundingly capable
scoring team this town has put in
the field.
But the parallel has to end at
some point. At the University Jud
has plans to go into chemistry;
and Buzz wants forestry for his
vocation.
Friday George will leave for Min
neapolis where he will be employed
in Bryan's tea room near the cam
pus. Sunday Mr.. and Mrs. Deziel
will accompany their son to the
University. Buzz has designs on
getting into the Union as barber.
You can bet that while their car
eers may part after-or even dur
ing-their University studies, that
won't. We've never had
q quarrel that I can remember"
George said this week.
