Letters Home Show
They Have Good Camp
Fine Entertainment

Sank Centres soldier boys at
Camp HAN, California, are taking
army life in full stride, despite the
rainy weather and mud they have
experienced, according to a recent
letter from Jim Rattle, former Her
aid employee. When the boys ar
rived at Camp Haan a week ago
Monday, they were welcomed by
a heavy downpour and they found
mud up to their shoe tops.
They have very fine camp, &C
cording to Jim's letter, and when
IL stops raining In California, he
believes everything will be dandy.
The boys had a good time on the
train enroute to camp, and all were
impressed by the wonderful seem
cry Of Uncle Sans domain in the
Rockies. Art Rosenwald, Dewey
Brown, Russell Nelson and Jim, ac-
cording to the letter, formed a
quartet Of the barbershop variety,
and they had a good time singing
while on the way westward. They
will, they say. get together In camp
and try to do some harmonizing,
which Is always good fun when
fellows congregate.
Camp buildings are close -togeth-
er, and they are wonderful build
ings, including a large mess hall,
canteen and recreational center,
said Jim.
Another letter from a Sank Cen
tire lady at Riverside, Calf, which
gives q very good idea Of how the
boys arrived and are now faring,
came from Mrs. Roy Scott to Mrs.
Ed l. Rattle. She wrote as fol-
lows:

Sank Centre
Won First In
Won Over Burtrum
BY Score of 48 to z
Tuesday Night

Sank Centres cagers had surviv-
ed an easy first round of the sub
district at Melrose Tuesday eve
ming, one Of four such events to
pick eight district winners, and
moved one notch closer to district
entry by blowing Burtrum under
to the tune Of 48 to z.
First night matches went exact
ly as the dope indicated. Upsala
downed Grey Eagle 40 to 16 and
looked powerfully good doing 1t.
The victory for Upsala wrote them
a ticket for district entry, while
last night they sat and watched
Sank Centre and Melrose battle
for a place in the district sun.
Starting Arneson, Reinardy, Col
ton, Rosedahl and Proell, Coach
Ray Schwartz saw his club dawdle
through a first quarter to lead
Burtrum only to 4. But by half
time the lead had gone to a Is
to spot. It was the third quar-
ter that began tucking the ball
game to bed for good. With Burt
rum held to a single point, Sank
Centre moved out.
Tournament squad includes be-
sides the five mentioned, Jim
Cooper, Paul Keldahl, George Row
land, Robert Hansmann and Don
Mooney. Every man played in the
game against Burtrum and every
one Of them scored.
From other sub-districts in dis
trict % only a first round at Swan
vile has been heard from. Eagle
Bend defeated Browerville 80 to Is,
in an elimination game. Other sub
districts are at Osakis and Park
ers Prairie with games scheduled
to be out Of the way by the end of
week. The district opens at Glen
wood for q fortnight run next

PRESENT PETITIONS
Almost 500 People
OF Five Townships
And City Sign

Armed with petitions bearing al
most 500 names, a large group OF
men of this community called on
the County Commissioners Tuesday
afternoon to discuss the matter of
snow removal and to ask for the
reinstatement Of Adolph Ebenstein-
er, local owner Of a snow pillow and
road patrol, who has been employ
ed by the county for several years
past.
Township officials and others
from Sank Centre, Ashley, Ray
mond, Getty and Grove, were In
attendance, as was also group Of
eleven men from the city Of Sank
Centre. The petitions and visit to
the county seat by this group were
occasioned because Of the fact that
Adolph Ebensteiner, who has done
excellent snow plow work in this
community, was not rehired when
that work was let out to bid; be-
cause county garage Is to be
erected at Melrose; and because the
people feel that would set this
community back in the matter Of
open roads next winter.
Farmers and city folk alike be-
lieve that this community must
have at least two snow plows work.
Ing out Of this city, and they feel
that the present arrangement in
dicates a return to snow plow work
Of the past. When the board en-
gagged Adolph Ebensteiner and his
pillow about five years ago, and
then also stationed a county pillow
in this city, noted Improvement
in snow removal was the result.
For that reason the people Of this
community do not wish to see a
radical change made, although they
desire Improvement.
The petitions presented to the
Board Of Commissioners ask that
Mr.. Ebensteiner and his equipment
be maintained in county employ
ment and that a large truck or
caterpillar be stationed in this
community for snow removal; both
to work out Of this city on the
roads Of the surrounding commun-
tiles. The County Commissioners
promised to take the matter under
advisement.
Representing the Community
Club at this meeting was Supt.
e. w. Olson, who called on the
various township representatives
for expression in the matter. Mr..
Olson introduced the subject and
presented the wishes of these COM
munities, and the reports are that
he made a favorable impression.
Other speakers from this city were
Mayor s G.. Schwarzbauer and D.
B. Caughren, who added consider
able to the discussion.
