mainder Of the road.
The petition listed three reasons
for the proposal. It pointed to
the little cost to the city for the
portion Of the road already sur
faced. It called to attention the
wide use Of the road as a pleasure
drive, and to the fact that now
more than ever it Is a year around
thoroughfare for residents along
the east shore of the lake.
"At least Is families" the peti-
ton said, now live on the west
lake shore drive, about IA Of them
the year around. These represent
several thousands Of dollars in in
vestment and in return to the city
in taxes, light and power revenues,
and purchasing power"
With the exception of streets
over which highways pass, more
cars travel the lake shore drive
than any other street of the city"
the petition stated. It pointed to
he wide use by residents, who drive
guests to see the scenic drive.
Visitors" It was pointed out In
the argument" would have a much
more agreeable impression Of Sank
Centre were they able to drive this
road in comfort"

Committee Members
Will Canvass City
For Worthy Causes

Boy and Girl Scout leaders and
members Of the U.S.O. committee,
Of this city, plan to stage the an
nual drive for funds next week,
it was announced Wednesday
morning by d. B. Caughren, chair
man Of the U.S.O. and Boy Scout

work of Scouting and to aid
the United Service Organiza-
ton In raising funds for en-
tertainment and the erection
of chapels, and buildings for
entertainment for the boys I'm
service Of our Uncle Sam.
Scout funds will be used for exc
cutive service, training courses,

further develop Scouting in this
community.
All cities and villages Of Central
Minnesota are raising funds dur
ing this week for the development
Of Scouting. The U.S.O. drive has
been added locally, because this
city has donated no funds to the
U.S.O. Thirty-six towns engaged in
Scouting activities all share in the
financial responsibility Of the
Council.
At the present time more than
1900 boys are enrolled in the Scout
ing and Clubbing program in this
territory. Over one million boys
are active members in the United
States. Scouting is a world wide
brotherhood Of boys which has Tor
its objective the building Of char
acter, and the training for citizen
ship. Committee members will
canvass the city next week.

1856 Federal
Duck Stamps
Sold Locally

Sales of Federal duck stamps
had reached a peak Of 336 and
all available supplies Of the
stamps had been exhausted, the
post office in Sank Centre an
nounced Wednesday as the
duck season opened to an early
morning chorus of shooting at
sunrise on a day termed too
nice for real hunting weather.
Sales had been made to 1928
hunters by 600 Tuesday night
and the rest of the stamps were
gobbled up Wednesday morn
ing. It was pointed out that
nearly all the sales had been
made to local hunters.
While the weather was wrong
for good flight, parties were
reporting good shooting in
many instances. This week
Sank Centre was an armed
camp. Hundreds Of acres had
been posted against hunting;
hundreds of others had been
leased for hunting rights. Yet
with all this scramble for good
spots one farmer was adver-
Using a good slough for rent.
Another had posted his because
his tame ducks were becoming
too familiar with the wild
specie in the potholes on the
farm.

Two Meetings To Be
Held Today of Vital
Interest To Business
LOCAL MEN ATTEND
May Change Operation
OF Plants Under
Whole Milk Plan

Representatives Of the Sank Lake
Cooperative Creamery will attend
two meetings today, Thursday,
which may vitality change opera
ton Of all creameries in Mime
Sofa The first Of these meetings,
which are for the purpose Of dis
GUESSING the need Of dairy products
In the defense program, will be
held this afternoon at 1870 o'clock
In the st. Cloud Hotel, st. Cloud.
The second win be held tonight In
the school auditorium in Long
Prairie.
Topic for discussion will be the
purchase Of whole milk instead of
butterfat, and the manufacture Of
cheese or powdered skim milk as
requested by the government. I'm
der this program the suggested
minimum price for whole milk has
been announced as 60c, and accord
ing to the letter received at the
local creamery It may be compul-
sorry.
The meeting at Long Prairie has
been called by the Todd County
Creamery Boards association, of
which Fl. J. Cans, Of West Union,
is president. He win preside at
the meeting.
This program Is being encourag-
ed by the government in it's food
for defense movement, under which
cheese and dried or powdered skim
milk are vitality needed. Creamer-
les would purchase the whole milk
and be prepared to make cheese
or dried skim milk, as the case
may be.
The government is ready to
make loans up to 1000 in this
program, however, because It il
not readily understood the meet
ings have been called. Butter,
some Of the best in the world, is
manufactured in this community,
and although dairymen wish to
conform to the defense program
in every way, they wish to main
tain their butter markets. Thus
local creamery men hope that some
plan may be worked out whereby
they can devote a part Of the local
product to some other source and
still maintain their buttermaking

Ask Earlier
Opening Of
Sank Lake
Members of Community
Club Oppose Earlier
Opening On Bass

Earlier opening Of Sank Lake
to conform to the southern zone
law was the main topic Dor dis
cussion at the opening fan meet
ing Of the Community Club last
week Thursday evening. This
meeting was largely attended and
was held in an informal manner.
Members Of the club refrained
from placing the club on record
in the matter Of earlier Sank Lake
opening on pan fish, but the ma
jority expressed their opinion as
against the proposal. The main
objection was found to be against
an earlier season on bass, with
favorable comment for earlier fish
ing for crappies and sunfish.
This proposal was brought be-
fore the conservation committee
and placed before the club, as a
possibility on lakes situated not
over thirteen miles from the divi-
sion line Of the southern zone.
This line extends along highway
% on the southern outskirts Of our
city. The conservation committee
was instructed to correspond with
the State Conservation Department
to ascertain If It is possible to open
the season on crappies and sunfish
at the same time the southern zone
opens, and to keep bass on the
closed list. The southern zone OPP

zone June Goth. 81
A vote of confidence was given
to the hospital committee in its eff
forts to secure information regard
ing the conduct Of hospitals in
nearby cities, and the committee
was instructed to continue its work
until completed.
A suggestion was offered to the
club to continue its efforts to Sc
cure blacktopping for the remain
der Of the road around the golf
course. The president was instruct
ed to appoint committee to meet
with the City Council to find out

Sank Centre
Dropped
Second Game
Morris Won Easily
BY ScS'e so to 0
Fr1 Night

A revived Morris, not even faint
ly associated with the team that
Sank Centre beat by two touch
downs a year ago, blasted its way
to the top Of the West Central
Conference heap, further CREASED
the skids on Sank Centres decline,
and in a fast running attack that
scored in the last half four times
won ball game here Friday 80
to 0.
With a line over anxious, and
holding for a serious list of penal
ties, Morris massed behind it's
twinkle-legged Wagner, Magyar and
Nelson, the running trio of the
backs, and scored finally midway
in the second quarter to lead at
the half Z to 0.
Sank Centres inability to
cope with dangerous situations
with the pressure on, and lack
of really good defensive punt
ing lead to q second half rout
that made Of the fourth quar-
ter a farce, and was probably
one Of the worst drubbings q
local team has had In quite q
spell.
The defeat was not alone bad
from the standpoint of scoring; the
game looked bad on top Of 1t. The
boys were fighting all right, but
once the pressure was on they
shriveled up From the outset they
were playing a defensive game,
seemingly almost certain Morris
was going to win, but praying they
could postpone it.
They did postpone 1t to the Sec
ond half. For the first quarter
they played on even terms. Sank
Centre racked its two first downs
right along side Of Morris. Harry

in the line for him combined with

DOUBLE PARKING VOORHEES,
Motorists Can Help Solve Local Problem

Centre and deserve commentator
for their efforts. People, who
double park, should bear in mind
that this Is not a Sank Centre ar

mendable act on the part of all
motorists when forced to park
double to remain in their cars so
that they can be moved at a NOM
ent's notice to allow other travellers
TO proceed on their way without
delay.
If motorists will cooperate in this
matter it will greatly alleviate a

and they will be doing themselves
and others a great favor.
