.SAUK LAKE FROZE
OVER ON SCHEDULE
Ice Skating Will Not
Open On Usual Time,
Say City Officials

Sauk Lake wrapped itself in its
winter robes Of ice about on sched-
ule this year but the traditional
opening for ice skating on the
usual Thanksgiving Day which
would be today-is deferred.
The lake froze last Thursday
night and by Sunday was two
inches thick in the lower lake, H.
F. Bastien reported, but warm
weather since has weakened the
Warning Is re-issued-after
the near fatal accident of
week ago-that the ice is not
yet safe. It will require some
additional cold weather before
it is considered ready to be
used.
The ice sheet seemed to be perm
anent though and that heralds the
first real sign Of winter. The
freeze was noted as normal this
year. An earlier freeze in the
lower half of the lower lake only
had lasted for a week but winds
breaking into the open water had
dissolved it.
A year ago the lake had frozen
during the Armistice Day bliz-
zard, considerably earlier, and was
mixed up like a "cholocate pud-
ding"

He warned too that not all en-
phasis should be placed on juven-
lie boy delinquents. "As many
girls appear in my court as boys"
he said.

this worthwhile work.
In case any person should receive
envelopes without the Christmas
Seals. they are asked to notify L.
A. Walker, chairman. Some of
these have been sent out without
seals, but there were only a few
of them. If you did not get your
seals advise the local chairman at
once.
This is work that has in part
freed America Of the great white
plague, and is in fact a protection
for you and the members Of your
family. You too can become a
vital part in the program to fur
ther aid in stamping out this dread
disease through purchase Of the
Christmas Seals.
Mr.. Walker reports a splendid
response to the drive to date, but
in order to meet last years sales
there must be many more purchas-
ers of the seals. Send your dollar
to Mr.. Walker as soon as possible.
IF YOU cannot afford dollar, you
may buy as many stamps as you
wish at either of the city's drug
stores, or from the local chairman.
Buy now, and aid in the war
against tuberculosis. 1t is a hum
unitarian war, and your action
may be the result Of saving one
of your own family from the raw
ages Of tuberculosis.
These mercy stamps can be used
for decoration on Christmas pack

pirate to the season.

cred Sunday and the Larson car
was found Monday.
r. J. Young had parked the car
in front of the Boston Drug Store
with the keys In while he went in
to the store to do some shopping.
When he returned several minutes
later 1t was gone. County and city
officers were Immediately notified
and a description of the car sent
to officers all over this area. 1t
was located in the ditch north of
Sauk Centre. Robert Zebley had
been picked UP in Sauk Centre by
state highway patrolmen as a sus-
picious character. He had $40 In
bills in his pockets besides small
amount Of change and two quarters
hidden in his shoes. $40 in bills
had been left in the glove compart-
ment Of the Young car and PEN
Gil marks on the bills correspond
ed to marks on the money found
in zebley's possession.
Questioned here by county offic-
ials, Zebley denied any connection
with the theft but admitted he had
been dropped off by a motorist in
Alexandria Saturday. He said he
had intended hooking a freight
train towards Arizona where he
would look for work as a cow hand
but didn't explain the fact that
Sauk Centre was the opposite di-
rection where he intended to go.
Zebley confessed that he had
served a two-year term in the St.
Cloud Reformatory for grand lar
ency and had been parolled in jan
uary, 1910. A check-up with Fer
gus Falls authorities discovered
that he was wanted there for car
theft and for violation Of parole.
He was turned over to the sheriff
of Ottertail county Tuesday for
Echo, Alexandria.
Local police officers, Night Police
Nolan Gilbert, and Deputy Sheriff
George Fish figured in the capture
of the prisoner, and found and
brought the car into this city.
This was a nice piece Of work on
the part of the local police and
the highway patrolmen.

STEARNS COUNTY
HENS HELP FARM
INCOME HIGHER

Stearns County hens are doing
their part to assist the national
farm income to the highest level
In IL years. Estimates indicate
that the farmers gross income in
1941 will exceed eleven billion dol
lars for the first time since 1929,
up two billion over 1910.
Coupling heavy production with
a favorable market condition means
that income from eggs alone should
exceed 100000. The nations
hens are expected to produce forty
billion eggs this year, on the basis
Of production figures to date as
sembled.
Heavy defense buying and sales
promotion activities were prime
reasons for the higher price struc-
ture.
The favorable price situation is
illustrated by the fact that in the
flush production period this year
1t took only 6.37 dozen eggs to buy
100 pounds Of poultry ration, COM
pared with 8.27 in the same period
last year.
The equivalent. Of nearly 100000
600 dozen eggs in shell, frozen and
powdered form, has been purchas-
ed since the lend-lease bill was
passed.
Quality campaigns, resulting in
a better grade Of eggs in Mime
sofa brought about increased pur-
chasing by the mass distributors.
Production in the state is expect
ed to exceed 65,967, 900 dozen eggs,
with Stearns County contributing
more than 100000 dozen Of this
total

them the one common factor has
been national defense and its rela-
ton to the small municipality. In
the morning session discussions
centered on the change in cigaret
licensing and sewer fiancing.
Lone woman official among
all these men was Anna L.
Korll, village recorder of Flens-
burg, who was introduced to the
gathering by Mr.. Schwarzbauer
at the noon meeting.
"Basicallv," Mr.. Douglas said in
outlining the work of the Public
Works Reserve" the biggest re-
source Of our nation is men and
women at free work"
He painted a background with
these statistics. The Regular Army
of half a million men is expected
to reach from three to four mil
lions within three years. Two mill
lion men in defense industries are
expected to be augmented to 20
to 25 million in two or three years.
And normal national income of
so billions is expected to increase
to 115 billions.
The Public Works Reserve is

A prospectus of projects listed
from various towns all over the
nation will be gathered by this
agency, he said. From this and a
study Of financing in the various
communities, a nationwide plan,
scaled to a community basis, will
be the setup for the Public Works
Reserve.

APPEAL VOICED
 BY MRS. ALSOP
Auxiliary, Girl Scouts Are Among Agencies Appeal
 ed to Aid in Drive

Urging that the American Legion Auxiliaries, Boy Scouts, woman's civic and church clubs, and Girl Scouts enlist as workers in the canvass, Mrs. Joseph w. Alsop, State Chairman of the Aluminium Scrap Collection Committee. today directed letter of preliminary jn- struction to all local aluminium col- lection chairmen.
 Pointing out that the State De- tense Council will cooperate wher- ever possible, Mrs. AlSop emphasized that success in the collection drive July 2l to July 27 lies entirely in the local community.
 Appointed last week by Colonel Samuel H. Fisher, State Adminis- trator, Mrs. Alop is working from Defense headquarters at the State Armory Tn Hartford where complete information will be available to nll local defense councils and aluni- mum scrap collection chairmen,
 In addition to the letter to the local aluminium scrap collection chairmen, Mrs. Alsop has also for- Warded a communication to local defense councils where no alumni mum scrap collection chairmen nave been as yet named, urging immediate action so that all le9 towns will be represented when the house. toulouse canvass is started on July 2l.
 "So much has been said in the press and on the radio about the importance and necessity of alumi- mum in our defense program" Mrs. Alsop said, T believe 1t will re- quire little urging to have every woman in Connecticut lO0% be- hind the drive to collect scrap aluminium. The women of our state have always responded when called upon for service and they will not be found wanting this time"
 Mrs. Alsop said that information on appointments to local commit tees and subcommittee for the collection period is being sent to local chairmen as rapidly as their names are being received at state headquarters.
