blown off in a hunting accident
in 1908 Ronald has never been
involved in major traffic acct
dent.
During his 40 years with Colwell
Press hired him. there were no
automatic presses or high speed
equipment such as is common in
the plant today. Colwell Press
then could boast of less than a
score of workers; today the firm
has some 200 in its employ.
Born In Texas
Ronald was born in FL Paso. Tex
as Oct. 8, 1894. Shortly later the
Hughes family journeyed north
ward. Ronald grew up in Charles
City, Iowa, where an uncle by the
name of Alex Alexander was chef
in a local hotel. The culinary arts
appealed to Ronald and he began
studying under his uncle's tutel-
ge. This course of traing was
short-lived, however, for he allow
ed a ham to boil over long and IN
Gle Alex clouted his nephew with
it. Ronald decided that there must
be other-and easier--ways to
make a living.
Ronald is an only child. His
mother, who is 80, lives with him
and his wife at 3S11 Fifth Avenue
South. He has stepson-Maurice
Mackey-who lives in Winnipeg
and works for the Canadian Pacif-
ic Railway Mackey gained prom
inence at Central High several
years ago as star athlete in
track and football. He is also mar
ried and has one child
Ronald looks back over his 40
years of service with Colwell Press
as very pleasant ones. And, he's
looking forward to many more
years of service with the company.
He wouldn't say so himself, but
he's an expert in public relations:
Il never leave packages in an Of
flee without first greeting the peo-
pie and finding out where they
want them. I always try to smile
and be courteous. Most of all. I
try to watch out for our customers
in the long run, that's best for Col
well Press"
AS a memento of Ronald's 40
years of service. The Colwell Press
presented him with a combination
power saw, drill press, lathe and
sander for his home work shop.

SEXTON ATTENDS CONFAR

The Reverend c. NJ. Sexton, pas
tor of Border Methodist Church
of Minneapolis, was among the
ministers and delegates attending
the conference on city church
work at Central Park Methodist
Church, st. Paul, on October 8.
St. Paul recorder. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1934-2000, 1953-10-16

in Minneapolis since 1910. And
he's the only Colwell Press worker
who has the distinction of having
served at one time as boss over
FELTON, Colwell. now president of
the firm.
Describing Ronald as "one of
the loops best-known figures" and
as the printing firms top good
will merchant" Colwell recalled
the days prior to World War /
when he served as paper baler and
janitor under Ronald's watchful
direction.
Started with firm In 1910
Ronald got his first sniff of
printers ink in April of 1910 when
he started work as a janitor and
errand boy for Mitchell Printing
Co, then located at AIS Third Ave-
nue. North. Minneapolis was then
a much more closely-knit commu-
nifty than it is now and Ronald
made his deliveries in a hand
pushcart. 1t was in 1918 that the
Colwell Press, headed by the late
TIL. Colwell, bought out the print
ing firm owned by the late Cyril
Mitchell; Ronald stayed on under
the new management.
FELTON, Colwell was then a
schoolboy who helped out after
school and on Saturdays as Ron
AIDS assistant.
Says Future Boss Was Good
Worker
Ronald remembers FELTON, as a
serious co-worker who helped out
with the paper baling and per-
formed janitorial duties as well as
other chores. Young Colwelrs in
terest in delivery increased re-
markedly when Ronald acquired
a three-wheel motorcycle the
second commercial delivery mo-
torcycle in Minneapolis. From
then on. Ronald recalls, FELTON,
was after me all the time to take
out deliveries on that motor
wheel"
Although Ronald is SO, he looks
hardly 40. Each day he makes
about 30 trips in his big Colwell
Press truck-frequently loaded to
the stake tops. During each month
he puts between 10000 and 1900
miles on his truck. This is in
sharp contrast to the early days
when Ronald could carry the aver
age printing order in his arms
and his mileage hardly reached
$50.

recently.
According to Cpl. Freeman, the
last time he saw his mother was
seven years ago when he was II
years of age. Since that time the
Corporal has made periodic at
tempts to locate his mother but has
failed. The Corporal acknowledges
the fact that his efforts were not
thorough because for a period of
time he helped support his younger
brother and three sisters. During
the last four years the Army re-
quired most of his time.
In his talk with Chaplain Smith,
Cpl. Freeman indicated that his
mother and father separated in
1947 while they were living at
Boston Heights, Ohio. The father
who operated a grocery, gasoline
station and restaurant at Chitten.
