Barbara and Reider Tommeraas


February 11, 1949

Impl’t Days Slated Here
Next week in Mazeppa is earmarked for the farmers, and their families, with two entertainment packed shows scheduled.
The first one will be presented at 8 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 15, at the high school auditorium, sponsored by Mazeppa Hardware & Implement Co., International Harvester Dealers. Wednesday, Feb. 16, Minneapolis Moline Day will be sponsored by M.J. Hart & Son at 1:30 p.m. in the auditorium.
The free family party of Mazeppa Hardware & Implement Co. will have an all new variety show featuring top talent. Among the acts are The Great Roy and Madame Helene, a baffling act of mind reading and magic; Van and Arrvela , comedy, music and dancing; John Shirley, America’s top puppeteer, and Glen and Margaret, instrumental and vocal team, assisted by their dog “Brownie.”
Educational and travel films will also be shown, as well as an Abbott and Costello comedy.
Films will top the program on Minneapolis-Moline Day. One of the films, entitled “This Heritage of Ours,” features the great episodes in the growth of America. The second film “Reasons for the Seasons,” is a story of the seasons, why they occur and how they affect the lives of all living things.
The day will be rounded out with other entertainment, and coffee and doughnuts will be served beginning at 11:30 a.m. at the display room of Hart’s Garage.


It’s a Small World
We were talking to Kerwin Engelhart, a member of the outstanding Hamline basketball team, Sunday. He said that when the team was in California over the holidays, he received a telephone call asking if he were the Kerwin Engelhart who used to be in Mazeppa. Answering in the affirmative, he was told, “This is Max Whipple. I’m from Mazeppa too.” He apparently heard his name during a broadcast of one of the games.

NOTICE
There will be a talk on the reorganization of schools sponsored by Friends of Rural Schools and small schools at the American Legion hall in Mazeppa Wednesday evening, Feb. 16. Rev. Scharlemann will be one of the speakers.
Everyone is welcome, so come and hear what has to be done.

MANY CARS, TRUCKS, SOON HAVE FLASHING TURN SIGNAL
Observance of the law requiring drivers to signal before making right or left turns is expected to improve as mechanical turn signals come into more general use, according to a Minnesota Highway bulletin. Two provisions now in the state traffic will soon require their use on an increasing number of motor vehicles.
A section of the 1947 law requires that all new motor vehicles sold in the state after July, 1949, must be equipped with approved mechanical turn signals.
