Since Ore Oelkers painted the front of his building bright red, the temperature

has gone up several degrees down in this part of town.

PENMANSHIP AWARDS- Sixteen seventh and eighth graders have earned the Final Certificate Award in penmanship under Miss Goetting. Eight more earned junior certificates, four more than received them on their first try early this spring. To receive the certificates themselves students will have to pay 35 cents for a Final certificate or 30 cents for a Junior Certificate. This is optional.

Kicked in the Mouth by Horse- Vincent Scott of East Mazeppa was kicked in the mouth by a horse Monday forenoon while hooking a tug. He got between two horses and when one kicked the other he was in the way. Three stitches were taken in his lip at Dr. Bowers; and he lost several teeth.

Among those from this section attending the meeting of school bus drivers at Wabasha Friday were Art Hoeft, Vern Siems, J.S. Wild, and Geo. Warren. Cars were checked for licenses, brakes, lights, etc. and safety slides were shown to encourage that precaution. About 50 were present.

Percy Jarrett was in town Friday for paint to complete his three new farm buildings—-a barn, hog house and chicken coop. Percy says that he can buy to more advantage in Mazeppa than further away is pleased with everything he got here from material to men.

Miss Celia Majerus of Plainview has taken a position at the Mons Larson tavern.

John Bergstralh, who has been working in California, returned last week for a couple of weeks’ visit at his parents’ in South Mazeppa.

Ore Oelkers, W.F. Smith, C.G. Helgerson and O.G. Nichols went to Wabasha Monday to attend a meeting called to explain the food stamp plan. Another meeting has been called to go further into this complicated matter.

The special Sunday dinner at the Walker café Sunday was attended by a large number. Out of town persons present included Mr. and Mrs. Paul Ford of Rochester. Everyone was pleased with the menu and service of the newly equipped and redecorated cafe
