On Tuesday afternoon, January 21st, at three o’clock, another of these splendid lyceum programs will be given in the Junior High Auditorium. This program is to be presented by the Frazer-James Dance Company, consisting of four splendid artists, who will present a varied and high-class entertain ment of dancing and piano music based on classic and modern music that is remarkable for sheer beau ty. This is the highest priced num ber of the year, however, the ad mission to adults will remain the same, 15c. These four versatile artists have a repertoire of nearly one hundred dances and have a working know ledge of the technique of Grecian, Ballet, Toe, Tap, Character and Modern work, including the much talked of Modern German dancing. The personnel of the Frazer- James Dance Company has re mained the same for the past three years and in that time the com pany has made three coast to coast trips, including forty-eight concerts in Canada Return en gagements are the rule and in many cities as many as four con certs have been given under the same local management Paul James, the featured dancer, combines a subtle sense of panto mime with an excellent dance tech nique and is equally at home in the classic, interpretative, or modern schools of the dance. Marguerite and Lois, the assist ing dancers, lend a charm and beauty to the program which ap peals to both professional and lay man. Arthur Frazer, the pianist of the group, is more than merely an ac companist for the dancers. His wide experience as a concert pian ist and his appearances with sym phony orchestras here and abroad make him an ideal musical direc tor, giving, as he does, authentic interpretations of the music used for the dance numbers.

Annual Safety Meeting Tuesday All Interested In Public Safety Are Invited To Attend—Mem bership Fee 26c Gordon Morse says that the Sauk Centre Safety Council wishes that all who believe the Council’s work has been of value make it a point to attenc the annual meeting next Tuesday evening at 8:00 P. M., at the Community Club. If you can not attend, you can express your appreciation by enrolling as a member by paying the small sum of twenty-five cents to Frank Bun ker, Secretary. Your presence at the meeting, however, is greatly to be desired, especially if you have any suggestions which might be of help in planning the 1936 program, if you are interested in safety pro blems. The Traffic Safety contest of the Minnesota Public Safety Commit tee is interesting. Figures for the first ten months of 1935 are just off the press. Sauk Centre is not separately classified because re cords are kept for cities of 5,000 population or more. Sauk Centre is a part of Stearns County, however, and Stearns ranks twelfth in the 33 counties of the State which have 20,000 population or more. Perhaps this is a good showing for the fourth largest populated county in the State, and still Stearns shows an increase from 8 to 9 traffic deaths for this period, (Continued on Page 4, Col. 1) Owner Change of Local Oil Station Will Be Known In Future As Thorne Oil Co.—Royce Russel Manager O.

VOLUME SIXTY-SEVEN—NUMBER THIRTY-THREE Benefit Dance Provides Neat Fund for Golfers Announce At Niblick Club That $156 Was Realized For Support of Golf Links Members of the Niblick Club, the ladies organization complimentary to the Country Club, met at the home of Mrs, W. J. Bryan on Tues day afternoon where they were en tertained with Mrs. H. J. Wood bridge as assisting hostess. Beside the luncheon a business meeting followed at which time it was learned that the definite amount that had been realized from the benefit dance at the Home School on January 2 was $156. The Country Club supper dance sponsored and directed by the la dles organization was the social high light of the winter, an enjoy able affair with the music of Cec Hurst and his band and the tasty lunch served at intermission. The amount derived from the benefit will be applied toward the further maintenance of the local Country Club, which because of financial difficulties faced closing. Just how far this amount will go is ques tionable, but it will help to main tain the golf course as an integral part of the community for some time longer. The ladies wish to thank those who responded so well, and they themselves are to be commended on the splendid affair.

Plan Red Cross First Aid Stations Personnel Will Be Trained—Public Invited To Attend First Aid Instruction “36,000 deaths; 1,250,000 people injured; 105,000 permanent crip ples—the toll of the highways in one year is the challenge to the American Red Cross. This great humanitarian organization cannot prevent accidents, but it can, and will, minimize the death rate by placing at the disposal of the trav eling public a national net-work of first aid stations along the high ways of the nation at points where medical aid is not immediately available,” said Mr. Betts, of the National Red Cross, at a meeting of the local chapter in St. Cloud Wednesday noon. The cost of equipping a first aid station is $20.00. Maintenance costs about SIO.OO per year. Not more than 20 such stations will service Stearns county. Within two weeks First Aid classes will be started in St. Cloud for the eastern end of the county. Stations will be equip ped at Luxemburg and at the Junction of Nos. 23 and 52, west of St. Cloud. Following completion of classes in St. Cloud instruction in First Aid will be given in Sauk Centre and stations will be opened, possibly, at Padua and Elrosa. The program will continue until the entire coun ty is serviced. First Aid instruction is also in tended for the general public. This phase of Red Cross First Aid is designated as "Mobile First Aid.” The plan contemplates the eventual installing of First Aid kits in every car. A committee of three was ap pointed to start the project: Sheriff Art Mclntee for the county, Dr. Lippert for eastern Steams and M. J. Fleming for western Stearns. H. S. Lost To Alex By 26-19 Score Locals Have Not Hit Stride— Independents Going Great Guns OSAKIS HERE FRIDAY Speedy Game Monday Night Enjoyed by Fair Crowd Of Fans Sauk Centre high school’s var sity and second team quints nose dived for their post-holiday open ing at Alexandria last Friday even ing when in a preliminary contest the seconds lost 13 to 8. The main event of the evening found the lo cals short on the 26 to 19 score, Alexandria employed a break similar to our own, a slow break that speeded when the opportunity presented itself. The locals had lit tle difficulty getting deep in to the defense of the Alx lads, but thy couldn’t sink a shot. Fouling on the part of the locals was heavy, while Alex turned up on the light end of the fouling. La Course opened the scoring as he laid in a nice basket on a fast break play. La Course succeeded himself doubling with Urness to mess up the local defense. The lo cals peppered in several longs that fell short, and Brandon went in fast to cover and open local scor ing. LaCourse scored again on a one handed shot from the field and the quarter ended 6 to 2 in favor of Alexandria. In the opening of the second quarter Arvig and Brandon both playing deep on the offensive were caught off balance when Erickson intercepted a pass and broke fast to go down to score. EUden scored in the next few plays and LaCourse chalked up his third. Arvig and Keldahl counted a pair for the locals. The boys pranced off the floor at the half with Alex still in the lead 13 to 7. Eiden opened the second half scoring and DeGree connected for the locals after a long drouth. Ar vig took the tip and tossed in an other for the locals. Alexandria counted twice more for the third quarter which finished with them ahead 20 to 11. The last quarter goes by decision of points to the locals. The locals captured four goals while Alex copped six points. DeGree went down the floor to score, and Keldahl covers to score off to side of court. Brandon counted as he took the pass from Keldahl just outside of the foul lane. Dußois counted once, and Lar Course, of Alex, counted with a goal and several free shots. The final score was 26 to 19.

This was more than a good basketball game. It was a matching of two great teams of two different sections of the county. The winning point of the game might be attributed to a technical foul shot which was sunk by Pat Dußois which told the dif ference in a tied score. The exhibition was one of the fastest and closest games played on the home court for several years. Scoring was well divided with Kleber and Meinz at forward and center respectively on the high end of Cold Spring scoring. Pat and Johnny Dußois upheld the brunt of local scoring with 16 points between them. All the other (Continued on Page 4. CoL 1) Annual Meet of Telephone Co.
