Stohlmans Aid Stranaed Girls August Stohlman has proved himself a hero to the more than fifty Camp Harriet Harding campers and their parents who were stranded in the rain in Louisville on Sunday, July 9. In a heavy truck he loaded the campers and their luggage and made two trips through the rain and mud. At the invitation of the Stohl- mans, waiting parents and chil- dren found shelter in their house and garage. This is only one of many times that Mr. Stohlman has shown consideration and thoughtfulness of the needs of this camping community. He has brought milk, bread and other essential food supplies through when no other supplier would risk the trip. We are grateful for this opportunity to thank Mr. Stohlman for his ser vice and appreciation of the needs of others. He is a fine community-minded neighbor. Virginia Langfellner.

Davis, was here at the week end to visit at the Davis home. Miss Fedde has retired from the University of Nebraska, her successor being a former pupil, Miss Dorothea Schlaphoff, mem ber of a prominent family of western Cass county . WThile she has retired from the University work at Lincoln. Miss Fedde has been called to a larger field by the United States government, that will take her to new lands and newer fields for her teaching work in home economics. She is to go to Ger many where the government is to have her introduce home eco nomics in the educational system of the state of Hesse, one of the large sectors of the American area. Miss Fedde will introduce modern methods of homemaking in that area as a part of the educational system. The stay in Germany will re quire some six months, then Miss Fedde has been requested by the government to proceed to Lebanon, where she will take over the introduction of home economics in the schools of that country. This will take some time, at the close of her work it may be possible to indulge in one of her long desires, that of a world tour. The tour will, of course, be dependent, on the war conditions that may exist at that time in the world. W. J. Hartwick Fifty Years Here Mr. and Mrs. William J.

Weeping Water Youth Remembered WEEPING WATER (Special to Juornal) Kenneth Stratton, son oi Mr. and Mrs. Lee Stratton of Weeping Water was the re cipient of a surprise gift last Wednesday evening, when at the weekly band concert he was pre- ecmeu a, new cornet. Harry Hart made the presentation during the intermission and told the concert listeners of how7 Kenny had labored to earn money to buy a much longed for cornet, so that he could play in the school band. As sisted by his parents in the amount needed he finally real ized his ambition, only to have it shattered when this spring's flood waters -carried -away the Stratton home and all their be longings, including the preeious cornet. Kenny has been play ing a borrowed horn since that time, figuring that that way he wouldn't be losing out en tirely on practices. Interested folks, with Rev. Hart at the wheel, got busy and through their united efforts and the fine cooperation of the music company the amount needed to replace the lost horn was quickly attained, so quickly in fact, that all who would liked to have been in on the surprise missed out. Rev. Hart stated that the horn was not only given because he is the Stratton's boy but be cause he is also a Weeping Water boy. Kenny was as speechless as any young lad could ever be. Later he was heard to re mark to a former teacher, "Do you know who all helped get me my horn?" On being an swered in the negative Kenny replied. "I sure wish I knew so that I could thank each one myself." Just play that horn and keep up with your fine en thusiasm. Kenny, that's all the thanks we need. What a won derful thing Human interest.
