Teacher Senior Scout Leaders Of Ogden Area To Meet conference for all senior Scout leaders of the Ogden area A council will be held at Weber college L. D. S. seminary Wednesday evening, October 29, at 7:30 oclock. The story opens on St. Nicholas Eve. Outside Hans and Gretel are skating, not with the rich children of the town, for they have only wooden skates which Hans has carved out with his knife, and they could never keep up with boys and girls skating on shining steel runners. So Hans and Gretel skate only with each other, and great fun they make of it, too. There is one small girl, however, who is determined they shall have skates as fine as the rest. Hilda van Gleck knows they will not allow her to give them skates, but she has noticed about Gretels neck, a beautiful necklace carved from white wood; only Hans clever knife could have carved the delicate ornament., . She admires the chain and, begs Hans to make one for her. She will pay him eight kwartjen for it if he will buy skates with the money. .Meantime in the cottage Father Brinker sits quietly by the fire as usual, but Mother Brinker is happily putting the final touches to a costume she has not worn for many years, a Dutch festival dress such as every true Hollander women high keeps packed away for days, holy days, and . bonfire nights. It is St. Nicholas Eve. Her children must not have all sad memories of their mother. So she gets out the festival dress and once more makes herself gay and cheery for the youngsters. There is great excitement when they come in and find her there. They Interrupt each other, a dozem times to tell of the order for the chain And the skates they, are to--' bujr with the money. They must be Gretel'S, says Hans, because she is the better skater. They must be for Hans, says Gretel, because they will be more useful to him. They are still discussing the new skates when half a dozen young skaters come to call, led by Hilda, to tell Hans and Gretel that a great skating match has just been announced to take place the following month. The prizes are to be silver skates, and Hans and Gretel must surely enter the race. Hilda will not take no for an answer, and tall handsome Peter, properly instructed by Hilda, makes their entry possible by ordering a chain for his sister. The callers leave, and Hans set ties down to his carving. But another thought comes to Hans! Sixteen kwartjen! Could he use the money to get a doctor to come and see Father? It This conference is for all leaders of every senior unit in the Ogden area council. Each' leader is requested to bring with hLn one of his boy leaders.

Now the good thing else they could know, if man told them that the watch a doctor could cure the father. had been given him by a lad But mother tells him a doctor would not come for twice his money. She has already spent much money on doctors, but none have done him any good. So Hans must buy skates with his money, and someday perhaps they will be able to save enough to get a really great doctor to see Father, one who might really cure him. She finishes a fine pair of stockings and sends Hans to sell them at the store. On his way to the store, Hans sees a tail, distinguished man skating toward him. It is the greatest doctor in all Holland, Dr. Boekman. Hans concern for his father makes him forget to be afraid. If you will only cure my father, .1 will work all my life to repay you, he pleads. The doctor is moved by Hans' sincerity, and promises to see , the Father Two days later the little family awaits the result of an operation which the great doctor had performed on the father. Would he know them when he waked? And then into the quiet came the voice of the sick man, callYou can ing faintly Mietje. imagine their feelings of gratitude and joy that the delicate operation had been a success, and you can imagine the confusion of the poor man whose mind had gone to sleep ten ypars ago, when Crete', was only two, to find so much that was unfamiliar on his waking. Two things had disturbed the good Vrouw while her husband had1 been ill. When he was brought home they found in his pocket a silver watch. She had kept it hoping that Raff would someday be able to tell who it who was escaping from Holland because he had accidentally killed a man. The watch was to be given to the boys father with an address in England to which the boy was going. Raff could not remember the boys name, but when the doctor saw the watch he told them it had belonged to his son, who made a mistake in mixing some medicine. The lad did not know that his father had found out in time to prevent the patient taking it. All these years the doctor had been trying to find his son, and now the man he had so generously helped was able to end his search lor him. The other puzzling thing was what Itaff had done with their sAvinfes of A thousand 'guildem. How many time that money would have helped them during the fAtheria Illness! But though they had almost taken the house apart searching for it, they could not find it. Raffs story sent them scurrying out with picks to dig the frozen earth about the roots of the willow stree where the two stockings full of gold' had lain safely hidden for ten long years. At 'last came the day of the race. A happy little Gretel, skimming like a bird on the new skates Hans had bought her, tame in so far ahead of the others that Raff and Mietje were filled with pride. So the Brinker family faced the future happily, with father well and able to work, Hans someday to become a great surgeon, and Gretel determined that she, too, must work hard at school if she is to prepre herself to be a great Meisters sister. nfiiyy 8 Pages CITIZENS AND SCHOOL BOARD Tuesday Is Final Capacity Crowd Anticipated For Charming Children s Play Hans Brinker, "To Be Here November First ily. e 5 may be reached by telephone at 906, the number having been changed from her previously-announcelisting, No. 406. sun-burne- its way cut.

The representatives expressed their desires and suggestions for the new building, and the school board reported on investigations and studies which already have been made under their direction, and the state progress of plans for a new building to Cenreplace the tral school building. Leonard Bishop, president of the school boaid, opened the meeting and expressed gratification that the public had shown so much interest in the rebuilding and planning of the future house for Central school in Brigham City. Kenneth E. Weight, superintendent of Box Elder school district, exhibited a number of pictures of the fire which destroyed the old building, in several stages, and architects sketches deof a number of suggested signs for a new building. The superintendent then called for questions and expressions from those present, In answer to a question, he said that approximately $77,000 was realized from insurance on the old building 100 percent of the value of the building. The matter of location of the new building was brought into discussion, .and the superintendent said that some investigations hqdl beenmadewith reference to TTi "quest ioiiL-anthat no conclusion' had been drawn, fhei matter of the old site being rather small containing only three acres was mentioned, and some discussion of Its location adjacent to a four-lanhighway took place, both with regard to the traffic danger, and the disturbance of classes resulting from the passing of certain noisy heavy trucks, times it is impossible to" carry onNt conversation in some of the stores along Main street while some of those trucks are going down the street," one of those in attendance at the meeting declared. J. D. Gunderson, principal of Central school, said that in certain instances this holds true of classrooms in the school, particularly when trucks are parked and then start up in front of the school house. also Superintendent Weight reported that the citys deed conveying the north portion of the Central school grounds lot to the board of education provides that title revert to the city whenever the school district discontinues the use of the lot for school purposes. It was suggested that the site possibly could be used for a community auditorium, or that the school district might construct a gymnasium and and possibly board of education headquarters, to ree audi-toriu- tain possession of the site, should a school building be constructed elsewhere. The board of education quarters in the county court house is acquired at a monthly rental of $100 from the county. The superintendent further reported that no tests had been made as to whether or. not the buildwalls of the burned-ou- t ing had been damaged to such an extent by heat and water that they could not be again used. The matter was under consideration, he said, to determine how much if any of the old building could be used in the new construction. B. C. Call suggested that there is available to the board of education a large tract of ground on the west side of the Bushnell hospital area, on which various valuable buildings already are located. He suggested that this possibly could be purchased at a substantial discount. School districts are eligible to discounts as high as 95 percent in the purchase of certain War Assets This would leave property. room for future development, possibly of a junior high school building, or junior college, Call pointed out. The question was asked if it would be out of place to ask for another meeting of the board. after parties present had had a chance to investigate some of the matters that had been brought to their attention. The board agreed to this, and said the date of a future meeting would be announced through the News-Journal- . Corinne Area No. To Operate 1 Pheasant hunting area No. 1 in Box Elder county will operate again this year, Ralph Fors-grepresident of the Corinne Land Owners Pheasant asso' ciation, announced this week. The number of hunters to be allowed in the area will be limited to about 600, he said, and all hunters must have a permit to hunt within the area. Permits good for all three days of the pheasant, season will cost $1. All permits must be purchased before the opening day of the season; none will be sold at the checking stations. Hunters may purchase permits at the Bear River Valley store on Highway 30 in Corinne, and at Thompsons Co-o- p Hardware in Brigham City, Forsgren announced. The permits will go on sale this week, and will continue until the day preceding season opening, or until 600 permits have been sold. "Hunters shooting within the area are expected to observe all game laws and to respect the property' of all property owners, Forsgren added. Closing Of Wells Aw , Is Ordered Nov. 1 State Engineer Ed H. Watson has proclaimed the closing of wells diverting water from unsources beginning derground with November 1, 1947, and ending April 1, 1948, as provided by law. All persons owning, or having control of, any artesian or pump well, or wells, in this state are required to close, by plug, cap, valve, or other mechanical device or by repairs, all wells except those providuse. ing water for beneficial Beneficial use during the above period does not include irrigation. This order does not apply to wells in Flowell district of Millard county, or the Erda and Grantsville districts of Tooele county, ail of which are provided for in other orders. It is also of provided that modification said order may be granted upon a showing to the State Engineer that a compliance therewith will cause partial or complete failure of the well. The closing season of underground water has been proclaimed in the interest of conserving the underground water supply and to provide a maximum quantity for the next years use. As a result of last years Closing Order there was made available during the past season additional water which materially helped to mature crops. Strict obedience to this Closing Order will further increase the supply. Disregard of the Closing Order is a misdemeanor and if necessary, the State Engineer will bring action in the district court to enforce the law. Demands New Car Plus Damages For Waiting Tex. (UP) A HOUSTON, Houston man, tired of waiting for his new car, took drastic action by filing suit for delivery of a 1947 model and $1,500 damages for having to wait so long. Earl M. Futch said he ordered a new car on Oct 15, 1945. He was told he was near the top of the list. Futch paid $100 toward his new car and later sold his old car to the dealer for $175 under its market value. Still. no new car, so Futch went to court. He charged that people who got on the list after he did have already got their cars. The castor bean, from which castor oil is extracted, belongs to the same family as the Christmas flower, the poinsetta. mn rnmwrir i |
