THE PIONEER HISTORY AND PROPHECY he has brought to the Ford car. Recently in a race at Indianapolis he attained the speed of 184.7 miles per hour. Sept. 11,‘36—A friend in California has informed us that Miss Hazel Sage will play the lead in the latest Hollywood production. We hope that W. J. Davison, the local manager of the Electric theatre will soon book the film. No wonder Floyd was headed for California as reported in last week’s issue. Dec. 20, ‘36—Lynn Dirkenson is home to spend the holidays with friends. For the past two years he has been engaged as a street car conductor in a suburb of Chicago. The editor expects to have a chat with him before he returns to the city so further details will be given next week. Incidently he owes us for three years subscription to this valuable paper of oui's. Feb. 7, ‘37—A shower was held at the Robert Cogdill home in honor of their youngest daughter Francis, who is soon to be married. The bride to be was presented with many useful articles and her friends all unite in wishing her success with her third leap into the pond of matrimony. June 16, ’37 —The editor attended the circus at Algona last Wed- nesday and while there had the pleasure of meeting Miss Aleeda Tobin now a tight rope walker for Barnum and Bailey’s circus. Nov. 1, ‘37—G. C. Gildings Jr. announces he will be a candidate for the office of Collector of the Dog Tax at the coming election. His advertisement will be found on another page. Nov. 28, ‘37—Miss Opal Schrader has recently been hired as the instructor in vocal music at the state institution for the deaf and dumb. As Miss Schrader is a well known and a gifted singer, she will in no time develop some very good vocal artists. Jan. 3, ’38—“Stow’s Melody Makers” furnished the music for a dance held in the Community Building last Friday night. Donald Stow of this place is owner and director of the orchestra. The orches- tra is now open for engagements, but it will tour the country on the Chautauqua platform this summer. 19 2 3 ia
