Work Started Today
On Local Standpipe
Work on the foundations for the
water tower in Mount Vernon was
slated to start this morning by the
Pittsburg Des Moines Company,
builders of the tower.
Laborers wishing to work on the
project must apply at the state
employment office in the Beaver
Building in Cedar Rapids to obtain
cards that entitle them to apply to
the contractor for work. These
cards are absolutely necessary to
apply for work on the project.
The foundations will be four
feet square at the top, nine feet
square at the bottom and extend
5½ feet below the ground level.
They are considered strong enough
to support 1200 tons. It is calcu-
lated that the tower and tank,
when filled with water, will weigh
750 tons.

NEW APARTMENTS
MAY BE INSPECTED
A little work and a little imagin-
ation has changed the house of
Miss Bertha and Mr. Ross Baldwin
on west ,Main Street into attractive
and comfortable apartments which
are units within themselves. Law-
rence Hunter has done the car-
penter work in transforming the
large house into two roomy apart-

ing and Dale Johnson the plumbing
and heating.
Proud of their work these men.

ject next Sunday from 2:30 until

Separate entrances for each
apartment have 'been built and each
oue has its own electricity and
hot water in addition.
On the first floor a parlor was
made into a bedroom by taking:
out au outside door arm closing
up an old sliding door. An open
stairway was made into a closed
one to give the upstairs apartment
a separate entrance. A partition
was taken out between two rooms
to make a long comfortahle living
room. One closet was enlarged to
make a bathroom and two more
new closets were 'built into the bed-
rooms.
Upstairs one of the four bed-
rooms was made into a modern
kitchen. Another bedroom and
I long. dark hall were put together to
ity program by the Mount Vernon
Band and school children, hoth
rural and town, held in the high
school Christmas eve, while an
unestimated number of children
were entertained at the movie pro-
grant in the afternoon.
One o'clock proved the starting
time for stone youngsters who
~athered on the street at that time
to be sure not to miss Santa Claus
in his 2 p. m. appearance. How-
ever through no fault of his own
St. Nick (lid not make his appear-
at that time. A balky horse
which was supposed to draw the
bright red and green cutter for him
qfile in Mount Vernon, upset the
well laid plans for the day, and
the young citizens began to wonder
if son](, of the rumors about Santa
laus' non-being were correct.
They were escorted to the free
show provided for the rest of the
afternoon program where Santa
Claus made his belated appearance
and was welcomed all the more
warmly for his tardiness.
The usual overflow crowd at-
tended the evening program at
the high school where the many
school children presented a well
~pplauded variety program. The
Mount Vernon band, under
the direction of Dillon Hol-
comi), played several selections
before the regular entertainment
began preceeded by an address of
welcome by Harold Ehle, president
of the Chamber of Commerce. I).
IT. Van Metre was the capmble mas-
ter of ceremonies of the well
rounded program.
A harmonica number was the op-
ening selection of the evening and
was presented by Lenora Dvorak,
Billy Mi]holin, Clifford Peterson,
and Helen Peterson of the Jackson
school. Another Jackson school
student, Kenneth Peterson, gave a
recitation. Miss Doris Montgomery
is the teacher of this school.
Leigh school pupils, taught by
Robert Johnson, presented songs in
which Myron Coppock, W'illard
Martin, Mary Lot Sproston. Mari-
lyn Coppock, Melvin Coppock, Don-
na Yeisley, Robert Sproston, Mari-
lyn Yeisley and Ann Goodyear par-
ticipated in followed by a tap dance
by Ann Goodyear.
A recitation "Visit from Saint
Nicholas" by Ruth Evelyn Uthoff
was presented for Rosedale No. 2,
Avilda Uthoff, teacher.
Mary and Harian Rodman of
Glenwood school, taught by Lu-
cille Russell, sang "Star of the
East."

tionaire by Bobby and Marylyn
Woods and a pantomime, "Night
Before Christmas," by Kenneth
Emery and Richard Broulik.

ing were Dorothy Helen Zinkula,

presented a popular aecordian solo.
Donald Henik, Betty Pospisel,
Junior Lorence and Geraldine Lor-
enee each gave recitations repre-
senting Rosedale school No. 4,

The whole assemblage then
swung out in a sing directed by E.
J. Osgood which precluded the ar-
rival of Santa Claus in Mount Ver-
non for the second time that day,
during which time he presented his
candy treats to the kiddies.
Much of the praise which arose
fro" the whole program presented in
Mount Vernon should go to Fred
Young, eommittee chairman who
served in a supremely efficient
manner.
Post Office Reports
Slight Increase
A slight increase in business over
a year ago in the Mount Vernon
Post Office was reported by Mrs.
M. D. Clark, postmaster. Although
a huge volume of business was han-
dled during the month it was not
so troublesome as some years be-
cause it was steady and spread out.
An exact check of the lausiness has
not yet been made, but postal
volume at the present time will
top that of last year if the present
rate is continued. However the
lead is slight and it is not known
what will be found on the quarter-
ly check after Jan. 1st.
New Rotarians Are Given

service room of the Iowa Electric

WARNING SIGNAL
BADLY NEEDED
AT ASH CROSSING
Rollin --Bo w m a n

The need of'a warning signal at
Ash crossing was clearly shown
about eight o'clock on Monday eve-
ning when Rollin Bowman drove

away from the train by the impactMary Tonne, John, Lauren and
and very fortunately no one was Warren of .Marion. A daughter,
seriously injured although the ear IMrs. Roy Clark of Chicago was
was very badly damaged.
Mr. Bowman was enroute north
with his housekeeper, Mrs. Naomi
Hammond, and her son Howard.
It was snowing and 'blowing and
the crossing was approached slow-
ly. 'Mr. Bowman looked up and
down the track, saw no lights,
and thought it was safe to cross.
When about 15 feet from the train
he realized that a train was pass-
ing over the crossing. He swerved
the car to the left but the front
end struck the moving train. On
the slippery crossing the car was
slid to the southeast and did not
turn over. Although the car was
disabled by the crash it was gotten
off of the west bound track before
a train came along.
Mrs. Hammond received lacera-
tions on the left side of her face,
one of them being very near to the
eye. Her face and jaw were bruis-
ed and she suffered from shock.
She and her son had spent Christ-
mas at the home of her sister and
family, Mrs. Perry Woods south of
town and were enroute to Bow-
man's when the accident occurred.
q#Le train crew did not know an
accident had occurred. It is pre-
sumed that the train was the
Hawkeye which went thru here
at 7:50 p.m.
Other narrow escapes from the
same kind of an accident have been
reported to this office. In the in-
terest of saving a life either a light
should be placed close enough to
the crossing to light it or a warn-
ing signal should be installed. A
complaint that this crossing was
not safe was made to the C&~W
railroad by the Chamber of Com-
nlercc two or three years ago.
Streamliners traveling west at
from 80 to 90 miles an hour shoot
out from behind the orchard on the
right so that a driver traveling
north can be taken by surprise.
Coming from the north a view
of the track west is ,blocked by the
residence and orchard north of
the track.
It seems to this newspaper that
the dangers of this crossing are
such that a warning signal should
be erected as soon as possible be-
fore a fatality occurs.
LET CONTRACT FOR
ROCKING ROAD
SOUTH OF TOWN
Baker & Patton were low bidders
on rock surfacing for the road east
from the Frank Wolrab farm to the
Cedar county line, known as coun-
ty road X, when bids were opened

ing. The contract is subject to ap-
proval by the PWA office at
Omaha.

clude putting 5,775 cubic yards of

Louis Hansen, Cedar county sup-
ervisor, told the IAnn county sup-
ervisors that Cedar county would
probably extend the rock into Ce-
dar county for three-quarters of a
mile.
Concrete Materials Co, of Cedar
Rapids were low with a 'bid of
$12,495 on the river road leading
south-east from Cedar Rapids, con-

Grade Operetta "The Magic
Piper" Scored Big Hit
The operetta, "The iMagic Piper"
given last Thursday evening by the
Mount Vernon grade school, was
one of the best performances of its
kind ever given in the school audi-
torium, according to the comments
of many who attended, The acting
of Richard Dvorak who was the
piper and Billy Pringle, who played
the part of the mayor of Hamlin,
was especially complimented. More
than one hundred of the grade
school children took part in the
musical parts. The third grade
rhythm band, under the direction
of Donald DeCamp, was enjoyed.
The operetta was under the super-
vision of Richard Fuller, and Miss
Marie Yaryan. A very good attend-
ance witnessed the production.

in Lisbon in a small way since the
Pennsylvania Dutch settled there in
1847 has been organized on a busi-

placed Stahl's Hickory-Smoked
sausage on the market within re-

A home kitchen industry for
many years, the smoked sausage
has been sold out in a small way

pork meat that can be obtained,
holding the sausages are trans-
ferred to the smoke house, built on-
to the rear of the sausage factory.
Smoke from hickory wood placed
in a shallow stove at the rear pass-
es over the sausage and gives it the
delicious smoke taste.
The factory has a capacity of a
ton a day but probably will not be
operated at that rate. A ton of
meat can be placed in the smoke
house at one time. From 500 to
800 pounds a day probably will be
made.
People who have used this
sausage in other years write for
it and shipments have ah-eady been
made to Massachusetts, Joliet, Ill.,
Chicago, New Hampshire, Cali-
fornia, Minnesota, Ne'braska and
Texas.
