NEWS BRIEFS FROM
AROUND OUR STATE
Train Strikes Truck, Driver
Bawls Out Crew For Being Late
Marion—, Wis.—A Northwestern,' road gasoline train running
late, struck a farm truck. Rushing up to investigate, the conductor found the driver, Ed-Kuep
siting on the wreckage, watch in
hand. "Say, what the—kind ot
a railroad is this?" Ed demanded. "Don't your trains ever
run on time? This puddle jumper was due in here a half hour
ago. Do you expect a person to
watch out for this crossing all
the time?"
RECOVERS MONEY AFTER
A YEAR IN THE LAKE
. Pelican Rapids—Paper momey
in an ordinary billfold, lost over
a year ago in a deep section of a
lake, was recovered and redeemed last week by M. Sorenson,
manager of the creamery at
Pelican Rapids. As a result Sorenson is $42 bette off than he
thought. Last year while fishing in Silent Lake, he lost his bill
fold containing $60. in currency
in the lake. He hunted for the
billfold, and found some papers
that had been1 in it in the lake
floating on the water, but there
was no sign of the wallet or the
money. This past summer the
billfold was found by some children residing along the lake
shore. The currency was in the
billfold but was so badly decomposed that it was feared it could
not be identified. The money
was sent to the United States
Redemption division and just recently Sorenson received a check
for $42. The rest of the money
could not be identified. The de-
nbrtiinations were four ten dollar
bills and two one dollar bills.
LONE BEAVER BUILDS
DAM, SHOWS UP FERA
Moorhead—A lone Beaver has

A laborers were unable to accomplish—build a dam in the
Felton trout stream that didn't
leak, according to R. E. Streich.
game warden. Streich reported
that he had placed three more
beaver at the north end of the
stream to keep company with the
single male that had done such a
fine job in only three weeks. The
lone beaver constructed a dam
across the stream, three feet
high, which has effectively held
back the water despite a width
of only eight or ten inches. Not
only that, but the industrious
animal apparently feeling sorry
for his weak human brothers,
has repaired a dam which the
FERA workers built and which
had sprung a leak. Carrying
gum-like mud and little sticks,
the beaver stopped up little
cracks between the rocks and the
dam is now water-tight. The
narrow dam built by the beavei
does better work than the one
built by the men with rocks,
planks and other heavy materials, the game warden stated.

ACCIDENT AT HI-
WAY INN CORNER
Another accident occurred at
the Hi-Way Inn corner, early
Thursday morning, when Leonard Olson, living SW. of Pine
River, owner of the car and a
friend of his who was driving
turned over on the curve. It
seems that the young man that
was driving the car was more or
less unfamiliar with the road
*and came along at pretty good
speed and just didn't make the
turn. They turned over several
times completely demolishing
the car. A truck driver played
the role of "good Samaritan," releasing the young men from underneath the car. Fortunately
neither of the young men were
seriously hurt.

Oh how I wish twas mine.

WPA RULE FAVORS
PRIVATE EMPLOY']
Relief Workers can now -Accept|
Work From Private Employers And Return to Relief Rolls
Jobs had replaced direct relief J
for nearly 11,000 men and women
in Minnesota this week   as   Vic- [
tor Christgau, state WPA administrator, pushed plans   to   have I
60,000 needy unemployed at work
by November 1st.   Federal funds
totaling $7,200,000   have   been
authorized' to date for the state's
public work progam.
Two important announcements
came from the state WPA administrator during the week, the
first in which he assured workers that temporary private employment which took them off
relief rolls will not prevent them
from securing WPA jobs.
He said the status of persons
on, relief as of May, regardless of
whether they have had private
employment since or will have
in the future, is not changed insofar as the Works Progress Administration is concerned.
The regulation regarding new
applicants for relief remains unchanged. Relief needs since the
May rolls were compiled, require
that the person must be certified
by the county as being eligible
for aid 30 days before assignment to a WPA job.
In his second announcement,
Mr. Christgau stated that workmen in the employ of the works
Progress administration will be
available for hire by private employers at any time.
In answer to inquiries as to the
possibility Of a shortage of certain kinds of labor when the
state-wide program gets fully under way, he said, "the services
of any PWA worker are available to private employers at any
time merely by placing a request
for such services with the
National Reemployment service
which will negotiate with thePW
A for an immediate transfer.
He declared that "WPA was
set up to cooperate with private
industry by employing men and
women only until there are places for them in private industry.
We intend to see that those on
our rolls are given every opportunity to accept private employment, even if it is only a few
days work."
It will be to the individuals'
advantage to accept private
work, even if it is only temporary, he explained, because the
worker can be reinstated with
WPA immediately and without
formalities as soon as the private job ends.
Assured of immediate reinstatement, no worker is going to
refuse a job with private industry paying the prevailing wage
because WPA wages will remain
on the somewhat lower security
basis as defined by the act of
congress, said Mr. Christgau.
