Serving Algoma, Casco, Kewaunee, Luxemburg and all of Kewaunee County
Algoma: Algoma Plywood and Veneer Co. did much of the experimental work for Evergrain, a new, clean, brilliant finish which shows the beauty of wood to the fullest extent. The finish is far superior to paints, varnishes and lacquers and requires minimal maintenance.
Clyde: The Progress Homemakers Club held its January meeting at the home of Lorraine Kasmerchek who presented “Fix It” with Magdalen Opicka. Roll call was answered with the name of a household tool.
Kewaunee: School Superintendent Arnold Chada reported that 4,729 students are enrolled in county schools over which the county has jurisdiction. Kewaunee, Casco and Luxemburg high schools are union high schools and are included in the total. Algoma city system has a superintendent and, except for special education, Algoma students are not included in the numbers.
Countywide: Public sale of canned and frozen fruits and vegetables is curtailed as rationing begins March 1. Registration for the ration books begins in the county public grade schools and will be handled by the teachers and school district clerk.
Town of Carlton: Kewaunee County war volunteer homemaker leaders are meeting at the school to learn the latest cookery methods. New meat recipes dealing with meat rationing are being distributed.
Countywide: The County Farm Machinery Rationing Committee issued purchasing permits for new farm machinery. Otto Keup got a manure spreader permit while Joe Annoye and Ed Janda got wire fencing. Edward Ripley, Allen Baumgartner and Fred McCosky got permits for milk cans and covers.
Bolt: The ladies of the Stangelville branch of the Red Cross Chapter are completing countless articles including wristlets, scarves and socks to be sent to the men in service for World War I.
Casco: The Algoma basketball team was victorious as usual and beat the local boys, 36-26. But, Casco’s junior boys saw to it that the Algoma junior team left with a sadder heart than when they came.
Algoma: Shovel Tag Day was observed at the Algoma school. Each scholar was asked to write an impromptu essay on either why or how to save coal. The program included readings of the best essays, patriotic recitations and songs. Prominent local businessmen brought coal shovels to be tagged by the scholars whose essays were judged best.
Town of Ahnapee: $4,000, plus interest, was paid on the $7,500 railroad bonds. Within a year, the town expected to pay the balance in full. Being in such a prosperous condition, the town’s farmers think it is best to pay their obligations while basking in the smiles of Dame Fortune.
Bruemmerville: H. Bruemmer & Co., proprietors of the flour mill, recently shipped several carloads of product and have orders for future delivery. Reports are that in spring, the company plans to build a saloon near the mills and Rudolf Bruemmer will run it. The paper, however, is unable to verify these facts.
