Safest hours are between 3 and 6 a.m. Goetsch’s report also pointed out officers’ duties, including providing escorts for funeral processions, moving buildings and getting blood to the hospitals.
Riverside: The Riverside 4-H meeting was called to order by Ken Draves. Karen Koss spoke on the care of a beef calf and Glen Kolmorgen gave the speech “Who’s Going to Control Farming?” Russell Schuster and Bill Schley will give speeches at the next meeting.

Town of Ahnapee: Henry Havel informs us his enlisted son Frank arrived in France and wrote describing old-fashioned methods used there, especially by farmers.
Countywide: The War Department informs parents of soldiers of a new swindle. A telegram says the soldier has a furlough and requests funds by wire so he can make it home. Many are falling prey to the scheme.
