ST. PETER, MINNESOTA—Gustavus Adolphus College girls who
are planning to work on farms this summer and Fred Arneman,
chairman of the Nicollet County War Board, took time off to look
over the Farm Building Research Project being conducted here by
the “Business of Farming” magazine, to show how Gyplap helps meet
the current lumber shortage. Mr. Arneman is shown explaining to
Myrtle Johnson, Lorraine Rule, Mavis McClure and Madelyn Hassarud
how this new gypsum board is sealed to make it weatherproof. The
Government is urging increased farm production, which requires addi-
tional farm buildings and new materials of this type are needed to
meet the emergency.

Members of the entertain-
ment committee of the Fyr
Fyters met Wednesday night
and furthered plans for provid-
ing the public with plenty to
eat and drink, and different
forms of amusement to keep
them entertained.
It was decided that five hun-
dred half-chicken dinners, with
plenty of stew and sandwiches,
would take care of the crowd
always present at the frolic.
John Ripple, who has for sev-
eral years been at the head of
the barbecued chicken set-up,
is again in charge.
For the fifth time in a little
more than five years death
stalked the highway here at
the Katy intersection with
Highway 36 about two blocks
from the heart of Sealy. This
fifth tragedy came in the early
hours of Sunday morning when
Robert Davis was killed almost
instantly as his car collided
with a moving freight train.
This makes five fatalities
from collisions at this point and
there is another victim, not kill-
ed but maimed for life. Des-
pite signal lights and the warn-
ing gong, there must be a dif-
ficulty in seeing the blocked
passage as repeated accidents
indicate. There was a plan for
an underpass at this point some
years ago, but there were diffi-

Make Meeting Called
Last Monday Night
There were ten out of forty-
three air raid wardens attend-
ing the meeting called last Mon-
day night by R. W. Hintz, senior
warden.
At this meeting there were
thirteen vacancies noted. New
wardens were named to take
their places as follows: H.
Loehr, August Meier, Hy.
Hluchan, Alvin Muery, Floyd
Elkins, W. B. Johnston, C. C.
Burger, Paul Fletcher, Frank
The volunteers who helped in
the surgical dressings branch of
the Red Cross from Wednes-
day, June 9, through Monday,
June 14, were Mesdames R. H.

The Tuesday night work
hours have been changed to
Wednesday morning from 9:30
to 11:30 in the hope of getting
more response in this work.
The surgical unit has a number
of faithful workers and it is
believed that if more ladies and

the importance of this work
more would make sacrifices to
help. Afternoon sessions are
held every Monday, Wednesday
and Friday from 2:30 to 5:30.

MISS NETTIE M. GOEBEL
ILL WITH PNEUMONIA
IN HOUSTON HOSPITAL
Miss Nettie Marie Goebel was
taken seriously ill with pneu-
monia Saturday and was taken
to the Methodist Hospital in
Houston. She collapsed while at
work at the South Texas Feed
Co.
Miss Goebel’s parents, Mr.
and Mrs. Oscar Goebel, were
called twice to be with their
daughter.
It is with more than ordinary
satisfaction that the Sealy
News on checking its record of
new subscriptions for March,
April and May to find that the
number for those three months,
91 days, totals 101 new read-
ers.
Taking it’s own bow, the
News force remarked one to the
other, “Not bad, not bad at
all.”
In January and February 71
new readers were, taken. Add-
ing this to the recent check up,
the total for 1943, 151 days, is
171 new subscribers so far this
year.
Renewals of subscriptions,
old friends and readers, for the
first five months total 352.
That makes 523 individuals
culties and hazards enough
pointed out to stop the project.
Davis, a resident of Sealy for
the last several months, was
killed when his car struck a
moving freight train. The ac-
cident occurred shortly after
midnight as he was coming to-
ward town. He sustained a
broken neck, skull fractures,
broken legs and a crushed
chest, which resulted in death
shortly following the accident.
The car was demolished, the
front part being completely
smashed. It had skidded for a
considerable distance as the
driver had attempted to stop
and it struck the sixth box car
from the caboose.
Mr. Davis was employed in
the recycling plant at Katy. He
was a likable person and had
made many friends here.
C. M. Davis, father of the ill-
fated young man, Chas. Davis,
a brother, and Jack Garner,
brother-in-law, arrived here in
the early hours of Sunday af-
ternoon and took charge of the
situation. Preibisch funeral
home prepared the body for
shipment and the remains were
shipped to Donna Sunday after-
noon. A large delegation of
friends of the young man paid
a tribute to him in accompany-
ing his remains to the station.
A great number of lovely floral
offerings from friends here ac-
companied the remains to its
last resting place.
Funeral services were held at
Donna Monday afternoon.
Mr. Davis, 32, is a native of
Mississippi, and he moved with
his parents to Texas in 1926,

lower than the rate set last
