Kaukauna and its Savings
and Loan association were saluted by a group of representatives of national and
statewide financial organizations at the celebration of the open house for the
new association building on 2nd Street over the weekend. H. Merle
Smith, staff vice president and director of field service of the United States Savings
and Loan league told the assembly that the new building was a great community
asset of which all Kaukauna would be proud. He stated the first time I came from
Chicago to visit Kaukauna, the office looked as if the shoe store had just
moved out. Today I am charmed off my feet. I’ve never seen so much done so well
in the amount of space available.

Are you a wacky walker? Because so many people
are, the National Safety Council called on pedestrians today to stop walking
themselves to death - especially during December, when pedestrian deaths are
high. Last year 8200 pedestrians were killed by motor vehicles, the Council
said and in many of these accidents the driver of the car was not at fault.
Often at night the driver of the car traveling at a low speed cannot see the
pedestrian in time to avoid hitting him.

The Kaukauna Klubber baseball team hit its
stride about halfway through the 1955 season managing to cop the second half
championship. The Little Chute Dutchman wound up on top of the first half of
the season and in a two out of three play-off at the very bitter end of the
season managed to defeat the Klubbers as the 1956 champions of the loop. The
discontinuance of baseball in Kimberly accompanied by the addition of a couple
of KHS coaches contributed substantially to Kaukauna's being the top contender
on the Fox Valley loop diamonds this year. From Kimberly came Elmer Kobs one of
the top first baseman and heaviest hitters in the loop, Jim Nirschl, another
heavy hitter and very competent centerfielder and Ken VanderVelden, ace third
baseman. The remnants of the high school state baseball championship team were
also around to help. Some the lads were Joe Van Linn, Gene Wittman, Bill
Lappen, Tom Hilgenberg, Dick Yeager and Tom Nytes.
