Residents of Kaukauna who call the fire
department here for aid should be careful to give the correct address and
location of the fire. Several excited persons failed recently to give the
correct address of the fire when calling the department. One person gave her
phone number as the house number. When calling stay calm as possible under the
circumstances and give the correct information.

Reports from St. Mary’s College, California,
state that Marv Miller and “String” Landreman, both former Kaukauna High School
athletic stars of last year, are going good, both scholastically and
athletically, although both have been handicapped by sickness and injuries.
Landreman was going good at center during the early part of the basketball
season this year when he broke his shoulder forcing him out of the competition
for now. Miller played in nearly every game of the frosh squad throughout the
season at the quarterback position.
“Lodgers” are not few at the local jail this
time of the year. Many “Knight of the Road” taking advantage of the police
department’s hospitality to gain a good night’s lodging at the “Hoosegow”.
