Kaukauna Times - August 1951
By Lyle Hansen
August 1, 1951
Fast thinking on the part of James Jaeckels a part-time lifeguard saved David Pankratz, 8, from possible serious injury at the Kaukauna municipal swimming pool recently. When diving from the high board he struck his head on the side of the pool. Jaeckels plunged into the pool and pulled the boy to safety. The youth required stiches and had knocked several teeth loose.
Private David Stuiber arrived home Friday morning to spend a 13-day furlough with his parents on Whitney Street. He was stationed at Camp Gordan, Ga.
Smooth-swinging Bob Derus set his
charmed golf clubs to motion Sunday and sailed through to a well-earned 6 and 5
victory in 30 holes over Dick Quella to become the 1951 President’s Cup
champion at the Fox Valley Golf Club.

Private First-Class Carl Spindler who has been
stationed at the Scott Air Force Base, Belleville, Ill., is spending an 8-day

Corporal Donald Sheehy of Brother Street, a
veteran of combat duty at the age of 20 returned to his home in Kaukauna
Wednesday after a year’s service on the front lines in Korea. This is his
first-time home in two years.
The South Siders will be hoping to make it three in a row as they clash with their North Side rivals Tuesday morning in the Kaukauna recreational department fourth annual Junior Olympics at the library grounds. While bowing in 1948, the “rebels” retuned in 1949 and 1950 to slaughter “dem Yankees” by wide margins.

“Honesty is the best policy”, in the opinion of
Danny Sachs, a newspaper carrier boy. The Kaukauna Times carrier was peddling
his route Friday morning, when he saw a $20 bill lying in the yard near a
customer’s home. He brought the bill to the home to seek the owner. When the
elderly lady appeared, he showed her the money and asked if she had lost it,
she said no but to check with the couple in the next apartment. That call
turned out to be a happy one for the couple as they had lost the $20 that
evening. They presented the boy with a reward.

travel.
