Kaukauna Times

September 4, 1935
Clayton Bries, Wrightstown singing cowboy, was
selected as one of the winners of the WLS community talent barn dance show
which was staged at the West High School auditorium in Green Bay.
Representatives of the FHA were in Kaukauna
Friday interviewing people interested in building new homes under the Federal
Housing Administration. The program will include four, five and six room houses
in the price range of $3,000 to $3,500. It is believed that about 25 homes will
be built in the city under the program.
Classes at the Kaukauna Vocational school
opened today under the direction of Wm. T. Sullivan, director. Enrollment this
year is expected to surpass that of a year ago due to a new law which requires
all people under 18 years of age, who have not graduated from high school and
who are unemployed, to go to school full-time.
Citizens of Kaukauna are proud of the new civic
auditorium and gymnasium which were constructed this year as additions to the
present Kaukauna High School.
Workmen late last week completed the
installation of the neon signs on the city water reservoir which is on the lot
adjacent to the Outagamie Rural Noral School. One sign has been erected on the
north side of the tower and one on the south side and both read “Kaukauna.” The
signs are lit red and can be seen for miles around.

The Fox River again took its toll of another life
this week, claiming as its victim John Verheyen, 41, of De Pere, who drowned
Monday morning while making a brave attempt to save his little son Cornelius.
The accident occurred while the father and two sons were fishing with a group
of relatives when Cornelius fell into the water. His father jumped into the
water but was unable to swim and sank. The boy was hauled safely to shore.
The farm home of Joseph “Polly” Leher, situated
on Hwy 55 just south of the city limits was raided by five federal agents at
about 5 o’clock Thursday evening. They reported that no alcohol was found on
the premises. Mr. Lehrer, who operates the farm, invited the agents to stay for
supper, and they accepted. Following their meal they continued on their way.

At a special meeting of the common council
Friday evening, Mayor John H. Niesen announced the appointment of Harry F.
McAndrews to the position of city attorney for Kaukauna.
Clarence Van Gomple, Little Chute, paid a fine
of $5 and costs in city court Monday after being arrested here on a reckless
driving charge. Police reports Van Gomple was driving a car that almost hit
three girls on the corner of Taylor Street. Van Gomple had no driver’s license
and was driving the car with one arm around a woman companion.
