Dear Mr. Wynn: I have lost all my money and am broke. A fortune teller told me that when my shoes wear out, I will be on my feet again. Do you believe it?

Ans: Yes, I do.

 

Mrs. Elizabeth Bertholmey of Appleton, 33-year-old mother who drowned her two children, James and Carol, in the Fox river on August 31 was found not guilty of murder Monday by reason of insanity at the time the acts were committed.

 

With the basketball floor laid and the balcony seats built, workmen are now busily installing equipment in the high school gymnasium. 6 baskets will be erected for basketball, and the floor will be marked so that two games can be played at the same time. Punching bags and a movable boxing ring will be installed.

Dora Mae, three-year-old Daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Irvin Weber, Whitney St. was seriously injured in an unusual accident at her home here while playing with a coat hanger she had the misfortune to fall, and the object was driven down her throat causing serious injury. Two physicians were called with the difficulty involving in removing the object. She is now convalescing at home.


Holy Cross added another win to its string of victories as it easily defeated St. John's grade school team of Green Bay here last Sunday 21 to 0. The Bay offense failed to click against the strong Holy Cross line, and they resorted to passes, most of which were futile. Promer was again the spearhead of Holy Cross attack, scoring 3 times twice in short plunges and once on an intercepted pass.

Promer Scored two touchdowns, one from 40 yards and the other after intercepting a pass. He also threw too long passes to F. Biselx and Noie for two more touchdowns.

 

 

“I don't know how I could ever get along without my regular copy of the Kaukauna Times,” were the words of Mrs. J. Edgell, when she stopped at the Times office Saturday morning to pay her subscription for another year. She stated that she had been taking the Times for more than 50 years and added that she enjoys each issue very much, “I have been taking this paper since Charlie Raught was a boy.” Mrs. Edgell concluded.

Dear Mr. Wynn:

I have trouble keeping my silverware clean. They say that whiskey is the best polisher of silver, how is it used?

Ans: Just drink the whiskey and blow on the silver.
