Late- (very late-) breaking news
By David Larson
for The Press
PARK RIVER, N.D. -- The city high school did much better on state
exams in 1913. The passing rate in 1912 was 55.4%; last year it rose
to 77.9%. In the second grade, "Holland, the land of windmills" has
been the language study of the month. Their memory poem was "The
Night Wind" by Eugene Field. There were 14 sixth graders who were
neither tardy nor late, among them Ted Eyolfson and Thora Hanson
(Knutson).
Despite the seniors' good performance on exams, Superintendent
Magnus Aygarn is still on the way out. The public is taking a strong
stand for the superintendent, circulating another petition for retaining
him--it is getting even more signatures than the first. By mid-month
217 people had signed the petition. Rev. Bjerke of the Lutheran Church
addressed the board on behalf of the 150 men and women in the au-
dience. The newspaper made no mention of the tone of the meeting,
but it must have been spirited if three ministers publically questioned
the school board about its complaints concerning Supt. Aygarn, and the
board simply and repeatedly reported that it just thought they could get
a more qualified man for the position. At one point senior student Thur-
man Thompson spoke "and hurled some rhetorical shafts at members
of the board," for which he was rebuked by the board chairman. Board
members would not even answer a direct question from Andrew Walk-
er whether they had ever visited the school when it was in session. Af-
ter all was said and done, the board declined, again, to review its decision
... March, 1914
to terminate the Supt's. contract.
At the end of the month Supt. Aygarn advertised his house for sale--
A nine-room residence on Briggs Avenue, six lots, barn on premises, fine
lawn and orchard.
The city council met early in the month. Among other pieces of in-
formation from the meeting: The city power plant purchased 100 tons of
coal; The city spent $198.83 for support of the poor (roughly half of what
the city spent on the public library.); power plant superintendent
Mullineaux has installed a telephone at home so patrons can contact him.
In addition City Engineer Lykken said that plans for the city sewer sys-
tem were complete. As the plans now stand, there will be four feeder lines,
running east and west along the avenues (Briggs, Code, Harris, Wadge).
The main line will nan east and west along Vivian Street, hitting Briggs
between AH Walker's and Lawyer Young's properties. It will then con-
tinue east through Dr. Church's yard until it reaches the coulee bed. From
that point it will follow the coulee bed until it reaches the river, where it
will discharge. The assessment for the main line will amount to about $7.00
for each 25' lot in the city.
The Commercial Club is determined to have a good baseball team this
year. They already have applications from several good ball players.
Gus Mastre announces that "having bought a gas tractor, I will sell"
my horses. All 11 of them, plus a colt, will be auctioned off.
Supt. Broyles of the agricultural school received an inquiry from Eden-
ton, North Carolina. Edenton will also build a Farm Life County School.
There is a real coincidence: the Edenton school, like WCAS, will be built
in the middle of a half-mile racetrack.

healthcare facilities funded this biennium. The project is administered by
the Noah Dakota Department of Health.
Out of pocket costs for screening colonoscopies is one of the primary
reasons North Dakotans do not receive this life saving procedure. The goal
of this project is to assist in reducing colorectal cancer screening barri-
ers among the uninsured and underinsured by providing a total of 250
screening colonoscopies at no cost.
"Colorectal cancer is the third-leading cause of cancer incidence and
cancer death in Noah Dakota - but it doesn't have to be," Louise Dry-
burgh, CEO said. "Although research has shown that colorectal cancer
screening for p, .ple 50 and older can significantly reduce cancer deaths,
we see North Dakota's screening rates are below the national average.
However, Noah Dakota is above the national average for colorectal can-
cer incidence and deaths according to the National Institute of Cancer. We
can help turn this trend around by making screening more accessible to
those who may not otherwise have the test done."
Colorectal cancer is preventable, treatable and beatable. Not only can
cancer be detected early with a colonoscopy, it can be prevented by re-
the 2014 season

tiative will help us save lives," said Louise Dryburgh, CEO.

• Have a reported income at or below 200 percent of poverty
• Have no health insurance or have health insurance with co-payments
