The pool, which is located in

The shallow end of the pool has a
depth of two feet, while the oppo-

A two-thirds majority of all
ballots cast were needed to carry

The Farmers Union in North

A general discussion on operat-

up was held with A. M. Challey, of
NDAC Fargo, district extension
supervisor and Orville Jacobson
also of Fargo, administration assis-
tant, taking part.
The extension program in Walsh
County is carried on through the
Walsh County School at a total
cost of $8,000 a year. Work of the
program has increased considerab-
ly and operation expenses are also
higher, necessitating the need of
an additional $2,000 per year.
In other counties, extenaonwork
is under the direct jurisdiction of
the county commissioners and is
maintained out of funds raised by
the 13 mill levy assessed for coun-
ty expense.
Wa;s and means of raising this
ded revenue were discussed pro
al con by the group which final-
ly voted to put the question of fi-
nancing extension work in Walsh
county up to the people by giving
them an opportunity to vote on it
at the November election•
The same committee was reap-
pointed by Chairman Gudjates,
with the provision that others may
be drafted to work on the project.

KENNEYS RETURN FROM
EXTENSIVE VACATION
The J. C. Kenney family return-
ed Sunday from a five weeks' va-
cation trip to California and to
Hawaii.
• En route to San Diego, camping
stops were made in Yellowstone
National Park, the Tetons and Salt
Lake City. From Reno. Nev., Mr.
Kenney went on to Bakersfield,
Calif., the center of the potato ac-
tivity in Kern county, while the re-
mainder of the family visited Vir-
ginia City, Nev., Lake Tahoe and
Yosemite National Park. A day at
Disneyland climaxed the week's
trip.
While the Kenney young folks,
Virginia, Bill and Larry, vacation-
ed with relatives in S,n Diego, Mr.
and Mrs. Kermey went by plane to
Honolulu to spend ten days with
Lt. Col. and Mrs. D. W. Sherman,
the latter being sister of Mr.
Kenney.

impressive is the racial integration,
with people of all races, color and
creeds living in harmony with
one another, the Park Riverites
observed• They were interested to
note that the Islanders consider
themselves as Americans and re-
fer to the United States as the

The Kenneys returned on the S.
S. Lurline, which takes four and a
half days for the 2.400-mile trip as
compared with ten hours by air.
After being met in Los Angeles
by their family, the Kenneys re-
turned to San Diego before leav-
ing for home. Stops en route to
North Dakota were made at Mesa
Verde National Park, Colorado
Springs and in the Black Hills.
They report that. though they
drove through many well-known

which are irrigated, nowhere did
they see crops to compare with
those right here in Walsh county.

of planning, fund raising and con-

been known as the Park River
Community Swimming Pool and
the organizational meeting was
held March 28, 1955. Roland Bate-
man was elected president of the
group with Fred Silliman, serving
as secretary.
The pool, which is located in
River park. across from the Power
house, measures 35 feet x 82% feet.
The shallow end of the pool has a
depth of two feet, while the oppo-
site end is graded down to nine
feet for diving. Two fiberglass
diving boards have been ordered
for the pool, one being a three-
meter board and the other a one-
meter board. They have not yet

controls on the production and
marketing of the 1957 crop.
Only 34 opposing ballots were
cast in the county at the refendum
which was held Friday. A total of
2,319 voters favored the supports.
A two-thirds majority of all
ballots cast were needed to carry
the measure.
The Farmers Union in North
Dakota waged a pubilicity cam-
paign urging a "yes" vote just pre-
vious to the referendum.
The level at which the 1957 crop
will be supported by the govern-
ment depended on the outcome of
the referendum. Under quotas, the
support rate would be a national
..... -e of $2 a bushel which is
(v ' .
about 82.5 per cent of pamty and
the same as this year.

A general discussion on operat-

up was held with A. M. Challey, of
NDAC Fargo, district extension
supervisor and Orville Jacobson
also of Fargo, administration assis-
tant, taking part.
The extension program in Walsh
County is carried on through the
Walsh County School at a total
cost of $8,000 a year. Work of the
program has increased considerab-
ly and operation expenses are also
higher, necessitating the need of
an additional $2,000 per year.
In other counties, extenaonwork
is under the direct jurisdiction of
the county commissioners and is
maintained out of funds raised by
the 13 mill levy assessed for coun-
ty expense.
Wa;s and means of raising this
ded revenue were discussed pro
al con by the group which final-
ly voted to put the question of fi-
nancing extension work in Walsh
county up to the people by giving
them an opportunity to vote on it
at the November election•
The same committee was reap-
pointed by Chairman Gudjates,
with the provision that others may
be drafted to work on the project.
