Former Local Man
Wed in Grand Forks
]' Helga McOullough of East
Grand Forks and John L. Lewis of
Grand Forks, were married July 7
in the United Lutheran church in
Grand Forks, according to word re-
ceived here.
The Rev. Alvin Stenberg officiat-
ed and the attendants were Mrs. El-
lis Larson and Glen McCullough,
daughter and son of the bride.
Mr. and Mrs. Lewis are living at
1809 Second Avenue, north in Grand
Forks.
Mr. Lewis is a former Park River
resident and has a number of rel-
atives in this community.
the last time in Park River yester-
day (Wednesday), according to an
announcement by a spokesman for
the Park River Commercial Club.
It is o be replaced, however, by a
new set-up labeled 'Market Day',
which will be initiated next Wed-
nesday, September 5.
Registration started earlier this
week for the new proposed draw-
ing, with individuals being instruct-
ed to sign up only ONCE. The
reason for this limitation, stated
1 K. Bork, committeeman, is that
each person's name is recorded in
a master register book, alphabeti-
cally, and assigned a code letter
and number. A separate slip or
card will then be marked with the
registrant's code letter and number
Father and Son
Accident Victims
Carl Olson, local contractor, and
his son, Morgan, 21, are patients at
St. Ansgar's hospital here where
they are being treated for injuries
sustained in separate accidents in
which they figured recently.
First to enter the hospital was the
elder Mr. Olson. who suffered sev-
ere burns about the face, neck,
chest and hands while burning rub-
bish at his home in the city. In
order to hasten the igniting of some
tree branches in the incinerator, he
poured gasoline on them from a
coffee can. The can caught fire,
sending the flames into his face.
The accident occurred August" 17
sheet.
The Market Day award will be
$75.00 the first week, increasing
$25.00 each week, should there not
be a winner. Bork said that the
payment will be in script money.
The new Market Day will differ
to a large degree from the out-
going Appreciation Day, but prob-
ably the most noticeable change
will be in the drawing and an-
nouncement of the winner. Under
the approaching set-up, the Market
Day committee will make the draw-
ing on the Monday or Tuesday pre-
ceding Market Day. They then will
notify radio station KNOX. Grand
Fork of the name and address of
the award winner. The name and
address will then be announced
over radio station KNOX at 3:30
on Wednesday afternoon repeat-
ing the name and address for
clarity.
Bork emphasized that the award
wmner must be in one of the par-
ticipating stores at the time the
radio announcement is made. There
will be a 30 second grace period,
but if the winner does not present
himself to the proprietor in that
time. the award will increase $25.00
for the following week.
The reason for the switch from
the 8-year-old Appreciation Day
drawing was that many of the
merchants were dissatisfied with
the decreasing number of subscrib-
ers. Under the old plan, all business
places in the city derived the same
benefit from-the weekly prize draw-
ing, regardless of whether or not

Former Local Man
Wed in Grand Forks
]' Helga McOullough of East
Grand Forks and John L. Lewis of
Grand Forks, were married July 7
in the United Lutheran church in
Grand Forks, according to word re-
ceived here.
The Rev. Alvin Stenberg officiat-
ed and the attendants were Mrs. El-
lis Larson and Glen McCullough,
daughter and son of the bride.
Mr. and Mrs. Lewis are living at
1809 Second Avenue, north in Grand
Forks.
Mr. Lewis is a former Park River
resident and has a number of rel-
atives in this community.
the last time in Park River yester-
day (Wednesday), according to an
announcement by a spokesman for
the Park River Commercial Club.
It is o be replaced, however, by a
new set-up labeled 'Market Day',
which will be initiated next Wed-
nesday, September 5.
Registration started earlier this
week for the new proposed draw-
ing, with individuals being instruct-
ed to sign up only ONCE. The
reason for this limitation, stated
1 K. Bork, committeeman, is that
each person's name is recorded in
a master register book, alphabeti-
cally, and assigned a code letter
and number. A separate slip or
card will then be marked with the
registrant's code letter and number
Father and Son
Accident Victims
Carl Olson, local contractor, and
his son, Morgan, 21, are patients at
St. Ansgar's hospital here where
they are being treated for injuries
sustained in separate accidents in
which they figured recently.
First to enter the hospital was the
elder Mr. Olson. who suffered sev-
ere burns about the face, neck,
chest and hands while burning rub-
bish at his home in the city. In
order to hasten the igniting of some
tree branches in the incinerator, he
poured gasoline on them from a
coffee can. The can caught fire,
sending the flames into his face.
The accident occurred August" 17
sheet.
The Market Day award will be
$75.00 the first week, increasing
$25.00 each week, should there not
be a winner. Bork said that the
payment will be in script money.
The new Market Day will differ
to a large degree from the out-
going Appreciation Day, but prob-
ably the most noticeable change
will be in the drawing and an-
nouncement of the winner. Under
the approaching set-up, the Market
Day committee will make the draw-
ing on the Monday or Tuesday pre-
ceding Market Day. They then will
notify radio station KNOX. Grand
Fork of the name and address of
the award winner. The name and
address will then be announced
over radio station KNOX at 3:30
on Wednesday afternoon repeat-
ing the name and address for
clarity.
Bork emphasized that the award
wmner must be in one of the par-
ticipating stores at the time the
radio announcement is made. There
will be a 30 second grace period,
but if the winner does not present
himself to the proprietor in that
time. the award will increase $25.00
for the following week.
The reason for the switch from
the 8-year-old Appreciation Day
drawing was that many of the
merchants were dissatisfied with
the decreasing number of subscrib-
ers. Under the old plan, all business
places in the city derived the same
benefit from-the weekly prize draw-
ing, regardless of whether or not
