Your Undivided Attention is Required While Driving Everyone has seen motorists who are so involved in conversations with passengers, talking on cellular phones, changing a tape or CD, or flipping through the channels in search of a radio station that they weave back and forth in their lane for blocks.

“Be an alert and attentive driver when behind the wheel,” says Captain Marsha Wiley of the Wisconsin State Patrol’s district 6 office in Eau Claire. “This means being aware of your surroundings and changing situations. Give your full undivided attention to the roadway.”

City Crime: Car Egging.

On Monday, March 26, at 9:50 p.m., a Stanley man reported his vehicle was “egged” while parked at a local gas station. He took his vehicle to the car wash immediately and washed off the egg. Two subjects were suspect in the “egging.” One of them paid restitution to the man for the car wash.

50 Years Ago April 15, 1971 Joe Fazendin Speaks in, “Scooting Around Stanely with Joe” Well, the big basketball game is finally here. This Friday night the Red Heads will invade the Stanley-Boyd gym to play the Cloverbelt coaches. It should prove to be an interesting evening of entertainment, so why not plan on attending?

• • Tonight the Stanley Commercial Club will hold their regular monthly meeting. The meeting will be held at Liazuk’s Meeting time will be at 7:00 p.m.

• • If you plan, or have taken a Polaroid picture that you want in the paper, I stress the point of waxing the picture after it is taken. The past two weeks we have received pictures that have had scratches on them, and unfortunately, there is nothing we can do to take them out. So naturally, they show up in the picture. Waxing will prevent scratching and will not hurt the picture.

Gilman Theatre 60 Years Ago April 6, 1961 Ralph Bloom Speaks in, ‘IT SAYS HERE’

• What is a forbiseder? Or, more specifically, what is a forbiseder with a built-in Hemingway, which can be operated either right or left-handed?

• That’s what a lot of Stanley Republican readers wanted to know last week, after reading a classified ad which offered a forbiseder, worth $250, for $25 because of leaving town.

• Well, as several of our callers suspected, it was a gag…a hoax, if you will, perpetrated by the management of the Republican to find out if anyone reads the classified advertising section. They do.

• One lady called and wanted to know how come the forbiseder was being sold so cheap. A gentleman called and asked what use could be made of a forbiseder. And so on.

• Most people weren’t too sure what the article being offered was, but since it was such a bargain they decided to call in and find out so as not to miss out on a good buy!

• Thanks, gentle readers, for calling in. We hope we didn’t embarrass any of you. But we wanted to find out a little something about readership of the classified ads, and pretty well accomplished our purpose.

• The forbiseder? There ain’t no such animal!

• Words of wisdom…if the grass looks greener on the other side of the fence, chances are the water bill is higher, too.

ORANGE AND BLACK A weekly column written and edited by high school students for high school students, parents and interested citizens. All letters pertaining to this column should be addressed to the editor, Orange and Black, in care of Stanley High School.

Editor-in-Chief – Janice Witt Assistant Editor – Dorothy Western Senior Editor – Melvina Berdal Junior Editor – Dorothy Seidling Sophomore Editor – Pamela Jankoski Book Worms At Work Last Monday I happened to see Mrs. Bolon coming my way, so I stopped her and asked her what kind of work she was promoting in her classes now. Here is the general idea of what is expected of her students.

Miss Borge and Mrs. Bolon have selected books of intelligent rating with cultural value in them to be read by her various classes. Each student is required to read at least one book and later give a book review of its good and not so good characteristics. Round table discussions are presented for the benefit of finding what the people would like most of the book.

Last Wednesday these people had the opportunity to hear Miss Faith Oemig give a book review of “Whale Hunt.”

For those who like to read this is an excellent opportunity for a larger range of books. For those who don’t like books, well—it’s educational.

—Jan Seen in the high school Editoral:”… I have an inkling that even the teachers have an urge to skip sometimes (for good spring days).

The students have already been warned beforehand that if they are caught skipping, the situation is not going to be very pleasant for them.

Some of you may be Eager Beavers who have no desire to leave school but for the rest of you, all I can say is, “Stop, Look and Listen” before making an exit.

Mr. and Mrs. Ole Sween of Gilman spent Sunday at the home of Mrs. Sween’s mother, Mrs. Mary Munth.

Miss Blanche Nicholson of Chicago spent several days last week at the home of her mother, Mrs. Laura Nicholson.

Miss Lena Vollmer, who teaches in Minneapolis, is spending her Easter vacation at the homne of Dr. and Mrs. S. F. Webert.

D. D. Halterman and John Cotignala of Chicago, spent the weekend with the former’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. E. F. Halterman.

90 Years Ago April 10. 1931 FLIVVERING WITH HARRY By Harry Manley Land is moving again, or farms. Hans Sorenson purchased the John Krohn 80, west of Brownville last week. Ed Smoczyk purchased 80 acres of land from the Big Four Canning Co., lying northwest of Moon Park, and will erect buildings shortly.

Otto Friedmund, proprietor of the White Way cheese factory showed me some Colby curds which he had sealed up in fruit jars to age. He said that is sure developed an excellent, aged and nippy flavor after several months to a year in jars.

Met Al Wry patrolling his beat in Worden and he said he’d milked 16 cows all winter, 12 of them fresh and had barely made a living. What is the condition of many farmers with poor herds, poor hay and higher expenses with bills or notes to meet, he asked. Evidently not all of the trouble is confined to the cities. Farmers, he thought, wouldn’t complain if their losses or low prices were passed over to the city consumer and not absorbed by the middleman.

Met a filling station attendant from Stanley, recently, out on a collecting trip. How much easier it would be if he’d display a station sign, well something like this: I’ll crank your car, Or I’ll hold your baby; But I sell for cash, And I don’t mean maybe.

100 Years Ago April 8, 1921 Volume XXVII, Number (unclear) STANLEY DECLARES FOR KEEPING THE BAND Burgduff Elected School Commissioner; Murphy, Olson and Knar Win Only about four hundred votes were cast in Stanley on Tuesday, which is probably about half the number of qualified voters in the city. One reason for this was that there were very few contests for the various offices and those who were contesting made little effort to get out the vote. The women were well represented at the polls, nearly as many women voting as men. The presence of women at all the polling places in the capacity of election clerks had a decidedly refining effect on the atmosphere and the old-time election booth, dense with stale tobacco smoke, floor littered with debris and cuspidors, seems to be gone forever. We noticed an occasional box of candy where formerly was wont to repose a box a box of cigars but there was no evidence that the candy was being used to corrupt the electorate.

The most decisive result of the balloting was the strong endorsement given the band.

110 Years Ago April 8, 1911 PICKLE DEAL CLOSED. Through the efforts of the Progressive League the requisite number of contracts have been secured for the location here of a pickle factory by Reid, Murdoch & Co. of Chicago. Not quite the stipulated number have been secured but the number actually signed is sufficient to insure that the requisite 200 acres of cucumbers will be plants. President Roe of the Progressive League received assurances to this effect this week. It was a good job, well handled. The following named have signed contracts to raise pickles since the last publication of the list of signers.

Frank Mock, Albert Samplawski, Martin Sczipionowski, Albert Rygiel, Hans Arneson, James McCaffrey, George Flannagen, L. F. Lein, Chas. Darski, Math Gospador, O. W. Henderson, Erick J.
