Le Mars, July 23, 1 Await Final Word On New Akron Bridge A recent announcement that the highway commission has agreed to build a primary road bridge to replace the one only partially in service at Westfield, and that it has agreed to a farm-to-market road bridge at Akron, has not yet resulted in official action.

County Engineer E. E. Nelson said Saturday. The bridge at Westfield will be a joint project of the Iowa and South Dakota highway commissions. The one at Akron will be built from farm-to-market funds by Plymouth county and the South Dakota highway commission.

Union county, S. is out of the picture as it has no county engineer, and therefore cannot dispose of farm-to-market funds. i Plymouth county's procedure will be pursuant to a board of supervisor's resolution passed in 1953. and informally ratified by present board members as reported in The Globe- Post exclusively last week. County Engineer Nelson said the new bridge will be about a half a mile due north of the present bridge.

This location would 'look ''northwest" to most people, to whom Highway 12 seems to run north. Actually it runs northeast from Akron. The county will have to build about 2,000 feet of road to connect Highway 12 with the bridge. Trie location has been approved, but it's only tentative. It is subject to change by official action.

The final sayso is with the highway commissions of the two states. Engaged Mr. and Mrs. Elmer Bruiting of Kingsley, announce the engagement of their daughter. Miss Marilyn Bruntng.

to Gene Dugan. son of Mr. and Mrs. Cyril Dugan, also of Kingsley. No wedding date has been set.

in Remsen Bell-Enterprise: And now there's an organization called Western Earthworm Booster Consultants, Inc. of Los Angeles. Its representative" was 'in Le Mars Saturday to see about gathering interest in forming a worm booster program here, naturally at so much per acre. Science long ago found that the common earthworm is a soil builder, and that's nothing to laugh at. According to the news, the mcth- od of increasing the worm popula- I lion is to send up hormones in aeri- al bombs and the hormones come back down and in some way get the worms into high-gear production.

What worries me ib, what's going to happen to the night crawler industry. Henry J. Groetken Henry J. Groetken, 71, 415 Court street, a Sioux City resident for 13 years, died Thursday at the residence after a sickness of a year. He was born December 19, 1884, in Le Mars, la.

He married Amelia Bird September 18, 1907, in Sioux Cty. They later farmed near Le Mars. Mr. Groetken was a stationary engineer for the Sioux City Gas and Electric Co. years ago in Le Mars and later was an engineer at St.

Vincent hospital in Sioux City. Survivors include the widow; six daughters. Mrs. Roy Bcnton and George Peterson, both of Sioux City: Mis. Clarence Boden.

Mrs. William Cunningham and Mrs. F. B. Jones, all of Long Beach, and Mrs.

James Mastine, of Portland Ore- egon; three sons, Thomas of Wichita, Kansas; Cecil of Sioux City, and Cyril of Long Beach; 32 grandchildren and two great-grandchildren, and a sister, Mrs. William Sauter of Fonda, Iowa. He was a member of St. oJseph Catholic church, Sioux City. Funeral services were held at 9:00 A.

He said the possibility of a feed shortage in some areas and the high storage payment being offered to producers should result in a much higher percentage of eligible corn being kept on the farms another 5 ear after the present loans and purchase agreements mature on 31. With the new reuscl storage payment which faimcrs can earn fixed at 10 cents a bushel, Vice-Chairman Baldc.s expressed the opinion a Plymouth county will "certainly do its share'' toward meeting the state com rcscal goal of 60 million bushels. He pointed ou.k that the rate for keeping eligible corn on the (arm an i a year or i 31. 1957. i.s one cent higher than paid in the 1954 and 1955 reseal programs.

The 1956 reseating program has been made necessary by the fact that over 165 million bushels of price-supported Iowa corn is eligible for delivery to Hie government after July 31 and the total amount of cinply hinsile and commercial storage is insufficient to handle that much grain. This i a i has developed in tpitc of the (act a the government is now adding over million bushels of space on Iowa hinsitc.s and comnierci.il warehousemen in the stale have indicated they will expand their facilities by at least 30 i i bushels. The seriousness of the government problem is shown. Vice-Chairman Baldcs said, by a recent announcement that loans on 1953-crop corn still on the farms of Iowa under reseal i be eligible for another year's extension under the 1956 reseal porgram. It previously annoificcd iliat only farm-stored 1954 com 1955 farm-stored under oripiiiiil loans and 1955 f.iun-sioied corn tinder purchase agreements converted lescul at this time.

Vice-Chairman Bakles emphasised a i producers arc not required to deliver to the government in oider to receive an c.irncd storage payment. Instead, a participating producer may pay off his loan the end of the extra year, keep the corn and Mill receive a storage payment. A producer who rescals also may redeem his corn at any time prior to Juy 31, 1957, when Ihe extra year ends, and receive a pro-rated payment for me period of storage after Otober 1956.

Vice-Chairman declared, "arc cs- pccially appealing lo the farmer who desires to keep his old corn as protection against a feed and resulting higher feed costs. Thus he not only assures himself i of a of feed light on his form puts also puts himself in position to sell at a gain if he does'nt need the i a i and (he market price climbs above the loan.

Remsen Pool Opened Friday Remsen Bell-Enterprise: Remsen's new S55.000 swimming pool was thrown open to the public last Fri- i day and the first three days, Sunday 1 included, brought many children and 1 adults to the new recreation point. In the first day of classes. Mon' day. Pool Manager Lou Galetich 1 said that he thought almost all of the over 400 students appeared for lessons.

There are 800 taking lessons, approximately 100 in each class. I Patronage continued strong all I through the week with both adults and children enjoying the woter during the afternoons and evenings. The pool water is always clean and clear. The is cquip- cd with a filter which runs through 630 gallons every minute. In six hours all the water in the pool lias traveled through the filter system.

i Mr. Galcticn says the morning I i i classes are all filled and only under extreme ciicumstances can one or two more be admitted. He asks parents lo i if at all possible, in both enrollments and requests for class changes. i The new pool, at the east side of town, is on a three-acre plot bought from Ihe Gralapp farm adjoining. I The Commercial club is considering i acquisition of three moie acres for 1 a two-fold reason-- first, more parking space lo replace that used for driving, and second, for ptobable es- tablishment of tennis courts and picnic grounds.

The pool has been attracting a good deal of attention from people i in surrounding towns according lo reports and to the number of visitors during the past two weeks. Certain misehievioiis lads have apparently stopped throwing dirt into the pool but now they're throwing cement and rocks. The m.m.iger said a Monday morning the life- guauls found a large of ce- ment on the pool floor. What was formerly mischievous I behavior is now criminal and dan- serous to swimmers. Besides the three Remsen men who were mentioned times as lifguurds and instructors, the town employs two full-fledged female in- stuictors in Mary Schrocdcr of Lc M.irs and Glcnda Rcns of Orange City.

Each of the instructors also lias an assistant, who upon occasion is capable of directing a class. 'I he assistant instructors are Steve man. Paul Harpcnau, Ron schkc.

It Search For 5 "Flyaway Model Planes An estimated 1.520 persons, three times the usual number, witnessed some part of the model airplane contest at the Westmar Airport on Sunday.

Five planes were lost including a venerable six foot model owned and flown by Richard T. Koenekc, 611 7ih Worthington, Minn. This plane with a small gasoline motor, was so arranged that the motor would come oft after 14 seconds of spiraling upward flight, after which it vj supposed to descend. However the plane was caught in a "thermal'' or updraft of warm air and ascended to great height. It was seen sailing through the clouds as ENCAGED Mr.

Presumably the plane came down after sundown, when the "termals" finally quit, and if so must be in a tree or field somewhere near Le Mars.

Mr. Koenke built the plane 15 to 17 years ago, before he entered the army and would like to have it back. All of the five lost planes have the names of the owners on them and they would all like them back. Finders are requested to contact the Le Mars Chamber of Commerce or the owner. Plenty of thrills were provided when the small planes went through their paces including aerial battles struction Company of Le needs plumbing, work, heating and ventilating, outside grading and landscaping as well as driveways.

These jobs have been privately contracted for by Albertson and Company with the Le contractors. The new plant, to house the abrasives of the Sioux City power tool company, is the first evidence of success of efforts by Le Mars residents to aid their cities growth with an organization ofrmed to inform industry prospects of the city's advantages for expansion or location of industry, both in and out of Le Mars. still John Hart, Sr. electrical Born in Sioux City, July 1956, -at St. Vincent's hospilal, to Mr.
