No Law Found Yet for 2nd Village Vote Goodview's canvassing board, meeting Friday night to settle the deadlocked race for village mayor, voted instead to look into the legality of holding a run-off election. Village Attorney Duane Peterson, however, told the Daily News Saturday that he knew of no provision in state statutes for such an election. As far as he knew, he said, the statute clearly calls for settlement by lot. He added that he would check the statutes further before giving an opinion. REX A.

JOHNSON, one of the two candidates involved in the deadlock, echoed Peterson's feeling. He said Saturday he felt that the statute was clear on this point, and he called the proposed run-off election "a delaying tactic." Section 205.14 of the statutes, which relates to village elections, states that "in case of a tie vote, the council shall determine the result by lot." Johnson, as incumbent mayor, is a member of the canvassing board. He and Harris Anderson, whom he defeated by seven votes two years ago, each received 209 votes in Tusday's lection. Anderson had said before the board meeting Friday that he felt that settling the tie lot "would be unfair to the voters of Goodview." He said he favored a run-off election. A CANVASSING board meeting scheduled for Thursday night adjourned without taking any action when only three members Johnson and trustees Lester Berg and Gerald Feils showed up.

Anderson, also a trustee and thus a member of the board, contended that he had not been notified in I time for the meeting. He said that he left his home at 6:30, and had not yet been told of the scheduled meeting then. Johnson was not available for comment on this charge, but Mrs. Johnson told the Daily News that her husband had called the canvassing board members when he returned from work. He returned around 6 p.m., she said.

NO FURTHER action on settling the tie will be taken until the village attorney gives his opinion. Presumably, if he finds no provision for a run-off election in the statutes, the canvassing board will have to decide the issue by lot, as Section 205.14 stipulates. Current terms of village officials expire Dec. 31. Yule Lighting Judging Set Dec.

More Work by Laity Emphasized by Bishop By FRANK BRUESKE Sunday News Church Editor "We are trying to get the laity to take a more active participation in the church, rather than passive," said the Most Rev. Edward A. Fitzgerald as he discussed the business conducted at the recently concluded session of the Vatican Council in Rome. "The laity has always accepted its passive role in the church, but there are many jobs in the church that can be done by the laity.

There is a definite need for more active The bishop and Auxiliary Bishop George A. Speltz returned from Rome Thursday after spending more than two months at the council with 2,000 other bishops from around the world. "THE LAITY is the Important part of the church," the bishop said.

(Special) A wedding dance ended in death on a fog-shrouded highway near here for a Freeburg youth early Saturday morning. Killed when his car left Highway 76 one mile north of here at 1:15 a.m. was John A.

Gillen, 23, son of Mr. and Mrs. Arnold Gillen, Freeburg area farmers. According to the Houston County sheriff's office Gillen was traveling toward Caledonia when his car went off the road on a slight right curve, traveled along the shoulder, plunged into 20-foot ditch to the left and rolled over, throwing the driver out. The car stopped on its top.

Gillen suffered a possible broken neck and skull fractures. He died at the scene. He had landed about 10 feet from the car. GILLEN HAD attended a wedding dance of a friend at Eitzen. Before leaving he said he was sleepy and asked someone to follow him.

Stanley Danielson of Caledonia did, and witnessed the accident. This was the first fatality on a trunk highway in Houston ETTRICK AREA RESIDENTS ETTRICK, Wis.

In summer the horses are leased to a girls camp in Northern Wisconsin. ting use of modern languages i in parts of the church services, was cited by the bishop as a step forward into getting more participation in the church from the laity. "The bishops from the United States will meet spring to work on the language, its translation and to what parts of the Mass it will be applied," he said. "It will be applied to the first part of the Mass.

The second part of the Mass will still probably be conducted in Latin. "A committee has been appointed to study the program and it has already met. But the translation will be the largest problem." Bishop Fitzgerald was one of the 2,000 bishops who Four voted bish- for language change. ops voted against it "THE UNITY of the faith in doctrine, morals of the church and the position of the Pope as sovereign head of the church were never questioned during the council," he said. The authority passed on by Pope Paul VI to the bishops will be shared by the priests and laity, the bishop said.

Another subject, discussed during the recent session and to be considered at the next session starting Sept. 14, was ecumenicism. "The ecumenical movement is not concerned with individuals," the bishop said. "It does not insist in proclaiming the special self-awareness of the church at other Christians to attract them to us. Ecumenicism is not a subtle form of convert-making.

The ecumenical movement deals not with individuals but with communions. It is a movement of evangelical renewal, and as the churches grow in the likeness of Christ, they shall advance on the road Discussed in this controversial schema of ecumenicism are mixed marriages performed by non-Catholic pastors and permitting Catholics to attend services at other churches. This information has not been detailed during this session, he reported. A SECOND important step taken by the council was a decree on communications media. "Communications is an important part of the church," Bishop Fitzgerald said.

"We would like to see more people take part in the communications. The church plans on making use of the communications media, press, radio and television. This is another part where the laity can take an active position in church work." The bishop is looking at a busy schedule. Today he will conduct a pontifical high Mass at St. Mary's College at 8 a.m.; discuss the Vatican Council at the 9:30 service at Cathedral of the Sacred Heart, and appear at College of Saint Teresa at 2 p.m.

OMW Could Arrive Today If what the weather man predicted at 6 p.m.

Saturday, when Winona was basking in pleasant 40-degree weather, is true, you don't need to be told about it now.

But I'm sure the people of Winona especially in the last few years are finding the Winter Carnival is essential. People look forward to it, not only in Winona but in the surrounding communities. Neither one takes away from the other, as I see it. They both enhance each other.
