Then a buddy and I went to Detroit, Mich. We didn't have much money, so we hitchhiked with the intention of working and making lots of money. That was in 1925 and things weren't really booming.

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 Mrs.

When the sentence of $25 or 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 this point, and he called the! eight days was suspended Nov.

She was returned to custody Friday when she pleaded guilty in municipal court to a charge of driving after suspension of a MMwnnim the 2,000 bishops who voted for the language change. Four bishops voted against it "THE UNITY of the fallh 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 her driver's license and drew a sentence of $25 or 12 days in jail. Saturday she was called 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."

Her husband, meanwhile, forfeited a $25 deposit when he failed to appear in court Saturday morning on a speeding not concerned with individuals," the bishop said. "It does not insist in proclaiming the spe with the Paige and Jewett company. Going up to the employment window, I heard somebody say they were looking for enamel inspectors, so when they asked me what I could do, I was an enamel inspector.

I did learn that job and was able to stay, with the help of a good foreman. In 1926, my father asked me to come home and help in his clothing store. Q. How long were you in the clothing business? A. About five years.

As time went by, the small town clothing stores became less of a necessity. Cars made the bigger towns, like La Crosse and Winona, too close. My father and my uncle, who were partners, decided that one should sell out to the other. So, after 32 years in the clothing business, my father suddenly found himself with nothing to do. In 1930 he bought out the John Farmer insurance agency here in Winona.

Mr. Farmer still lives here, by the way. Q. -Did you move here with yonr parents then? A. Yes.

When my folks moved here, I went back to Luther College because they had a good baseball team. I played baseball four years with them. The summer I graduated, I played ball in the Dakota-Canadian League for Page, N.D. I taught school in 1935-36 at Steele, N.D. I had all the school athletics, music, the city band and was a choir director all for $85 a month.

I saved money, too, because I didn't have time to spend any. In June, 1936, I married my college sweetheart, Mary Frances Kendrick of Decorah. We were married at Elkader, Iowa. I went to Ellendale, N.D., to teach and my wife was teaching in Shell Rock, Iowa, but she joined me the next year in Ellendale. Anderson had said before the board meeting Friday that he felt that settling the "tie by 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 cial self-awareness of the church at other Christians to attract them to us. Ecumenicism is not charge. Meska, 32, was arrested by police at 1:14 a.m. Sunday on a charge of driving 45 miles an hour in a 30-mile-per-hour zone on East 3rd Street from Kansas to Lafayette streets. 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 to unity."

"Communications is an important part of the church," Bishop Fitzgerald said. "We 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 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 wftl have to decide the issue by lot, as Section 205.14 stipulates.

We can't possibly do too much of it.

It's the only way there is to let people know what a wonderful place we have and it takes effort, time and money to do the job. I also believe it's a way of bringing the people of Winona closer together, by giving them something they can work together on. Q. What do you think of the Idea of a year-around series of activities, as opposed to one major, concentrated effort, once a year? A. I've heard it said at times that people thought the Winter Carnival wasn't important enough to continue that they should put all their efforts behind Steamboat Days and just have one big event.

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. I'd like to invite more people to take part in the Winter Carnival every one in the city should have one of our Winter Carnival lapel Frosties.

Q. What's the status of plans for the upcoming Winter Carnival? A. Everything is laid out I do want to compliment the Winona Activity Group on the things they've done and I think an exceptionally good job was done this year by T. Charles Green as Jack Frost XIII. We've seen some fine promotion work also by the 1963 Princes Frost, Milton Knutson and Jerry Papenfuss, by Miss Snowflake, Dee Mahaffey, and by our princess, Naomi Gilbertson.

will the 1964 Winter Carnival offer to attract visitors to Winona? A. We have a wonderful program, running from Jan. 10 through Jan. 19, with something for everybody. There are many events, including a tri-college dance, wrestling shows, square dances, ice fishing contests and many others.

One of the high points will be the parade and the coronation on Jan. 18 of Miss Snowflake for 1964. Q. By what specific means do yon hope to stimulate maximum interest in the Winter Carnival? A. My main point of action will be to strive to get all the people of Winona to back the Winter Carnival and to feel that they are a part of it.

The more they take part, the more we will get done. It's an event we want everyone to be proud of, businessmen, laborers, professional people, ministers and the public in general. would like to see more people take part in the communications. The church plans on making use of the communications media, press, radio and tele County this year, and the third your heater is turning on, will be warning enough that old man winter has hit the area a slap on the wrist just to remind it that conditions have been a little too pleasant of late for him. THE FORECAST said "mostly cloudy with scattered snow flurries Saturday night and Sunday morning with strong northwest wind and much colder weather.

"A low in the 20s was the prediction for Sunday afternoon. Temperatures a little below normal with precipitation unlikely is the forecast for vision. 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 highway death of the year.

I joined my father in 1937 in the insurance business here, staying until World War II when 1 worked in a Des Moines, Iowa, munitions plant. This is where our son Erik was born. The plant closed in August 1945, we got back here in September. I went into partnership with my father and I've been here ever since. In 1947, our daughter Kendra joined our family.

Q. Had you been active in the Winter Carnival promotions before this year? A. Not in any official capacity, outside of being a firm believer in the idea back of it. I've always been active in sports in the community and I played baseball for several years with Rollie Tust, Bill Hargesheimer, Steve Sadowski, George Vondrashek and a number of other fellows. Q.

When did you learn of yonr selection as Jack Frost XIV? A. I've known about it since last August. It's been a tough secret to keep. Q. What do you hope to accomplish; what is your platform as Jack Frost XIV? A.

I hope to be able to tell a great many people the story of Winona, the wonderful place it is to live, how nice its people are to get along with. I particularly want to have people come and visit these folks in Winona and find these things out for themselves. Also, I hope to meet a great many old friends throughout this area, to set an example of good citizenship and, mostly, to promote the city of Winona. Q. How important do yon think such promotion efforts as the Winter Carnival are to the city? A.
