To Consider Referendum On Operation Proposal of Investigating Body Sent to Finance Group The Dane county board yesterday referred to its finance committee a resolution asking the board to purchase the fair grounds property and to the people for referendum vote the question of the county operating the fair. The resolution was exactly in line with recommendations contained in a report submitted to the board yesterday by the special county fair investigating committee.

Members of the committee were George H. Harb, Madison, chairman, Alfred Mueller, town of Primrose, and Frank Dole-shal, Marshall. The committee report stated that Dane county "needs and wants a fair and that only the county itself is financially able and capable of giving the county the type of fair desired. Harb introduced the resolution asking for a referendum vote at the April elections after the report of his committee had been submitted. The resolution instructs the county clerk to prepare the referendum ballots to be used at the election.

R. V. Hurley, county agricultural agent, and B. F. Rusy, of the University of Wisconsin agricultural extension department, -urged county operation of the fair.

Hurley said that Dane county is the second richest agricultural county in the United States and said its people wanted and had a right to expect an adequate fair. Rusy told of methods by which fairs had succeeded in other counties and declared that at least 69 Wisconsin counties have county fairs. supervisor Paul A. Robinson, Sun Prairie, asked. Rusy how county fairs would be affected by the threatened withdrawal of state aids to fairs.

"It there is to be no state aid, Rusy answered, "It is my belief that most county fairs would be destroyed. Before voting to refer the referendum resolution to the finance committee, board members questioned Harb at length to determine -whether life memberships of members of the Dane County Agricultural society, the present owners of the fair, would hold good even though the county took over operation of the fair. Harb declared they would not. Gilbert added this little room for his study, hut. its so cozy we never use the living room any more.

ww YOHN Some people pay a high price to the colleges and universities to give their children an education in foreign languages. Right there in our own community, I emphasized, they had a tremendous advantage. They already knew foreign languages and could teach their children themselves. I was greatly astonished and mightily pleased of course with the applause that followed this, the most extemporaneous speech I ever made. Dozens of people have talked with me since then about a school of languages at home.

The idea seems to have caught on. 4- 4- FINDS LOST TREASURE HEN JOHN SCHARNBERG son of Mr. and Mrs. John Scharnberg of Kennedy Manor, was a lot littler than he is now, he was quite a little treasure-hunter. Not that he sailed the Old Spanish Main chasing a ship flying the skull-and-crossbones flag or anything like that, but he did know where to locate buried treasure and he found it, too.

It was in what the prosaic, unimaginative world would call a most unromantic spot but then some people have no romance in them anyway. But to John Jr. this spot had the same lure as the waters of the blue Carribbean Sea once had for the swashbuckling buccaneers of olden times. And while this treasure-spot didnt yield pieces-of-eight or chests of gold, it did give up regularly a certain amount of the real coin of the realm a fortune, in fact, to a little lad about nine or ten years old. Usually it was silver treasure; sometimes copper but always discovered with wild joy which was followed by immediate action as to spending it.

Guess if you can where he found it? You never could so well have to divulge the secret. Dont let it spoil this mystery when you are told that the loot was found regularly under the rubber doormat in front of the Orpheum theater, where Johns father was formerly manager, and even more recently under the mat in front of the doors of the Strand-Parkway theaters of which Vitality Gay Watteaux reflect 18th Century Romance MADGE A SSEMBLYMAN H. S. HAL-VORSON of Westby, representative of Vernon county, has started something. When he was in Madison recently to attend a state government reorganization committee meeting, he unwittingly related a good story about himself.

He was telling about being present at a father-and-son banquet in his home town. Everybody on the program had told how good fathers are and how good sons ought to be and it seemed, he said, that nothing more remained to be said on the subject. He had gone to the banquet quite unexpectedly and was enjoying the occasion quietly when some one spied him and called on him for a speech. "I was In a quandary, he confessed. "Everything had apparently been said that was fitting and appropriate.

For the moment I was up a tree. I took refuge in every speakers old "equilibrium-establisher a story. I couldnt think of a story, either, on the spur of the moment. So I had to tell them something about myself and as I started, my inspiration came. It occurred to me as I looked over the well-known crowd, that I was speaking to men and boys of foreign parentage Germans, Norwegians, Danes, all nationalities, you might say.

So here is the story I told them: GETS JOB AND RAISE 6XVTHEN 1 was a yunS b7 like many another lad of that time, I was drawn to the western harvest fields, when harvest time was over I looked for another job. Going to a grocery store, I asked the proprietor if he needed extra help. He looked me over and asked my nationality. "I am a Norwegian, I answered. "Can you speak the language well? he asked.

To prove it, I did my stuff and he said, All right. Start in. Thirty dollars a month to start. Needless to say, I started in. This grocer had a big Scandinavian trade.

He had had difficulty in getting a clerk who could speak their language well. He himself oould not talk a word of Norwegian or Swedish. At the end of the month he raised my salary $10 a month without my asking for it and he put me in entire charge of the Scandinavian customers. So, once upon a time, and many a time thereafter, it came in mighty handy to be able to speak two languages. 4- A FATHERS DUTY SO I told the fathers in the assemblage that it was their duty to perpetuate their native language, whether it was German, Norwegian, Swedish, Danish or whatever it was, by teaching it to their children.

tells it this way: One day I looked down, and saw a bright shiny dime laying in one of the little round holes in the rubber doormat. It just about fitted into the hole, just as if it had been made for it. I grabbed it and then the thought came to me that maybe there were more like that. In second I had whipped up the mat and, sure enough there was another dime and a penny. In taking change, the patrons had dropped some of the money and it had slipped right through those perforations and was lest to sight.

I went every day after that sometimes two or three times a day to look for my treasure and there was hardly a day for a long time that I didn't find at least a dime hidden away under the mat. My! I thought I was rich in. those days! Sh oes $7.50 Denise, above, is of navy blue baby- calf, or grey suede, $6.75 FLOOR Asmus Rites at Juda Church Saturday JlDA Funeral services for A. F.

Are dance halls and alcohol usually blamed by girls for their betrayal? J.M.M. A. The president of an organization which deals with such problems says; "It is, of course, impossible to give any definite statistics as to the causes of prostitution and illegitimacy.

There are many factors involved, and often two or more have a bearing on 'the same case. My personal view is that dancing and dance halls are smaller factors than is generally considered to be the case. Strange as it may seem only a wry few girls out of the thousands who come to us every year blame liquor drinking for their downfall, and we have had practically no cases where dancing or attendance at dance halls is given as the primary cause. Of course, when girls are not given proper care at home, or are compelled to go out to work when young because of broken or unhappy family conditions, many go to places of amusement such as dance halls where they meet boys, who later on may be responsible for their downfall.
