According to Mr.
A. C. Rinn, our rainfall for
the past month was 3.3 and
all of it came plenty early in
the month.
Actually, 1 suppose
the past weeks have been real
hay-making weather.
And a bit on
warm side, too.
A good sign of ac-
tivity began in the area in the
past days as the upgrading and
expansion construction of the
Industry-New Ulm Telephone
Company began.
At the present time,
the concrete foundation has
been poured for the building
in New Ulm and the forms are
being readied for the concrete
pouring for the new building
in Industry.
Location of the new
ponhe building in New Ulm
is adjacent to the building
which presently houses the
local telephone equipment.
InIndustry, the new
facility will be on Highway
159.

With the history of
fatal accidents at that parti-
cular crossing,you can readily
see that the possibility of a
collision is serious.
Especially In this
case since the Union Transport
truck was loaded with what
the driver said was gasoline.
The near miss hap-
pened at approximately 5:00
a. m. Sunday morning as the
transport was headed south on
Highway 109.
The driver appar-
ently did not see the train
crossing until he was close.
He swerved to the
left and the truck went into
the ditch up to and along side
of the train.
The truck was es-
timated to have finally come
to a halt in the ditch about
12-15 feet from the train.
Clyde PeKhel's
wrecker got the truck out of
theditch later in the morning.
Actually, there
were no injuries and no damage
to the vehicle.
But it was a near
potential disaster considering
the circumstances and the
nature of the fuel involved.
In this case, being
able to use the word” if' is
to our advantage.
The absence of rain
for the past weeks is also add-
ing to the potential fire situa-
tion.

He had a big smile
on his face when we shook
hands and he really had a
reason for it.
Packed in crushed
ice in the back of his car was
a hefty 6-pound2-ounce bass
that he had just snagged on a
topwater Devilhorse lure.
The bass came out
of a lake on the Marik Ranch
and Mr. Boelsche said that
he had several other big
strikes that morning, but that
they had escaped in moss.
His rig was a spin-
ning outfit with 10# test line.
The interesting
point was that the fish didn't
start hitting until 11x00 a. m.
that morning, according to
Mr. Boelsche.
And it was plenty
hot that day.
It looks like that

could prove financially valu-
able to the county in that
