LAUREL - Dr. and Mrs. V. G. Cedarblade will leave Laurel the latter part of this month and will move to Omaha where he has accepted a surgical residency in the Clarkson hospital.
This news, which became public the first of the week, came as a surprise to the people of the community, and it is not pleasant news to the many friends of these fine young people who have made a place for themselves in the affairs of the community in the year they have been with us.
They came to Laurel a year ago last July, and during that time Dr. Cedarblade has developed a fine practice and has won the confidence and esteem of the people.
It is with a great deal of regret that we announce his decision, although we recognize the fact that it is a splendid opportunity for him in his chosen profession.
His place will be filled here by another doctor, but at this time he is not ready to announce who it will be.
Several men are in mind, but he is endeavoring to get just the right man for this place, as he feels a deep obligation to the people of Laurel. We join the many friends of Dr. and Mrs. Cedarblade in wishing them abundant success and much happiness.

LAUREL - The bowling league of this city closed a successful season Friday when the last of the games were rolled.
This does not mean the bowling season is over by a long ways, as the going is just now getting good with the handicap tournament getting started and this promises to be even more exciting than the regular league schedule.
Bowling has been a popular sport in this city for the past two seasons, and much interest is being taken in the game.
For the second straight year the Concord team topped the league and carried off the $25 first prize.
This team is composed of a fine bunch of fellows who are in there knocking down the pins with a regularity that wins games.
This season Tony Ford’s Clowns finished in second place, a game ahead of the Hattig team, while the Maytags finished ahead of the Bankers for fourth money.
The individual high total of pins for the season was good for $5 and goes to Willard Tangeman, as the Concord team won another $5 on high team score for the season. There has been a lot of fun and good sportsmanship in the league, and now the local keglers are turning their attention to the handicap event.
Following this, other events will come up to keep the local bowlers interested throughout the season. Followine ses 28 26 Feb. 5, 1941
LAUREL -The professors were just too good. Battling valiantly, the high school Bears fell before their elders Friday by a one-point margin, 17-16.
It was really a thrilling game, and there was no fooling to the contest this year. Just slam bang basketball, no quarters asked or given.
Those present for the contest say it was one of the best of the season, and while the high schoolers lost, they made the profs really get down and dig for the victory.
In the preliminary game, the grade schoolers put on an exhibition with the Maytags running all over the Detlefsen’s Mustangs.
The score was something like 36 to 3, and it was a splendid exhibition of how not to play the game, but it kept the large crowd in an uproar from start to finish and furnished the comedy of the evening.
There is some promising material coming up from the grades, and this is one way of developing it.
The game that was to have been played here Tuesday evening this week with Crofton was cancelled by Crofton. No reasons given. The team is now preparing for the annual tournament, which is coming up in a short time.
