RANDOLPH - A smashup at the corner one block south of the First National Bank this afternoon resulted in a Buick coach and a Ford roadster being badly damaged. Waldo Broer, the driver of the Ford, had his knee only slightly injured and Roy Robbins was unhurt.
Robbins was driving north at a moderate speed and just reached the center of the intersection when Broer, who was proceeding west, hit him broadside. Neither driver saw the other until it was too late and both turned to try to avoid being hit. Broer nose-dived into Robbins’ car and then turned over as the result of the impact.
The front end of the Ford was telescoped and the windshield broken while the Buick escaped with only a broken running board and a dented door. The Buick was driven on and the Ford pushed to one side to await a tow-in.

RANDOLPH -Randolph is feeling pretty good to know that work will soon begin in improving the church road north of town, a road that carries a good deal of traffic, the gravelling of which will benefit a large number of farmers.
Last summer the matter of gravel for this road was taken up. A number of meetings were arranged at which farmers along the route were invited to meet with the local Lion’s Club and discuss the proposition. Now, we understand, Commissioner Griesel has assured Randolph that the work will be done. One mile north of town, to both cemeteries, was graveled last year by Mr. Griesel and this has been a fine help. Another mile was added last fall, north of the Robins school house, which was also a help. The county outfit has been moved to the Robins school house and after a little work east of that corner, the larger project to Randolph will begin.
Commissioner Griesel figures the job, including grading, will cost $6,000, which is very reasonable and Mr. Griesel has done good work on the roads in his district and at a very low cost. He has improved county roads that serve a large number of people and this last project, one of the major ones, will be hailed with delight. Mr. Griesel has done thorough work, work that is being appreciated.

RANDOLPH -The German theatre, a group of actors and singers who have appeared in Randolph for several seasons, will again give one of their productions. This season they present the musical comedy, “Bub Oder Maedel?” a complete mixup, at the Sons of Herman Hall next Thursday night, May 21.
The play is in German and those familiar with this language will enjoy a treat, for the company is of the best.
Something or somebody must move a little faster in the next few months than has been the case thus far in May if No. 20 is to be graded and graveled for nine miles west of Randolph. It seems to us little progress has been made as yet.
Those who worry about our physical well-being are always troubled about which is the more cooling, a hot drink or a cold one.
