RANDOLPH — Prof. E. T. Sly and his daughter of Hartington were guests at the Lions luncheon Monday. Mr. Sly is the new director of the high school band at Hartington and can take on another place to fully occupy his time. His visit here was to arouse interest in a band for Randolph.
There is talent in Randolph, we believe, to have a good band within a short time under the leadership of a competent instructor. There will be expense, and this expense needs be met in some way. It is considered by towns of the size of Randolph and larger that a home band is a wise investment and that weekly concerts are a pleasure to the people of city and country. Such concerts were popular here a few years ago when Randolph had a band, and will again be popular, should we have a band.

RANDOLPH — A number of housewives and others have urged that some plan be worked out by which a garbage disposal system may be inaugurated in Randolph. Garbage and waste from the kitchens of Randolph homes is usually dumped in the alley for no other means of disposal is available.
Garbage thus dumped is a breeding place for flies; disease is encouraged and perhaps spread. The alley method is unsanitary, unsightly and unhealthy.
It has been suggested that householders in Randolph provide themselves with metal garbage cans, with covers; that these containers be set on the alley line; that the city collect and haul away such garbage thus placed; that liquids be thoroughly drained off and only solids placed in the containers, the idea being to haul away garbage, not slop.
This matter was discussed at the Lions club Monday noon, and by vote the club went on record as favoring a plan, or one similar to that outlined above, and recommending to our city council that some regulation be made that will adequately take care of this desirable relief in the interest of the health of our city.

RANDOLPH — Mr. and Mrs. A. J. Abts drove to Sioux City Sunday to meet their daughter, Miss Dorothy Abts, who returned from Washington, D. C., where she has been attending school the past two years. She received the M. A. degree from the Catholic University and a diploma from the National-Catholic School of Social Service. In July she will begin work in the social service department of the Johns Hopkins hospital in Baltimore, Maryland.
Miss Abts has achieved notable success in her chosen profession, and we are glad to chronicle the advancement she has made in this worthy line of work.

RANDOLPH — John Wayne, 17-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. M. J. Furness, living a mile and a half north of Magnet, died Tuesday morning at 8:45 at the home of his parents. Death was caused by blood poisoning from tonsillitis—a rare disease, and hard to cope with.
The young man became ill Wednesday, and on Thursday a doctor was called to attend him. The strange malady was hard to combat, and a second doctor and nurse were enlisted, and everything that medical science and care could do was done to save the young man’s life, but in vain.
John Wayne Furness was born at Magnet on Feb. 7, 1914.
