GIFFORDS 

— The first automobile was out on our road Sunday. This was the first Ford of the spring. It seems good to see the Fords once again and not snow banks. 

— Everyone will be glad to attend church service again. It is some time since we have had church service. The weather was so bad that people could not get there. We hope that we will soon have service. 

VILLAGE NOTES 

Lorene Stoll, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A. Van Noy Stoll, had the misfortune to break the tibia bone in her left leg last Tuesday night. Lorene had been to the home of Walter Severson for milk. The snow concealed the ice on the walk and she fell as she was hastening home. Mr. Stoll was attracted by her screams and carried her to the house. Dr. Cullen was called but owing to severe bruises was unable to place a temporary cast. She will be taken to the hospital for an X-ray examination some time this week.

He was also secretary and treasurer of the Republican organization and secretary and treasurer of the Knox Cemetery association. We wish him success wherever he goes.
