The bumper sticker may read “The early bird may get the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese.” In this case, the second rat got the milk. Fifth graders in Craig Johnson’s class at Browerville Elementary School have been feeding two rats for the past month. Snowball was fed milk, while Stimpy received sweetened water. Pictured holding the classroom “lab rats” were two students who participated in this dairy promotion-sponsored experiment, Danny Anderson and Tina Abrahamson.

In the campaign held here last week in which funds were raised to be used to further the Boy Scouts' work, 20 local men acted as solicitors, as the average collection by these men was $11, for a total of $220. The high individual collection was $17, the low was $3. The fund was oversubscribed by $20. Dr. Lenarz, chairman of the campaign, and Walt Kotula, local scoutmaster, are taking this means of thanking everyone for their kind and generous support and also thank the workers for their help.
