Perhaps their stance is stooped and faces lined from the 50 years that have passed since the end of World War II. But the veterans who trekked along the frozen countryside of Germany, or the treacherous jungle terrain in the Pacific islands stood as proud as ever Sept. 2-4 during commemora-tive ceremonies of V-J Day.

Sen. Ken Morgan reports some success in his drive to get rid of trees growing along the right of way on ND 18 between Wyndmere and the junction with ND 46. A letter from R.E. Bradley, chief engineer of the North Dakota highway department says, in part, “We are aware that we do need to control the volunteer growth of trees in certain areas. As an example, on State Highway 18 from Wyndmere to Juntion 46 a considerable amount of the right of way was mowed for volunteer tree control.

Not too many people have an opportunity to decide what to do when a silo full of corn silage starts to tip.

That opportunity came up Monday evening Sept. 17, at the LeRoy Berg Jr. farm two miles west and two miles north of Fairmount. Since then, they’ve been working at stabilizing the 30 foot by 60 foot tilting silo and protecting the feed that was held in the silo. It all began that Monday night. LeRoy and Carol Berg were at Fairmount High School enjoying the homecoming coronation program where their daughter, Christy, was crowned queen with Mark Osborn the king.
