Stores Decorate for UNESCO

The stores on Main Street had their windows decorated for the pageant, sponsored by the UNESCO, Friday. Ruffners Store devoted their windows to the last World War. One showed a Belgian flag and a Nazi flag and relics of the battlefields. The other window held the roll of honor - the names of those in service from the community. S. D. Schooley had a frontier scene. Young�s Lunch Room, pictures of France. The Morganville Soda Fountain had a �One World� display by using dolls. In the Morganville Agency, E. E. Merten had a picture of a cabin with the words �Pioneers Since 1879.� A display of grains grown on the Merten farms this year.

Barbara Roenigk, who has a large collection of dolls representing nearly every nation, displayed them in one window of her father's office at the Roenigk Agency. In the other window, D. J. Roenigk had a picture of the old Eagle Bend Band when Edwin Buzzard was leader. Some of the band members were identified as the late George Perreault, T. C. Rasmussen, Hiram Rasmussen, Lewis Tebbe, West Stoneback, Richard Roenigk, Wm and Harry Stoneback and Charles Roenigk. There was also pictures of the old Morganville band, two ball clubs of former years.
