Whether the proposed ordinance will, If adopted and placed In the city's book of ordinances, correct some conditions that may exist with respect to the keeping of livestock, or multiply the problems and worries of the city dads, Is a guess.

Cooke will present their -annual Christmas program on Wednesday, Dec. 18, at 8:15 p. m. in the Stout auditorium.

A special performance for Stout students will be given at 11 a. m. the same day. The "Christmas Oratorio" by Johann Sebastian Bach is one df the greatest pieces of choral music ever wr'tten and is rivaled only by Handel's Messiah. There are striking similarities in the lives of Handel and Bach; both were born In Germany in the same year, 1685, and both went blind and died paupers.

Their music, however, was vastly different. In contrast to Handel's Messiah which was presented last year, Bach's Christmas Oratorio is composed mostly of beautiful chorals. The program will also include a group of Christmas Carols and the "Hallelujah Chorus" from the Messiah. The program promises to be one of the finest ever given in this section of the country and one thajfc all will enjoy.

Verne C. Frykiund, head of the Stout Institute, will go before Gov. Walter Goodland and his budget committee next Tuesday, to present the college's biennial budget requesting a state appropriation' of $1,243,411.66 which is needed to operate the college during the 1947-48 and 1948-49 years. This budget total Is somewhat higher than the amount levied for last two yeaTS when the amount was $1,100,510.00. However, Pres.

Frykiund has trimmed the proposed budget figure to the lowest amount possible with which the college can be op-, era ted and is asking for bare necessities. This will be Pres. Fryklund's first appearance before the governor and the committee to present a Stout budget- proposal, having come to the college to become its head a little over a year ago, and just before the college smashed all previous enrollment figures, with a high of 805 students. As a result of the increased enrollment, many problems have arisen for the Stout president to meet and solve, and one of them is the need for increased help in financing. With the enrollment of Stout soaring to a total of 805 students, it was necessary to stop enroll-, ment in August especially for freshmen.

With 90 additional family housing" units recently the college can now accept more students, Pres. Frykiund will announce at the budget hearing. He will also reveal that there are 55 instructors at Stout and that more are needed i the college is to accept more students. Several instructors are needed at the present, the president has stated. Stout can serve sta-: dents with, an adequate number; of faculty members.

Pres. Frykiund believes. Increasing '-enrollments require more fac- ulty members, more equipment and machinery and replace- ment of obsolete and worn out equipment and machinery. cannot be a reduction In maintenance of all plant Pres. Frykiund says.

"The more students, the more attention must be given to maintenance. We are helping ourselves- in every way possible. We are on the alert for WAA equipment and military donations. This year, we practically replaced an obsolete machiHi" shop without cost to the state. The value is estimated at $30,000.

Woodworking machinery was not available for donation so it will be necessary to buy it, thus replacing equipment purchased by Sen. Stout .40 years ago. Such' equipment cannot continue for- ever to take the heavy use to which It is subjected. We have also received, at no cost 90 apartment units, valued- at $200,000 from FPHA for housing veterans families. These will eventually be revenue Continuing still more, In his budget report, Pres.

Frykiund -tells: "Stout can carry on with the current total 1946-47 ap- proprlation and serve 800 students in a restricted way. But the demand for graduates is 12 to one, and more students de-. sire this type of than can be accommodated der present (CotiUtiued on Page Six) i Call Off Christmas Lighting: Contest Again the coal shortage, due to the nation-wide strike, and the curtailment of the use of electricity, makes Itself felt In Menom-onie.

Because Sheriff Del will be in office for only this month, it is not expected that the equipment will "be installed in his car. The car of Fred Einum, sheriff-elect, who takes office the first of January, will be equipped to use the police radio system. County law officers have taken their federal examination to operate the system, and their licenses are expected to be granted soon.

The new police radio system, first to be used In Dunn county, will enable Traffic Officer Walter and Sheriff-Elect Einum to keep in close contact in the enforcement of laws, even though one or the other may be in one end of the county, and miles away from Menomonie. the county seat, and the Jail. According to Officer Walter he expects that the radio system will enable him to keep in touch with the sheriffs office, even when he is at the extreme outskirts of the county. The same will be true for the sheriff, who can carry on a two-way conversation over the system with those at the jail, when he is any place in the county on business. The antenna of the police radio system was erected on 'the city water tank.
