The committee on dairy products and livestock has been considering for some time the senator’s bill making the use of the tuberculin test compulsory, and preventing the receipt of milk at creameries from any but tested cattle. This is generally regarded as too drastic, and as imposing conditions on dairymen to comply with which would involve great loss and hardship. Besides, it would be practically impossible, on account of the great number of herds and the limited number of veterinary surgeons competent to test them to have all the herds tested within a reasonable time. Recognizing the force of the objections made to this bill, Senator Wright has prepared another one designed to bring about the same result gradually in another way.

Old Standard station moved to new location.
The old Standard Oil Service Station that stood on the Ebben lot south of the Great Western tracks, has been moved. It was purchased by E.J. Kuehl, who operated the Standard Station on Highway 7, and this week was moved just east of the service station there.
The building will be used as a bus depot, and ice cream, soft drinks and tobaccos will be sold there.
Francis Jensen and a crew of men did the moving. The building was jacked up from its foundation, and timbers placed beneath it. Two trucks were used to pull the heavy structure on rollers.

Storm ties up this area for only one day.
This all started when at first small snow flakes descended, then larger ones until a good old fashioned snow storm raged. The snow continued to fall until late Tuesday afternoon. At this time between 8 and 10 inches of the light white stuff had accumulated.
Tuesday morning found snow still falling with a fair wind moving it around. Travel by car was near impossible as much because of poor visibility as by the amount of snow. Local schools did not open their doors and only necessary trips were made.

St. Charles Buick dealer is one of region’s best.
Buick car dealer Herb Rohrer and his staff of seven workers are walking with pride these days.
You see, last week the St. Charles business was given a prestigious Service Masters Award by the Buick Motor folks because the overall service Buick customers in this area received is one of the best covering a six state area.
Rohrer received a lead crystal urn with the wording Service Masters engraved on it in recognition of top-notch overall customer satisfaction from October 1982 to October 1983.

Pondering Elementary School location and design.
The St. Charles Building Committee met on Tuesday, February 8 at the high school library to continue discussions on a new elementary school. The meeting started out on a high note with a generous announcement from Glen Craven of St. Charles.
We would consider gifting to the school district fifteen acres of land for the express purpose of either an elementary school or an athletic complex,” said Craven.
The announcement was greeted with applause and obviously lingered on the minds of the participants as the evening drew on.
Architect Bob Abendroth presented pictorial representations of an elementary school attached to the current high school. Special care was taken to maintain a distinct separation between the two schools, with the only common area being the kitchen and cafeteria.
