The Political Tinker at Seminary in English
Holberg's comedy The Political Tinker will be staged by Seminary students in the near future in English translation by O J Campbell and Frederick Schenck. The play follows a 19th century Norwegian hit and is slated for delivery by the Osgeo Society around February 22. The piece highlights translations and past Norwegian successes at the Seminary. Also noted is Fire Chief Selvig's report showing Willmar pays 15000 yearly in insurance premiums while fire losses average 4200, prompting tax concerns on small Minnesota towns versus larger cities. Martinius Sand, a Gjévik merchant, died December 18 after a brief illness of pneumonia. Gilbert Q. Sand of this city mourns with wife and two children who visited Norway last summer.
