Dear Editor Brendel:

It started raining yesterday. A nice, gentle soaking rain.

Dominik Paul about 70 years old died yesterday and was buried today. May the Lord grant him eternal peace.

Widower Alexander Gansky married Apolonia Schlick, daughter of the late Joseph Schlick. The second couple was widower Peter Bunikowsky [Boniakowski] and Apolonia Schlick, daughter of the war-dead Klemens Schlick. Much luck to both couples!

Our city hall renovation project is much more expensive than originally estimated. The cost is 80,000 Lei, but that will include a new brick roof, new windows and new doors as well as an atrium, which will make it, look very presentable.

The Brückegasse follows in the continuation —-

Johannes Fleckenstein sends greetings to his brother-in-law, Valentin Leinz, in Prelate, Saskatchewan. He received the money and is very grateful, but wonders why there was no letter. Please write the return address more clearly or write in care of this publication. Johannes also asks whether it would be possible to get him a subscription to the Dakota Rundschau.

Johannes Leinz would like to know where his son, Josef Leinz is? He was supposed to have been at school in Bismarck. If he does not belong among the readership of this newspaper, would someone please inform him of this message? The old man also asks his son Josef to please send him a subscription to the Dakota Rundschau. He likes this paper best of all as it always arrives in Krasna on time and offers much enjoyable reading.

In closing, I would like to ask all American and Canadian Krasna folks who do not get the Rundschau already, to seriously consider a subscription. I am sending all the Krasna news as it happens here, truthfully and unabashed. Bring joy to your friends here. Send them a year’s subscription too.

If you have any questions or letters, please feel free to ask or write. I am always happy to relay messages or clarify matters.

Greetings to the editor and staff as well as all the readers here and there.

Joseph M. Braun
