FOREIGN MAIL IS
STILL SUBJECT TO
WAR CENSORSHIP

Local residents who find it neces-
sary to maintain correspondence, bust
ness and private, with Norway, Swe-
den and Denmark, recently made at
tempts to find out exactly what is the
status of foreign mail in transit be-
tween the United States and Scan
dinavia. 1t was thought that the sign
ing Of the armistice would result in
practically immediate lifting of the
censorship ban, but such hopes were
dispelled by a reply received from
the United States censorship bureau;
it reads in part as follows:
mails originating in the United
States, with Norway, Denmark and
Sweden as their destination, are dis
patched via Great Britain and are
subject to British censorship"
The notice implies that h United
States mail censorship has been abol-
ished, although official announcement
to that effect has not been made.
Mails from Scandinavian cities to
Grand Forks come through only a lit
tie faster than during the actual war
period: this is explained by the fact
that all letters and newspapers have
to be opened and inspected in Eng
land. No parcel post connection be-
tween, the United States and Scan
dinavia has been reopened.

Of students registering up to noon to-
day being thirty-four. University Of

Of registrations tomorrow, the second
day of registration, and it is probable
that there will be a number Of stu

Years to return to school.
The large number Of girls making
application by mail for rooms in uni
versity residence halls and cottages
has made it necessary for university
officials to open the Rysgard cottage
as a dormitory cottage. The original
plan of the authorities was to reserve
the Rysgard cottage for hospital pur-
poses, should it be needed, but an
other house has been secured for this
purpose.
Professor David r. Jenkins, who
was recently appointed professor Of
electrical engineering, arrived. in the
city last night. Members of the

"The Adventures of
Blackberry Bear"

THERE is no doubt that Blackberry
l. Bear was very nice bear, far
nicer than any we have ever read about,
excepting always the immortal three.
Margaret Fox in The Adventures Of
Blackberry Bear has made him an ex-
tremely lovablc character, and one that
children will be sure 10 appreciate. Or
course when You consider his ancestry 1t
isn't surprising that he should have
turned out So wei, although it doesn't
always follow by any means. His grand
father was one of the finest black bears
that ever lived, IA handsome fellow, always
well dressed and owning the best cave IN
the country.
In spite OF all this, there was nothing
snobbish about Blackberry. He was kind
TO everybody and he gained by ii in the
end, whic! is frequently less successful In
the experience of human beings than 1t
was in his ease 1t is too bad that Polly
anna couldn't have had him for pet
they would have suited each other splen-
didly well, because their principles were
the same.
Throughout all his adventures, which
were many and varied, from caring for
dogs afraid of lightning to saving little
baby crows. he remembered his early
training. and SO lac prospcred prodigious-
~, taking his grandfather's place in the
community before the story ends. The
only thing that we dislike about this bear,
Blackberry, is that he sings the same song
too often-fourteen times in sixteen
short chapters, not counting snatches of
it which he hummed continually. But
this may be the fault of .his autobiog
rapher, who has probably discovered that
repetition goes rather well in children's
books and is not loath TO take advantage
of it. 1t seems too bad to misreprcsent
the bear on this account, however, and
he would be the first to resent it.
