CALLED TO NATIONAL
SAFETY CONFERENCE
Commissioner Babc0ck Will Offer
Proposal to Discourage Reck-
less Driving Outlines Plans.

Summoned to Washington to
President Coolidge's national con-
ference on street and highway
safety March 1926, Charles M.
Babcock, state highway commits
sioner, this week accepted the
call and made an advance state
ment of ways and means that in
his view will most effectively
reduce highway dangers to life
and property.
Mr.. Babcock advocates
Holding every driver to strict ac-
countability for his conduct on public
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. individu-
al responsibility with blanket law
carrying heavy penalties for all in
fractions of the rights of other or
the public.
Universal adoption of the principle,
among others, that any vehicle which
cannot at all times be brought to a
full stop in the clear space ahead is
being recklessly operated.
Repeal of present regulations, par
ticularly speed limitations, found to
lack necessary flexibility to fit the
large number of situations and tend
ing to create disrespect for law.
Continuation of newspaper publ
city toward promoting highway safety,
institution of juvenile traffic courts
in schools, stiffening of penalties for
reckless minority" in regular courts,
and other moves to keep safety con-
stantly in the minds of adults and
children.
Repeal many of the so-called
safety statutes and ordinances
which are falling far short of the
mark, put every driver practi-
cally on his own responsibility
for the safety of the lives and
limbs of others and their proper
ty while on the streets and high
ways" said Mr.. Babcock, and
a big forward step will be taken
in problem of +, vital public i'm
portance.
Laws fail because they do not
meet greatly differing conditions
and therefore do not command
general respect and obedience.
They unduly hamper the law
abiding in many instances and
are paid no heed by the compare

Opinions of Others
DESIRES MORE INTEREST
IN CAUCUS

Editor Askov American:
We had a caucus in Partridge
township the first Monday in
March, and as usual a few de.
cided who the voters are to
choose between next Tuesday.
1t is not election, it is merely
the, voters choice between two
or three men for the different
Offices. That is the way the ma
jority wants it, | suppose. Every
body has a right to come to the
caucus which really is the big
gest part of election, but the
majority must be satisfied with
the idea that they have a chance
to cast their vote next Tuesday.
l am not dissatisfied with the
result of this last caucus, neither
with our town board, but | don't
like to see so few voters show
up at caucus, and it seems to me
that the way we nominate can
didates is all wrong. 1t gives a
good chance to use gang rule and
also a good excuse for using same.
If we performed our nomina-
ton with ballots in the same
manner that we elect officers
for our cooperative associations
the candidates then would, in the
true meaning Of the words, be
chosen by the majority of the
voters, that is if the majority
showed up at the caucus.
The above holds true in refer
,ence to the school elections. |
know here is no caucus, but filing
of the candidates, but why not
have caucus and nominate can
didates?
am not afraid of gang rule
at present, but if we believe in
democracy this must be a good
way to make it effective.
If there are some who believe

lively small percentage of dri-
vers they are most intended to
reach. Too many laws-too little
observance. One universal statute
subject to broad Interpretation
and placing rigid responsibility
on the driver under stiff penal
ties, if rigidly enforced, in my
opinion would go furtherest to-,
ward solving the problem of
menaces to highway safety.
set speed Limitations should
first be wiped out because they
cannot be made sufficiently flex-
ible-a 20-mile pace may be more
dangerous than a 45-mile rate
under other conditions. Reason
able speed is to be encouraged
both in the interest of safety
and toward reducing traffic con-
gestion."
Mr.. Babcock declared against
lax enforcement of laws and said
that whatever recommendations
may be reached must carry ample
machinery for rigid enforcement.
Askov American. [volume] (Askov, Pine County, Minn.) 1914-current, 1926-03-04
this Idea is worth while and prac-
tical, let us discuss it at our
annual town meeting.
Respectfully,
Chris. Frederiksen.
GRADING RUTABAGAS.
Editor Askov American:

Editor Askov American:
| have been expecting to see
some farmer Of this community
write in the Opinion of Others
column about the rutabaga stu
alton.
1t appears to me that some
thing could and should be accom-
plished in the way Of grading
and marketing rutabagas. Lots
of people like our rutabagas, so
does live stock and chickens, but
! believe for human consumption
the best grade should be sold
first. Why not grade them care
fully instead of shoveling every
thing which looks like rutabagas
into a box car and then try to
sell them? | believe the present
method of marketing rutabagas
is detrimental and will result in
enormous losses to the farmer
Of this community. Why not sell
the best and keep the rest? A
good slogan for us farmers rails
ing bagas.
The culls will look much better
when they are put up in the form
of a nice tub of butter, instead
of rotting in some warehouse or
box car.
Let us have meeting where
we can all air our views and
perhaps better the existing con-
dition.
Respectfully,
Damgaard Thygesen.

erature of today-both American
and Scandinavian saying it deals
too much with sex. He said, why
can't we have more Of the clean,
wholesome and beautiful" Mr..
Bjornson even went so far as to
say that there has not been a
good book written since Ben-Hur.
Mr.. Bjornson also made plea
for more home life, stating that
IF father goes to lodge and club
meetings eight nights week and
mother is out nine nights week
the children will naturally also
get the chasing habit" He said
there must be re-awakening for
life is taken too cheaply, and the
only cure for it, he said, is more
home life, the old family circle
and Christianity.
There was also singing by a
girls chorus under direction of
Mrs. A. Henriksen, with Mrs. p.
N. Fenger playing the piano ac-
compartment, and violin duets
were played by H. Petersen and
his scholar, Erling Nielsen, to
fill out the evenings program.
The usual refreshments were en-
joyed.
The next parent-teachers meet
ing will be held on Friday eve
ming, March Lat which time
the entire evening will be devot-
ed to discussion of school affairs
by local folks. All are invited to
come out and take part.

Mich, and there she was married
the following winter to Rev. H. J J.
Petersen, with whom she lived-a
happy and fruitful life for 80
years, the husband passing away
in 1905. AS a preacher and
schoolmaster Rev. Petersen was
instrumental in startingNor devel-
oping several Danish Folk High
Schools in the middle west, first
at Ashland, Mich, and at Elk
horn, Ia, and later coming to Ty-
Ter in 1883 he founded the Dane
bod College a short time after.
The venerable couple thus were
employed all their lives in a use
full spiritual labor which has in
deed bore it's fruit as evidenced
by the number of families of
Danish descent near and far
whose members have at one time
or another come in contact with
the influence of these schools.
And in this task Mrs. Petersen
had her great share of activity
through the years; she has indeed
been called the mother of the
Danish Folk High School in
America. To the union of Rev.
and Mrs. Petersen were born six
children, five of whom are living:
Holger and Ansgar both residing
at Los Angeles, Calf, Sigurd Pc
dersen in Tyler, Mrs. S. Christen-
sen of Ruthton, and Mrs. Chaplin
who lives at Baker, Mont, while
the daughter, Thyra, died as a
young girl in 1902.
The funeral Of Ane Marie Pc
dersen took place on Tuesday af-
ternoon the 23rd fom the Dane
bod church where Rev. Alfred
Jensen spoke with much feeling
and eloquence on the sterling
qualities of the good and faithful
mother who is gone from here.
Expressions of kind recollections
IN memory OF the departed one
were also made by the Reverend
Kristian Ostergaard, a life long
friend and by Karl A. Hansen, a
brother-in-law of the deceased.
The church was filled with
friends from a wide circle around
Tyler, who wished to pay the last
respect to one of the early pio-
neer women of this community,
while the numerous floral offer
ings covering the coffin further
testified to the love and high
esteem in which Mrs. Petersen
was held among all the people,
who have known her during her
lifetime. Interment took place
at the family burial ground in the
Danebod cemetery by the side of
H. j. Petersen; and thus another
pioneer couple are united at the
end of mortal travel. But the
memory of Ane Marie Petersen
will live long in the hearts of the
people around Danebod.

MAKES PLEA FOR MORE
SIMPLE HOME LIFE

IL ne Cdlk given Dy EulCOT Iuu-
mar B. Bjornson of Minneota, be-
fore the parent-teachers meeting
at the Askov school house Friday
evening was the best talk heard
here in long time. While there
were chances for differences of
opinion Mr.. Bjornson, neverthe-
less, through his independent and
straightforward style, captured
the large audience which filed
two class rooms and his appear
ance here has been the talk of
the community since.
Mr.. Bjornson was born a Dan
ish subject-on Iceland-but
came to America at the age of
three. By studying it and keep
ing up his mother tongue he has
had the advantage of enjoying
Scandinavian literature as well
as the American. Later in the
evening he dwelt at some length
on the literature of the day. Two
residents of this community
Mrs. Peter Molby and Mrs. Axel
Nissen-are Icelanders, and Mr..
Bjornson had the opportunity of
visiting with the former.
The speaker started out by say
ing that 3keen is the eye of the
guest. Often times folks in
their home communities do not
appreciate the great and beauti-
full things about them. Mr.. Born
son referred especially to the 10
cal church and said that the
wood carving on the pulpit and
the altar is beautiful and artis-
tic.
AS member of the Minnesota
State Tax Commission Mr.. Born
son has naturally made a study
of taxes. Also as a member of
the legislature, a newspaper edl-
tor for over rs years, school
board member 81 years and a
general leader Of the state, has
he gained experience and know
ledge so that he talks with au-
thority. He said, bond only
where necessary and when bond
issues are resorted to they should
stipulate a definite time within
which they should be paid. The
first payment should fall due. the
first year after the issue. Issu-
ing bonds which the second or
third generation are to pay for
was frowned upon by the speak
er, urging more of the pay-as-
you-go rule and good old-fashion-
ed thrift and economy. He added,
however, that of the money we
spend there is no money for
which we get SO much in return
as that paid into taxes.
Mr.. Bjornson said that child
rem are in school too, much Of
the time, adding that if the
studying was more intensive and
extras" were eliminated they
could learn in seven months what
now requires nine months. That
which teaches away from labor
the honor and dignity of it's
not education in its true sense:
Real education and character are
closely allied.
Here in America with it's ever
hustle and hustle, life is taken
too cheaply. There are IL times
as many murders annually in
New York City as in London,
said the speaker. He also frown-
ed on the excuse generally given
out that the war is the cause of
lawlessness, but said that movies
some years ago showed too much
gun play and sex. What the eye
sees is remembered better than
the spoken word and Qndoubted-
ly the movies of some years ago
did not have the best of effect
on the minds of the young. Mr..
Bjornson also said that newspa-
pers were too detailed in their
report of criminal news. adding
that young folks learn from read
ing it.

first pastor of the Danebod con-
gregation, passed away at the
home of her daughter, Mrs. S.
Christensen of Ruthton, on last
Friday, February the 10Th. The
deceased was so we'll known dur
ing her long and useful life, and
her kindly personality, linked
with great spiritual strength, so
much appreciated by many, both
in this immediate vicinity as well
as far beyond the borders of the
Danebod settlement, that the
burial ceremony, which took
place last Tuesday afternoon
quite naturally attracted a great
assemblage Of mourners from
near and far.
Ane Marie Petersen was born
in 1852 near the small village of
Ringe on the island of Fyn in
Denmark, thus reaching the age
of IA years, and she was able to
be about and in fairly good health
almost till the last, heart failure
being the cause of her demise. In
