RODHOLM CHILD is
BURIED AT ASKOV

NOrvald, the youngest child of Rev.
and Mrs. S. D. Rodholm, who had
been i'll since the first of the year,
passed away at their home in Des
Moines, Iowa, Saturday. Diphtheria
was the cause of his death. Although
the little boy had been very i'll it
was thought that the danger point
had been passed Friday and that he
was on the way to recovery when sud-
denly the illness took turn for the
worse-paralysis1 of the heart setting
inland he passed to the Great Beyond
in the evening of the following day.
Norvald was born in Askov on July
IL, 1923, and having been baptized
here the parents desired that the little
body be given it's final resting place
in the Askov cemetery. Accompanied
by the parents it arrived here Tues
day and was taken to the cemetery
for burial. Following the burial which
was conducted by the father services
were held in the local church where
both Rev. Rodholm and the local pa
stor, o. H. Dyreborg, spoke. The little
boy had been the flower of the home
and though they greatly mourn his
loss Rev. Rodholm said that they are
deeply grateful for having had him
and the beautiful memories that he
will recall so many times.
A number of friends gathered at
the parsonage and spent the evening
with Rev. and Mrs. Rodholm who re-
turned on the night train to Des
Moines.
Folks in the Askov community SYM
pathize with their former pastor and
his good wife, also the brothers and
sisters, in the loss of their little
Norvald but are happy in the thought
that it adds richness and fullness to
their lives.

BASKET BALL HOLDS
SWAY AT PINE CITY
High School Defeats Braham.-
Battery Team Loses to Moose
Lake.-Fat Men Also Try Con-
illusions. - Lakeshore Lots
Plated.

Basket ball continued to hold the
center of the stage in Pine City last
week, there being no less than five
games played during the week. The
high school teams met Braham on
the armory floor, the girls team
playing a tie game with a score of
Is to Is while the boys won easily
with the score of 25 to IA.
The Battery team met their match
and more when they played the
American Legion team of Moose Lake.
A more versatile bunch of players
that the Moose Lake boys has not
been seen on the Armory floor for
some time. They took the measure
of the Pine City boys with a IL to
II score and furnished plenty of
thrills for basket ball fans. This
game was played on Saturday even
ing. 49,.
Another game worthy of mention
was that played by Captain J. D.
Boyle and his fat men against a SIM
liar aggregation at Rush City, on
Thursday evening last week. No one
really knows who won, as Rush City
refused to furnish a scorekeeper, and
placed the game entirely within the
hands of one Knight who carried a
cowbell instead of a whistle. Any
how there was considerable fun at
this game and many laugh for the
crowd that gathered.
The high school team is expecting
some stiff opposition when they meet
saltwater on the local floor next Fri
day evening.
Another lake shore plat has re-
