Peter Miller returned to Askov Sat-
urday from a six weeks visit in his
native country - Denmark - having
been gone nearly three months. He
visited his mother and sister at Hor-
sens, Upland, as well as other rela-
tives and friends. His mother is "
and quite feeble. Mr.. Miller enjoyed
the trip very much but decided that
conditions in Denmark are such that
it was best not for he and his family
to move there. Many are out of
work and the financial situation is
not of the best. Folks haven't yet
gotten away from the spending habit
acquired during the World War when
Denmark was apparently swimming
in wealth but the trend is toward
normal conditions again. Govern
ment help to people out of work has
been cut down as has also pensions
to older people. Young folks are
emigrating to Canada and some also
go to Argentina in South America.
During Mr.. Miller's visit in Denmark
his wife and daughter, Ella, made
their home with the ]. P. SOrenSen
family. they are now getting ready
to leave the first of next week for
Junction City, Oregon, where they in
tend to take up residence. Mrs. Mil
Ter is a sister of Mrs. Marius Hansen
who together with her husband and
children left some months ago for
junction City. The Millers have no
property in this community now,
their farm north of town having been
sold last fall to Sophus Christensen
of Starbuck, who with his family is
expected here soon to take up resi-
dence. Askov friends will wish the
Miller family we'll in their new loca-
ton, and also join in welcoming the
Christensens,
