Last year, as has been told in these
columns, a newspaper in Sweden
asked it's readers to contribute to a
sum of money which was to be hand
ed to Col. Charles A. Lindbergh as
a tribute from the land of his faith
ers. Lindbergh, however, declined to
accept the money but designated it
for scholarship which was to be
given to some outstanding Swedish
aviator for study purposes. The re-
cipient of the Lindbergh fund this
year is Karl Lignell, head of the
Bulltofta airport in Shame, and last
week he arrived in the United States
to study American aviation for some
time. The Swedish Aero club had
nominated him for the scholarship.

ARMISTICE PROGRAM
is STAGED BY POST
AND ITS AUXILIARY
Speaker From Minneapolis is Secured
for Tenth Anniversary
of Peace.

In keeping with the custom of cele-
brating the day when the Armistice
was signed, the Jens H. Jensen post
and its auxiliary of Askov, arranged
short musical program accompa-
MED by speech on the significance
of the day. The program consisted
of several musical numbers, both
vocal and instrumental.
The speaker engaged for the event
was Mr.. C. H. Blanchard of Mime
apolis, who was qualified in every
respect to offer an Armistice Day
speech, both by being good public
speaker as well as having seen serv-
ice in the trenches during the great
war, and who was wounded the day
before the Armistice was signed.
The program was well rendered in
spite of the fact that only a short
time was allowed for the participants
to prepare their parts and the Legion
and Auxiliary announce that they are
very well pleased with the results
obtained and wish to express their
appreciation for the cooperation OF
the public in this event.
