The American Legion boys have
been making some visible progress
with their log cabin the past week.
The roof is on now and with plenty
of wood to burn they will easily keep
it warm enough to finish up the in
side work this winter.
About a month ago someone brought
a plowshare to Peter Bovberg's black
smith shop at a time when he was
not in; the share was left there with
out any name on it. Mr.. Bovberg sharp
ened it and laid it on the floor with
other sharpened shares. Evidently
the unknown party called for it but
took the wrong share, which Mr.. Bov-
berg would like to have returned now
SO it can be delivered to it's correct
owner and so that said party gets
the share which belongs to him.
The committee in charge wishes to

If you can't come in the afternoon

versa-be sure to come. You are re-
quested to bring cake, sandwiches or
cream. And then there was just one
cali attention to and that is the lists
which have been placed in the various

stick double-barred cross Tuber-
culosis Seal on every Christmas card
and gift" This is the appeal made
by the local committee in urging that
the last week of the campaign will
find every man, woman, and child in
our town a contributor to the fight
against tuberculosis. even though the
gift be only one penny or five. Christ
mas Health Seals with the spirited
design of a stagecoach make attrac-
tive CHEEKY decorations for cards and
packages in themselves" said Mrs.
Svend Petersen. But they do much
more than this. They serve to carry
health greetings to your friends, show
that you are an active part of the
fight against tuberculosis, and most
important of all provide funds to sup
port local, state, and national work
to wipe out this dread disease. We
hope that no card or gift will pass
through our local postoffice without
one of these Christmas Seals to tell
the world that our community is
doing its share. Using the stamps
with the doublebarred cross is holi-
day habit of special meaning and
benefit. Besides adding brightness
and significance to most commonplace
gift, every seal or stamp is contribut-
ing to the fund for fighting all along
the national front this everywhere
present enemy that threatens every
home" Those desiring Christmas
Seals can purchase them at the post
office and Askov Variety Store.
