DOCTOR IS DEAD
DIR. II. E. Leyins Who Moved to
LOmira, Wis.,, in June Died Fol-
lowing Operation.

The information had come to Askov
that DIR. H. E. Levins, who had prac-
ticed here as a physician and sur
geon for four years and in June moved
with his family to Lomira, Wis, had
been ill, but how serious was not
known. A copy of the Lomira Review
which has just been received at the
Askov American office states that DIR.
Levins was operated upon for appen-
dicitis at a Fond du Lac hospital, but
that soon after the operation other
complications set in and he died on
Oct. 2.
DIR. Levins was SO years old and
was born at Nakskov, Denmark. He
came to America with his parents at
the age of twelve and spent part of
his childhood at Neenah, Wis. He
was a government doctor in the In
dian reservation in Montana for about
ten years before coming to Askov in
1927. He and his family had resided
but four months at Lomira. Funeral
services were held at Lomira with
interment at Neenah. Surviving are
the widow and three daughters, also
three brothers-one in Denmark, one

OSTERGAARD WAS
CHURCH LEADER
TYLER Man Who has Passed Beyond,
Devoted So Years as Teacher,
Writer and Pastor in Danish Luth-
eran Church; Two Daughters Have
Taught in ASkOv.

In the death of the Rev. Kr. Oster-
gard, rs, at Tyler recently the Dam
ish Lutheran church of America has
lost one of its pioneers and staunch-
est supporters. He emigrated to
America from Denmark in 1878, and
had his start here as an instructor
in the folk high school at Elk Horn,
Iowa. A few years later he was or
dained a minister in the Danish Luth-
eran church and served various con-
gregations in the Northwest states,
during which time he also wrote
poetry and books on the pioneer life
and Christianity. In 1913 he moved
to Tyler with his family and retired
as an active pastor but devoted con-
siderable time to writing. Two of his
daughters, Miss Sigrid Ostergaard,
and Dagny (now Mrs. Howard M.
Frederickson) are we'll known to
Askov people, both having taught in
the local school, the former as Danish
teacher more than ten years ago, and
the latter as instructor in the high
school in more recent years. Sigrid
Ostergaard lives in Minneapolis now
while Mrs. Frederickson is in Tyler.
wife of the publisher of the Tyler
Journal.
Five ministers spoke at the fun
eral in Tyler, one of whom said that
the Rev. Ostergaard hoped to realize
what the Danish poet, Kaalund, so
aptly expresses: Set your feet fast in
the common soil. There are the
roots of life. There you must learn
to stand. Begin on the plane of ev-
eryday-not in the blue of the heav-
ens-and grow upward. Must you not
pillow the field before you gather in
the harvest? Love life. Hate no one.
With joy and sorrow, hope and faith.
you shall build here on earth bridge
up to the stars.
The congregation sang several
songs, among them being one written
by the man who was being taken to
his last resting place. Originally it
was in Danish but was translated into
English by the Rev. ]. c. Aaberg, as
follows:
Lord, l wish to be Thy Servant
And with mind and spirit fervent
Work for Thee and Thee alone.
All the gifts l am possessing,
Life and hope and ev'ry blessing,
Thro' Thy grace alone 1 own.
Lead me, Savior, in Thy kindness
Even when in wilful blindness
l would from Thy guidance flee.
Send me where it be Thy pleasure,
Oh, but let me ever treasure
The blest faith: I'm serving Thee

CHANGE PASTOR
AT MARKVILLE
CONTINUED from Page 1,


enjoy the comradeship and good
neighborliness of one another, said the
pastor, for we are all Americans and
should be that first, last and all the
time. Having been lauded for his
aggressiveness, desire to do some
thing, and with evidence of his &C
complishments in the community, the
Rev. Mccarthy said idleness breeds
a spirit of discomfort and that work
never faxed him. Expressing regrets
at leaving he said that he will always
remember his Markville and Pine
county friends and hopes to return
now and then for a visit.
FIR. Mccarthy was born in Ireland
on March 80, 1887, so is now in his
most active years. He was educated
in his native country and ordained
priest there on June II, 1917. In
1919 he immigrated to America, and
was appointed assistant at Virginia,
Mimi, in which position he remained
but II weeks, following which he was
appointed secretary to Bishop Nc
Nicholas and chancellor of the Du-
luth diocese. In 1921 he was ap-
pointed pastor of the Good Shepherd
church in Duluth, where he super
vised and arranged for the building
Of both the church and rectory. In
1925 he was appointed diocesan super
intendent of missions in the Duluth
diocese and held this office until he
came to Markville in October of 1928.
During the years from 1925 to 1928
he built many mission churches and
repaired many others, one of those
being the church at Markville where
he later became resident pastor.
Thirty Families Belong.
About thirty families belong to the
Sacred Heart parish at Markville.
The church which is a beautiful one,
was built in 1927, and has a good
dining hall in the basement. The
rectory was remodeled the same year.
This little home is about as beautiful
and coy inside as one could ever
expect to cast his eyes upon. 1t is
very lastly decorated, and with an
atmosphere of welcome and friendli-
ness it has been the happy meeting
place of many folks during the years
that the Rev. Mccarthy has been
there. The grounds about the church
and rectory are also well kept with a
good lawn and flowers.
The Rev. Buechler who has already
taken charge at Markville, has been
at Deer River only since last March.
He was formerly located at Grand
Rapids. During the past summer he
travelled considerably and visited sew
eral European countries. The COM
munity and the county extend cord
ial welcome to him.
The American is but $3.50 year.

BY HYMAN BARUFKN.

END Plot to Kill Alabama Sheriff" was one
of the headlines appearing in the press of
the country soon after one Negro was killed,
four wounded and go herded into Jail when a
sheriff, his deputies and armed landowners at
tackled meeting of Negro share choppers in
Camp Hill, Alabama, on Thursday, July 49,
The murderous schemes of the Alabama rul-
Ing class are made clear by recalling the events
OF Elaine, Arkansas in 1919
During the first week Of October that year
the press throughout the country carried such
screaming headlines as Negroes Had Planned
General Slaughter" and "Al Whites Marked for
Slaughter" etc. The 1919 headlines were so
much more alarming than those about Camp
Hill because the Arkansas plantation owners
had to cover up more savage crime. For over
200 Negro share-croppers were murdered in
Elaine. In Camp Hill one was openly killed
while four have disappeared" Except for this
difference there is great similarity in the two
cases.
In Camp Hill the sheriff attacked share
choppers who met in church to discuss their
grievances against plantation owners And in
Elaine the Negroes we're meeting in this church
Tuesday night, as is their custom"
At the Elaine meeting about seventy share
choppers were collecting money to pay an ex-
postmaster and Assistant United States Attor-
a
ment for them in court.
Special agent" for the Missouri. Pacific
Railroad and deputy sheriff had trouble with
their car" just outside the church-and the saw
age events followed
The Arkansas share-croppers' union had been
incorporated and "the articles of incorporation
had been drawn up by Williamson and william
son, white men and ex-save holders" as pointed
out in an article in The Nation of December s,
1919, by Walter White, secretary of the National
Association for the Advancement of Colored
People.
He states further that applicants for mem
bership had to answer such questions as:
do you believe in God?"
do you attend church,"
will you defend this government and the
Constitution at all times?"
Loyalty To Bosses Did Not Prevent Massacre
Affirmative answers to those questions we're
required OF share-croppers as condition Of adj
hitting them to membership in the union. But
that did not save them from one of the bloodest
mass lynchings this country has ever known.
Which proves conclusively that even God
fearin"," Church attending" troopers who are
ready ito defend this government and the Con-
stitution,' are subjected to the most brutal ter
rcr when they organize to defend their eco
nonic interests against robbery and exploitation.

homes, hound them like wild beasts, murder
them and sentence many as possible to life
\ imprisonment and legal lynching through cleo
trocution-as happened in Elaine Ark in 1919
All of this is well known to the leaders of the
N. A. A. c. P. For in his book, THE Negro
Faces America" Herbert j. Seligman, Publicity
Director of the N. A. A. C.. p, describes in de-
tail the economic facts underlying the Elaine
murders.
And Walter White, secretary of the N A. A.
c. P. and its chief spokesman, in his book
Rope and Faggot,' strongly emphasizes the
fact that not color of the skin but economics is
the underlying cause of lynching. He points
out that during the decade preceding the Civil
War about so Negroes were Iynched, which
number was well below that of white victims "
While in a single year after slavery was abol-
ished 235 workers were lynched, Of whom only
third were whites. When Negro was lynched
during slavery times white master lost about
five hundred dollars, while white worker had
no value to him. Whereas since slavery was
abolished Negroes have no value-to capitalists
and lynching terrorizes them into accepting
illegal slavery.
Yet when the Camp Hill atrocities became
known the two outstanding Spokesman of the
N. A. A. c. P, Walter White and william Pick
ems issued statements saying in part:
ut must have been the aim of the Commu-
mist agitators to deliberately muddle the affair
and stir up trouble (Pickens). And:
1--WE have feared trouble because of the man
ner in which the Communists have made bonn
bastic and empty statements in the Scottsboro
case" said Walter White. The same Mr. White
who in his article in the Nation quoted above
says: .-
1.-THE cause of the Phillips County (Elaine)
trouble, according to Governor Charles H.
Brough, was the circulation of what he consid-
cred incendiary Negro publications like The
Crisis, the official organ of the National Asso-
citation for the Advancement of Colored People"
That Mr.. White wrote in 1919 But now he
borrows the very same words of Elaines chief
lyncher and hurls them against the Commu-
nists
And yet only short time ago N. A. A. G. p.
leaders advocated Communism for the Negro
masses. Early in December last Walter White
addressed conference of liberals in New York
where he said
Il believe it would be better if more Negroes
were won to membership in the Communist
Party Then maybe the coiored race would be
more feared and respected"
And now, only six months later he severely
attacks the Communists in the Camp Hill and
Scottsboro cases.
