Remember the Red Cross program
tonight at the D. B. S. hall.

Sunday and Monday.
Mrs. Carlo Reche, nee Regina Jes.
sen, came from Minneapolis Monda,
for a visit at the home of her parents
Mr.. and Mrs. And. p. lessen.
Henry Petersen, who has been doing
trucking at Kimballton, Iowa, came

of his parents. Mr.. and Mrs. Jorgen
r. Petersen.
Mrs. Nels Andersen who is staying
at the Conrad Christensen home. has
been confined to her bed for the past
three weeks on account of weak
heart and general weakened condi-
tion.
Mr.. and Mrs. Soren Jensen, north
east of town. are for the time being
living at the home Of their son, Law
renee Jensen. in the village. A little
later they plan on a trip to Nebraska
and Colorado where they will likely
spend most of the winter visiting old
friends and relatives. Carl D1xen is
taking care of their farm.
Richard Petersen had an accident
Sunday night when nearing the five
mile corner south of Askov. 1t is
thought that something happened to
the mechanism in the steering con-
etruction of his Pontiac coach which
caused it to get beyond control and
go into the ditch where it tipped over
smashing both front tenders. Very
little other damage was done.
While Mr.. and Mrs. N. p. Nedegaard
and family and Bernhard Henriksen
were returning from Finlayson Sum-
day at between 5 and O'Clock they
were met east of the five mile corn
er by two men in another car. In
some unknown manner the approach
ing car collided with the Nedegaard
car damaging the front end and run
ming board considerably. No one was
injured.
Miss Regina and Henry Petersen
motored to Minneapolis Monday for a
visit with their father, j. r. Petersen,
at the University hospital. Henry re-
turned home the same day accompa-
MED by Mrs. Petersen who had been
there since Mr.. Petersen was operated
upon. Regina remained to seek en-
ployment. Mr.. Petersen's condition at
the latest reports is very favorable
and he expects to be back home in a
short time.
The local unit of the American Red
Cross has held sewing meetings the
past two Mondays at the home of Mrs.
Svend Petersen. There were actually
four meetings-twO afternoons and
two evenings. Many women have do
mated their services at these meet
ings, and a great amount of the ma
terial has been donated locally.
All old garments are repaired or re-
modelled and then distributed to those
who are in need. Mrs. A. Henriksen,
Mrs. A. G. DanielsOn, and Mrs. Svend
Petersen constituted the committee in
charge of sewing and distribution of
the finished goods and they have made
several trips throughout their district
seeking information as to where aid
is needed and then rendering such aid
in the shortest possible time. The
work of the committee as well as all
those who have helped them is indeed
laudable.
The local unit of the American Red
Cross. like all other units in the
United States. is making special eff
forts during the period from Armis-
tice Day till Thanksgiving Day for
securing memberships. Membe' ship
drives of various kinds are being put
on; in the Askov unit committee
consisting of Mrs. A. Henriksen and
Mrs. ]. c. Jensen, with some helpers,
have so far secured over 80 members.
this number however ought to be
doubled in order to come near the
quota allotted for this community.
Out of the membership of 81, so cents
remains in the local treasury and is
to be expended entirely for local re-
lief purposes. Donations of amounts
less than dollar are also cheerfully
accepted. And the few who can give
more than a dollar should remember
that regardless of what amount they
give only so cents is sent in to the
national headquarters and every thing
over that remains at home for local
relief. In addition to the committee
the local officers will also gladly ac-
cept your membership; the local Of
ficers are DIR. A. L. Arends, president;
Miss Emily Jensen, secretary; and
Miss Sigrid Jensen, treasurer. The
American Red Cross is one society
created for the sole purpose of aiding
those in need and makes no destinc-
tion whatever between religious or
political beliefs-it is truly an organ
ization which all Americans should
join If they possibly can afford it.
