GERMAN PEASANTS Will FEEL IRON HEEL OF
FASCIST REGIME, HITLER WARNS In SPEECH
MRS. OSTBY'S REPLY TO
PLENTYWOOD PASTOR

In "Our Young People, Sunday |
School paper, printed in Minheapo-
lis, April 2, there appears part
of a letter written by a young
pastor in Montana. Without a
doubt the letter is written by
pastor in Plentywood and the
strong red paper and it is real
poison" is meant to be the Pro-
ducers News.
We take the STRONG red paper"
as a compliment, but like to have
this pastor or any other pastor,
explain what is meant by the word
"real poison" Telling the truth
would be "real poison" to the
devil. for instance. Telling the
truth is "real poison" to the people
robbing the farmers and workers
of everything they have. ceiling
the truth about a pastor chasing
hungry women from his door is
"real poison" for the pastor who
does it.
If that is what the pastor means
by "real poison" then the Pro-
ducers Nwes will take it as an
other compliment and plead guilty
to using it, and using it without
fear even if somebody's feelings
are hurt by it.
On the other hand if by using
the wcrd "real poison" the pastor
means TO say that the Producers
News is lying, then we want him
or any other pastor to prove it tt
us. 1t would simply be their
CHRISTIAN duty to do so. We DOM
intend to turn the Producers News
into a Sunday school paper, bu
if we are printing things that arr
not so we want to b corrected, Ou
columns are open and pastors ar
especially invited.

One of our leading organizers gives many
important pointers on the organization OF

directives should be studied carefully and

Regular meetings of the local are OF the
utmost Importance. Unless meetings are held
regularly the organization soon falls to pieces.
Meetings should be held at least once month.
Every two weeks is much better.
Each local should have an Executive Coun-
Gil and Secretary. The Secretary, OF course,
is member of the Executive Council, which
may be composed of three, five, seven or more
members. Five usually makes good working

NO AUTOCRATIC LEADERSHIP

The Executive Council is the leadership of
the organization, but not in the usual sense
that the executive gives orders which the rank
and file follow out There is no place for such
autocratic leadership in the United Farmers
League Instead, the Executive prepares plans
and proposals, according to local requirements,
which are submitted to the membership for
discussion and action
Of course, it is not to be assumed that
proposals are to come only from the Executive.
Proposals must come from the rank and file
and orders must come from the rank and file.
But certain kind of leadership is necessary.
This leadership subject to the rank and file,
is provided by the Executive Council.

Meetings of the local are always better il
an order of business is prepared in advance.
This preparation should be done by TIE Execu-

it may be accepted or altered or amended by

The Secretary's position is important. He

Preparatory and Junior Col
Iege Instruction Offered
at Seminary.

The Mount Vernon Seminary opens
its doors for day students in both the
Preparatory School and the Junior
College September 26. The school has
always been progressive in spirit al
though it follows a firmly rooted ira
dition that clings to the classical cul-
ture and conservative ideals Of young
womanhood Emphasis Is upon indi-
vidual rather than group instruction.
The number of students and faculty
are maintained at such relative pro-
portions as to make 1t possible to es-
tablish relationships with the faculty
members In both academic and social
life.
IN the opinion Of the schools pres
ent authorities, the vision of the
founder Of Mount Vernon Seminary,
Mrs. Elizabeth j. Somers. has been
vindicated in the growth Of the junior
college movement. From its founding
in 1875, Mount Vernon Seminary has
maintained a four-year high school
course and two years Of college work,
which has been recognized by ad-
vanced standing granted to its gradu-
>ates.
A modified tutorial system charac-
terizes the Junior College. Each stu
dent has her counsellor who studies
her problems and watches her prog
ress. There are only two required
courses-one in the history Of civiliza-
ton and the other in comparative
literature. Electives are chosen In
support Of the students particular

home economics or literary expression.
