MY sweetheart in 1934's fiction
N1 is Cynthia Pattern.
I admit being desperately in
love with this fine, imaginative
young lad~ whom I met on the
first page of Patterns of Wolf
pen" as she sat on the pinnacle of
sandstone in a valley in the Ken
lucky mountains in 1885.
Cynthia came from stock that
had withstood a century of life
in the Kentucky mountains and
she understood the hardships her
great-great-g grandfather Saul ex-
perienced when he first strobe
through the wilderness spying out
the land.
Cynthia is the brain child of
Harlan Hatcher and the Bobbs-
Merrill Co. has the honor of
putting Cynthia on the printed
page.
She was the daughter of Spar
rel and Julia Pattern, who lived
with their children on 5000 acres
of hills and valleys surrounding
Wolfpen Bottoms.
You see Spared through Gym
thia'S eyes as he prepared to APP
ply modern steampower to the
old water wheeled mill of Grand
father Saul.
This introduction of a new
force in WOlfpen Bottoms COM
pletely changed the quiet and
simple living of the Patterns and
all around them.
The Patterns inherited all the
natural virtues of their ancestors
and cooking was one of thes great
assets of the Pattern homestead,
just as much as going to church
on Sunday when a preacher was
present, and that wasn't often
enough in those days.
Day by day the reader lives
with Spared, Julia, Cynthia and
the boys in this natural heaven
of great forest where life in the
house followed closely the method
used by Grandfather Saul and
his remarkable Wife.
TINE forests were virgin but.
Il One day a stranger came
and proposed to Spared that he
lease to a great Pittsburgh COM
pany the right to cut down the
trees and float the lumber down
the river into the great milling
sections.
Spared had no rule to follow,
but the money looked more i'm
portant than the great human
forest which stood as it did hun
dreds of years ago.
Then modern life with its
struggles, problems, disease and
fights invaded Wolfpen and Gym
thia saw her fine, traditional life
go smashing to bits.
The thrush of civilization with
its power and greed resulted in the
death of her mother and the bru-
tai murder of her father.
But out of this chaos came ro-
nance ana real love 10 cynthia.
Never have I been jealous of
character in fiction before, but
I am of Reuben Warren, a sur
veyor, who married and protected
Cynthia from the abuses of
modern life.
To me, the author has created a
symphony of real life in Pat
terms of Wolfpen." II is a blend
of fantasy, tradition and fact
that makes this book one of the
real masterpieces of the year.
If you read only one book or a
hundred next year, be sure and
read this one.

Proponents Of renewal of Brit
aims airship policy point to the
success of Germany's Graf Yep
pelin on her fortnightly run TO
South America.
1t was the disaster of the R-l0l
in 1880 that decided Britain to
abandon an airShip policy. That
wreck was the elimination of years
of few successes and many dis
asterS. 1t was the only thing needed
to make the government wash its
hands of airships with a sigh OF
relief

AS far back as 1902 Britain had

however, prevented its development.
and two great envelopes were the
only evidences of it.
Britain's first airShip was built in
1907, the Multi SecunduS." She
flew from Marlborough to London
at 18 miles an hour, and sailed
around Buckingham Palace and st.
Paul's Cathedral
BY 1910 there was another small
ship. the Beta" but it was not
until 1911 that Britain had her first
rigid airship. known as His Maj
estys Airship No. /. She broke
her back, and an admiralty con-
ference in 1912 decided to abandon
airship construction.
Britain then relied on non-rgids
bought from other countries, and
when the war broke out there we're
about half dozen.
Britain had practically no ex-
perience of rigid airShips during the
war, and when the armistice was
signed she owned 103 airships nearly
all non-rigids. They have been
scrapped.

Then the series of RIO airships

States had agreed TO buy her. She

There are two main objections
to building airships for CONNER

they can not stand rough weather.

ASKOV DEFEATS THE
DUQUETTE TOSSERS

The Askov baseball team went to
Kerrick Sunday where it played the
team from Duquette and won by a
score of to 4. The Duquette boys
seemed to be unable to shake off the
oneinning jinx which has followed
them all season and this coupled with
the steady baseball played by AskOv
was too much for the north county
boys. The game was featured by a
nice pitching duel between Eriksen
of Askov, and Johnson of Duquette.
The Duquette pitcher held Askov
scoreless until the sixth. Eriksen of
Askov, pitched steady ball throughout
the game and worked more effectively
after the sixth inning. Olesen of
Askov, led the hitting, getting three
hits out of five trips to the plate.
The Duquette boys will give Askov
a return game at Askov Sunday, Sept
2, at 2:3O p. m. This is expected to
be a good game as Duquette will
be out for revenge.

CLOVERTON HAY
BURNS SATURDAY
Threshing Machine Sets Fire Which
Nearly Destroyed Everything on
Hahn Place.

Appreciation is in the hearts of the
w. ]. Hahn family of near Clover
ton, for the fine work accomplished
by neighbors when several hay stacks
caught on fire from a gas threshing
tractor.
The fire started Saturday when the
rig was threshing in the barn yard
near six large tame hay stacks. In
some manner one of the stacks be-
came ignited and was all ablaze with
in a few minutes. A call for help
was Immediately given over the phone
and soon there were more than 25
men at the Hahn home to assist in
fighting the blaze. The horses, after
much difficulty, were taken from the
barn which faced the burning hay
and the men sprayed the barn to keep
it from burning. The threshing ma
chine caught fire but was pulled away
before it was destroyed. The hay,
straw and granary with about 25
bushels of oats were burned.
Mr.. Hahn has about 35 head of
cattle and horses, but with what hay
he has left and what he has yet to
put up in the meadows he expects
to be able to feed them.
C. H. Ayers, who is past "a years
of age, assisted in pumping water to
fight the fire.

ASkOv Schools to
Begin Fall Term on
Monday, Sept. Bird

The long vacation is about over. The
Askov school will open its doors for
the fall term on Monday, September
3. The first day will be given over
to the registration of pupils and all
will be dismissed at noon. The buses
will take pupils to school in the morn
ing on the same time schedule as
last year and return at IL o'clock or
a little before. The afternoon will
be used by the teachers for construct
ing their permanent programs.
All pupils are strongly urged to be
present Monday morning for registra-
tiOn. Failure to do so may in some cases
especially in the high school, cause
difficulties in getting the work they
should have as making changes in a
program when once completed is
fraught with much trouble.
On Saturday afternoon the school
house will be open for teachers who
at that time may wish to construct
their temporary programs, obtain sup
plies and, in general, get ready for
Mondays work.
No registration on Saturday.
The inside of the school house
looks almost new and quite festive.
l think we all will be glad to meet
again and see how much we still re-
member of last years work. 1t is
always pleasant to see assembled the
many familiar faces, and to spy an
occasional face that is not familiar.

INTERNATIONAL
NEWS REVIEW
BY GEORG STRANDVOLD

In connection with last Sundays
election" of Chancellor Adolf Hitler
as Leader" of the German nation the
most interesting feature is not the
overwhelming majority he received at
the polls, but the increase of the OPP
position vote over that of November
~, 1888.
Under the circumstances the result
was, of course, foregone conclusions:
When President Paul Won Hindenburg
died on August 2, Hitler, disregard
ing constitutional provisions, elevated
himself to the post of Leader; out
of Difference to Won Hindenburg's
memory he did not want to become
known as president, but here the title
matters nothing-it is the fact that
counts, and the fact is that Hitler
actually made himself the successor
of Won Hindenburg.i
Ratification.
To give his elevation and his in
fraction of the constitution popular
approval Hitler Immediately decided
to submit the question of his "elec-
ton" to ratification by the people. AS
there are no other parties than Hit
ler's own national socialistic, there
could be no rival candidates; the
chancellor had the field all to himself.
1t thus became necessary to vote
either yes in approval of the lone can
didate, or no in disapproval, the eX-
pectation being that the ayes would
have it. They did, for approximately
80 million German voters gave him
their yes; about 100000 voted no,
and pretty close to million votes
were declared invalid, indicating, ap-
parently, that they had not been in
tended for Hitler.
Sundays plebiscite, then, shows
that all opposition in Germany has
not yet been crushed; it is beginning
to rear its head, and it may be that
the Leader and Chancellor"-as Hit
Ter now calls himself-will interpret
this fact as an indication that abso-
lutte dictatorship is not a thing of
permanence.
Patriotic and political unity has
been the great goal of Hitler; during
the last few months he has found on
several occasions that while his party
for the time being may enjoy an un-
disputed monopoly. dissension is be-
ginning to be heard, and many of the
parties and groups suppressed evil
IDENTIFY are paving the way for a new
self-assertion which may, ultimately,
spell the doom of nazism. If one
were to forecast the approximate
time of the downfall of Hitlerism, one
would be guilty of an ill-founded OPP
timism, but signs and portents show
Enthusiastically enough that the fateful
day will come-sOme time.
Last Sundays opposition vote is a
healthy indication of sanity among
the Germans new proof of the Lin
coin saying about the impossibility
of fooling "all the people all the
Time. Continued on Page p
