PERMANENT PEACE
| CALLED GREATEST
TRIBUTE TO DEAD
Memorial Service Speaker
Recalls Horrors OF
World Conflict

Declaring permanent peace to
be a greater tribute to the soldier
dead than any number of monu-
ments erected in their memory
and services in their honor, Cap
tain Tom Moss of the Episcopal
church was the speaker at the un-
ion Memorial service held Sunday
morning in the Methodist church.
Recalling his life in England
during the World War, he was
able to paint vivid picture of
airplane raids, the danger of
channel crossings and the great
number of war-wrecked men and
boys who returned to the island
from the battlefields on the con-
tinent.
''The horrors of war and the ac-
companying privations and sor-
rows should be so thoroughly en-
phasized to our children" Captain
Moss said, "that there could be no
possibility of another conflict"
"The civic freedom we enjoy now
has been made possible by the sac
rifices of the heroes of past wars
he continued, ''by the desire for
religious freedom on the part of
our forefathers and the demand
for equal privileges for all which
is Incorporated in our constitution.
What greater acknowledgement of
our debt to those who have gone
before could we make than the es-
tablishment of lasting peace
based on the teachings of Jesus
Christ.
Rev. G. E. Martin was in charge
of the services in which Rev. Os-
car Joneson and DIR. j. P. Linn al
so took part. Miss Evelyn Shank
with Mrs. H. v. Starr at the or

Man browns
in Saganaga
STORM CAPSIZED BOAT
IN 800 FEET OF
ICY WATER

A searching party of 20 Tuesday
was still attempting to recover the
body of Martin Schaumburg, 81,
of Montevideo who was drowned
Saturday in the icy waters of
Lake Saganaga, 60 miles north of
Grand Marais. Schaumburg, wide
ly acquainted in Redwood Falls,
drowned in 800 feet of water when
sudden storm capsized the boat
from which he was fishing. Two
companions in the boat, Elmer
Swanson of the Northern States
Power company and Sam News
tone, also of Montevideo, were
saved.
In a party of eight, the three
men were being towed behind a
launch when a high wind hit the
lake, breaking the tow line and
turning the boat. Schaumburg ap-
peared to have become unconscious
as he first struck the water, and
twice his companions pulled him
up on the overturned boat, only to
have him slip off. The five who
were in the launch sped the heav-
lily loaded boat to shore, where
three of them remained while Cap
tain Lewis and DR.. Wellman went
back to the rescue.
1t was too late to save Schaum-
d burg, but Newstone was pulled in
to the boat and Swanson, a 25O
pound man, was pulled through
the water to land when it was
found impossible to get him into
the launch. Both men are suffer-
ing from shock and exposure.
Schaumburg, bank cashier and
agent for the Mutual Life Insur-
ance company of New York, is
survived by his wife and three
children of Montevideo and his
parents of Lester Prairie. He was
son-in-law of j. J. Sullivan,
warden of Saltwater prison.

listed in relief work among the vic
Tins of the disaster. The girls
were studying before class the
the morning the tornado lashed
the city, the letter relates, the vio-
lent wind descending with weird
noise.
"The noise became louder and
louder" the letter reads. "Soon a
girl came running up into the din
ing hall. She was yelling that a
tornado was coming and we were
told to go down stairs. We did so
not knowing what it was all about.
"We got downstairs just in time.
Several girls in the dormitory
were struck by glass. One girl
fell down and another was knock
ed out. We all clustered together.

Winter Takes Heavy
Toll OF Fish Here

Thousands of dead fish line the
shadows along Lake Redwood as
spring and the ice breakup brings
to light the toll of an extremely
severe winter. The larger per-
centage of fish in Lake Redwood
and the river, consistently stocked
for many years, are dead, sports
men say. Lack of oxygen under
the unusually heavy ice is believed
to be the cause.
L. L. Daniels, commercial fish
erman, has had no fish in his
traps for several days, an indica-
ton that even hardy carp no long
er infest the lake. Crappies, bass,
carp and suckers are among the
dead fish found.
A crew of National Youth ad-
ministration boys will assist Lyle
Tweet, game warden, in burning
the fish.
Ice went out of the lake We'd
nesday, Apri1~46 which is said to
be the latest breakup in years.
