The EGYPTIAN Scarab

The Scarab is made of many sorts
OF stones. In many varieties of
stone the Egyptians copied the scar
abaeus or sacred beetle. The an
Gent Egyptians took the scarab
beetle for their symbol of creation.
They associated the symbol with
their god Khepera, who rolled the
sun across the sky as the beetle
rolled its egg. The Egyptians be-
ieved that by wearing the scarab
they absorbed the strength C crea-
ton.

dozen as do the teams outside TIE
cities.
Well, the Minneapolis teams were
complaining, too, that a seven-game
schedule didn't prepare them we'll
enough for the rigors of tournament
play and that they weren't on par
with the out of city teams. So the
city cagers went to work this year
and lined up an intensive pre-confer-
ence schedule against out-of-tOwn OPP
ponents. There's not a Minneapolis
team that will not have played a
dozen games by the time the tourna-
ment season rolls around
All these games showed Minneapo-
lis to good advantage and gave the
city boys the chance to prepare them
selves very we'll for what promises
to be the hottest city campaign in
years as we'll as increasing the state
wide interest in high school basket
ball no small bit
The Edison team made a fine show
ing against the champions of South
and North Dakota. It's just matter
of time before the city officials will
be looking for games with outstanding
high school teams in Wisconsin, Indi-
ana, Michigan, Illinois and Iowa
The same is true of high school
football. South went to Lincoln, Ne
braska, and made an impressive show
ing in One-sided victory. South next
fall will play at Hibbing in what
should be another grand game.
They're starting to travel and it
means that the Minnesota high schools
will be bidding for more glory. And.
incidentally, the educational advan-
tages are not bad either

Workers Alliance News
Sandstone Local
By MRS. PETER STULEN,
Educational Secretary.

The Sandstone local of the Workers
Alliance of America, will meet Fri
day evening, Jan. s, at the Shultz
home at Sandstone for the purpose OF
discussing the program and make ar
rangements for the demonstration at
Pine City January 9.
This demonstration will be nation
wide on that day when we will make
our demands for expansion of WPA
and protest the proposed cuts in WPA.
Other demands are increase in wages
and improved conditions and regula-
tions of WPA workers.
All members of our local and all
WPA workers and unemployed of this
community are invited to attend this
meeting and to take part in the DEM
onstration January 9.
| wish further to invite all church
groups and church boards to respond
to the call recently issued by the
Council for Action of Congregational
and Christian churches, militant
call parallelling the demands of the
WAA.
We will greatly appreciate your
help if you will send protests of the
proposed cuts in WPA rolls to the
President, White House, Washington,
d. c.; to Representatives, House Of
flee Building, Washington, D. c.; and
your Senators, Senate Office Building,
Washington, d. c.
Refuting the assertion that the
WPA cuts are warranted by improved
business conditions and re-emplOy-
ment, the council cites figures, and
Harry Hopkins quotes the same fig
ures, showing that even if production
! is returned to the 1929 level there
will still remain six and one-half mil
lion unemployed.
The desire to balance the budget
| is offered as Justification of these
cuts in WPA, but we believe that to
economiZe at the cost of human suf-
fering is intolerable.
We must remind the President of
his campaign promises that I'VE will
provide useful work for the needy I'M
employed" Eight hundred and eighty
three million dollars were paid out
in dividends in the month of No
vember while millions of unemployed
are asking for the opportunity to earn
living.
Our governor, Elmer A. Benson, in
his inaugural speech stated: 1.-The
greatness of a nation is not measured
by the amount of millionaires it has,
but by it's standard of living for its
people,"
1t is not patriotic to starve.

HANS j. HANSEN

Hans j. Hansen was born at Cedar
Falls, Iowa, June %, 1882, and lived
there until 1921. He married Marie
Kirstine Jorgensen in 1907. In 1921
the family moved to Askov where
they lived for Is years.
On account of Mr. Hansen's poor
health they thought it best to move
to milder climate, so went to Oregon
in November of last year and settled
on a small farm near Junction City.
Mr.. Hansen's condition gradually grew
worse and he peacefully passed away
in his sleep Friday, December %.
He leaves to mourn his passing his
wife and his son, Hans Christian. He
was laid to rest in the Danish Gem
etery at Junction City on December
"a, the funeral services being held at
2 p. m. The pallbearers were Malius
Hansen, Knud and Elmer Plesner, Ben
Lund, Eald Sorensen and Sigurd
Nielsen, all former Askovites.

night, despite a college hockey game
i'm st. Paul and a good fight crowd
at the Minneapolis auditorium, the
best attendance of the season was
recorded at the Arena where st. Paul
handed Minneapolis to 1 defeat.
The second night saw the arena
nearly packed for the second game of
the nnesota-Darmouth series,
which topped previous series with
Princeton and Yale in the matter of
attendance and excitement.
The state colleges and high schools
in the Twin Cities are playing more
hockey than in recent years. Duluth
is having a great season as we'll as
the rest of the international league
and Junior college loop.
Hockey always has been popular in
Minnesota. Only during recent years
has it slumped. But with the in
creased interest in all other sports,
as manifested by the better crowds
of the past few months, hockey, too,
is getting it's share of the returns.
Yes, it's making a comeback and a
good one at that.
City Cagers Tougher.
TIE basketball teams outside the
city who have managed to rule the
state tournaments for so many years
can expect a stronger bid from Min
neapolis high schools this season.
The ban on out-of-town games has
finally been Lifted and, as result,
the Minneapolis props have played a
/ total of q games before even starting
their own conference campaign.
1t has long been the wall of out
state teams that the Minneapolis
tournament entries have soft touch,
that they only had to play the seven
conference games to determine the
district winner that advances to the
regional. They say seven games ism
enough, that they should play at least

Snow StOpS School.

After being closed for the custom
airy Christmas vacation the local
school was back in full swing Mon
day morning; but the full swing
didn't last long as snow storm made
it advisable to send the children home
about 2:3O o'clock; and the storm kept
right on going so that there was no
school at all on Tuesday, and yester-
day there was only about SO per cent
attendance.
Returning from her Christmas vaca-
ton, Miss Huldah Films train to the
Cities was delayed three hours by
snow and thus she missed connections
to Askov and didn't get here before
Monday noon. Miss SOlveig UtOft did
not return on schedule as her father
is critically ill at this time. Sew
eral of the buses are experiencing
difficulty in making their routes on
schedule on account of the deep and
drifting snow.
