Mother!
You Are Remembered

"All that | am | owe to my moth
err" We have heard that expression
many. many times on Mothers day
and it never grows old as so many
other expressions that are used by
English speaking people everywhere.
It has meaning; deep meaning.
The strange part about it is the fact
that there are no superfluouS words.
From the word all" to the word
mother there is deep and true
meaning.
Who was the first person to take
troubles as her own? 1t was mother.
Who was the one to see us get on our
way to school? 1t was mother. Who
was the one who ironed out our
troubles and smoothed the wrinkles
on our childish browS inspiring us
to carry forth into beclouded flu
ture? It was, of course, mother.
And even after we grew to be men
and women, she did not give up her
desire to see that we enjoyed every
comfort it was possible for her to
give She truly made us what we
are today. She was the material
aid: she was the inspiration. All we
are we owe to her.
We must remember her on Moth
er's day even though many miles
separate us.

ROYAL Love

Many young men and young wom-
en- and yes, older men and women,
are making love these days, but no
love attracts like the royal love af-
fair of the former king, Edward,
(now Duke of Windsor) and Mrs.
Wallis Simpson Theirs is an all
consuming love; it consumes all of
the headlines.
Now, since Mrs. Simpsons final
divorce decree which made her alb
solutely free from a former husband,
her reunion with the man who gave
UP the throne of the worlds most
vast empire, has been described in
phrases such as were used to de-
scribe the wooing of princes and
princeSSeS of old.
The Duke of Windsor and Mrs.
Simpson met in the historic old castle
of De Cande at Monts, France, Tues
day and it is expected that they are
making plans for their wedding which
will possibly take place soon after
the coronation of King George vi
of England on May II. Of course,
American newspapers will not let us
forget about them until they are past
the sensational stage.
Well, of course we all like the
sensational, so why blame the news
papers for giving it to us?

more healthful than in Northern Min
nesota The ice leaves the lakes, the

countryside becomes veritable par

New Code Clear

excess of the zones posted is not
unreasonable nor imprudent," and,
therefore, unlawful. The new law,
when the zones are once posted, lends
to the enforcing official the assistance
of expert judgment which holds, as
posted on coming signs, that a speed
in excess of that posted is an unsafe
speed.
The second general misunderstand-
ing concerning the new traffic Con-
troll Act, Mr.. RoSenWald said, and
perhaps the one most vitality in need
of correction, is the impression which
has been created that the speed reg
ulations of the new law go into eff
feet Immediately and that the old
As mile prima facie evidence provis-
ion is automatically repealed in ia
vor of the 60 mile revision. This is
not true in any respect.
The new act is actually, insofar
as it applies to speed restrictions, an
enabling act, empowering the COM
missioner of highways to establish
limited speed zones. To be done
effectively and eXpertly, the estab-
lishment of such zones will require
considerable time and expert study
of each stretch of road in the IL 500
mile state trunk highway system.
Recognizing this fact, the Legis-
lature specified in the new act that
on any section of street or highway
outside of municipality, and where
no special hazard exists, until the
road shall have been zoned and
posted, speed of more than 80 miles
an hour in any business or residence
district, or of more than As miles
an hour under other conditions, shall
be prima facie evidence that the
speed sis not reasonable or prudent
and that it is unlawful"
Thus, it becomes obvious that the
old As mile an hour regulation re-
mains in effect under the prima facie
evidence provision on any road until
such time as that road shall have
been zoned and posted
Furthermore, the establishment
and posting limit zones will not re-
lieve the motorist of responsibility
for decreasing his speed below the
rate posted when approaching inter-
sections, crossings or Interests, when
rounding curves, travelling upon any
narrow or winding roadway, or when
conditions of traffic, highway sur
faces, or visibility make further re-
tarded speeds reasonable and pru-
dent as a means to avoid accidents.
Regulates Slow Driving.
On the other hand, the new traf-
fic act strikes at that other bane of
the average motorists existence, the
unreasonably slow driver, and pro-
hibits the driving of a motor vehicle
at a speed so slow as to impede or
block the normal and reasonable
movement of traffic"
Another disturbing factor to motor
traffic is met by provision requir-
ing the driver of an overtaken vehi-

Cleanup Time

AS usual this spring is no diff
ferent than other springs and the
usual winter litter can be seen in
backyards, alleyways and barnyards
This is no fault of the homeowner
or resident but it is just zone of those
things" However, the state fire mar
shal's office sends out timely sugges-
tions such as:
Removal of disease breeders.
Houses and yards should be in
spected, renovated, cleaned, painted
when necessary and grass seed sown.
Schools, public buildings and in
situations will be more attractive and
fire-safe by a general cleaning, both
internally and externally.
Rubbish should be removed from
vacant lots which can be transformed
into gardens and Fairgrounds.
Be careful with grass fires
This is truly cleanup time.

tell us how to farm-or how to skin
other taxpayers.
Mr.. Greenwald did not promise me
that he would not consider saving
taxpayers money if needed to help
helpless peOple-but Mr.. Nedegaard,
when canvassing in behalf of Mr..
Greenwald. assured me that if Mr..
Greenwald was elected he would sure
ly do justice. Then Mr.. Greenwald
was elected. In the first part of the
month of March Mr.. Nedegaard prom
ised to go with me to Pine City and
see the county commissioners in be-
half of Henry Christensen. Mr.. Nede
gard said he would call for me and
take me to Pine City the sixteenth
of March. l was dressed up in my
best buds waiting for Mr.. Nedegaard
to call for me. He has not shown
up yet. When | afterwards read in
the ASkOv American that Mr.. Nede-
gard had landed a well paying job
the same day from the county COM
missioners, l can readily understand
why it was not convenient for Mr..
Nedegaard to keep his promise to me.
! consider it disgrace to Pine county
to pay Mrs. Christensen $50 month
for shelter, board and care of helpless
Henry. She has borrowed money and
mOrtgaged her little twO-roOm cot
tage to have it sided and she has Dor
rowed money for medical treatment
for herself for rheumatism. Why
should Mrs. Christensen accept char
ity as long as she can do an excel
lent job for the county in caring for
Henry? | don't know of any other
county employee working 16 to "a
hours a day for 6614c a day. l am
told that l have bungled my work

have antagonized the county commits
sioners by demanding justice instead
of charity.
The above was typewriter too late
to reach the Askov American last

tant to win and be with the majority

Mr.. Nieboer did me the favor in
last weeks Askov American to hint
that l am reactionary. This really
does me good. 1t kind of helps to

A CANDIDATE WHO KEPT HIS
PROMISE

Editor Askov American:
In the Askov American for April
%. Mr.. John NiebOer wrote under the
above heading his opinions of two of
our county commissioners.
1t is not clear to my mind which
of the two Mr.. Nieboer considers kept
his promise.
Mr.. Patrick, who, according to Mr..
NiebOer'S statement in the Askov
American for April Is, did run for
county commissioner. Handicapped"
he said, "by advanced age and poor
conditions of farming, it had become
hard for him to support himself and
dependents. That was his reason for
seeking a better paying and easier
job" l suppose Mr.. Patrick has kept
his promise and collected his salary.
l don't know which of these two l
pity the most, however, Mr.. Patrick
was honest in stating frankly his pur-
pose. That on account of advancing age
he wanted better paying and easier
job. That Mr.. NiebOer and the MAORI
ty of the voters had no higher motive
in selecting county commissioner is,
in my opinion, on a lower standard
than we have a right to expect ac-
cording to intelligence supposed to
prevail in Pine county. And why
didn't think of running as am older
and feebler than the average of our
nine old men in Washington is a sur
prise to me today, and my pocketbook
needs lining too. However, the man
mentioned is in good company. He
is not the first nor the last that has
run on similar platform for county
commissioner.

sioners voted $500 for county agent.

A MOTHERS PLACE.

Editor Askov American:
We should think more of our
mother than we do of ourselves, OF
anyone else, because, mother is the
very much away from the family.
She is always in the house and
home while father is outside, and
very much away from the family.
AS is said, The mothers heart
is the child's schoOlroOm". So it is
but mother is not always to blame
for a child's errors and it hurts her
more, very much more. than it does
any one else on the whole earth when
she sees and hears of his wrongdo-
ings.
Again on the other hand. as the
child grows up. he will find the best
and truest, and most faithful COM
panion in a good mother. For he
can 90 to mother for advice and as
sistance, and she will be overjOyed
to think her own child has such conf
dence in her as to ask her advice: and
will give the kind of advice and as
sistance that she knows is best.
A child that has lost his mother
i'm early life is to lie pitied for the
loss. because he never can understand
what the word, mother, stands for,
if he has no mother for a Pal.
She is over-willing to share our sor-
rows and is always ready with kind
words and actions to tighten our
troubles.
When we were small, oh! what COM
fort we could find on mothers knee.
grow up there are thousands of ether
comforts she bestows upon us.
Then the question arises, What is
the Mothers Place." How many of
us stop to think what a wound we
make in mothers heart when we do
we know mother does net
want us to do? AS for instance, bob
cur treSses," which she has cared for
all these many years; CT reserved a
good reputation for us until we grew
up, and we trample upon so easily.
Why could we not place our mother
on the throne of our home and respect
her as the queen of our home? Be-
cause too soon does the Great Reaper
comes and parts us forever and ever,
never to meet again. only in dreams.
We can do it so easily if we wish
to do so.
