Many National Industrial Leaders Responsible,
 Declares Speaker

RICHMOND, Va, Dec 28. - Dr Paul Schroeder, of Chicago, told the American Association for Ad- vancement of Science at meeting last night, that many national in- dustrial leaders were indirectly re- sponsible for the majority of crimes committed in the United States
 Dr. Schroeder said the slums around factories produce most of the criminals, both old and young.
 There is a fairly regular decrease in crime rate, he said, among chil- dren as families move to better resi- dential sections.

CHICAGO, III, Dec. 28-Zona Gale, novelist, best known for her portrayal of life in small midwestern towns, is dead here in hospital as the result of pneumonia at the age of 65 years. Her best known work, Miss Lulu Bett," won the Pulitzer prize in 1921 and the play had a long and successful run, both in New York and on the road
 Zona Gale believed that since she wrote about folks in small towns she must live in one.
 Therefore, home" for her, was Portage, Wis, where she was born Aug. 26, 1874. Living in Portage, she could make practical application of her credo that the middle west is unsurpassed as place for the crea- tive artist to live and work.
 How can an artist function in New York, with so few hours and SC much food-or so little?" she once asked.
 And her function" was not only the writing of novels and plays, but an active participation as well irl the affairs of her city and her state Her years of greatest service coin- cided with the rise of the late Sen- ator Robert M LaFollette and witt the growth in political influence o1 his two sons, Philip and Robert.
 In private life she was Mrs. Will liam Breese, her husband being a manufacturer and banker of Port age. They were married in 1929
 A prolific writer, Miss Gale never theless found time to speak wher one of the LaFollettes was cam paigning. At first, she made politi- cal talks before clubs and civic meetings. Later, she used the radio frequently This in addition to the writing of more than seven books and two plays.

CUTTER ALERT TAKING THREE
 TO HOSPITALS
Rheumatism, Broken Leg, Baby, Send Coast Guard
 on Another Job

A few days ago off the storm toss- ed shores of bleak Gulf of Alaska coast, Coast Guardsmen were bat- ting heavy seas to save men who had been wrecked-a heroic and I mantle picture to contemplate. but yesterday and today, the cutter Alert, out of Ketchikan, was "sav- ing" a man with rheumatism. a woman with broken leg, and g woman expecting a baby.
 The Alert was proceeding to Ju- ueau, but wire was received from the radio operator at Cape Pole on Koskiusko Island that fisherman there was in desperate condition with rheumatism that demanded immediate hospital attention. Tho Alert proceeded to Cape Pole and picked up the sick man for hospit- alization at Wrangell.
 Just before picking up this fish, erman, a wire was received from Port Alexander, where Mrs. Ralph Hilmer, fisherman's wife, had "in- jured herself in a fall and needed doctor"
 When the Alert arrived there this morning, Mrs. Hilmer was found to have a broken leg. and another wo- man, expecting a child, was also in need of hospital attention.
 And so, according to wires receive ed by the Haida today from the Alert, one fisherman with rheumat- ism not so bad as first reported" !" is being taken to 2 hospital one woman with a broken leg and an. other with baby coming, are also going to hospital.
 Not especially heroic or romantic in the common sense of the word. but 1t is still another little saga of the sea with the Coast Guard building the tale.

Add Free Parking
Space for IS Cars
GANDRUDS AND SHELL
OFFER LOTS NEAR
CENTER OF TOWN

Two much-needed contribu-
tions to city parking facilities
have been made recently.
The Gandrud Creamery COM
pany has donated a good-sized
tract just east of its building
which will take care of about so
cars. The firm has generously
offered to put up flood light for
the parking space and will pro-
vide a sign which is already
painted but not yet in place. The
city furnished gravel for the lot.
Across the street, Cloyce Long
of the Shell oil station has just
completed leveling a parking lot
east of the station building. He
believes it will accommodate 35
cars.
In neither case will any charge
for parking be made, both lots
being provided to alleviate Red
wood Falls worst problem" and
offer convenience to out-of-town
shoppers.

guests of the girls, greatly enjoy
ed the little luncheon.
Miss Holland is the teacher
these days for the ninth grade
English class. More work is being
done in Library Orientation.
The eighth grade General
Science Class has started its new
unit of work, namely, "How I'M
portant Are Plants?" In the study
of this unit we learn of what iv-
ing cells are composed-what the
difference is between living and
non-living things.
The kind of work done by
plants is most fascinating. We
worked hard on finding reference
material that would help us to
partially understand the miracle
that takes place in the growth of
plants-known to the scientific
world as photosynthesis. We came
to the conclusion that no greater
miracle was ever possible. That
even in this very modern age
scientists have not yet discovered
some of the mysteries of nature.
The class as a whole was signi-
ficantly impressed with the
thought that only God could sat
isfactoHly account for the dain-
tiness of the for-get-me-not on
the one hand and the mighty
strength of the oak on the other.
There are many phases of Cen
eral Science that cause us to have
a most sacred regard for our
Creator. AS we travel along in
this unit we shall learn the mar
velous ways in which plants get
their foods, the parts of flower
and the function of each, how
plants terminate, how trees diff

Nj oaC -As4A0o A4ol4oSA1
During our Science classes we
have read many interesting stor-
les telling how to be friends of
the birds. We learned the proper
way to make a bird bath and also
feeding boxes. Some of us are in
ducing the birds to come to our
yards this spring by building bird
baths and lunch counters. On the
miniature sandtable in our room
we have a scene containing a
martin house, lunch counter, a
feeding box and methods illus
trating ways in which we can be
friends with the birds.
We have tried to make our
room cheerful for the Easter sea-
son. Our various borders consist
of spring flower pictures with
poems about these flowers-The
Pasque Flower, Marsh Marigold,
Jack-in-the-Pulpit, and Dutch
mans Breaches; an April rain
scene; Easter Dummies; pictures of
Easter Dummies, lilies etc.; a chart
telling the story of the Easter
Rabbit; and flower boxes contain
ing orchid, pink and white hya-
cinths which we made during art
class.
Our new Spelling Chart con-
sists of a bird house scene con-
tanning the caption "Wil You
Have Bird Friend" Each of us
made a kind of bird in the color
we liked best containing our
name. If we receive an ga" we
will have our bird friend come
to our bird house.
