BY A. /. HARRIS

A program is now under way to
provide useful employment to $4,000
persons who at the present time
have no productive work to do and
at the same time rehabilitate them
under improved living conditions.
This is only one of the many prob
lens being tackled by the reforesta-
ton committee of the state planning
board working on solution Of diff
ficulties now prevalent in the cut
over regions of IA northeastern Min
nesota counties.
Other problems include the remov-
ing of people from relief and de-
creasing thusly one of the states
most acute relief headaches; reliev-
ing taxpayers of the excessive bur-
den created by abandoned land, tax
delinquency and in many instances
the high cost of local government
taking of 100000 acres of non
productive land and making it pro-
duce; replenishing of depleted for
est resources to insure permanent
future wealth source; Stabilizing OF
employment in a region that now has
wide seasonal and periodic fluctua-
tons in industry.

WPA officials in Washington are
studying a project offered them last
week at the insistence of Governor
Benson which will be used to put
fighters in the field against the SER
iously threatened army worm infesta-
ton in northern Minnesota, as well
as to aid storm struck areas in the
south to clean up.
The project was submitted through
the state department of agriculture.
Commissioner Charles Ommodt will
superintend the work in cooperation
with WPA officials, according to the
plan The Federal body has been
asked for S89,475, to be matched by
$19,375 of state emergency funds to
provide necessary emergency labor
and materials where life and property
are endangered by storms, insects and
floods.
Most of the Federal funds asked
will 60 for employment of labor dur
ing future emergencies-preferably
local labor or farmers in the af-
fected areas. The state would fur
nish funds for the purchase of mater
ials.

The Republicans appear to be in
pretty much of dilemma on what
to do with the 26 year old Brainerd
chap by the name of c. Elmer An
derson, who happens to be their cam
didate for lieutenant governor.
The story of how Anderson got
to be there has leaked out. 1t sounds
like a big, gruesome joke on some
body.
The high moguls of the Republic
can party, the story goes, wanted j.
Russell Sweitzer, st. Paul veteran, as
their candidate for lieutenant gov
ernor. Sweitzer was opposed by
George w. Johnson of Duluth. They
figured, however, that Johnson would
take Sweitzer.
The wise" boys got their heads
together and induced young Ander-
son to file in order to take votes away
from Johnson and thus assure the
nomination of Sweitzer. Result: An
derson not only licked Johnson, but
he took Sweitzer to the cleaners as
well.
And now they have on their hands
a boy scarcely out of his teens who,
under no condition, can be put upon
the same platform with Stassen. The
combination would queer the whole
show. Furthermore, they can't even
send Anderson out to make speeches
because he is too, well-'nuff said.
So they are trying desperately, it
is reported, to get rid of Anderson
in some way or another. Rumors are
rife of horse trading. Any old trade
that will get rid of Anderson seems
to be the state of mind. But the fly
in the ointment is that Anderson says
he will stay put" He has the po-
litical bee in his bonnet and he will
not be side-tracked by anybody. He
won the endorsement for lieutenant
governor without making a speech
and without a single election card
so he has nothing to worry about.

Webster May Submit to
 Licking by Cub

With Tundra" coming to the Capitol Theatre this week, one of the most interested persons in the audience will be Bob Webster, char acter actor with Norman Dawn here, who produced Tundra and is planning Golden River with Webster as the central figure.
 What Webster will be interested in is the antics of two cub bears who furnish the comedy in the pie ture that steals the show. Reason: As soon as the bears pop out Of their dens this spring, couple of cubs similar to those in Tundra will be captured for use in Golden River" = in one scene of which Webster will be drunk" and with honey on his face, will be sub jected to a licking" from a honey loving cub which scene Web ster is admittedly not crazy about Producer Norm a n Dawn has warned Webster that occasionally a cub bear (playful ordinarily, but high strung and sharp of tooth) will interrupt his licking with g little snap of his teeth"
 Maybe I can find a stand-ir for that part" Webster said hope fully today.
