Fergus Falls-Occupants of the

one morning recently by what
seemed to be an earthquake, or at
least a cyclone. Following a ter
rifle crash, the front wall of the
structure caved in and the plas-

a cloud Of dust. Mr.. Norheim, an
elderly gentleman who has a
room on the first floor. was sleep

up against the wall which receiv-
ed the impact. The bed skidded
across the room and came to an

Their collective effort points
steadily in the direction of human
itarianism, common sense, and the

people needing them and whose
buying power in turn is needed by
the industries to produce the

The Greatest Gift of ALL

Christmas is the happiest of all holidays of the
year, affecting both young and old with spirit of
good cheer and friendliness.
This feeling is expressed by the giving of gifts,
by the gathering of families and friends, and the
wish for peace on earth, good will to all men,"
With European and Asiatic nations at war; with
other seemingly inevitable through the lust and
greed for more land and power; with dictators pac
ing the heel of mitarism burdened peoples; this
Christmas and its teachings should shine as
a guiding light for peace among men.
This mellowing season stands for service to man.
kind and of the free giving of plenty with which
you have been blessed unto those less fortunate.
Humanity was given the greatest gift to man.
kind in Old Bethlehem, when the Saviour of Man
was born in a lowly manger. All gifts of mere man
since then have been insignificant by comparison.
The prophets of old foretold His coming: For
unto a child is BORN unto son is given and
the government shall be on His shoulders; and His
shall be called Wonderful Counselor, the
Mighty God, the Everlasting Father; the Prince of
Peace
Events during the past twenty odd years have
shaken the faith of some men-but He that doeth
all things well will guide humanity to peace and hap
pness again Christmas brings that message of cheer
and peace to all.

iety. We have seen plays without
scenery, a light-hearted fantasy
about death, and several dramas
of more than usual significance
The prevailing trend seems to be

form of dramatic entertainment
The frothy, inconsequential COM
edies are conspicuously absent
from this years list. While none
of the ten best plays is drab or
heavy, they all seem to possess a
centain beauty of substance, which
will undoubtedly make this 1887

ant of Mr.. Mantle's dramatic year
books.
In addition to the ten most
representative plays, which are
included by excerpt and summary
the volume lists the full casts for
each production of the year, the
number of performances each play
has achieved, the date on which
it opened and the theatre in which
it played. There Is also included
the usual statistical summary of
the season, the plays "that have
run over five hundred perform

THIS is DEMOCRACY
Collective Bargaining in Scandi-
navia
by Marquis Childs
In this book, the author of Swe-
den: The Middle Way presents the
case for the Labor governments in
Scandinavia where they continue
to preserve democracy and even
to extend it in important fields of
national economy. In Norway,
Sweden, and Denmark labor bar
gains collectively with industry
(Which is also organized) issues
newspapers, pushes forward social
and economic reforms through
democratic processes of govern
ment and improves the standard
of living so that all in all, the
Scandinavian countries continue
to be citadels on enlightenment in
a Europe that threatens to return
to barbarism. These countries are
not separated from the rest of the
world. They, too, are confronted
politically and economically with
the problems raised by commun-
ism, fascism, and the foreign and
trade policies of the so-called DEM
ocratic nations outside their bor-
ders. Denmark's foreign policy Is
largely controlled by Germany,
and Sweden and Norway have to
keep a wary eye on the alignments
and realignments of the Continent.
Nevertheless, despite tariff bar
riersJ foreign political pressures,
world depression, empire trade
agreements, internal dissensions
and the various disasters of these
last years, the Scandin v i a n
countries continue to make pro-
gress in the distribution of goods
and with labor governments in
power, to legislate beyond the
needs of a narrow group of trade
unionists. Here is the story of
contries where servants are train
ed in a special school conducted by
the Household Assistants Trade
Union with the demand for grad
yates far exceeding the supply,
despite the possibilities of a sit
down strike in the kitchen; where
the head of a government takes a
trolley car home at the end of the
days work. Labor and capital are
not wholly at peace and living on

Utopias. On the contrary, there
are strikes there, too, and bitter

Partridge Crashes
Thru Two Windows
Verndale-The Ernest Ericksons
were surprised in no small way
one noon recently. They were eat
ing when they heard a crash that
sounded almost like an explosion
and upon investigation found that
a partridge had flown through a
storm window and another plate
glass window to enter their home.
The partridge, which had evident
ly been well off it's course, was In
rather a bruised state when the
boys picked it up and killed 1t to

Man Buried 35
Minutes Lives
Breckenridge-John Hoppe
Wahpeton was buried under IL
feet of gumbo. He was working on
sewerage disposal plant taking
away the planks that had held
back the banks of the deep ditch.
Koppen took too many planks at
one time and as the banks started
to cave in he leaped forward where
other planks were in place. AS
the bank caved in the earth struck
on the back, knocking him over in
a sitting position with his head be-
tween his legs. In this position he
had a small amount of air to
breath and after 35 minutes he
was free. Mr.. Koppen went
through this thrilling experience
without a bone being broken.
Still Another
Deer Story
Stillwater-Mrs. Karl F. Kunz
of Kunz Island resort near Rice
Lake recently got her deer, and
didn't use a gun to do it. The re-
sort has high fence around 1t to
keep the deer from eating the
summer vegetables. A fine buck
got in through the opened gate and
in attempting to shut the gate to
close off his escape, Mrs. Kunz
slammed the gate on the animals
hind legs, breaking them.

that these animals and plants have
no calendar and when this terri

just like the filling in a sandwich
one morning recently. It was
placed between two trucks. The
Fast family were headed for the
Twin Cities and were just north
of Shakopee when they approach
ed the stop sign at the intersection.
They were close behind a truck.
The truck stopped but Mr.. Fast's
car couldn't be coaxed to stop be-
cause of the extremely icy surface
on the pavement. So he bumped
gently into the truck ahead. He
and all of his passengers got out,
and then another truck came up
from the rear and hit his car. No
one was injured and the car was
not badly damaged.
