Washington, D. C.
Sir:
We are intensely interested in the ardent de-
sire of this Nation as expressed by you to Adj
olph Hitler relative to the aversion of the
threatened world war now pending, and we are
thankful that your approach to this situation,
in the name of humanity, on the part of the
United States, has evidently secured a much
needed delay of action; and now don't you feel
factor of help in dealing with world problems,
as well as individual problems namely, appeal
ing to the Throne of God, the source of unfail-
ing power of the Universe?
Don't you think that if your Honor would call
together the ministers and the worshipping
people of this nation by broadcast, and indi-
cate time for us all to simultaneously appeal
to the Prince of Peace, asking His Intervention,
and His leading in the Conference now in ses-
sion, looking toward an amicable settlement
of the War Crisis of the world; and if our pc
tition is in keeping with His will, don't you feel
that it will be granted?
May we not lead the world back into the recog-
milton of the words of Jesus, who said: "All
power in heaven and earth is in my hands"
Respectfully yours,

Resident of Moose
Lake 40 Years, Dies

John Alfred Gunderson, a resident
of Moose Lake township for the past
40 years, died at his home in Moose
Lake village Monday morning at
about 6 o'clock after a lingering ILL
ness of more than year. The cause
of death was carcinoma of the stom-
ach.
The deceased was born in Skara-
borgs Ian, Vastergotland, Sweden,
on Dec "a, 1869, being SO years, S
months and 26 days of age at the
time of death. He came with his
parents to America in 1881. They
lived in Minneapolis four years, after
which they came to Moose Lake and

lage.
He was married to Ellen Johnson
Aug. 80, 1897, in Duluth. Soon after
their marriage they moved onto their
present homestead eight miles east
of Moose Lake. They continued to
live there until last fall when his
health began to fail and he was
obliged to give up farming, and they
moved into town.
Mr.. Gunderson was one of the out
standing men of his community and
took an active part in all civic af-
fairs besides operating his farm. He
served as a member of the school
board of his district 20 years and
also as a member of the Moose Lake
town board for several years. AL
fred, as he was known to his many
friends, will be greatly missed by his
family and those who know him best.
He was of jovial nature and al
ways willing to lend a hand to those
who needed help.
Survivors are his wife, Ellen Gun
derson, two daughters, Mrs. R. Sedall
and Miss Pearl, both of Duluth, two
sons, Raynold, Duluth, and Alfred,
Jr., who operates the home farm in
Moose Lake township; two sisters,
Mrs. Ida Gusland and Mrs. Arvid
Blomquist, both of Duluth; his aged
mother who is 80 years of age, of
Duluth; two brothers, Oscar of Ormi-
ston, Sask., Can, and Herman of
Nemadji; and numerous other rela-
tives in this community.
Funeral services are being held
Thursday (today) from the Metho-
dist church with Rev. j. o. Johanson
officiating, assisted by Rev. E. j.

Car Skids, Lands
Upright In River

The following is a clipping
from a recent issue of The Ojib-
wa Wisconsin Courier:
Monday noon as Miss Anna
Wendell of Bruno, was driving
from Winter to Ojibwa, Wis,
where she was to speak on Mon
day and Tuesday evenings, her
car skidded and came to stop
in the Chippewa river. The &C
cident happened during the noon
day period and it was raining
at the time. AS she drove west
on highway 70 and came over
the hill opposite Neilsen's Chip
pewa Lodge, she let up on the
gas. The car started to skid
and before she could get it out
of the skid it turned completely
around and over and went down
the embankment into the river.
Miss Wendell was thrown out
of the car and into the water.
Both doors were damaged and
the turret steel top caved in.
"The glass on one side was
badly cracked. The fact that
Miss Wendell was not driving
fast and that the car was of steel
body construction and safety
glass is what prevented her
being seriously injured. She was
shaken up and bruised slightly.
The car was hauled from the
river by two trucks. Tuesday it
was taken to LadySmith for re-
pairs"
Miss Wendell returned to Bruno
on Monday and has resumed her
regular schedule.

this county will go safely for at least
tobacco control, and probably cotton.
And the expectation is that tobacco
control will carry in the flue-cured
belt as whole.
There were indications, however.
that high AAA officials were becom-
ing skeptical about the attitude of the
farmers, ana because of that sent
their biggest guns into the territory
to argue for acceptance of the crop
restrictions for another year. Secre-
tary Wallace himself spoke in Geor-
gia, and in Raleigh, N. c., the past
week. He told growers that there
would be crop control, no doubt about
it, whether they voted for the gov
eminent to have the authority or not.
Huge acreage and ruinously low
prices would take care of that he
said, urging the tobacco and cotton
farmers of North Carolina to support
the PLAN
In this county, announcement is ex-
pected the first of the week of polling
places, where growers may cast their
ballots. There will be at least one of
these in every one of the nine town
ships, it is understood. Election Of
ficials will be announced along with
the designation of the polling places,
which are being arranged by j. W.
Sanders, AAA administrator for the
county, and county farm agent. For
crop control to carry for either to-
bacco or cotton, not less than two
thirds of those taking part in the cleo
ton must vote ALTERNATELY, under the
law.
A number of farmers from here at
tended the meeting in Raleigh Thurs
day and heard Secretary Wallace.

and against the use of these lies.
Should they ever be told? The only
possible excuse for telling them is
when the truth might hurt someone.
Did you ever play the game where
all sit in a circle, and one whispers
some sentence to his next neighbor?
The neighbor whispers it to one next
to him, and so on around the circle
The last person to have it told him
repeats what he has heard, and it is
astonishing to see how constant re-
petition has distorted a simple SEN
tence or fact. Without meaning to do
more than repeat what is told one,
the sentence is so changed that at
the end it does not mean at all what
it did in the beginning.
So gossip about an acquaintance
grows into dangerous lies which may
hurt him all his life If you must talk
about people, be a golden gossip,
and tell only good things about them
Then it won't matter if they are exag-
gerated.

RESURRECTION AND LIFE

John 11:17-25. Then when Jesus
came, he found thet he had lain in the
grave four days already. Now Beth
any was nigh unto, Jerusalem, about
fifteen furlongs off; And many of the
Jews came to-. Martha and Mary, to
comfort them concerning their broth
er. Then Martha, as soon as she
heard that Jesus was coming, went
and met him: but Mary sat still in
the house. Then said Martha unto
Jesus, Lord, if thou hadst been here
my brother had not died But 7 know
that even now, whatsoever thou wilt
ask of God, God will give it thee.
Jesus saith unto her, Thy brother
shall rise again. Martha saith unto
him, I know that he shall rise again
in the resurrection at the last day.
Jesus said unto her, I am the resur-
rection, and the life: he that believeth
in me, though he were dead, yet shall
he live
