Federated Clubs
Conduct Annual
Meet AtPineCity
County-w de Attendance
Makes for Successful and
Informative Session.

There were approximately 35 ladies
from Askov, Hinckley and Willow
River to attend the County Federated
club meeting at Pine City Saturday
The meeting was held at the armory
with a large attendance from the
Pine City club. At the present time
there are four county Federated clubs
the oldest one is from Willow River
which was organized in 1915, and has
a membership of 49, Askov Garden
club, Hinckley Study club, Sandstone
Study club and Pine City Study club
have organized since and have a
growing membership.
The meeting was called to order by
Mrs. Herbert johnson of Willow
River, who is county president. Mrs
A. Herdina of Pine City, secretary and
treasurer, gave her report which was
accepted At this time the meeting
was turned over to Mrs. G. Fred
eriksen who is chairman of the road
side Identification committee. She
gave an outline of the purpose OF
the work of her committee and what
it has accomplished so far.
Mrs. Frederiksen introduced Har-
old Olson, who is with the roadside
Identification division of the State
Highway department. Mr.. Olson gave
a talk and showed slides on what
the highway had been doing in other
localities and he explained how some
of the points along highway 81
through Pine county could be i'm
proved, but it would take time and
work to bring this about.
Mrs. johnson again took charge OF
the meeting and appointed the same
roadside project committee. She also
appointed new project committee
for this year to carry on other work.
The members are Mrs. Clare Nelson of
Pine City, Mrs. A. M. Underhill of
Rutledge, and Mrs. H. D. Stokes of
Sandstone. Club reports were given
as follows: Mrs. w. IS. McEachern,
president of the Pine City Study club;
Mrs. Svend Petersen, president of
Askov Garden club; Mrs. Wallace
Ogilvie, president of the Willow River
Community club, and the president
of the Study club of Hinckley. These
were all very good reports and the
work done by these women in their
communities is commendable.
The Pine City ladies served a very
delicious lunch at 1890 p. m. The
ladies were asked to mingle as much
as possible and get better acquainted.
The program was as follows: Each
group sang its club song; Miss Mil
dred Schoen played a violin solo;
Miss Irene j. Metz, nutritionist from
the Minnesota Department of Health,
gave talk on 'How to Prepare Food
That Will Nourish the Growing
Child" Her talk was very inspiring.
Then came the plays which were
entertaining with the Willow River
group being first. That play was
entitled, "The Will of the Wisp,"
which was well presented. The Pine
City club gave, "Be Little Cuckoo"
Mrs. C. M. Orwell of North Branch,
was judge and the honors went to the
Pine City club, The group selected
the ''Trilliun" or as the children name
it, wake Robin" for the county
flower. No definite meeting place
was chosen for next year, but the
district meeting will be held at Mora
June Is and ID this year.

The second round of the Twilight
D-Ball League schedule has been
played and the situation now finds
Askov and Friesland at the top of
the heap in victories won, with the
former taking two opponents and the
latter one. In the first round the
Friesland team and the Sandstone
Rockets played an II to II tie and
it is possible that that game will be
played off preceding the game when
they next meet.
In the games Monday night Askov
beat the Federal Pen IA to 2, Finlay-
son won from the Rockets II to 6
and Friesland defeated the Purple
Panthers 8 to z.
Following are all of the box scores,

THE WAR IN EUROPE

The Second World War has
qu;ckened its tempo slightly
the past several days. The Ger
man submarine warfare has
taken toll of the British NAVY
to the tune of two larger than
20,000-ton battlesh.ps. the loss
is serious but one the English
can stand. The submarine just
sailed Into the British anchorage
at night, totally unobserved,
aimed two torpedos and fired.
The British are evasive and only
admit about half of the Ger
man claims. In the air planes
of Htler's have raded English
bases several times. And on one
raid seriously damaged a large
training ship.
The war on the soil of Europe
has been largely Inactivity,
Whether it is the old stalling
game of waiting for American
help or the preliminary getting
"set" for real war we cannot
say at present - perhaps when
Congress decides what it is 60
ing to do about the arms embar
go we will find out.
T h e general impression we
get is that Hitler is up tree
and the Russian bear underneath
it-oh yes, we know Germany
and Russia are pals, but we
also know Stain pulls chastnuts
out of the well-known fire for
no man. /.
The way the English are con.
Quoting their end of the war is
wishy-washy that one gets the
impression there Is something
rotten over there. Idiotical
self Imposed censorship, high
sounding phrase, etc. and lacl
of evidence they have accom-
plished anything at all or are
going to do so, has shaken thu
confidence of the world in the
ability to fight and given sup
port to the whispered conten

The War of Words
Proragandists, professional
and amateur, are already in
the field, urging that America
participate directly in the con-
flict, because" as one of their
catch phrases goes, lit is better
to meet the German menace on
foreign soil and help defeat it
Than it is to wait until it be-
comes bold enough to attack
here"
There are two classes of pro-
pagandists running loose today
and life will be better and safer
for the man who shuns both.
The amateur propaganda for
war lies and becomes hysterical
because he is Uniformed. The
professional lies and arouses
hate because it is his job. The
amateur jumps at conclusions,
absorbs only a few facts, deals
in generalities and condemns
blindly. Oftimes the amateur is
aware of the harm he is caus-
ig. The professional, more dead
ly of the two, knows what he
is doing. A master of mob psy-
chology, is is the professional
who attempts to Psychologist
ally prime" the people for war.
He fiavors his bombastic speech
es with high sounding phrases
about national honor and ma
tional welfare. He tries in every
way to arouse the emotion OF
hatred. Hatred of the enemy's
alleged attacks on sacred insti
tuions. hatred for his supposed
inhumanity, hatred of every
sort for the enemy is what tn,
professional propaganda at
tempts to arouse. Once he ha
sufficient hate aroused, once h
has hyponotized the people int,
wild mass of energy, once h
has made the people believe the,
they must fight, prspagandis
departs.
Examining the propagandist'
claims that war is full of glor,
and beauty and that men di
smiling, happy to have mad
the supreme sacrifice, we nee
must visit a "feld of honor
after two groups of the huma,
race have exchanged shell fo
shell, boyonet for bayonet.
