PINE COUNTY RURAL
SCHOOL NEWS
A. E. GUsTAFsoN, County supt.

We hope that many of our rural
pupils will enter the birdhouse con-
struction contest promoted by the
Conservation department and the
Conservation club. Copies of rules
have been mailed to our teachers.
Rules for the peace essay contest
have also been mailed out The citi-
zenship and English project is spon-
sored by Congressman Harold Knut-
son.
One of our big dates of this school
year is our final declam contest and
music festival at the Sandstone high
school gym Thursday evening, March
30th.
Most schools will hold their annual
Easter vacation next week, the first
week in April.
Due to bad roads and much sick
ness our rural school attendance has
been very poor the past two months.
Many of our rural schools having
small enrollmentS have closed the
past few years and most of them
find it economical. Other advantages
of closing certain small schools are
comfortable transportation, better OPP
portunities and advantages in schools
of two or more teachers and provis-
ion for high school transportation.
When schools are closed and trans
ported all state aids 60 to the district
in which the school is closed and on
the same basis as though school was
operated.
When school is closed and trans
ported it does not lose any local con-
troll or state aids. 1t may be re-
opened at any time. Tuition and
transportation amount to about six
or seven dollars per pupil per month.
Modern roads, snowplows, cars and
buses make the closing of the small
schools in most cases very economical,
practicable and advisable.
Please report vacancies, elections,
reflections, etc., to us so that we can
be of greater service to you and
others.

market; the Orient was to be per-
mitted to send us 1000 million pounds
of vegetable oils yearly that 60 into
the manufacture of butter substitutes
and soaps; Czecho-Slovakia was given
the women's shoe market; China was
invited to send her enormous egg
production, and so on down the line.
OF course, such witless policy
could have but one result. Amer
lean industrial plants, unable to meet
the competition of cheap labor in
competing lands, were obliged to
shut down, throwing millions out of
work. Where these unemployed for
merly had meat, potatoes, bread, but
ter, fruits, vegetables and pie on their
table, they soon found that the WPA
Askov American. [volume] (Askov, Pine County, Minn.) 1914-current, 1939-03-30

does not pay enough to provide any
thing above barest subsistence. The
demand for the products of our
farms and factories has shown a
steady falling off-so have prices
until the country faces a collapse.
What a picture! What insanity!
In the meanwhile, Roosevelt, Hull,
Sayre, and all the other free traders
go merrily on giving away our home
market as we spend hundreds and
thousands of millions of dollars feed
ing the millions from whom they
have traded their jobs, not to mention
the tens of thousands of farms and
homes that are being sold under the
sheriff's banner each year. In the
meanwhile, "Uncle Simple" standing
on the sideline tugging at his whisk-
ers, wonders where and how it is all
going to end.
Can Economic Here.
Santa Claus" Roosevelt is deter
mined to spend 200 million dollars on
canal across the state of Florida
that the people down there do not
want, and for which there has been
shown to be no need.
How would it be if that vast sum
were spent for relief or on some
other worthy and necessary purpose?
Then it would not be necessary for
Roosevelt to ask Congress for that
$50 million additional for the WPA.
Must be Looking for Trouble.
The administration continues to
play a very dangerous game in Eu-
rope. To all intents and purposes, it
has scrapped our neutrality law.
Rarely does a week pass that we do
not send to one of the ''have-not" gov
ernments a sharp note of protest,
Just like we did back in 1915-16-
shortly before we talked ourselves
into that awful carnage in Europe.
Today, American government Of
ficials are again scolding and protest
ing. Again, they are meddling in
matters that are of no direct con-
Germ to us. We deplore and con-
denim the rape of Czecho-Slovakia,
but it would be sheer folly for us to
60 to war over it. However, if those
chattering parrots in Washington are
not soon called off, we may wake
up some fine morning to find our
selves in another costly war. Let us
not forget to ever bear in mind
that this is not fight between democ-
racy and autocracy. 1t is a fight
between the "haves' and "have-nots F."
In short, it is a struggle for raw
materials and markets.
Matters were not helped when
Roosevelt last week arbitrarily in
creased import duties on German
goods by Is percent. That country
buys several times as much from us
as we buy from her. would heartily
approve such an increase were it ap-
piled to all countries, but to single
out one country because we do not
countenance its foreign policy is little
less than Grass stupidity. Oh, for a
few experienced business men at the
helm.
