hard to bear. It is this atmosphere
which helps the inevitable home

Ineed not elaborate the difficulties
which arise when two or three
women, each conscious of her skill
as housewife and q cook, want to
use a single kitchen in a billet at
the same time, nor need I underline
the possibility of friction when a
number of families who were COM
plete strangers to each other a few
days before find themselves obliged
to use washing and sanitary ar
rangements intended for a single
household.
I don't think that a fair picture
OF this country during the war would
be accurate without my telling the
story of the evacuees. But I must,
in justice to the great numbers Of
grateful and satisfied folk, point out
that it is only the people who are
making difficulties who get notice
taken of them. The very large
number who accept the situation in
a reasonable spirit should, however,
not be forgotten, and they form the
bulk Of those who have been moved.
The large body of children who
have gone away in charge Of their
school teachers, for instance, are
adapting themselves tn their nau
conditions well enough, and there
has been very small percentage of
these children returning to their

in which to make arrangements in

Will make evacuation more attractive

all other considerations will be for

County Boxers
DO Well At Mora
Several Show Future
Promise in Golden Gloves
Beginning Monday.

Outstanding participants in Mora's
district Golden Glove tournament
Monday evening were Danny Olean
of Finlayson; Florian Hines, Willow
River; Ray Zazaski, Moose Lake
Ward Jones of Pine City, and James
Collins of Hinckley.
Zazaski, Moose Lakes speedy well
terweight, continued his string OF
victories and will engage in the
semi-fnals and finals of the tourna-
ment at Mora on February 6. Ray
was the lightweight winner last year
but goes up a notch due to increased
weight. The flasfy Moose Lake
boxer is a favorite with the local
fans and his clean fighting and ex-
cellent craftsmanship won the trophy
for him at the show Monday night
Ward Jones, welterweight from
Pine City, had little trouble winning
his bout and drew bye in the Sec
ond round. Jones, like Zazaski, is
a nice boxer.
James Collins, middleweight from
Hinckley, won handily and although
a newcomer, displayed plenty of grit
in his initial efforts. Collins is a
rugged lad and will give the boys in
that division plenty of trouble.
Danny Olean, the popular Irish
middleweight of Finlayson, was hard
pressed to come through, but the
smiling Irishman is still the ''sweet-
heart" of the crowd Danny has
plenty of ability and only needs a
couple of weeks training to acquire
the top form that he had last year
Willow River sent over a young
light-heavyweight who displayed
plenty of punch, Florian Hines, who
won b~~.. of his bouts Monday night
by quick kayoes. Hines upset Bar
nick, a tournament favorite in his
last bout. The lad is a slugger and
looks good.
From the list of "A entries, boys
from outside of Mora literally stole
the show, Mora having only two or
three entries left in the field. The
bouts this year are closer and the
fighters are in better condition than
ever before. All bouts are under
the competent supervision of A. A.
U. authorities and sanctioned by the
state boxing commission.

The first annual dinner-meeting of
the Nursing Advisory Committee and
Subcommittee of Pine county, of
which Mrs. Herb Johnson of Willow
River, is president, was held at the
Madison hotel in Sandstone Wednes-
day evening, January IL, when about
60 interested people were present.
Mrs. johnson introduced the speak
ers and members of the committee
and turned the meeting over to DR..
H. D. Stokes, local dentist, who pro-
ceded as POSTMASTER. DR.. A. l..

tendent of Public Health nurses; DR..
Paul Wilson of the Division of Child
Hygiene; and DR.. F. F. Callahan,
medical director of Pokegama Sana-
torium.
Miss Marion Krogdahl, county
nurse, gave a brief report of her
years work. Miss Peterson gave the
history of the nursing service in Pine
county, stating that Miss Miller was
the first trained nurse sent here. In
1920 to 1922 Miss Florence Nicol,
overseas nurse, was maintained here
by Red Cross funds. She visited
schools and homes and carried on a
regular nursing service. AS the Red
Cross fund was about depleted, the
county commissioners declined to
maintain a nurse. Since that time
Miss Nicol has been employed as
supervisor at the Ancker hospital
where she now is.
Nurses have been sent into the
county and paid for by the County

her work here. She gave her report

all phases of the nursing service.

congratulated in having established
so fine a service and it should be

songs and Miss Edna Walker enter
tanned with two of her pupils who
did some tap dances. The purpose
of such meeting was to acquaint
more people with the service and
strengthen the movement to retain a
full time nurse in the future.

News Review
BY GEORG STRANDVOLD

Judged from the viewpoint of con-
crete results, the much ballyhoo'd
conference between Chamberlain and
Mussolini in Rome last week pro-
duced precisely nothing, and the in
explicable happened that the British
prime minister on his return to Lon
don last Sunday was greeted by cheer
ing crowds, for, while he was in
transit from the Tiber to the Thames,
the legend had, somehow, spread
that although he came home with
empty hands, he was likely to stiffen
his attitude toward continental dicta-
tors in the future.
The day before Chamberlain saw
Mussolini, he had in Paris had a
conversation with Edouard Daladier,
the French premier, who had told
his British colleague that under no
circumstances would France cede to
Italy any part of it's Mediterranean
possessions-would Mr.. Chamberlain
be kind enough to tell Signor Musso-
lini that?

When Chamberlain and his entour-
age arrived in Rome, he and his host
Immediately entered into prelim-
mary conference, and that evening
a banquet was given in honor of the
distinguished British guest who gra-
ciously drank toast to 'His Majesty
the king of Italy and the emperor
of Ethiopia" thus solemnly sealing
British approval of the Italian con-
quest of the last of the independent
African nations, which had been so
sternly condemned by the British
government few years before.
1t is not matter of official record
that Chamberlain told Mussolini any,
thing about what Daladier had said,
but it is presumed that he did hint
that Italian encroachments upon
Tunis and other parts of French ter
ritory might result in grave conse-
quences-" for that is the stock
phrase of British statesmen, and

ceeded in extinguishing the flames
about himself and then set about at
tempting the rescue of his family
His ladder was frozen down and

rapid spread of the flames. When he
saw that it was hopeless, he drove in
his truck to the home of Mr. and
Mrs. H. A. Starch short distance
west of his home, but upon arriving
there was in such a weakened and
frozen condition that he was unable
to get out of the truck and to talk
to them.

had by that time completed its tragic
work and attention was confined to
Mr.. Johnson's welfare. He was
rushed by Coroner A. L. Arends to

until the next day. The coroner also
removed from the ruins the remains
of the fire victims.
