 We have had a slight decrese in contributions during the past year "a condition which has appeared quite regularly since the depression. Our only hope is in new subscrib- CTS to replace our loyal friends of the past or an increase in our endowment fund to insure regular income in the future. In this age of high taxation we cannot always look to the certain few who have helped us in the past, but must ob- tain assistance from others.

Safety First.
At another school picnic on the
Mississippi river near St. Cloud Fri
day, three boys and the father of two
of them, all good swimmers, were
sucked under at one spot and
drowned. Two of our splendid Askov
high school boys lost their lives in
similar manner three weeks ago. Boys
and girls, take care and beware. Take
no chances. Follow all safe swim
ming rules. Learn to swim well first
in shallow water. Learn how to res
cue others and to apply first aid. Dc
not stay in water too long. AvoiC
deep water and dangerous swimming
places. Never rock the boat.
Safe Places.
Perhaps the safest spots for school
Sunday school and community pic
MICS are on the school grounds, etc.
far from any lake or river. Pupil!
should never feel disappointed wher
teachers and parents advise and pre-
fer dry land picnics. Teachers anc
parents usually know and do what i!
best. Years of experience have giver
them greater wisdom and knowledge
Youthful energy and ambition shoule
be willingly guided by the exper.
fences of others.
Other Problems.
What is true of the safety first ad.
vice for swimming, fishing, hunting
car driving, ETC., should also be true
of the more serious things of life tina
involve human behavior, ideals, gooc
companions, clean recreation and RICH
living. A recent survey made among
youth imprisoned for petty crime:
shows three outstanding causes: q.
Unemployment and idleness. e,
Failure to listen to good advice from
parents, teachers and others who de.
sire to help lead in the right direc.
ton. (3) Failure of some parent!
to lead or advise properly.
