KULTUR FROM AMERICA

The amiable Herr Goebbels comes very near to
being downright ungratefu in some of his remarks
about the culture of the American people. This coun
try said the soft-spoken Minister of Propaganda and
Understaement, contributed to Occidental culture
nothing that might be worth mentioning or that one
might expect to last through the centuries"
3 But isn't Herr Goebbels forgetting the 10000
German airplanes more or less which last Septem-
Der forced the captuation of the democracies at
Munich and which may yet be called upon to redeem
Danzig with a road through Poland wide enough to
include the whole Of Poland? The most important
branch of Germanys armed might is her strength in
the air On the basis of the Wright brothers and
other services the history OF aviation Herr Goebbes
surely will not deny that America has contributed to
the development of bombing planes And surely in
the eyes of Herr Goebbels and his friends there can
no greater conceivable gift to culture than bomber
s dropping shells open town.
All in all it cannot be said ofthe Goebbels Grafton

MINK INVADE5 CITY
But IS AFRAID OF
NOISE AND DEPARTS

Aroused by shouts of the neigh
borhood children, Mr.. and Mrs.
John Olson, stepped into the yard
of their Fifth Street home. A small
mink ran into their yard and
stopped, confused at all the excite
ment around him. Mrs. Olson
thought for a minute of capturing
or shooting the animal but gave up
the idea when she remembered that
her husband did not own a gun.
After while the animal ran
towards the Mount Roberts trail
and disappeared in the brush.
1t is thought that the animal es-
capped from some mink farm out
the highway and finally found his
way into town.

Poland, which participated with
Germany in the partition of Czecho-
Slovakia, fears she may be the
Reich's next objective. Under the
leadership of Josef Beck pictured
above) the late Marshal Pilsudski's
protege and now foreign minister,
she has taken every precaution to
prevent repetition of the dismem-
berment which destroyed Poland in
1895. Starting with signing of
mutual protection pacts with
France and England, this policy
has eliminated in growing friend
ship with Soviet Russia, long Po-
lands bogeyman.

mutual protection shield was the
