Req. Jobs. K11dsen Writes
Following Story of Their
Journey to Connecticut.

Inasmuch as it is quite evidently
impossible to write in detail to all
the friends Eat home" we are going
to impose upon the Askov American
for space for letter of news and
impressions. We hope, however, to
write in such a way that all readers
of the paper may find some interest
in the reading.
The beginning of our trip con-
tanned little of excitement. After a
pleasant visit at West Denmark, we
trundled via Balsam Lake and Rhine
lander across to Marinette. The ride
is very beautiful, especially the
stretch of virgin forest close to Rhine
lander, but it is also undoubtedly
quite well known. A hurried morn
ing trip through Green Bay to Mani
toWoc was also uneVentful with the
exception of the dash through Den
mark. We arrived at Manitowoc all
out of breath to catch the nine o'clock
ferry and cooled our heels by waiting
nearly two hours before it behooved
IIlt CdpldlIl W Weigh dlISiiOI. Luz
our impotence was compensated for
by pleasant four or fiVe-hour ocean
trip" Still vivid in our memory is
the entrance to Ludington, Mich, with
the long stretches of giant sand dunes,
the idyllic bay, the coast guard sta
ton, the white sails, the thousands of
sea gulls, etc.
Journey Through Michigan.
Beautiful and fertile Michigan held
us for an extra day while we caught
our breath. Fortunately we caught
no other breath, for we were in the
onion fields at Grant in the harvest
season). Then we repacked our bag
gage, said goodbye to friendly hosts
incidentally visiting Stubs at Green
ville), and set out on our own in

More Than 800 Attend
Public Reception for
AskOv American.

With more than 800 attending the
public reception Friday evening tc
commemorate the silver anniversary
of the founding of the Askov Amer
lean, that period was properly and
successfully brought to close and
new span is now started upon.

to 122 American employees and cor
respondents with the food being pre-
pared by the Askov Ladies' Aid
After that the party moved to the
main hall of the D. B. S. hall where
a program of speaking, singing and
dancing rounded out the evening
Music for the dance was furnished
by Hanks Melody Twisters.
Prominent People Here.
Speakers on the program were
Hjalmar Petersen, founder of the
Askov American and its editor for
more than 20 years; Allen E. Nc
Gowan, field manager and secretary
of the Minnesota Editorial Associa-
ton; and Prof. Ralph D. Casey, direc-
tor of the Department of Journalism,
University of Minnesota.
Svend Petersen was master of cere-
monies for the evening MIR. Nc
Gowan, in his discussion before the
banquet audience, laid stress on the
part a correspondent plays in the
making of successful and good
newspaper. He advised them to be
wide awake to any suggestion of news
which they could pass on to their
newspaper.
Mr.. MCGOWAN interspersed his talk
with anecdotes which kept his audi
ence amused and anxious to follow
each word he uttered He is an ex-
perienced newspaper man, himself,
and his words carried much weight.
He has placed the Minnesota Editorial
Association in the front rank of sim
liar groups throughout the nation
Hjalmar Petersen extended greet
ings to the banquet group, but gave
his main address at the general meet
ing later in the evening. A. w. Con-
away introduced each of the CORE
spondents to the gathering and Svend
Petersen called for the others in the
audience to rise and take a bow.
Public Reception.
At the public reception as at the
banquet, Miss Ruth Hansen sang and
furnished her own accompaniment on
the guitar. Also on the reception
program were the Askov Male Chorus,
and a trio of young ladies consisting
of the Misses Ruth Hansen, and Olga
and Oda Jensen.
Prof Ralph D. Casey spoke on the
Relation of the Newspaper to the
Community. Mr.. Casey discussed
the personal side of the newspaper
and stated that all newspapers were
not published solely for profit, but
pointed out that the editor took a
personal interest and pride in what
he wrote. He contradicted the crit
icism usually launched about 'kept"
press. He said this is not entirely
true.
The speaker stated that a news
paper has two important missions
in giving the news and advising read
ers. One of the trends in modern
newspaper publishing is to interpret
the news, that is, to elucidate or to
give the background of the news.
In explaining what he meant by in
terpreting or calculating the news.
Prof. Casey said that within the next
short period of time plenty of elu-
cidating will be attempted to get us
to take sides in the European war.
