Wallace Whiting Describes
Alaska Sights Before PTA

A description of stop-over towns
on his trip to Fairbanks, Alaska,
was given by Wallace Whiting,
1889 graduate of the University of
Minnesota as one of the features of
the PTA program Monday eve
ming. Wallace is now a mining
engineer in the north.
He told of glittering, BLUSH
green glaciers from which tons
of ice broke and dropped into the
water from vibrations caused by
a blast of the steamships whistle
and unusual peoples, five and six
inches in height and nearly as
many in diameter, which added
color to the trip.
Typical sour-doughs, relics of
the gold rush days, were describ-
cd as close-mouthed individuals
who prefer seclusion and spent
little time away from their her
mit-like cabins. Eskimos, the
greater number of whom are af-
fiicted by tuberculosis because of
their inadequate diet, have bright
intelligent children who learn to
speak English quickly at a we'll
conducted government school.
Living principally on meat, they
add to their scanty income by
making beautiful fur parkas and
other garments, similar to their
own clothing.
He commented too on the naval
base and airport being rebuilt on
and near the Boring straits, where
the nearness of Russia looms
large to the northern outpost.
Matanuska valley residents, fore
ed to kill much of their livestock
because of an exceptionally early
freeze-up, are faced with what the
speaker thought was tough
proposition" Commenting on his
return trip, he said that flying
from the interiors at a height of
10000 feet, Mt. Mckinley, the
highest peak on the continent
lowered almost as much more
above them.
A rough sea brought a touch OF
seasickness, which was all thai
it had been described" Leaving
there when the thermometer re-
gistered 40 below zero November
Is, he plans to return to resume
work in February.
Members of the school faculty,
senior and junior high school
boys and girls and former high
school students elaborated in
presenting the program which
was sufficiently varied to suit all
tastes.
The high school mixed chorus,
in its first appearance of the year
sang an arrangement of London
derry Air" and Brahms "Medita-
ton" under the direction of Muir
iel Wickstrom. Introduced by
THETA Aske, Dean Muetzel and
Jerry Raglan talked on their hob

May Use County Home for NYA School
MAY ESTABLISH NYA
SCHOOL FOR GIRLS
HERE IN JANUARY

The Redwood county home
looks as if it might have been
built as part of a college campus,
a transition which may take place
early next year if present pro-
posals are favorably acted upon.
Redwood county commissioners
will receive a formal offer of
rental for the property, at a meet
ing in early December, from state
officials of the National Youth adj
ministration who would start a
school for girls there.
For consideration also, the
board will have estimates on the
expense of caring for the 16 aged
residents of the home elsewhere,
prepared by Jean Tucker, execu-
tive secretary of the county well
fare board. Since some of the
residents are eligible for pensions,
the county may realize an actual
saving by renting the property.
The NYA school would offer
practical courses to 60 girls who
are financially unable to continue
their schooling elsewhere, bring
ing them here from 20 Minneso-
ia counties.
NYA officials said the school
would begin operation here with
in two or three weeks after the
building was made available.

Steals Auto,
Crashes and
Gets Caught
AUTHORITIES HAVE
TRAIL BUT YOUTH
HASTENS ARREST

Chester Wolfe, 10, was only one
lump ahead of the Sheriff-but
he brought about his arrest for
car theft sooner than it might
have occurred when he became
involved in a hit-run accident.
M. A. Crosby's 1886 Ford sedan
was stolen from its parking place
in front of the Aune and Thune
store in Redwood Falls about IL
%. m. Friday while the owner and
his father-in-iaw, Gus Sampson,
were in downtown restaurant.
Learning that Wolfe had been
in town shortly before, Sheriff l..
j. Kise started on his trail, visit
ing Sacred Heart, Clara City and
Renville before he located the
youths home between Redwood
rails and Renville. Wolfe was
, not there.
He was apprehended Saturday
at Litchfield oil station by the
highway patrol out of Glencoe
after the car sideswiped another
machine near DasSell. Crosby
had insurance covering the dam
ages, both left tenders dented,
both left windows broken and a
door handle torn off.
At Litchfield Wolfe received a
500 fine or 80 day Jail sentence
on the hit-run charge, but the
sentence was suspended so that
Sheriff Kise could bring him here
on the theft-count.
Wolfe pleaded guilty before
Judge N. X. Ryerson in Redwood
Falls municipal court Tuesday
morning and was bound over to
district court.
Kise, to whom he was remand
ed when he was unable to furnish
$4,000 bond, expects to take him
before Judge Albert Emerson for
sentencing soon.
Claiming that he was intoxicat-
ed at the time he stole the car,
Wolfe said he went to Delhi and
picked up Vernon Reierson. They
went to a dance at Bechyn that
night, then started for Minneapo-
lis.
At Chaska they stopped the car
and slept, going to Minneapolis
in the morning. After spending
several hours there, they started
back and it was on the return trip
that the accident which resulted
in Wolfe's capture occurred.
Reierson was not implicated in
the theft. He will be remember
ed as the companion of Bud Jor-
genson of Belview when Jorgen-
son drowned in Lake Redwood
the early morning of July II,
1888. Recently he has been work.
ing on an NYA street crew in
Redwood Falls.
Wolfe told Judge Ryerson that
he had been arrested three or four
times prior to this apprehension
"for stealing pocketbooks." He
had served 80 days at the Olivia
Jail.

Ralph Ballard of Redwood Falls
and Henry Roundhurst of Olivia
will be hailed into court on the

"This rule has had plenty of
publicity and / don't know why

Ryerson said. "It puts the court

Officer Arnett was in an en-
barrassing position too with his

Asked for recommendation,
Leon H. Brown, city attorney said,
There's been heat from the fire
department and state fire mar
shals on the situation in Redwood

The practice Of following trucks
should be discouraged" but he
asked the judge to take into con-
sideration that it was the first

Finland Stunned as
Russians Break Off
Diplomatic Relations
PRECAUTIONS TAKEN
AGAINST INCIDENTS
ALONG BORDER
Bu Associated Press

Helsinki-The news of So
Wet Russia's action in break
ing off diplomatic relations
with Finland fell like a thun-
derclap last night on Helsin-
XII.
Although Firms had been
preparing for the worst and
awaiting developments with
grim calm, Moscow's precipi-
tate action caught the public
and officials alike by, surprise.
The news spread through Hell
sinki at midnight like wildfire.
Grim faced people gathered in
groups and discussed the latest
turn in the extremely grave situa-
ton.
The foreign office promised a
statement soon.
Meanwhile, government off,
Gals were summoned hurriedly to
midnight conference.
One official exclaimed: "Hull's
offer came too late"
This was in reference to Secre-
tary of State Cordell HulPs an
nouncement of the United States
willingness to lend her good Of
fees in the Finnish-RuSsian bor-
der dispute.
The Firms were without official
information of the fateful Rus
sian action for hours after it was
announced in a radio broadcast
by Russian Premier-Foreign Com
missar Zyacheslaff Molotoff.
Prior to the move in Moscow,
the Finnish government had sent
a carefully worded and deliberate
reply to the Soviet note of Tues
day denouncing the 1882 Russian
Finnish non-aggression pact.
The government, making no eff
fort to minimize the precarious
situation along the Russian border
where Moscow has reported a
multiplying number of incidents.
ordered Finnish patrols at various
points along the Russ border to
move back so as to avoid the
possibility of clashes with Soviet
troops.
Authorities investigating one of
the incidents reported by Moscow
reported that three members of 4
border patrol at Pummang, at the
northern tip of Finland were
missing.
They said investigation of a cot
tage occupied by the border post
showed damage with windows
broken and furniture thrown
about. The telephone had been
torn loose and thrown out of the
cabin. New snow was said to have
obliterated tracks and other clues.
The Russian radio announced
that Soviet authorities were hold
ing three prisoners who had at
tempted to cross the border with
a group which was forced back
and Firms specialized on the pos
sibility they may have been the
missing there.
One group thought that Russia
as world power has advanced
so far, that its demands on Fin
land had been propagandized so
thoroughly, that it would be diff
ficult for her to withdraw now.
The second group held that
Moscow sought merely to frighten
Finland and that a firm stand
would save her from attack.
Officials denied that Finland
had modified her full military
strength.
