$50 Needed for Red Cross.

Officers of the Askov unit of the
American Red Cross have received
notice relative to the drive for funds
mentioned elsewhere in this issue.
The original call asked for aid to
Luxembourg, Belgium and Holland
but that has been altered to include
Denmark and Norway and such other
countries as may be in need of help.
The officers of the local unit are
Mrs. Manford Nelson, chairman; Mrs.
Edwin Sorensen, secretary; and Mrs.
Svend Petersen, treasurer. Askov's
quota in the present drive has been
set at $50 which the officers hope
can be raised in just a few days.
Arrangements have been made so that
donations may be left in the post Of
fee. They ask that you give what
you can and give it now-it takes 200
quarters to make $50.

Fire Prevention
Talked At AskOv

also stressed the Importance of fire
drills in public schools. The state
law requires that every school must
have nine fire drills each year; the
fire alarm must be different from the
ordinary school bell, preferably a
horn or siren. Mr.. Nelson said that
rs per cent of the present wiring
in the average town was put in 20
years ago and in most instances is
obsolete and inadequate; new and
modern fool-proof fuses should be
used, additional circuits are needed
and larger wires for the entrance is
vitality important. When an electric
wire is overloaded the consumer pays
for current that he does not use. He
warned against using the old style
green twisted lamp cord for extension
lamps-only approved rubber COW
cred wire should be used.
Should Ascertain Cause of Fire.
Mr.. Nelson cited several arson
cases, there being no less than 80
convictions in the state last year.
Thus it is important always to ascer-
tain the cause of the fire and pre-
serve any possible evidence.
Ex-Chief Berg from Pine City, was
also present. Together with the other
gentlemen he had inspected the Askov
equipment earlier in the evening, and
he stated that it was one of the best,
if not the best, in Pine county.
The evening terminated with re-
freshments served by the manage
ment of the Askov Coffee Shop.

High School Play Good.

The hearty applause given the
Askov high school play, June Mad"
at the school auditorium Friday eve
ming was evidence that the capacity
audience had appreciated the COM
bined efforts of the performers and
director. When the play was over
and the audience had chance to
"hash it over" the most common
statement heard was: That's the best
high school play we have ever had"
Even former high school students
made that statement but frequently
added-'since the one l was in"
All joking aside, however, it was a
good play, a really worthwhile play,
and it surely was put across in A
No. l style. The stage fixtures and
general makeup were fine, the light
ing effects were good, the makeup
and costuming were excellent, and in
cidentally the director must also have
been good, for after all, able leader
ship is the most essential part; so con-
gratulations are due Mr.. Dunn as we'll
as the cast.
Miss Idamae DanielSon came from
Wright to spend Mothers day with
her parents, Mr.. and Mrs. A. G.. Dam
ielson.
DR.. Ejvind Fenger of Glen Lake,

the Minnesota Communist party in
Minneapolis, Mrs. Clara Jorgensen,
northeast of Askov, was nominated

the home of their parents, Mr.. and

Sunday for their home in Chicago,
after spending some time at the home
of her mother, Mrs. Peter Simons-
gard.

day. Mr.. Glen attended a board
meeting of the North Star Area of the
Boy Scouts. Harry is scheduled to
be a Junior Officer at Camp Lawrie
this summer and went to attend his
first staff meeting; he will start at
the camp June and remain for nine
weeks.
The last Parent-Teachers Associa-
ton meeting of the present school
year is scheduled for Thursday (to-
night. AS usual at the last meet
ing there will be school exhibit.
The teachers and pupils put lot of
work in on this exhibit toward MAX
ing it worthwhile for the public to
come and see; hence they hope that
the parents and others interested will
be present tonight. In addition to
this there is the annual election of
officers and other routine business.
AS usual the meeting will terminate
with refreshments which the ladies
are requested to bring along.

Save the Poles.

Burning of brush, weeds and grass
along the roadside in the spring is
desirable, but it often becomes costly
to others without being generally
known. The management of the
Askov Telephone Company states
that during the last six weeks they
have been obliged to replace no less
than 26 telephone poles which were
destroyed by fire. The electric power
company also has considerable loss
each year.
In the case of the telephone COM
pany the posts are mostly cedar and
these are often hollow, and as the
fire has a habit of getting inside and
burning up through the pole, often
smoke is seen coming out of the top.
Later when a heavy wind comes along
the pole falls.
Those interested would appreciate
if more care was exercised when
burning around poles. A little dirt
up against the pole is of considerable
help and of course a little water will
quickly remove the hazard. The
average telephone pole here costs
from three to four dollars, so it rep
resents quite loss. Electric power
poles cost several times that amount.

HYDE PARK, N Y. Feb. B. President Roosevelt said today at a press conference that he is getting tired of attempts to sound him out on the third term, and added that when anything is to be said 1t will be at a time of his own choosing and his alone.
 President Roosevelt said he thought newsmen agreed with him that they too were tired about the question. He suggested putting it back to the news desks that the question is very silly, and very obviously, when anything is to be said, it will be at a time of niv choosing and not at their C'7a renorters) choosing"

DISCUSSIONS FOR IkDIA'S FREEDOM

Same Old Promise, lnde. pendenCe when Time
 Comes, Indicated

NEW DELHI, India, Feb. 5. - Hindu Nationalist Leader Mohandas Gandhi and India's Viceroy Lord Lintlithgow have failed to reach an agreement on Indias demands for independence.
 Wrapped in his shawl over his thin cottcn robes, the Hindu leader left the conference limiting he will leave New Delhi tomorrow without wait ing results of the conference with the Viceroy.
 The Moslem faction communique indicated that Great Britain only offered the oft repeated assurance to consider Indias demands for in- dependence when the time came. "
 This time is presumably after the present European war is over.
 Gandhi'S communique made it plain the British proposals did not meet the demands of the Nation alist Party.
