William f. Borah
Dying After Fall;
Capitol Shocked
CONTINUED from page One)


Telephones in Borah's office rang
constantly. Many senators called
to say that they were praying for
the Idaho veteran. Other senators
telephoned the senate press gallery
TO keep in touch with develop
ments.
Miss Rubin said that Mrs. Borah
has not been able TO find out what
caused the senator to fall and
strike his head. He was believed to
have slipped on a small rug. He
was unconscious when picked up
and carried TO bed.
On Capitol Hill, the usually calm
Vice-President John N. Garner
paced back and forth in his office.
Senator Borah will be missed
as much as any member of the
senate" he said.
Sen. Arthur H. Vandenberg, r.,
Mich, had tears in his eyes when
ne returned to the senate after a
call at the Borah apartment.
One of the foundation stones is
being swept out from under the
country" he said.
When the senate convened at
noon Chaplain Barney Phillips
prayed for Borah's recovery. Sen
ators were viSibly moved.

begun an advance toward the big
Russian base of Petrozavodsk. or
the Leningrad Murmansk railroad.
An official communique at Hell
sinki reported that Finnish troops
had advanced almost 80 miles
against the Red army in the i'm
portant Sana sector Of the north
central front.
The advance occurred in the last
few days. the communique said in
explaining officially for the first
time persistent reports that Finnish
troops mad been successful in action
against the Red army reinforce
ments on the Salla front. where
the Russians originally attempted
10 drive across mid-Finland to the
Gulf Of Bothnia and where they
recently had been reported attempt
ing 10 start a new offensive.
Dispatches 10 Scandinavian news
papers had reported that the Rus
sian forces in the Salla sector, to-
falling perhaps 10000 men, were in
retreat toward their own frontier
after suffering reverses due to ex-
treme cold-more than so below
2ero-and Finnish counter thrusts.
The intense cold throughout Fin
land and all of northern Europe
appeared TO make any extensive
military operations unlikely at the
moment. Webb Miller, veteran
United Press correspondent with
the Finnish armies. reported that
neutral observers believed the Firms
we're now in a position TO hold
out Indefinitely If they receive suf-
ficient credits and supphes-espe-
cially airplanes-from abroad. Dis
patches from Copenhagen estimated
that 10000 foreign volunteers al
ready were in Finland, with the
Scandinavian countries supplying
the bulk of aid for the Films.
In Sweden, political dispute
appeared likely as a result of charges
by former Foreign Minister Richard
Sander that the Swedish govern
ment was not taking strong
enough stand TO enforce its neu-
trality and safety. presumably by
giving increased aid TO the Finnish
as we'll as by sending troops to
defend the Finnish Aland islands.
Premier Per Albion Hanson told
the Swedish parliament that the
government was helping the Films
but didn't want TO shout its plans
TO the world.
More denials of foreign reports
about the Red army came from
Moscow, where the official news
agency denounced reports that Rus
sian planes had bombed the Hell
sinki working districts; that the
Firms had found the frozen body
Of Russian divisional commander
and that Russia had demanded the
Arctic coastal area of Finland be-
fore the war started.
The Moscow communique said
that II Finnish planes had been
shot down but that there had been
little military activity on the Fin
nish fronts.
There was a sharp artillery duel
between Germans and French on
the western front but little else
except isolated patrol activity. The
fears of the Belgians and Dutch
that they might be invaded we're
decreased although military pre-
cautions were not relaxed.
At Toender, Denmark. messages
from the island of Romoe said five
airplanes-believed TO be British
had flown over the island of Sylt
and apparently dropped bombs aim

TREAT CENSUS TAKERS WITH
COURTESY

Census takers are already at work in many
places. The government requires that this be
done every so often. 1t is important that the IN
formation given the census taker be accurate !;
there are certain rules to govern their work,
which means they have to ask many questions.
Some of them it might seem, are useless and un-
called for. However be that as it may better an
swer every question as accurately as you can The
census taker is not trying to pry into your per
sonal affairs. What he wants. and is instructed
to get are statistics, mpersonal facts and figures.
Rest assured that the census enumerator is not
going to reveal any personal information given
him Neither will it be published or broadcast
Give the census taker your cooperation They
sent out by the government to gather facts.
Treat them with consideration. Remember they
have the law on their side, and will ask only such
questions as the law requires.

It takes much time and effort to collect infor-
nation and write accurate accounts of those who
pass We might slight this sort of news but
do not intend to do SO, and it is always our pur-
pose to give Just as complete account as it is
possible to give with the information we may

We often have calls from persons living in 9th

files to see if obituary notices of their ancestors
appeared in this paper. When found, we have OBJ

was too complete-but have often heard regrets
that more facts were not published Such in
stances serve to remind us of how obituary no

VALUE OF DEATH NOTICES

Occasionally we have been mildly criticised
for publishing many obituaries or death no.
tices. Such criticisms have never for an instant
had any effect on u.s. and we have gone just
the same, and expect to continue the same course
so long as we are in the newspaper business We
consider that nothing paper publishes is as
important as death notices. We feel that it is
eminently fitting that obituary notice, bio
graphical sketch, or whatever you choose to call
it. of resident of this county, has connec-
ton with the county, should be printed. 1t serves
tribute and is also in the nature of perna-
nent record. The value of such notices may not
