Seal Sale Scrap
Book Wins A,Unrd

A scrap book of Christmas Seal
publicity, entered by Mrs. E. B. Lins-
ley of Willow River, was given a spe-
cial award by the Minnesota Public
Health Association, according to a
letter received Wednesday from E. A.
Meyerding, M. D., executive secre-
tary of the association. The book con-
sisted of newspaper clippings and
other publicity which aided in the
anti-tuberculosis campaign in 1899.
The letter went on to state that
the Minnesota tuberculosis death rate
took another drop in 1889. The rate
in 1909 was 1925 deaths per 100000
population; 95.25 in 1919, $3.50 in
1929 and 30.1 in 1899. The marked
decline is an indication of the fine
results being obtained through the
cooperation of the various groups
working to combat the white plague.
Officers of the Pine County Public
Health Association which sponsors
the Christmas Seal campaign here
and the health program it supports
are Mrs. E. B. Linsley, Willow River,
president; and Mrs. Svend Petersen,
Askov, secretary.

Plans Being Formulated
for State Park in North.
ern Part of Village.

Plans are under way for beautiful
park in Willow River on the grounds
adjacent to the dam of the water
conservation project within the viii
lage limits. The work on the dam
has been progressing rapidly and the
problem arose as to how to finish it
off to give it and the immediate vicin-
ity decent appearance, the site being
surrounded with sawdust and slabs
from the old mill that stood there
in other days.
Below the dam and near highway
81 is broad gully with high ground
on each side Uttered with debris and
brush, and at the bottom of which
flows the Willow river. This bottom
land, comprising about three acres
may properly be described as an 'eye-
sore" and the idea of making park
here was suggested as the dam neared
completion.
May Start About July 1.
A representative of the State For
estry department has looked over the
terrain and a map has been prepared,
including just enough land for park
which would not only be complete
by itself, but would make a fitting
and artistic introduction to the state

Standings of the Teams.

In spite of threatening weather
Monday evening the Twilight Kitten
ball League opened its season with
Finlayson defeating Sandstone 6 to
and Hinckley bowling to Askov, last
years champion, Z to 3. The third
game, between Friesland and the
Correctional Institution Officers, was
called on account of darkness in
the sixth inning, with Friesland ahead
at the time. 1t is reported that this
game will be replayed Thursday eve

In the MISREPRESENTATION tussle
the latter was leading going into the
seventh inning but Finlayson rallied
to score three runs and win the game
Askov had an easier time with Hinck-

was never headed.

Gus, 100-yard dash and 220-yard dash,
while Pine City captured firsts in the

grom, second in the same event; Kar-
sky, second in the 100-yard dash;

Large Sums Already Spent.


Concerning the national drive Will
liam NJ Baxter, Jr., of st. Louis, Red
Cross midwestern area manager, said
today that early indications point to
a gratifying response on all sides.
1.-THE Red Cross already has cabled
100000 to Belgium and the Neither
lands for emergency relief work, and
this week placed new orders for $50
ambulances, 100 auxiliary hospital
trucks and other equipment, such as
field hospitals and surgical supplies, y
Baxter said.
Invasion of the low countries has
multiplied the requirements for addl-
tional American Red Cross assistance
in the war zones" Baxter added.
Before the latest invasion into west
ern Europe, the Red Cross had spent
Sl,500,000 for aid in Europe since
the outbreak of hostilities last Sep
TENDER. Most of this was to provide
for innocent refugees. The present
campaign was not launched until the
organization was convinced of the
need for a greatly enlarged relief
program" Baxter pointed out.
Relief Needed at Once.
Since the opening of the war fund
appeal was announced, the National
Red Cross has been assured of fullest
cooperation by many organizations
A number of chapters, Baxter re-
lated, already have gone over the
top" on their quotas. High govern
ment executives, including President
Roosevelt, were this week lending
their support to the cause.
eve must send relief as needed,
and not too late" the Red Cross Of
fetal emphasized. 'We have had
many requests for clothing, bedding,
ambulances, indications and surgical
supplies. We have absolute faith
that the American people will heed
this call. Through the Red Cross they
will be modified for action that gives
life, hope and courage. A minimum
of $10,0OO,000 is needed at once"

nursery which it adjoins. The state
has offered to start work on the park
on or before July l, provided that
the village acquire that land, plus a
few acres more, and turn it over to
the state for park purposes.
There is a possibility that the state
will ask for an additional six or seven
acres on the village side of the river,
in which case the park, when COM
pleted, will take in all the lower end
of the artificial lake created by the
dam. A petition signed by practi-
cally the entire population of Willow
River has been presented to the viii
lage council asking it to Immediately
acquire the parcels of land described
in the map of the proposed park.
The means of financing this is now
being considered.
Landmark Will Disappear.
With public park in this location
an old landmark will disappear, the
ruins of the lumber mill, but in its
place would be beauty spot of which
the people of Willow River and the
surrounding territory can well be
proud.
The dam is part of the work con-
nected with the General Andrews
State Nursery Project of 325 acres
just north of Willow River. The work
here was begun last fall and during
the winter workmen have also cleared
the bottom land along Willow river
of trees and brush so that the future
lake would be clean.
