BY GEORG STRANDVOLD

At the present moment, Norway is
the only actual battlefield in Europe
but there are many reasons for be-
lieving that other parts of the Old
World soon will be incorporated in
the theater of war, and among these
possibilities Sweden is usually men
toned as the earliest.
1t is conceivable that as the Brit
ish and the French increasingly ham,
per the transportation of German
troops to Norway, Hitler may find it
necessary to try to force his way
through Sweden. That will mean
another war. Should Russia then,
all of sudden, desire to envigorate
its newborn friendship with Ger
many, there is the danger of Rus
sian attack on Sweden-which will
mean still another war;
The Balkan states are restless, and
Mussolini's policy appears to involve
potential conflicts in the Mediter-
ranean.
Also, one should not forget that

Canning Factory
Plans Discussed
Pine City Businessmen and
Farmers Hold Meetings
to Study Project.

A group of businessmen and farm
ers in Pine City have recently been
studying the possibilities of the estab-
lishment of canning factory in Pine
City. Two meetings have been held,
one on April 6, and the second on
April Is. At these meetings the pos
sibilities were thoroughly discussed
and steps taken to induce some COM
pany to come to Pine City and estab-
lish plant. No definite plans have
yet been made, but several commit
tees of businessmen and farmers have
gone to various cities to inspect the
factories there and to consult with
the owners as to what crops might
be the best to raise for canning
around Pine City.
Mr.. Buzzard was appointed chair
man of the investigating committee
at the meeting on April g. At the
meeting April Is, Mr.. Bonn of the
American Canning Company of Min
neapolis, spoke about the operation
of factory and said he believed
that Pine City was a good neighbour
hood in which to start such an enter
prise. He raised the question of
whether it should be a one-line plant
to can single crop such as peas or
corn, or whether it should be a plant
to can two or three crops.
Mr.. Bonn said that financing the
project would be the main problem
as it would require about $4,000 to
install machinery, purchase cans, ETC.,
in order to get it started; and stated
it would be quite necessary that the
enterprise be capitalized right. The
next thing necessary would be to
have good superintendent who knew
how to operate a canning factory,
for if the factory were not operated
correctly, there was the danger of
losing money. He said that he thought
there were buildings in Pine City
which would offer enough space; also,
that it first would be necessary to
have only the machinery.
Various farmers and growers then
asked Mr.. Bonn questions in regard
W Vic NOilliIIlSo VI OClllCS dIlQ OlIlSI
vegetables, but Mr. Bonn stated that
it would take about $4,000 to start
a canning factory for one crop alone
and when started, the factory should
be sure of enough acreage to give
it capacity work. Mr.. Bonn also
stated that it would not take much
to change over to some other crop
such as tomatoes and he also stated
that berries would be very easy to
pack.
After a great deal of discussion,
committee was appointed to make
further investigation. Those ap-
pointed were County Agent Max Nc
Millin, Leo Kunkel, w. A. Sauser,
Leonard Machart and Richard Down.
ing. After this committee has in
vestigated various plants, another
meeting will be held.

International News Review

the Netherlands, Belgium and Lux
embourg are more or less in the line
OF battle, and may be invaded at al
most any moment.
Tough and Slow.
Definite predictions are, of course,
impossible at a time when events
happen with incalculable rapidity and
crushing suddenness, but it appears
to be the consensus of opinion among
all well-informed observers that just
now we are living through merely the
first stage of the European war, and
that it may develop into even more
of a real world war than was the
last clash of that name.
Also, there is agreement that the
war now in progress is likely to be
very tough and very slow one.
The opposing groups are, it would
seem, of such approximately equal
strength that victory or defeat can
be a matter of guesswork only. There
is no known certainty on which to
base forecasts.

Roadside Signs
Removed
State Highway Department
to Begin Cleanup Cam
paign on May S.

Backed by resolutions and petit
tons of women's clubs, civic groups
and tourist and resort organizations,
the state Department of Highways
will launch Spring house cleaning
campaign of its own on May 5. The
drive, to be carried out on larger
scale than perhaps ever before in
the states history, will have as its
objective the elimination from state
trunk highway routes of all private
roadside advertisement signs and bill
boards erected on highway right-of-
way.
These signs, the Highway depart
ment warns, are not only illegal and
unsightly, but are an important fac
tor in the states safety campaign be-
cause they frequently distract the
motorists attention when he needs
it most in the business of driving, and
because they sometimes tend to OBJ
scure visibility. Numerous resort
signs littering the roadsides also have
been found to destroy their own pur-
pose because they destroy the very
natural beauty which the resort pa
tron-the tourist-visits Minnesota
recreational regions to see.
May is Deadline.
The Department of Highways is
giving the owners of such signs and
billboards until May to voluntarily
remove them from trunk highway
rights-of-way. After May 5, in view
of the obvious impossibility of calling
personally on all individuals con-
cerned, every Highway department
district maintenance engineer has
been explicitly instructed to have the
regular crews &C out on all trunk
routes and remove such signs. If
they appear to be of valuable con-
struction, they will be removed and
left near the site where they were
erected, where owners can pick them
up. If they are small signs that ap-
pear to have little value they will be
disposed of.
1t is not the purpose of the cam
paign to discourage the erection of
uniform directional and travel guide
signs. Resort owners or groups of re-
sort owners or residents located off
trunk highways will be granted per-
mission to erect group sign posts with
the names of resorts, post offices,
country stores or other locations,
neatly printed in black on small white
panels of uniform size such as those
installed in many areas last year by
the Forestry Division.

Sn'ith-Hughes Plan
For AskOu School

Definite arrangements are being
completed this week for the creation
of Smith-Hughes agricultural sys-
tenn at the Askov school. This de-
partment has been discussed at var
ious times and has constantly been
looked upon as a favorable addition
to the school.
Lawrence Lamberty, who is now
agricultural instructor at Bruno, has
been engaged for the position here
and is scheduled to start July l. The
system consists of a 3-year course
in which there is both practical and
technical knowledge to gain. The
pupils will carry on their projects on
the home farm under the personal
supervision of the instructor who
will spend much of his time during
the summer months visiting the var
ious projects.
1t is also planned to have evening
classes for adults and possible eve
ming or day classes for out-of-school
youths. One-half of the salary of
the agricultural instructor is paid by
the Federal government.
The pupils who take the course
will receive regular high school cred
its for it the same as they receive
for history, mathematics or any other
subject.
Mr.. Lamberty has been in Askov
several times lately and has now
rented the A. w. Conway residence,
but will probably not move into
same until about June l, at which
time he expects to cease being a
single man.
