New Stamp Plan
Will Be Discussed

A meeting to consider the FSCC
will be held at the highschool audi
forum in Sandstone Friday, Septem-
Der 13, at p. m. Representatives
from the Surplus Commodity section
of the Division of Social Welfare will
be present to discuss the operation
of the Stamp plan
Under the Stamp plan orange
stamps will be issued. For every $40
issued in orange stamps SIS will be
given in blue stamps for the purchase
of surplus commodities listed month
ly with the merchants. At present
there are % food products on the
surplus commodity list.
Persons eligible are recipients of
Aid to Blind, Aid to Dependent Chill
dren, and Old Age Assistance, of Di-
rect Relief, Soldiers Welfare, Works
Progress Administration, and Farm
Security Administration, and Border
line cases. The administrative costs
will not be more than the present
plan, but should be less, since there
will be no cost of distribution, It is
thought that this plan will benefit
the merchants and clients and the
county.
All persons interested are invited
to be present at the meeting.

mament of our navy in both oceans,
second to none, and arming our army
to the teeth with the best that we can
invent and make.
We need to hurry if we are to
avoid the same catastrophe that has
come to other countries. We are a
democracy. There is no reason why
every man who enjoys the privileges
that we do should not be willing to
serve his country for at least one
year. There is also no reason why
we should dilly-dally and delay in
passing a universal service bill.
The country should be militarized
from the inside out. The Nazi and
Communist and the Pacifist shout
against universal service. 1t might
come to pass that the privilege of
free speech would be lost to us all
What could be more honorable than
to serve for one year or more in an
army selected in a democratic way?
Should we sit back and let the other
fellow take our place in national de-
tense?
After the bill is passed all these
Americans of the right age will be
glad to be placed where they can
train to do the most good for their
country and will live as true and
honorable citizens when they return
home.
We must win the battle of the
United States or we may as we'll join
the slave states of the Czechs, the
Poles, the Danes, the Norwegians, the
Dutch, the Belgians, and the French.

DOES NOT DRAW LINE
Editor ASkov American:

Rollin L. Peterson last week made
some remarks about my recent ar
ticle in the American, and is trying
to lead me in the right direction.
First he says: Does Mr.. Rasmussen
imagine that the religion of Germany
and Italy is any different from that
of other nations on the earth? My
answer is no, as I suppose Peterson
means only the so-called Christian
nations; but my intention was not
to draw a line between them Ger
many and italy, and other nations
as far as religion goes, but only to
show that they are not living up to
Christian religion to which they claim
they belong.
If we ask one of them: Are you a
Christian, the answer will be yes,
even if he happens to be one of the
adherents to that religion preached
by Antichrist, whom the apostle Paul
said was there at the time he was
there.
The Germans and Italians show by
their cruel actions that they believe
in the anti-christian religion, when
they call themselves Christians and
act contrary to it by robbing one
country after another. According to
Webster's dictionary, an anti-Christi-
an is an opposer of Christianity, and
Christianity is love others as you
love yourself. The Germans and Itali-
ans are acting contrary to that term.
No wonder that the Christians
stick solidly to their religion. Apostle
Paul tells us that it is the will of
God that they shall do so. After
writing about Antichrist then he
writes in End Thessalonians 2, II, r.:
"And for this cause God shall send
them strong delusion that they should
believe a lie: That they all might
be damned who believe not the truth
but had pleasure in unrighteousness."
That is as it is in my old Bible, but
in my new Bible it reads: "And for
this cause God sendeth them a work.
ing of error, that they should believe
lie: that they all might be judged
who believe not the truth, but had
pleasure in unrighteousness." 1 cite
from the same Apostle as Mr.. Peter
son did.
I can not understand how Mr.. Pc
terson can say that Christianity is
not religion. According to Webster's
dictionary it is. Here it is as we
read it there: ''The recognition of
God as an object of worship, love
and obedience" That is religion, but
it is not sure that it is Christianity.
We can not get out of that Christi
anity is religion, but only very little
of religion is Christianity. That re-
quires knowledge and obedience of
the teaching of Jesus, and where do
we find that kind of people who
possess such qualities? 1 know that
l am falling short of loving all others
as l love myself.

Vows Are Spoken

In single ring ceremony Sunday
afternoon at 2 p. m. Mr.. Wayne Mot
tonen, son of Mr.. and Mrs. Victor
Mottonen of Meadowlands, was united
in marriage to Miss Edna Turk,
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Karl Turk
of Finlayson. The service was read
in the parsonage by Rev. H. Spor-
leder, pastor of the Peace Lutheran
church.
The bride was attended by Mrs.
VIM. Mottonen, Mrs. John Kurki and
Miss Jennie Mattson. Mrs. Richard
Turk was matron of honor. The groom
was attended by VIM. Mottonen, his
brother, Richard Turk, brother of the
bride, John Kurki, the brides uncle,
and Waino Hamline, his uncle.
Following the ceremony reception
for the bride and groom was given
at p. m. at the Pine River commune
ty hall.
Guests attending from away were
Mrs. Kate Kurki and son Walter from

In America we are permitted to
worship God in our own way, and
permitted to find in Gods word the
comfort, the hope, the joy, and peace
for the soul. In America the church
bells still ring their welcome to the
downcast, the weary and the faint. In
America the church is still permitted
to serve the spiritual needs of man,
and lift him above the drab and sor-
did things of life, and point him to
a richer, nobler and more beautiful
life.
Next Sunday, instead of washing
your auto, or cutting your grass, or
just wasting your time, why not plan
to attend some church in your COM
munity. Remember that the freedom
of worship is a privilege, so why not
use it?

RASMUSSEN IS CORRECT

Editor ASkov American:
Of all the contributions appearing
recently in these columns, liked that
of Mr.. Rasmusson's the best. It was
very logical. Christianity and God
mean love to us. Love not only your
friends but also your enemies, is a
command of God.
Whether this can be done is ANOTHER
question. In my opinion love cannot
be created by law, and 1 think
Christianity has failed in that respect.
All the different denominations of
religions of Christianity are built up
on the theories of that of Mr.. Rollin
Peterson. Every one of the pa claim
to follow the command of Christ and
the Bible.
One thousand nine hundred and
forty Christmases and no peace on
earth or good will to men. There
is not much difference in what has
happened to Jericho and that which
is happening to London today.

MUST PREPARE SPEEDILY

Editor ASkov American:
We have witnessed through the
papers the battles of Poland, Norway,
France, and now Britain.
Now we are watching the battle
of the United States which has its
headquarters in Washington. This
battle is bloodless battle so far. It
started when Hitler sent his machines
into France. The war across the
pond is no phony war as the French
and British can very well tell you
The battle of the United States is
raging on many fronts. The rear

Immediate Future.

Some observers hold that Germany
will be able to crush Britain by an
air war, and may not have to resort
to an attempted landing of troops
But military experts in Berlin dc
not believe that; they still feel rather
certain that the bombings are mere
ly a prelude, and that the real action
will follow later on, and some of the
German political authorities seem to
feel that only through an invasion
will it be possible to obtain a COM
promise peace with England.
There are three theories un-
der discussion right now; one is
that England may find it prudent
to make the first move in the di-
rectiOn Of a compromise peace
when the German air attacks
reach their climax; another is
that a quick peace can be dictated
by the Germans as the result of
an invasion by the army, and the
third is that the air war and the
naval blockade of England very
shortly will make it necessary for
the London government to accept
any terms which Hitler may feel
like prescribing.
So far, however, the English show
no signs of giving up.
