be duplicated in a continuation
of the drive TO aid in war relief

first appeal came by letter from
Mabel I. Boardman. national
secretary. who has been director
of the Volunteer Service of the

War. Norman Davis, national
chairman, wired all chapters to-
day as follows:
AT the international confer
ence of all Red Cross societies of
the world, held two years ago. a
unanimous appeal was made to
all nations to enter into agree
mentS prohibiting the bombing
of open towns and cities or at
least to establish zones of inn
munity where civilians could
seek sanctuary.
This appeal has not been
needed In fact established

Tragedy Strikes
Pine City Home

Tragedy struck suddenly Monday
when Jackie, 7-year old son of Mr..
and Mrs. John c. Nordstrom of Pine
City, was killed in haying accident
on the family farm east of that viii

fell off, landing on the ground be-
hind the horses, in front of the wagon
wheels. The heavy load passed over
him, crushing his chest.
Jackie had just completed his first
year of school. He was a bright lit
tie lad, well-liked by all who knew
him. Together with his parents, he
leaves six brothers and two sisters to
mourn his early passing.
Funeral services were held Wednes-
day afternoon. Friends and neighbors
join in extending sympathy to the be-
reaved family in the loss of loved

One of the provisions of the 1941
Emergency Relief Appropriation act
just passed by Congress, forbids WPA
work relief to Communists, Nazis and
aliens and affdavits are now being
distributed to all employees by the
state WPA office as its first move to
comply with this requirement.
Under the act, WPA funds are
prohibited for the payment of wages
to any person:
/. Who is not citizen of the United
States or who does not owe allegiance
to the United States; or,
2. To any person who advocates or

ton that advocates the overthrow of
the United States government; or,
3. To any person who is an alien, or
a Communist, or a member of any

swearing that they do not come under
these classifcations will be taken as
prima facie evidence, S. L. Stolte of
the state office said. In addition, the
act provides that any person who
makes false statement on them will
be deemed guilty of a felony and can
be punished by fine of not more
than $4,000, or Imprisonment for not
more than two years, or both.

From the very beginning of the cur
rent European war, Soviet Russia has
been an enigma, and an ominous one
No one could know what Josef Stain
the virtual dictator of the Russians
might feel like doing. England and
France had courted him, but had been
a bit slow, and the result was that
Adolf Hitler-although never having
seen the Soviet autocrat-became his
very good friend without, however
entering into any alliance with him
In Italy, Benito Mussolini looked with
dubious eyes at the game played be-
tween his dear good friend Hitler and
his potential enemy, Stain.
AS the fog of uncertainty slow
ly is rising from the soil of Eu-
rope, it becomes almost evident
that these three, Stain, Hitler
and Mussolini, are planning the
establishment of a triumvirate
designed to rule continental Eu-
rope-and the British Isles, too,
if they can.
The Russo-Finnish war last winter
must now be considered a sort of
dress. rehearsal as far as the Rus
sians are concerned. 1t wasn't so
very successful to start with, but

out to crush one of 8, the final re-

Ever since that day in March when
Finland was subdued, Russia re-
manned quiet until about two weeks
ago when it compelled Estonia, Latvia
and Lithuania to accept occupation
and full military control.
On that occasion, attention was
called to the fact that Stain had
massed troops along the borders
of the realm of his bosom friend,
Hitler. What might that mean?
So far, it did not seem to mean
so very much, practically speaking.
