In the news dispatches one sees refer
snce to the "Sissimen" of Finland and that
causes either amusement or wonderment.
The word doesn't mean what it seems to
imply, rather just the opposite. 1t is a
derivative of the Finnish word, sisu, mean
ing determination, and the Films in their
war with the Russians, have demonstrated
they are determined people. If Russia
had ''Sissimen" like Finland, Stains fight
ers would not be the sorry lot they are.

600 had registered.
Mr.. Frazier explains that the
numerous cotton pickers in the dis

such cases the person registered
should write to H. G. Richardson,
chairman of the Pinal county
registration board, once they are
located.

Nov. Is, but in the meantime all
persons registered will receive
further questionaires to fill out. In
