Health Ward
Information furnished by Pine County
Nursing Service

The northwestern subcommittee
met at the home of Mrs. F. A. An
derson in Denham Friday, May "a.
There were 20 women present. Mrs.
Kenneth Gay called the meeting to
order. Mrs. Ed Danelski, secretary,
read her report, as did also Mrs.
Victor Shafer, treasurer, and both
reports were accepted. Mrs. Tracy
Street, program chairman, introduced
Miss Virginia Karlson who gave a
talk on her monthly report and also
gave splendid talk on the public
health movement.
Assignments were made for the
next meeting at which the group
will study and discuss the State
Health departments and make o. B.
packs. This meeting will be held at
Rutledge on Friday, August %.
Mrs. Herb Johnson, chairman of
the advisory board, gave a talk on
the finances of the nursing service,
which are depleted, and urged pay
ment by school boards if this service
is to continue.
A trip to Duluth was made by
Mrs. Herb Johnson and Miss Karl
son to see about the possibility of
re-instating the WPA housekeeper
for whom Miss Karlson had planned
several baby cases. There seems to
be little possibility of this, as train
ing school for workers such as this
is to be started first, perhaps with
supervisor for three counties. We
hope this goes through as we need
this service.
Of the 100 rural schools there were
IL that the county nurse was unable
to visit. These were districts l, %,
33, SO, SO, 70, 80, SO, 80, Ill, III
and 124. In the town and city schools,
every other grade was inspected, al
though this was not completed in
some of the schools. There are 5000
school children in Pine county, MAX
ing enough work for four or five
nurses, including home visits.

WASHINGTON, Oct 26. tUP)-
Special forms that must be filled
by conscientious objectors to mill
tary service were distributed to
local draft boards today to aid in
determining whether such men
should be deferred from training.
They will be passed out to men
who file claims for deferment on
these grounds in the regular draft
QUESTIONABLE which will be filled
out by all regiStrants in the order
in which their numbers are drawn
in next Tuesdays lottery.
The form is divided into two
claSSificationS: Those willing to do
non-combatant service and those
unwilling to serve under any cir
cumstanceS. In either case. the OBJ
jector must establish that his op-
position is by reason Of my reli-
giouS training and belief
Draft Director Clarence A. Dyk-
stra pointed out that the con-
scription act provides that men
establishing such claims cannot be
inducted into the army If they
object to all forms of military
training" such men, he said, can
only be assigned to work of nation
al Importance under civilian diree
ton.
The provisions, he said, are gen
orally liberalized" in comparison
to similar regulations Of the World
War draft which required that
conscientious objectors had to be
members of a recognized religious
sect whose greed forbade parti-
cipation in war.

Non-P olitical Methods
Are Needed

During recent years fictitious class
differences between employers and
wOrkmen have built up unfortunate
disregard for the old established Am
erican principles of service, partner
ship, and mutual best interests of
large and small industries and busi-
nesses. Employers and wOrkmen
have suffered much and gained very
little from these changes.
1t does not take very much re-
search in statistics to satisfy anyone
that our new and great industries
that have come along with science
and invention, and which include
electrical products, automobiles, air
planes, and new wonders in COM
municatiOn, comforts and luxuries.
have increased employment in this
country. Nevertheless, there are 10
million of our citizens that are un-
employed
Is it because business, finance and
all human and economic activities
are kept under the thumb of a Gov
ernment that has repudiated the ira
ditiOns Of the past and traded estab-
lished practices for experiments? We
are told that idle money is in hiding.
and that CVer-taxed wealth is out of
work and that bankers and financiers
do not know which way to turn for
securities.
In the crisis that our country is
facing it would seem reasonable to
expect that the many billions of
dollars the Government has called
for and which will eventually come
from tax money, should be spent
with some wisdom, and in accordance
with such sound judgment and ex-
perience as men who have made their
own marks, and proven their quail
ficatiOns in private enterprise, might
suggest, or approve.
Such suggestions as the above do
not Indicate favor with plans car
ried through at the beginning of the
World War under the direction of
dOllar-a-year-men, or by the NRA, a /
few years ago. Those were political !
eXpedients and experiments that do /
not need to be repeated or resurrect-
ed,
A strong national program for de-
'ense must be under non-pOlitical
direction, or it will fail.
Milford chronicle., 1940-06-07
Another Advance
Through Research

/ II was scarcely more than five
years ago that a new type train es-
tablished a nonstop record run from
Denver to Chicago. The three-car
streamlined train was propelled by
energy supplied from a 660-hOrse-
power Diesel engine.
Although Diesel power had been
used industrially and for marine
purposes for years, it remained for
autOmOtive engineers to develop an
improved type Of Diesel applicable
for rail use.
Experimental as that Denver-Chi-
cagO run may have been, il introduc-
ed a new era of railroad operating
economy and efficiency in passenger
service. On Armistice Day in 1884
the irst Diesel-pOwered streamlined
train went into regularly-seheduled
service, presaging the amazing
growth Of a great new industry To-
day 6S famous mainline passenger
trains are Diesel-pOwered, operating
over annual schedules of more than
100000 miles-a most remarkable
five-ysar advance.
Just recently the first public an
nouncement was made that a new
and perhaps more important service
is opening for the application Of
Diesel power. Since last December
railroad executives have been watch
ing with interest the tests of a new
type Diesel-pOwered freight lOeOmo-
tive, so flexible and powerful as to
be economically applicable 10 every
type Of freight service.
There is good reason for believ-
ing that the application Of Diesel
power to freight service is Of even
greater significance than in passen-
ger and switching service" annOun-
eed R. K Evans, Yice-President Of
General Motors in charge of Diesel
development Contrary to the some
what widespread public impression
that Diesel power is only applicable
to light high-speed trains, it can now
be said that the important economies
incident to Diesel operation are Of
even greater value In handling heavy
duty jobs, Il finally Is possible TO
think i;l terms of the complete Dies
elization Of entire railroad systems,
with all the collateral economies and
improved efiiciencies attendant upon
the use Of a uniform type Of power.
Another new industry seems to be
ready to make its claim for further
recognition through development Of
its research laboratories after years
Of study.

FARN MIsHAPs USUALLY
INCREASE DURING sUmMKR


From May through AuFuns Is TIE
time when most accidents Of ail
kinds cause losses on farms. In
cluded among the accidents that hap
pen most frequently during the sum.
mer months are fires and their al
tendanr losses In buildings and live
stock, and personal injury accidents
to farmers and their workmen.
Records of Insurance companies
show that more than third Of farm
fres come ia the summer monthh.
The fewest farm fires occur in jan
uary and February. Barn fires cause
greatest summer damage, probably
due TO lightning and spontaneous
combustion Of new hay which Is
placed IN lofts during the summer.
Personal accidents 70 farm work
ers would naturally increase during
the time that seasonal work Is great
est Most Of these accidents result
from hasty, careless action on the
part Of farmers who are rushing 70
get certain szrln tasks completed.
Director George L. Schuster OF the
Delaware Agricultural Extension
Service states that THE frequent
losses suffered BY Delaware farmers
because OF careIessness during the
busy Summer season might well
serve as a warning that exerting a
little extra Watchfulness at this time
Of year win pay big dividends in
tlHie and money losses

THE PRICE OF LIBERTY


Democracy throughout tho world
Is threatened. Men seeking 4 strong
hand to lead them ia q crtAis are
willing to surrender their liberty in
order to gain this leadership. Once
liberty Is lost Il Is rarely ever re-
gained without bloodshed and much
suffering.
One time good men may By the
desire for power become insane and
grow reckless and inhuman. Practl-
cally all dictatOrs hate God and hold
the masses OF people in contempt and
have no regard for human life or the
rights Of others. The present world
crisis may show that the dictator ma
tiCns for the time being have an adj
vantage over the democracies but in
the end they cannot gain anything
beneficial by having given up their
liberties.
There are some rights which are
God-given and rulers nor govern
ments have no rights to interfere
with these rights. Every person has
the right to worship God or not to
worship God as they may desire so
long as this does not interfere with
some one else doing the same. Peo-
pie have the right OF free speech.
Only when this carries treason
against good and orderly government
should It be curbed. People have the
right to assemble in orderly assem-
blies for any purposes within the
bounds of democratic government. |
They. have the right 10 cast free
and untrammeled vote. They have a
right to dilfer. They have a right to |
he fruits Of their own labors.
Everywhere there is a pull and tug |
IN the liberties NJ the masses. All the
iberties which have been secured by
generations Of struggles and suffer-
ngs unless they be jealously guard
d will vanish and become non-exis-
ent Eternal vigilence is the price
/ liberty.

The total operating revenue OF the

Taxes took S54, ,e77 600. Stated an
other way, in 1888 dividends took
$1.O0; paid taxes took sl.61. Maid
wages took s2.05. At the rate tsxes
are increasing, they win soon fase
more than wages, which means that
the wage Garner and rate payer are
being sacrificed to the tax gatherer.
Public officials who promote So
cialization Of the power industry by
building government power pro-
jeets over the nation, never mention
the tax-destroying character OF their
program. They overlook the fact
that such government plants are tax
exempt The tax money taken from
highly-taxed private plants is used
TO help build the tax-subsidised uub-
lie plants and destroy the private
