Deadline To Avoid
Penalty Set For
November Is, 1941
NO EXTENSION
Cars Without New
Plates January 1st
Ruled Off Highways

Owing to a new provision of the
motor vehicle registration law,
earlier re-registration becomes nee
essary this year. Accordingly the
re-registration tax for 1912 will be-
come payable October 1, of this
year.
Under this provision, If the own
er Of an automobile does not make
application for re-registration on or
before November 18th, he will have
to pay an extra fee because Of his
delay. The extra fee will be 25c
a day for the first two days and
after that will be stepped up to
$1.50 by December list. Seven days
after January 1st, IL the re-regis-
tration has not been paid, it will
be delinquent.
On January 1st, 1912, all motor
vehicles must carry new license
plates showing new registrations
for the year or be ruled off the
streets and highways. There will
be no operation of motor vehicles
under old license plates for any
reason whatever.
After January list, If new plates
have not been secured, additional
fees for delayed registration will be
attached. These additional fees
for delay after the tax becomes
delinquent, will accrue at the same
rate as Of former years, namely,
25c a day for the first two days
of such delay, and SOC month
thereafter. These fees will be in
addition to the fees for delayed
registration that may have accrued
before January 1st Hence, it is
possible for the total of the fees
for delayed registration to accrue
to the amount of $4.00.
There can be no extension of the
time for registration without pay
ment Of the extra fee, nor for the
use Of number or license plates
issued for the past year. Thus,
November 18th, is the deadline for
motor vehicle registration without
penalty.

Local Boy In
Service On
Kodiak Island
Salmon Can Be
Caught By Hand
Says Sgt. Buzz Brown

Streams so full of salmon they
can be caught by hand, catching
short wave programs from Mime
apolis' WCCO, and bears so close
they don't leave camp unarmed are
all a part in the life of a soldier
in the new base on Kokiak Island,
Alaska, as described in letters re-
ceived here by Sergeant Robert
(Buzz) Brown, 215 Coast Artillery
Anti-Aircraft.
Buzz, who left with the Man
kato battery for Camp Haan under
federal induction last winter, wrote
the letters-first they've received
from him-to his parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. George Brown, in Sank Gen.
tire.
"There are a number Of fresh
water streams coming down out
of the mountains and they are
SO full Of salmon and trout
you can catch them by hand"
he wrote. II know that sounds
impossible and I wouldn't have
believed It If I hadn't seen it
myself"
Small and large game are plenti-
full on the island, home of the
great Kokiak bear, said to be the
largest in the world. "The game
warden said that there are plenty
Of bear but they wouldn't bother
anyone, but we always go armed
when we venture far from camp
just as a sort Of precaution. The
license for hunting bear is fifty
bucks so I don't reckon many of
us will be returning with a bear
rug" his letter said.
He spoke Of week-long rains that
reminded him Of the days Of last
spring in Camp Haan," and the
difficulty Of building roads because
Of the swamps and hills. Military
regulations reared its head to stop
enlarged descriptions Of the base
and topography, he explained.
Their Alaskan issue Of clothing
included everything from hip boots
to woolen mufflers, he said. They
are laying a telephone line out to
a couple Of search light emplace-
ments on the island and it's really
rough going, he said. "The only
time you can go out or come In
from there Is when the tide Is
out" he said.
For amusement the boys have a
to explore with fishing
and hiking, and Buzz described one
hike. I'VE followed a stream for
miles back into the mountains. At
times the walls on either side were

Ten Others Awarded Ger
tificates For Meeting Re-
quired Reading Standard

Marvin Marshall, second grade,
st. Paul's school student, must lay
claim to the title of the "readin'est"
boy in town.
He shared honors-for his second
consecutive year-with Betty Ann
Faulhaber, third grade public
school student, and received the
Junior Literary Guild books from
the Bryant Library for reading the
most books as ten others were
awarded certificates for meeting
required reading standards in the
fourth annual summer reading pro-
gram that closed September first.
Tabulation Of books read by the
285 registered students mounted to
well over 3000-highest in the his
tory of the program-for the three
summer months, Miss Mary Ann
Skinner, librarian, announced. The
program was begun by Miss Ber-
nice Finnegan before her resigna-
ton for June at the library and
continued under acting librarian,
Mrs. J. J. Cotton.
While Marvin, with 146 books
read this year and a 1910 sum-
mer reading ample enough to
give him a total Of 251 books,
ranked tops in his school for
the second consecutive year,
Betty Ann in her first win had
set a real goal for others to
school at with 1856 books read
during the summer.
Interesting point is that with a
division Of the sexes in the winning
this year that has marked the pro-
grams four year course. In 1910
two boys were winners; in 1899 two
girls; in 1889 a boy and a girl.
More interesting point Of COM
parison is that 285 students this
year read more books than have
ever been read in the program to
date. 199 Of them a year ago read
over 2400. Average reading per
student however remained about
the same though the number Of
students reading required amounts
to get certificates dropped rapidly
from SO a year ago and 80 the year
before to only 10 this year.
To the two winners go books
they themselves select from the
Junior Literary Guild lists. Betty
Ann wants "Maor and the Kitten"
by Helen Hoke. Marvin will add
to his collection begun last year
with cousin Tobey," the Robert
Anderson book Seven O'Clock
Stories"
The program was inaugurated
four years ago as an aid to enlist
continuous student interest In
books and the library, 1t was point
ed out. In the four years Of the
program the lower grade students
have dominated the picture. A year
ago for the first time a sophomore
met the required reading and this
year there Is another.
The program as outlined calls
that students through the fourth
grades read 60 books throughout
the summer with their report on
each; that students from the fifth
to the seventh read and report on
40 books; and from the 7th through
the 18th grades 20 books.
Students Of the st. Paul's school
who this year meet the standards
are: Dorothy Berg, grade 6; Gene

Trailer Issue
Again
In RoseviIIe

ROSEVILLE - The trailer
camp situation again confronted
the Roseville Village Commits
sion at its Monday meeting after
having come up for heated dis
cussion at sessions for the past
several months.
1t was interjected into the
business, Monday by the ap-
plication of Herman Haselhuhn
for a trailer camp at a site on
the west side of Gratiot below
Frazho road.
In the discussion which fol-
lowed the application, Hasel-
huhn, a Roseville tavern opera
tor, claimed that the Commits
sion had committed itself to the
issuance of a license at a prev
ious meeting.
He charged that a promise Of
a license was also carried in the
published proceedings of the
Commission.
President William Harpe r
denied any commitment had
been made and stated that no
such action could have been
possible under the policy of the
Commission.
Harper's assertion was sup
ported by Attorney Russell j.
La Barge who said that a COM
plete check of the proceedings
failed to show any commit
ments. He said that the appli-
cation had been tabled at that
time.
LaBarge also charged that the
proposed camp did not meet the
requirements of the Trailer
Camp ordinance prior to the
amendments which were passed
June rs.
Under the added amendments
which tighten the ordinance, the
written consent of rs per cent
of the property owners within
a quarter mile radius we'll be re-
quired before the commission
can accept the application.
Haselhuhn was informed of
this and indicated that he would
make an effort to obtain these
signatures in view of the fact
that he has already constructed
a central building on the pro-
posed camp site.

WASHINGTON, July 10 -
In the five-year period from
1888 to 1888, the FBI handled
an average of 35 Investigations
dealing with espionage and sab
otage each year.
From July, 1888, through
June, 1899, there were $50
cases while in the year follow
ing there were 1850 investiga-
tons of national defense mat
tiers. One day recently, there
were over $500 national defense
complaints dumped in the G.
mems laps.
In spite of the increase in the
number OF defense matters which
the Federal Bureau of Investiga-
ton has had to handle since the
outbreak of the war in Europe,
Director j. Edgar Hoover is au-
thority for the statement that,
with the exception of the recent
sabotaging of their merchant
vessels in u. S. ports by sailors
of informed German and Italian
ships, there have been revealed
no organized acts of sabotage by
foreign agents within the United
States.
This does not mean that there
has been no sabotage in Ameri-
can plants since the war began,
and it is not a fact that should
lull anyone into a false sense of
security. The saboteur and the
spy are still on the job and it
has become increasingly import
ant for law enforcement officers
and the general public to keep
the work of the organized work
ers under control.

"SOREHEADS" DO
MOST OF DAMAGE

All recent cases of sabotage
which have occurred have been
the work Of individuals. Dis
gruntled employees, workers who
feel that they have not been done
right by and therefore have a
personal grudge to settle with
the boss or the company, have
taken out their spite by damag-
ing plant equipment or its pro-
ducts. But these sabotage at
tempts have not been the tech
nically perfect efforts of organ
lied groups of foreign agents,
operating to destroy or impair
American industrial production
for defense.
Most Of the tricks of the pro-
fessional saboteur are of course
known. They have been catalo-
gued ever since the last war,
and that of course makes IL cas-
Ter now to watch for them, and
prevent them.
There is the old stuff of dam
age to machines by breakage,
manipulation, abrasives, chemi-
calls and so on. The use Of bombs
and incendiaries. Damage to
power stations and power trans
mission line. Damage to raw
materials. Damage to precision
tools. Theft or destruction of
blueprints or specifications.
Damage to lines of communica-
tions and transportation. Pollu-
ton of water supply or of food
supplies. Damage to personnel.
Those lodges are all known and
can be guarded against If not
actually prevented.
SABOTEURS FORCED
TO NEW TRICKS
But because the police and
protection methods are better
now than they were in the last
war, the saboteur of today has
had to invent new tricks. And
now and then a man will come
up with a strange device that Is
diabolical in it its cunning.
Take the case of the phono-
graph needle that crippled q
battleship.
Here was one that could hard
ly have been detected but for the
wonder of the x-fay. In this
case, the steel phonogroph feeble
was imbedded in the insulation
of an electric cable. x-ray photos
showed that only the point OF
the needle penetrated the outer
layer of the metal armour pro-
tecting the cable core. Yet this
was enough to cause q short cir
cult which put the ship out Of
commission.
Another extremely simple case
was the throwing Of q handful
of BIB shot in the crankcsse Of an
airplane motor. 1t could have
caused by complete wreckage
Arson, destruction Of property
by Are and by bombing are the
time-honored tricks of the sab
oteur. Fire Is 20 easy to start
