Macy Band Leader

In the opinion of musical experts
the outstanding band in the United
States Navy is headed by former
Willow River boy, Fred Kinney, lead
er of the band on the U. S. S. Arr
IONA. Bandmaster William Meyer,
who has observed various musical
units, recently wired the following
message to the Daily Searchlight
News at Bremerton, Wash, where
young Kinney took his musical train
ing: II have just witnessed concert
given by the band of the U. S. S. Ari-
IONA whose leader is former Brem-
erton musician. Without hesitation I
will pronounce this the outstanding
band in the whole Navy. Bandmaster
Kinney is well known in the north
west so hope this message will reach
his many friends"
Fred Kinney attended grade school
in Willow River some years ago and
later attended high school at Bremen
ton where he became prominent in
musical circles, leading an orchestra
which appeared at many public func-
tons. He later joined the Navy band

Rites Held For
Aged Farmer

Funeral services were held Tues
day of last week for Henry Kuisti of
Finlayson, who passed away Satur-
day, July 26, at the county farm near
Hinckley, where he had made his
home the past year since the death
of his wife. He had been in failing
health for some time.
Mr.. Kuisti was born in Kuortanen,
Finland, on February Is, 1864, and
at the age of 20 came to the United
States to make his home in North
Dakota. He operated large grain
farm near Allandale. He was mar

Amanda Saarinen. In 1887 they

isti was member, and interment was
made in the Finlayson cemetery, Rev.
And. Lepisto officiating. The pail

Slight Increase
In Cattle Prices
Portion of Last Weeks
Loss Regained; Slaughter
Cattle Fully Steady.

South st. Paul, Mimi, August S,
1941: Following the sharp losses en-
forced in lamb prices during the past
week, there was moderate recovery
during the first two days of the week
and about half of the loss was re-
covered. The reaction on slaughter
spring lambs figured about 40c. Other
slaughter classes have not changed
materially. Replacement classes were
offered too lightly to accurately test
the market. Curtailed receipts proved
the tonic in reverting the slaughter
lamb price trend, as the dressed
lamb trade in the East failed to
show any marked improvement. Good
and choice western spring lambs sold
within a price spread of $11.15 to
$11.40 and natives ranged from SLOTS
to Sill. Yearlings at $3.50 had con-
siderable wool credit. Western feed
er lambs topped at $1O.85.
Cattle Improved.
All slaughter cattle met improved
demand and there was tendency for
the market to strengthen. Spots on
good and choice slaughter steers, as
well as on cows and bulls, showed
Csc upturns. Choice mixed steers
and heifers landed at $12.25 and there
were several loads of steers, all rep
resentative weights, at $12. Bulk
medium to good steers moved at $40
to $11. Choice heifers brought SIP
with most common and medium
grassers at $3.50 to $3.50. Vealers
held steady, bulk good and choice
kinds cashing at $1,000 to $3.50. A
little Improvement was noted in de-
mand for stock cattle. Good year
ling stock steers reached $1,000.
In the hog division, barrows and
gifts 100 pounds up and all weights
of sows ranged 10c to 15c higher,
while light lights and feeder pigs were
weak to Csc lower. Tuesdays top
was $11.20 paid freely for good to
choice 100 to 230 pound weights,
with the bulk ITO to 24O pound Of
ferings moving in a $10.85 to $11.2O
spread.

List Pointers For
Health Champions

Examinations for county All health
champions are now in progress in
many counties in the state, the win
ners to 60 to the final examinations
for state championship at state Christ
mas seal headquarters in st. Paul
during state fair week.
Warnings of points to be watched
by boys and girls seeking the title
have been issued by the Minnesota
Public Health Association, with which
the State Medical Association will
conduct the final examination. Teeth
should be clean and in repair, posture
should be correct, and corns, bunions
and callouses will deduct from the
health score.
Modern health protection measures
are important. Boys and girls who
had not been vaccinated against
smallpox or taken the tuberculin test
lost much-needed points in the 1910
health examinations. Approximate
ly one-eighth of those examined had
not been protected against smallpox
and % boys and IL girls had not been
tested for tuberculosis.

BY GEORG STRANDVOLD

A great part of recent attention has
been centered around the foreign
policy of Japan, and its possible eff
feet on her relations with other great
powers. 1t all came about in this
manner: Japan, for reasons not en-
tirely clarified but possibly having
to do with Berlin pressure, occupied
French Indo-China and intimated that
Thailand (Siam) might be next; this
action was resented by the United
States-having, by the way, no juris-
diction in southeastern Ashland at
just about the time when a quarrel
seemed ready q to ensue, japanese
bombers dropped some of their mis-
siles at Chungking, temporary Chi
nese capital, at just about the place
where an American gunboat lay an
chored. The gunboat suffered very
slight damage, no lives were lost, no
wounds caused, and the affair could
very easily have been passed off as
just one more of those accidental
mistakes which occur whenever an
armored ship under a neutral flag
ventures into zone where war is in
progress.
Apology Accepted.
Times being what they are, and
tension what it is, it was, of course,
a foregone conclusion that an tissue"
was to be made of this in itself in
significant trifle. And stern Wash
ington protested in solemn words
equally stern Japanese
statesmen in equally solemn words
apologized: AS nothing really worth
had happened, the United
States government accepted the
apology.
But the Japanese occupation of In
was something else again.

Help Stop Traffic
Deaths This Month

Elsewhere on this page is a map
of Minnesota showing by counties
the number of traffic deaths in each
during the first six months of 1941.
In 81 of the 81 counties there were
no fatalities of this nature during
that period but in the other go the
number of men, women and children
killed was ZIG.
The Minnesota editors "Save 100
Lives" campaign begun last year
came up to July l with every prom
Use of success, with the state setting
national record. But, since the
first of this month severe "epidem-
ic' of traffic deaths and injuries has
been sweeping the state, bringing
much unnecessary suffering, death
and sorrow.
Last year August was one of the
worst months in the states history
from the standpoint of traffic deaths
which means that August is danger
month. 1t also means that if the cur
rent epidemic of deaths on the high
way can be checked enough lives can
be saved this month to end up the
13-month period with 100 lives saved.
More important, it means that un-
necessary bloodshed on the highways,
and unnecessary sorrow in the homes
of neighbors and friends will have
been saved. With the cooperation of
all, courtesy on the roads, and a little
saner driving, accidents can and will
be avoided. August, ordinarily a
death-on-the-highway month, can be
made a life saving month.
