Tornado Relief Chiselers
Should Reap Whirlwind-

Investigations of the Anoka tornado relief dis
tributon, brings to mind the appalling thought that
we as Americans have deviated long ways from
our aims of honest government and its divisions
Has political rottenness entered even into those
things which affect the well-being of needy and
distressed children, men and women?
It is hopeful sign that thorough investiga-
ton of this situation is being made, and we hope
that it be continued until proven otherwise, or until
the guilty have been made to pay the penalty.
Investigation may prove that there was nothing
wrong with the distribution of the Anoka tornado
relief but the old saying: Where there is smoke
there is fire. makes 1t imperative that the nvestiga
ton continue unhampered
All relief funds must be distributed with hon
esty. If that has not been done, may the winds Of
righteous Indignation fan the flames of justice to
point where fear will stop crooked-minded men from
playing with human heart strings and from mis-
appropriation Of funds provided for the Of the
relief Of needy people

Communists Oppose Bill

Senator Norman J. Larson, of Ada, is making
strong fight to get through the legislature bill ne
has sponsored to bar Communists and others who ad-
vocate the teachings Of Communism from Minnesota
public schools, ran smack dab into opposition last
week when Carl Winter secretary of the Commun-
list party appeared before the house education COM
mittee attacking Larsons proposal.
Larson placed before the committee commun-
icaton declaring that certain departments at the
University included "crack-pot theorists spreading
subversive propaganda" The department of educa-
ton In particular Is composed Of rabid revolution
lists and that one professor has taught Communism
to students and teachers they will be teaching
the same CUFF to children in grade schools
Still, Winter. in his fiery speech before the
committee, had quits" enough to maintain that the
proposal did not apply to the Communistc party.
but nevertheless he opposed passage Of the bill.
Why, then was he anxious to appear before the
committee to lambast the proposal II 1t not
fact that he knew teachers Communistically inclined
are permitted to exc out their drivel in schools
What's more surprising Is the fact that the house
education committee gave him audience

Snow Removal Is Costly

Announcement made last week by the engineer
to the effect that Todd county removal this
year has cost more than $4,000 indicates this pro-
gram is not the least expensive one in which the
county is engaged.
However, but for the program many farmers
would be unable to bring products to market they
would in turn be unable to visit trading centers
and result there would be sharp decline in
business. Not Of the smallest losses would
be the reduction in the gasoline tax collected since
with roads blocked, travel would be only fraction
Of what it Is now
Snow removal, which is called winter mainten-
ance, cannot entirely be charged off to snow re-
moval in its entirety. Such winter clearing makes
1t possible to get roads into condition in the spring
much faster than would otherwise be the case and
the depreciation Of roads that cleared in win
ter is much lower than that Of roads that do not
receive this
an added cost to counties and the state a whole,
1t Is program that is now necessary. With travel
almost entirely dependent upon the automobile
roads must be kept in such condition. both sum-
mer and winter, that they be used at all times
Unfortunately most county and township roads
were built at the time when winter travel not
thought practical a general thing. With the
policy now of building roads higher and with great
ditch area, the cost of roads will increase but
the cost Of removal will drop At any rate,
snow removal Is here to stay since the public now
demands roads that open at all seasons.-Long

Americas Huge Task Must Succeed

This will of the American people will not be
frustrated either by threats from powerful enemies
abroad by small selfish groups individuals at
home" said President Roosevelt Saturday, when
Axis victory by aiding Great Britain and other
countries now fighting for freedom.
The United States has undertaken a huge task to
supply implements of to Great Britain and other
countries in pursuance of the lease-lend law,
and let there be mistake, this staggering task
must be completed thoroughly. Axis countries look
upon this move virtual declaration of war; and
they, considering it So will do everything possible
to thwart plans
Considering that this act was inescapable for
the wellbeing of our land, it is the duty of every
citizen to willingly assume his share of the burden.
There was honest opposition to the bill, but now
that it has been passed there must be unanimity
and there is. Our President said: 1.-The determna-
ton of America must not be INSTRUCTED by pro-
fiteerng 1t must not be obstructed by unnecessary
strikes of workers, by short-sighted arrangements
or by deliberate sabotage. For unless we win there
will be no freedom for either management labor"
At the present time shall give aid, increasing
in volume until the necessary supplies for victory
have been provided AS to whether shall event
ually be forced to become actively engaged in war
only the future tell If aid short war proves
insufficient other means will doubt, be needed
However, If we carry with needed supplies
so that England and other countries carry on
the war to victory, will not be needed. We
definitely committed to do everything in our
power by providing needed supplies to prevent an
Axis victory, and there can be no turning back now
In this critical time there is need for the great
est unity of effort among own people, and from
past experiences know that unity will prevail
If we give adequate aid to Britain and the other
countries our own chances of involvement in actual
warfare will be correspondingly diminished and it
is up to us to act and work accordingly Our course
has been determined and it shall not be frustrated

Green Light" was largely due to
the inspiring central character,
Dean Harcourt Of Trinity Cathe-
dral. Now, at a time when his
strength and wisdom are needed
more than ever before, he appears
again in this new novel by Lloyd
c. Douglas.
Barbara Breckenridge, pursuing a
frivolous and purposeless career,
was startled by the terms of her
great-grandmother' will. These
provided that Barbara was to re-
ceive a half million dollars, and
asked-a request Barbara could not
well refuse-she should attend the
service at Trinity Cathedral on
the first Sunday after her gradu-
alton from college. Dean Har-
courts sermon sends the girl on
curious adventure that involves
the lives and fortunes Of varied
groups of persons.
On the surface, this is the love
story Of Barbara Breckenridge, but
under the surface, there is a great
er story. Throughout the book,
the old legend of the sculptor,
Pygmalion, who loved his statue
of Galatea so dearly that she came
to life, is constantly in Dean Har-
courts mind as a symbol of the
power of love so graphically IL
Illustrated in this novel.
YOU CAN'T GO HOME AGAIN
BY Thomas Wolfe
The last of two novels which
Thomas Wolfe completed just be-
fore his tragic and untimely death
is the rich, full-blooded, poetic, and
profoundly moving story Of a lost
modern who found himself. 1t
might also be described as the ad-
ventures of an honest man in
search Of truth. It represents
Wolfe's last and maturest work,
and is packed with significant
meaning for our time.
The central figure of this pam
oramic canvas is George Weber,
gifted young writer. AS an ar
fist, he wants to see life clearly
and see it whole, and then to tell
the plain, unvarnished truth about
it. This gets him into a lot of
trouble. He writes a book about
his home town, putting into it
everything he knows about the
place and about his family, friends
and neighbors. When the book is
published, people feel that he has
exposed them naked to the gaze of
the world, and the whole town
rises up in arms against him. For
the first time Weber realizes how
MORALLY afraid people are to face
the truth.
This event comedies with the be-
ginning of the depression and the
collapse Of all the false values of
the 1920s, and George Weber sees
clearly that men desperately need
to accept truth if they want to be
free, and he rededicates his life to
the search for it. The quest leads
him into many strange adventures,
and the conclusion, as Wolfe draws
it, is a stirring challenge for these
troubled times.
The depth and vividness Of the
multitude of scenes and incidents
that crowd these pages are in
Wolfe's characteristic vein. The
characters, too, are as diverse, and
as real as life itself. From what
other writer can one catch such
flashing insights into the central
core of human existence?
IT know of no writer who has
lived in this decade who could dup
licate Wolfe's performance. It is
warm with life. It is full Of the
joy and the zest of life, yet it never
loses the pains and the futility of
life"
