Roosevelt Declares

WASHINGTON, June SPY
= President Roosevelt, saying
that 1--WE have no right to take
chances with the national safe
ty," recommended to Congress
today legislation authorizing
immediate construction Of the
st. Lawrence seaway and power
project.
Declaring that no comparable
power, shipbuilding and trans
portation facilities could be
made available in the time re-
quired to construct the project,
which would be done jointly
with Canada, the President said:
Production and more produc-
ton is the keynote of our all
out race for national defense.
Electric power and transporta-
ton are limiting factors in the
production, of planes, guns,
tanks, and ships.
1.-THE enemies of Democracy
are developing every hydro
electric resource and every wat
erway from Norway to the OAR
danelles. Are we to allow this
continent to be outmatched be-
cause short sighted interests op-
pose the development Of one Of
our greatest resources?"
Mr.. Roosevelt declared he had
been advised the project could
be built in four years, adding:
"Under emergency pressure 1t
may be completed in less time.
I should like to agree with the
people who say that the coun-
try's danger will be over sooner
than that.
"But the course of world
events gives no such assurances;
and we have no right to take
chances with the national safe
ty.
II know of no single project
Of this nature more important
to this country's future in peace
or war. Its authorization will
demonstrate to the enemies OF
democracy that, however long
the effort, we intend to outstrir
them in the race of production
In the modern world, that race
determines the rise and fall OF
nations"
II hope that authorization
will not be delayed"

Work OF Signing
Farms Completed
l94l Soil Building Pro-
gram Will be Greater
Than in Other Years.

The sign-up for the 1941 .Agricul-
tural Conservation program has now
been completed. The exact number
of farms signed up has not been
tabulated, but it is certainty that
the sign-up will be greater than any
in other years, according to Mel
vim Anderson, chairman of the Pine
County A. c. A.
This has been accomplished in spite
of the fact that road conditions were
the worst in history, and due credit
should be given the community COM
mitteemen for the accomplishment
All indications show that a great
er percentage of the soil building pay
ment will be earned this year than has
been earned any other year. There
will be a large increase in the use
of lining materials as is shown by
the fact that in 1910 approximately
1900 tons were spread; whereas, in
1941 orders have already been Sc
cured for approximately 5000 yards.
This has been possible as result of
the governments grant of aid pro-
gram, and this part of the program
fits in very nicely in Pine county.
1t is a well known fact that most
of the land needs lime, and the county
committee feels that even more farm
ers should avail themselves of this
opportunity. Lime orders can still
be taken.

BY GEORG STRANDvOLD

Ominous were the speeches de-
livered at exactly the same hour last
Sunday when President Roosevelt
spoke at Staunton, Virginia, and Hit
Ter in Berlin; the American president
had gone to the birthplace of Wood
row Wilson to honor the memory of
him who led the United States
through the preceding World war, and
Hitler appeared in Berlin before his
so-called parliament, there never to
enact legislation but merely to shout
approval of each syllable dropping
from the "Fuehrer's" lips.
Mr.. Roosevelt defiantly de-
clared that the United States is
ready to fight, If necessary, and
Herr Hitler at the same moment
assured his people that next year
the armed forces Of Germany
would be even better-and bet
ter equipped-than now. Both
statements indicated that the end
of the war is not yet in sight. .
But Hitler did not say, what he
had said on former occasions, tnaC
he would twin the war this year..
Perhaps he thinks such statement
becomes trite by repetition.
Battle Near Baghdad.
No, there is no restriction of the
war zone; to the contrary, it is be-
ing constantly expanded. Just now
the principal combat area is the
country of Iraq or Mesopotamia.
Some claim that this is the place
where the Garden of Eden was To-
cated-but that's long time ago, and
just now there certainly is nothing
paradisaical about it, for modern
armies fight with the most diabolical
weapons where once roamed
the earliest of mankind's dreamers,

made in the thirty years they have
been in Askov and with all their
children home for the happy event,
Mr.. and Mrs. S. Chr. Dixen of this
community celebrated their golden
wedding anniversary Friday.
The festivities began early in the
morning when a group of friends
called to serenade them, and other
friends and neighbors also called to
extend congratulations. A COM
munion service for the family was
held in the Danish Lutheran church
in the forenoon and a dinner was
served during the noon hour in the
church parlors.
Open House in Church Basement.
An open house, also in the church
basement, was held in the evening
when many gathered to share with
Mr.. and Mrs. Dixen few hours Of
fellowship. The guests were well
coined by Adolf Jensen, master Of
ceremonies, and the program opened
with a solo by Miss Ruth Sorensen,
accompanied by Miss Ruth Hansen
at the piano. Other numbers were
talks by Rev. M. Mikkelsen, Supt.
Otto G Hoiberg, solo by Miss Ruth
Hansen, with Miss Dorothy Peter
sen playing the accompaniment, and
songs by the entire group.
Short talks were also given by H.
P. Rasmussen and Mrs. Frede Stott-
rup. Jens p. Miller, a friend Of
Mr.. and Mrs. Dixen since the early
days at Askov, spoke briefly of the
part they had played in building
the community and their work for
the school and church. Mr.. Dixen
responded with a brief talk and ex-

Iraq possesses some of the rich

It is said that the Iraq government
