Thieves Busy At
FerndaIe Nursery

Thieves apparently have taken a
fancy to the Ferndale Nursery at
Askov with two robberies there with
in two weeks. The more recent one
was some time Monday night, among
the missing items being about 10 gall
Ions of gasoline, taken from a trac-
tor in the machine shed; five-gallon
gasoline can, an electric drill, two
pipe wrenches and two pipe cutters.
More items may have been taken.
The other robbery was two weeks
ago when $40 in cash disappeared
from the office in broad daylight
Monday nights raid was discovered
when John Lundgren, tractor man
at the nursery, took the machine to
the fields Tuesday morning for the
days work. 1t had just been re-
fueled the evening before, so when
it stopped for lack of gas a hasty
check-up disclosed that other items
were missing.
Both Sheriff Hannes Rypkema of
Pine City, and Askov's village mar
shall, Clarence Morgensen, have been
notified but thus far clues are lack
ing. Nursery officials have posted a
reward for information leading to the
arrest of the culprits in either or
both cases.

New Bass Rearing
Units At St. CrOix

Completion of new rearing pond
units for small mouth bass at the
st. Croix Recreational area east of
Hinckley, were announced this week
by the state Department of Con-
servation.
DR.. w. L. Strunk, commissioner of
conservation, announces that the st.
CroiX development marks the be-
ginning of small mouth program
that eventually will provide for the
Mississippi, many of its tributaries,
and several northern and southern
Minnesota streams as we'll.
The st. CroiX ponds will be placed
in operation next spring. Present
plans call for the development of
small mouth propagation on an ex-
banded scale at the ST. Peter fish
hatchery, and conversion of the
Hinckley state rearing pond to this
fish.
At present small mouth propagation
is under way at st. Peter, Lanesboro,
Forest Lake and Pennington.
The st. Croix ponds, constructed
in cooperation with the National
Parks Service, mark the first small
mouth bass development by any state
on the st. CroiX river, which is rated
as one of the best streams in the
nation for this variety of fish.

Hospital Care Plan
Has Rapid Growth

The Minnesota Hospital Service As
ISOLATION of which a number of local
units were organized in Pine county
last spring, has been experiencing
a phenomenal growth since its in
ception eight years ago.
Beginning in 1888 with only 1897
members, to the present time when
over $4,000 persons have endorsed
the Blue Cross plan of hospital care,
the hospital benefits to members have
risen from $1,388.O8 in the first six
months of operations to 100000 the
first six months this year. Today, in
the Twin Cities alone, one out of
every three persons is a subscriber.
The Association has made it possible
for the people of Minnesota to re-
ceive hospital care totaling over
100000 in the past eight years.
Arthur M. Calvin, executive di-
rector of the Association, states that
the above figures prove the value of
this non-profit, community plan for
hospital care and the important place
it now occupies in the lives of the
people.
The Minnesota set-up has served as
model for many of the 81 other
group disqualification plans approved
by the American Hospital Associa-
ton. Over 100000 people in the
United States are now subscribing to
approved non-profit, group hospital
ization plans.

Permits Necessary
To Pick Wild Rice

j. R. Stanton of Willow River, and
William Korbel of Pine City, have
been appointed as agents is charge
in Pine county for the sale of wild
rice harvesting licenses. The state
permits cost SO cents and the harvest
ers must register with the local COM
mittee men, this procedure being
necessary to prevent over-harvest-
ing of wild rice stands.
A licensed boat will be allowed for
each five to 10 acres. Since the wild
rice is an annual plant, safeguards
must be established to insure enough
waste grains to provide for re-seed-
ing the crop. Hours of harvesting
will be from 8 a. m. to p. m. daily.
Wild rice buyers must purchase a
license, costing SIS, from the Director
of Game and Fish in st. Paul.
Approximately 100 acres in the
state will be open to harvesting later
this month.

Three cabinet meetings in remote
places but perhaps of close-to-home
effect, featured the beginning of this
week.
At Vichy the leaders of 'unoccu-
pied France conferred about the flu
ture policy to be pursued in West
Africa.
In Canberra, Australian ministers
met to discuss the situation which
may develop in nearby Dutch East
Indies.
And in Bangkok the Thailand gov
eminent made an effort to avert
what may be direct japanese threat.
A few days earlier a conversation
was reported to have been taking
place between British Prime Minister
Winston Churchill and President
Roosevelt; at the time of this writ
ing, it has not yet been definitely
learned whether this conference &C
tually took place, and, for that mat
ter, it is not of utmost importance
to know, anyhow, for the two men
are in const ant communication,
through cables, long-distance tele-
phoning, ambassadors and special
emissaries all the time.

After Leap From
Railroad Bridge
New York NJ an Meets
Death at Sandstone Early
Saturday in Fatal Dive.

William Joseph Won Dwingelow, 35,
of Bronx, New York city, met death
early Saturday morning when he
leaped from the Great Northern rail-
road bridge at Sandstone into Kettle
river, the only witness to the rash
deed being Miss Joyce Lund, daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. Jens Lund of
Sandstone.
According to the girls story she
had gone with the young man to the
bridge about midnight and as they
neared the structure he told her he
wanted to 60 for swim and would
jump from the bridge to the water
100 feet below. She pleaded with him
not to, but saying he had made many
similar jumps before, he handed her
his billfold and shoes and leaped.
Body Stuck in Mud.
Miss Lund stated that she then
made her way down the bluff and
when Won Dwingelo did not appear
ran home to tell her parents of the
tragedy. Mr.. Lund, Constable Axel
Larson and Jake Barnick then went
to the river but it was not until the
following forenoon that the body was

international News Review

so the compromise was discussed
of submitting West Africa to
joint German and French "prO-
lection.
In reality, it would be the same
as though the Germans alone took
over that territory, and it was likely
to be so considered, even to the ex-
tent that the United States might
break off diplomatic relations with
Vichy.
For Dakar is that West African
point which is closer to the South
American coast than any other,
and which, therefore, has been
proclaimed zone of interest to
the United States.
The American state department has
made it very, very clear this week
that it distinctly does not want to
see Dakar in German hands, even
though they may, for the sake of
appearance and compromise, be
joined with those of the French.
Australian Fear.
Alleged japanese manipulations in
the Far East have made Australia
jittery, and extra sessions of the
cabinet have discussed the possible
nearness of danger.
At Canberra it is felt that if
the Japanese from French IndO-
China move into Thailand, they
are likely to continue their drift
southward-tO the Dutch East
Indies, uncOmfortably close to
Australia.
Should crisis arise, the Australi-
ans will be left pretty much to them
selves, for fighting forces of the Brit
ish empire are engaged elsewhere,
and not only that, for, it must be re-
membered that Australian troops
have been carried far overseas for
operations in Europe and Africa.
Thus, the question is: Will Australia
