ASKOV


The Einar Jensen family had an
extra passenger along to town Sat-
urday evening when one OF their
White Leghorn hens rode on top OF
the car into the village. The pitch
mixer" was not noticed until the two
mile trip was completed and it started
to look over the sights on Main street.
It was soon captured however, and
unceremoniously dumped into the car
for the return trip.
MIR. Jensen is learning to take such
unusual occurrences calmly as some
time ago after having visited at the
home of a neighbor the evening be-
fore, he found a dog in the back seat
of the car the following morning.

Many Attend Festival.

The Grundtvig festival at the
church Sunday exceeded expectations
in all respects; there was an excel
lent attendance at the church serv-
ices and communion service In the
forenoon; the dinner committee had
expected about 160 to 200 but they
had to feed nearly 800. 1t was too
cold to carry on the program in the
park so that part was held in the
church. The speakers were Supt.
Otto G. Hoiberg, Rev. M. Mikkelsen
and Rev. Carl c. Rasmussen of Los
Angeles, Calf, who each had mes
sage which attracted close attention.
Then there was afternoon coffee In
the spacious dining room.
In the evening there was a capaci-
ty attendance again, but on account
of the cold weather the scheduled
outdoor program had to be staged
in the church basement. In spite
of the difficulties of providing room
and scenery for the campfire program
the performers did fine job and
were accorded an abundance of ap-
plause. AS usual the evening terml-
mated with refreshments.
All who attended will surely agree
that it was splendid day of pleasant
visiting and true fellowship for which
much credit is due the various COM
mittee members who had spent much
time and effort in their respective de-
partments.

III various Od1lSu papers Tic lct.
tiers N. A. D. A. are seen weekly.
They represent the National Ameri-
ca Denmark Association, an organiza-
ton of Danish societies and indi-
viduals who have for their objective
the rendering of aid to Denmark as
soon as Denmark is able to receive
such aid under free and independent
government.
Committees are being established
throughout the United States by the
organization. There is also a COM
mittee in Askov, which at the pres
ent time is headed by Adolf Jensen.
Each society that becomes member
of the head organization selects a
representative and these representa-
tives in turn constitute the local COM
mittee.
It is the wish of the organization
to establish fund of $500, 900 at this
time, but more about that in a fu-
ture issue.
A subcommittee has been put in
charge of providing 5000 Christmas
packages for approximately 5000
Danish seamen who are now serving
England either directly or indirectly
in the war. c. H. w. Hasselriis of
New York city, is chairman of this
committee and through the various
local committees he hopes to gather
at least $4,000 from people who de-
sire to give little toward this worthy
project. Each donation should cover
the cost of one Christmas package
which is one dollar; then in turn
there will be placed label on the
package on which will be inscribed:
This is gift from --------------
(name and address of the one who
gave the dollar). Thus the seamen
will actually know where the pack
age comes from. Each individual or
society is at liberty to give one or
more dollars or Christmas packages.
To make it convenient for the pub
lie to make their contributions it
has been arranged to have slip in
the post office where you can sign
up and make your donation. Ask
either Marvin or Svend for it. But
do it soon as it takes considerable
time to prepare these packages and
get them to the boys at sea.

Wear Scarf or Shawl
Over Your Formal Gown

AS an avenue for expression in
romance and feminine allure, there
is no accessory that surpasses the
witchery of picturesque scarf or
dainty shawl. That is, perhaps, the
reason for the preference this sea-
son for flattering scarf or lacy shawl
instead of bolero or jacket to
wear with evening clothes. This
new acceptance of evening shoulder
covering is further noted in the cape
let shawls of self fabric, or long
tulle scarfs matched to the dress.
The vogue also accounts for the ap-
pearance of ostrich neck rufus in
the formal evening picture.

LYNN SAYS:

You're going to sell nutrition to
your family not just because of
its virtues but by attractively gar
nished, well-cooked food. Here's
how:
Whenever possible serve the
vegetables with the meat, as
Drowned potatoes, whole carrots,
Drowned onions. These can be
placed around the meat for eff
fective coloring.
Radish roses with parsley
brighten almost any kind of meat
platter.
Spinach, chopped, seasoned
and mixed with white sauce can
be made into nests or mounds
and served around meat.
Baby beets may be scooped and
filed with green peas served
around the meat or on a plat
ter by themselves.
Ham can be scored in circles
for a change by using a small
cookie cutter and a maraschino
cherry placed in each circle. Cir
Giles look best if they overlap.
Bananas or pineapple slices
broi1ed make a tantalizing &C
compartment to baked ham, roast
beef or lamb chops.
Slices of orange topped with a
smaller slice of jelly is excellent
for meat platters.
