FORT LEWIS, Wash, Nov. TO-
Robert J. Becker and Norman E.
Fuller, members of the Medical De-
tachment, l63rd Inf, were promot-
ed from privates to privates first
class, Nov. l, and have also been
assigned trucks, along with Private
First Class Walter M. Katarzy.
These men have been with the de-
tachment since Sept. Is, 1910, and
have considerable experience both
in caring for and driving army We
hicles, especially during the current
maneuvers held this last summer in
California and Washington. Other
men OF the unit assigned to trucks
at the same time are: Presley Ev-
ans, Ray Wood, Douglas Smith,
Micheal Traynor, William Morse,
Lowell Plyman, and Robert Bur-
rington. All of these last seven men
are selectees, who joined the de-
tachment early in the summer Of
l941.
Private Donald Sleizer, of this
detachment, has been in the sta
ton hospital here since Sept. %,
awaiting discharge for disability.
According to latest reports, those
at home may expect to see Private
Sleizer in the near future. In view
of his work here. having been as
signed to a truck, the detachment
deeply regrets losing Private Slei-
zer, but having served his year, we
know how anxious he is TO get back
to civilian life.

enlisted in this detachment Sept

discharged made their marks and

Three other men from Libby,
whose names have not been men
toned heretofore, and who deserve
credit for their achievements, are:
Albert Nelson, private first class
and veteran truck driver. Clarence
Hogan, private; and Douglas Saun-
ders, private first class and dis
pensary clerk Those at home can
be rightly proud of these men and
the detachment values their serv-
ices in their appointment capacities.

train No. 3 arrived Sunday after
noon. The occasion was the coming
home OF Libby's portion OF Company

several months of guard duty on the
Mexican border. Libby surely gave
her soldier boys warm welcome,
and the bronzed youngsters who
wore Uncle Sans uniform under the
blazing Arizona sun all summer
certainly appreciated it.

Only two bodies" of water in Pine
county will be open to wild rice

game wardens or authorized agents,
the fee being SOC. Ten boats will
be permitted on each of the above
areas. Hours of harvest are from 8

League Officials
Uphold Protest

AS a result of a special meeting of
the board of directors last Thursday
evening in Sandstone, the play-off
series in the Twilight D-Ball League
was called off, the final standings
reverting to that occupied by the
teams at the end of the regulation
playing schedule.
The meeting was called because of
a protest by Askov over Friesland's
use of player who had been on the
Finlayson team most of the season.
The directors upheld the protest, to
2, with two, Arthur Berg of Fries
land, and DR.. E. I. Parson of Askov,
not voting.
A motion was then made by w. H.
Stephenson, representing the OFF,
GERS, to discontinue the play-offs,
rather than begin all over again. The
motion carried. The official stand
ings thus leave the Federals in first
place, Friesland and Finlayson tied
for second, and Askov and the OFF,
GERS in a third place tie. The Fed
erals were not eligible for the play
offs, thus automatically raising the
other teams one place higher.

Speaks In AskOv On
Farm School System

Under the auspices of the Askov
Young Peoples society j. o. Christi
anson, superintendent of the School
of Agriculture, st. Paul, gave an in
teresting and instructive address
Monday night in the Y. P. S. assembly
hall. He spoke on the farm school
system and the training it offers to
boys and girls, stating that it was not
necessary for one to be high school
graduate in order to attend as the
course that could be taken was based
on the Danish folk school system.
In speaking on current events the
speaker said that the turmoil in
Europe should not be taken too seri-
ously or entered into by America
as there are enough troubles here
that could be taken care of first.
Due to lack of advance notice only
a small audience was present to hear
Mr.. Christensen but those there ac-
corded him close attention. Lunch
was served in the church basement
following the meeting.
