White House Yacht
Puts 10 Sea After
Quiet Day in Port
President Begins Cruise
Delayed SO Hours by
Rough Weather
Ry the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
ABOARD U. S. S. BENSON, at
Sea of Florida Coast, March 22-
President Roosevelt began his delay
ed deep-sea fishing vacation trip to-
day when the White House yacht
Potomac put to sea with the Chief
Executive and other high Govern
ment officials aboard.
The sun was out and there was
scarcely more than a ripple on the
water as the Potomac hoisted anchor
in Port Everglades harbor shortly
after 9 am. About 100 persons
crowded the pier point to see the
presidential yacht head into the
Atlantic.
In the Presidents party were In
terror Secretary Ickes. Attorney Gen.
eral Jackson, Rear Admiral Ross T.
McIntire, Harry L. Hopkins, Maj.
Gen. Edwin M. Watson and Stephen
T. Early, Mr.. Roosevelt's secretary.
Weeks Cruise Planned.
In a carefree cruise on salt water
for week or 10 days, the President
planned as complete freedom from
the burdens of his Office as it ever
is possible for him to attain.
With the starting hour of the va
cation at sea postponed for 80 hours.
persons keeping watch on the shore
for the departure of the Potomac
and her escort destroyer Benson
wondered whether sea conditions or
portentious development in world
affairs caused the delay.
Responsible authorities said mes
sages In code were delivered to the
Chief Executive at intervals yester-
day. But officials on the small, gray
hulled Potomac said Mr.. Roosevelt
was waiting for a favorable turn
in the weather off shore before start
ing his cruise.
Weather Reported Poor.
No explanation was forthcoming
from the Potomac of the Presidents
decision to remain in port second
night
MI Roosevelt had boarded the
yacnt thursday night and word had
gone out that ne would sail imme-
diately. Reports of adverse weather
arrived, and the former Coast Guard
cutter remained tied up to a dock
until yesterday morning. Then she
gave up her berth to a car ferry
from Havana, moved out into the
harbor and lay at anchor until sail
ing time, swinging with tide and
wind
The yacht was anchored directly
astern the German freighter Arauca

flag. The freighter escaped from a
British warship and took refuge at
Port Everglades in December, 1889.
and has been here ever since.
Guards on Arauca.
Sailors with rifles patrolled the
docks nearest the Potomac and Ben
son, and one bluejacket was sta
tionea at the Arauca gangway.
Late in the day the Coast Guard
was ordered to station guards on the
stern of the Aruca and also on a
dredge tied up nearby as long as the

Preference Scheduled
For Defense Traininq
Courses in Schools
Employment Service
Will Recommend Types
OF Workers Needed

Defense training courses will be
given preference in public vocational
schools here and throughout the
Nation under new plan announced
today by Sidney Hillman, associate
director general of the Office of
Production Management.
United States Employment Service
officials will recommend to local
schools the types of defense Jobs
for which workers are needed and
the number of persons that should
be trained to fill the jobs
The courses probably will supple
ment, or If necessary replace, pre-
employment evening classes now
being conducted in the District for
about $50 white persons and some
300 colored persons, school authori-
ties here said.
Courses Not Determined.
Just what courses will be added to
the local curriculum is, of course,
not yet determined. But an execu-
tive OF the employment service office
here pointed out today that there
have been a number of calls re-
ceived asking for machinists, ship
filters, toolmakers, structural iron
workers, telephone lineSmen, weld
ers and structural engineers. Most
of these calls have been from nearby
Industrial areas, such as Baltimore,
where extensive aircraft production
expansion is in progress.
Except for requests of such spe-
cialized nature, the local employ
ment service reported that WASH
ington appears TO have enough
skilled workers at present to meet
local needs. 1t was stressed, how
ever, that with the arrival of spring
demand for skilled men in the build
ing trades will be exceptionally
heavy. With defense activity ex-
pansion being reflected in a number
of private employment lines, local
shortages have been reported in ex-
perienced stenographers and typists
and in operators of certain Office
machines.

"Too Many Cooks Spoil

A homely old adage but a very true
one when the renovizing or undermining
of your home is being considered.
Some one to do this; some one else to do
that; and still others to do other things
result as you know in confusion, as well
as multiplication of profits and a
serious division of responsibility.
On the other hand, The Eberly Plan
eliminates all these objections through
efficiency. ALL that is to be done is
carefully planned. ALL the work

Expensive Targets

Using insulators on power lines
as targets for bullets or rocks is
an annoying and expensive prac-
tice with the users of the elec-
tricity eventually footing the re-
pair bill. The author of the fol-
lowing paragraph is unknown
but his plea for a little more
consideration by youthful sharp
shooters is worth needing.
There's lot of fun in blinking"
with % rifle. Kids even like to
throw stones at mark. I did. There
are lots of targets and marks around
most any farm. But somewhere, al
most every day somebody uses a
power line insulator or fuse as
target. The insulator may cost only
SC to soc, but the replacing of 1.-THE
mans time, the truck, the gasoline
will probably cost SIS or $40. At the
same time someone who is baking
cake, brooding chicks, or milking the
cows, may be without power. Break
ing insulators is m % stly due to
thoughtlessness. Whether the insu-
lator is on private or coop line,
the users eventually pay the bill.
Teach Bill not to break insulators,
and you'll save the bill

ILL ADVISED
(The Faribault JournaD

\ I
Few Americans will condone or
approve Col. Lindbergh's charging
that the President, England and the
Jews are attempting to drag us into
the war.
We know that the English people
would take us in. They have over
5000 agents scattered over our coun-
try and their propagandists have been
working on us for long time. They
cannot be blamed; they'd be foolish
if they didn't want us in.
We believe that President Roose-
welt would take us in and as we have
oft pointed out we believe that he
has been trying to do so.
However, to throw such an ac-
cusation at our Jewish people is en-
tirely wrong. Our Jews are among
those groups in this country who have
been prosecuted and such charges
only 60 to make more intolerance.
The truth is that there are Jews
who would plunge us in, but that
isn't peculiar to any nationality or
creed. There are what we term war
makers among all of our peoples and
instead of charging any class or group
with agitation for war, we should
all realize that no matter what our
race, creed or color, we are Ameri-
cans and as such, until Congress de-
clares war, we have perfect right
tO nrOpOSo Or OppOSo If
Lindbergh's words would have been
much better left unsaid.

BOARDING BRINGS WAR
editor Askov American:

f1SkOV AII10TlCdI1.
Continuing Mr.. Thomason's dis
cussion about boarding and starving
amidst plenty. This has been the
main trouble with the world in gen.
eral since the dawn of history-more
so the past 20 years, especially, in
this country. In 1929 the "Best
Minds" told us that it was neces-
sary to pull in our belts, although
we had plenty of everything. Since
then we have been pulling in our belt
q am on the last notch of my AZ.
Anybody has seen squirrels, stor-
ing up nuts for the winter, but they
do not go hungry while storing up
and everybody works. A few super
squirrels among men make the rest
store up and refuse to give it back to
the workers; that is why many work.
ers have to 60 without the necessi-
ties of life, amidst plenty, which they
have produced. Throughout history
people have been unable to enjoy
what they produce, because a few
parasites hoard the products up,
which are eventually destroyed in a
war over some imaginary thing or
another. After the war people are
left to shift for themselves and re-
build and the things the war was
fought over are forgotten in some
new flight of fancy.
Still things are getting little bet
ter and perhaps people will eventual
ly attain degree of intelligence suf-
ficient to enable them to divide the
good things among themselves on an
equitable basis. If this is general
ly applied throughout the world wars
will cease largely on account of the
cause of wars would have been large
ly removed. Such ideas as we old
radicals espouse are far from popu-
lar among those who believe in speci-
al privilege.

TOO MUCH PROPAGANDA
deer River NeWS)


Never in the history of this nation
has there been anything comparable
to the flood of insidious propaganda
that is now being turned loose upon
an unsuspecting public for the pur-
pose of confusion, and in many cases
unmistakable intimidation.
Much more than half of the total
weight of mail that comes to our
desk in envelopes, is nothing but
propaganda. And easily 81 per cent
of it goes into the waste basket with
out ceremony. The stuff stinks to
high heaven with political rotten
ness, so much so that we have to
empty the basket practically every
morning in order to work in the
office at all.
And believe it or not, the chief Of
fender in this propaganda racket
is government. It is almost pitiful
to note to what depths government
agencies will stoop to get into the
newspapers with crackpot scheme
almost entirely without merit of any
sort.
A few years ago editors were prom
ised they would receive no franked
mail unless request was made for it.
The suggestion was warmly approved.
Personally we made just three re-
quests. It didn't mean thing. To-
day we are receiving more than
twice the bulk of propaganda that
we did five years ago. One morn
ing recently single bunch of mail
brought over from the post office
had exactly fourteen pieces of propa-
ganda in it.
The reason is self-evident We
are living under government of
men, not laws. New organizations
are being concocted every day. It is
their job to attempt to convince the
public that they are doing something
and worth what they cost. They
were organized to make possible the
appointment of more persons to the
political payroll. If the. public knew
how rotten the whole scheme is, and
how worthless, there would be a
small revolution.
And it is costing the public treas
ury millions. These millions are
landing in the waste baskets that
politicians may thrive. Meantime
we are urged to scrimp and save
and bear heavier taxes and buy
bonds so that defense programs may
not be delayed.
We are hearing talk of "gasless
days., to promote defense. What
we need is gasless politicians.

GERMANY SHOT FIRST
Editor Askov American:

Editor ASkOV American:
Two years ago President Roose-
welt said that the neutrality act would
keep us out of war, but the attorney
general rules that the neutrality act
means nothing. It may be that the
President thought so at the time he
said it, but he found out that Hitler
did not recognize neutrality or agree
ments with Stain or others. All the
nations Hitler has robbed and is rob-
bing now were neutrals. So neu-
trality means nothing to Germany.
A year ago Roosevelt said: 81 prom
Use you mothers I shall never send
your sons to fight on foreign soil"
Later it became evident that Hitler's
submarines were active in the north
ern Atlantic, and it was feared that
Hitler would build bases on Ice
land for his submarines to operate
from in sinking our ships. So the
President sent small force to Ice
land to prevent that.
It is sensible to change attitude
so as to meet changed circumstances.
It is plain the President meant that
he would not send our men to fight
on the eastern continents, and he
has not done it so far; but we must
protect our ships and shipping. Hit
ler by his henchmen has acted in
the first act of the drama by sink
ing some of our ships.
The second act for the protection
of our ships must start with our
hunting the pirates at sea, and then
shoot at sight. That will be to shoot
second when first shooting was done
by the Germans in the first act in
the drama. Now the Germans friends
are stating that Roosevelt has ordered
American ships to shoot first at any
Nazi craft, so it is plain that he
will have war.
Many readers will look at that and
not think it over, and then misunder-
stand it, as all people are not ardent
thinkers, but it is an action of war
to sink other nations ships, the same
as the sinking of one of our ships
was during the first World war. At
that time, the members of the house
of representatives in congress could,
with the exception of three, under
stand that it was an action of war.
So Germany started the war on us

trouble in his own backyard. Let us
bide our time, let us keep cool, let
us not send our boys to be slaugh-
tered on the battlefields of Europe.
Much as we may abhor Hitler, Stain,
and Mussolini, after all it is not our
war. America must conserve her
natural resources for constructive
work. If we enter another European
war, as we did in 1917, chances are
that we will be in European power
politics to stay-the very thing that
America was established to get away
from. And the very thing that mil
lions upon millions of immigrants
came to America to avoid.
AS stated, we may have our sympa-
thies for various countries, but, we
are now Americans and we must look
out for our own country. In so do
ing we can set a good example to
others and be of aid and guidance to
bewildered world when the terrible
slaughter is over.
Let us put our own house in order.
There is much to be done for human
welfare and progress right here in
America. The federal debt is pill
ing sky high, but the national ad-
ministration has diverted our at
tention from it to the war scenes
in Europe. Some of our war-minded
who talked much against the rising
federal debt are now very silent on
that question. A few years ago
Congress placed ceiling of As bill
lions on the debt. Does anyone know
how far we have now gone beyond
that ?

SCHOOL NEWS
General News.

All of our schools are now in seS-

ers' Institute has been scheduled for
November "a and 25 at Sandstone.
We have had no notice from the
state department in regard to date
of our annual school board meeting.
Sectional meetings of the Minneso-
ia Education Association are sched-
uled in various parts of the state
during October. It is legal and prop
er for school boards to allow schools
to close on the days that teachers
or county institute meetings. These
days are considered as school holi-
days and need not be made up. Our
first six weeks period will be COM
pleted in most schools on October
10. Report cards and reports are
then issued shortly after. Our teach
ers all aim to use the standard nor
NAL curve system of marking, as
near as possible. This is the stand
ard system of A. and B. (above
average) c. (average) D. and F. (be-
low average).
Outdated Books.
Kingsdale district 1O1, also found
old copyright dates among most of
the new books received. These will
be returned to the dealer as the state
Department of Education insists on
books of copyright dates less than
10 years old. It is usually best to
order direct from the publishers and
not only get latest copyrights, but
also save 20 per cent of the "job-
bers" price.
