MY SISTER AND
BY Dirk van der Heide

Last spring a twelve-year-old boy
named Dirk van der Heide was liv-
ing just outside Rotterdam with
his father and mother and little
sister. Ever since he was nine Dirk
kept dairy, and on May 9 he was
worrying about an essay on Eras-
mus that his school teacher had
asked him to write. But school
never met in Holland on May 10
and Dirk never handed in the
essay. Instead he lived through
five days of blitzkrieg and escap-
ed with his sitter to England and
finally to America. In this book
Dirk tells his own story of these
days.
1t is in the constant contrast
between the interests of a normal
boy and the horror of modern war
that this book achieves it's power.
Thousands of people have lived
through such an experience, and
hundreds have written about it.
It has remained for a boy of twelve
to make Of it the most moving
document that has come out of the
war. Only the mind of a boy could
record events in the purity of their
immediate impact. And only a
boy who has seen destruction come
to the quiet families of an ordinary

SEVENTY-FOUR YEARS OLD

With this weeks issue the Sauk Centre
Herald has reached its seventy-fourth birth
day anniversary, and preparations are now
being made for the diamond jubilee which
will take place a year from now. Present
owners look forward to that event, which
will be appropriately observed through a
special edition, in which all major events and
growth of the community will be reviewed
from its inception.
Seventy-four years in the life of a news
paper does not denote dotage, but rather pro-
gress Survival of Sauk Centres first news
paper was not miracle, but rather due to
the foresight and community spirit of its
founders and those who followed to carry
on where each left off. In most cases the
Herald took it's stand without fear or favor
and in practically all cases that stand was
right, as future happenings proved.
Thus, can it be said, that the Herald
through it's owners, followed a course with
the cooperation of loyal citizens, destined to
build fine and beautiful city. 1t shall con-
tinue that course regardless of ownership
it's efforts shall be to build Sauk Centre and
community. There can be no recession in
such effort, and continued plans for improve
ment are ever in the minds of it's owners.
Seventy-four years as a service unit in
Sauk Centre denotes that the work of the
Herald through those years has been we'll
and faithfully carried out, and that progress
has followed it's efforts. This is not written
in braggadocian vein, but rather in an at
tempt to assure the people of this commun-
ity that the Herald plans for improvement
and that it will keep faith with the commun-
ity in it's efforts for honest, worthwhile and
needed improvements

WHO WALK ALONE
By Perry Burgess

The story which this book con-
tains is one that has never been
told before in such a fashion. 1t is
the story of Ned Langford. an or
dinary young man in a midwest
ern town who learned that some
thing had happened to him, so
terrible, so unmentionable, that it
sent him into a lifelong exile on a
distant tropical island. And yet,
it proves to be a narrative which
is infinitely more moving and
dramatic than horrible. Indeed,
Stephen Vincent Benet, who read
the manuscript. says of it: ut
sticks in my memory not because of
its horror but because of its human
ity".
We cannot assure you that you
are going to like it. What we can
tell you is that in the week after
the manuscript first came into our
office we all read it, one after the
other, and to each of us In turn 1t
appeared inconceivable not to
publish this book. Ned Langford's
story is triumphant-heroic would
be the better word, but he would
have resented that-and 1t Is some
thing that will not fade from your
memory, neither next week nor

next year. Here is the life Of q
man who faced one Of ultimate
human disasters and yet managed
to wiring from 1t q ricn, useful, un-
daunted life.
The thing began, probabaly, In
the years when young Ned served
as soldier in the Philippines, but
he did not find out what had
happened until years later. BY
that time he was launched in q
happy, successful life-engaged to
be married, and with a real stand
ing in his community. How he
found out the meaning of the
places on his arm where there was
no feeling, how he destroyed his
own identity and went to the leper
colony of Culion, how he came to
terms with himself and built a new
life, makes tremendous, dramatic
reading which Is doubly effective
because Mr.. Burgess has let Ned
tell It in his own words.
Perry Burgess has been a nat
ional director Of the Leonard Wood
Foundation, for fifteen years, and
the president and executive officer
of that foundation for the last de-
cade. His work has taken him to
leprosaria all over the world. He
presents the factual background Of
the disease in an authoritative
appendix to this volume, a supple
ment that removes the misconcept-
ions about leprosy which exeist in
the minds Of many people. This
Is his first book.

Breaks Arm For
The Fourth Time
Williams When Rosemary
Church, of Williams, fell on a Gem
ent sidewalk recently and broke the
bones between elbow and wrist in
her left arm, it marked the fourth
time in little over a year that she
has been laid up with broken bones
either in arm or hand. A little
more than a year ago she broke
her right arm and shortly after
fractured the bones in her left
hand. Last January she broke her
left arm while playing on the
school grounds.
AZ Days Old;
Weighs 8 Pounds
Alexandria-Sti in the bantam
class is Tom Pasch, incubator baby
son of Mr.. and Mrs. Lewis Pasch,
of Osakis, who was born prema-
turely April 8 and weighed only
2 pounds and 9 ounces. Although
healthy, and good looking little
fellow, he didn't gain an ounce the
first 21 days of his life, but since
that time has gained ounces,
bringing his weight to 2 pounds, Is

Seven Stitches Taken

holm, of Parkers Prairie, will look
carefully and use caution when
slapping annoying mosquitoes. Last
week, feeling the jab of one of the
little animals, he slapped the back
side of his lap with a resulting
wound in his hand that took a doc
tor seven stitches to close. He had
forgotten that he had a skinning
knife in his back pocket.
Sow, Minus Legs, Ears,
Tail, Has Seven Pigs
Detroit Lakes-A sow on the
John H. Vogel farm, near Gala
way, is almost completely healed
today following her ordeal of CIV
ing birth to litter of seven pigs
few days after she was severely
frozen in the March Is blizzard.
During the blizzard the SOW suf-
fered such severely frozen legs, tail
and ears that all had to be am
putated later. It was not expected
that the SOW would survive the
ordeal, but she escaped infection
and is now apparently sound of
health, if not of limb.

stroyed and chickens roosting in
