Theatre Offers
Techni-
color Picture
"Dive Bomber" With
Outstanding Stars-A
Splendid Entertainment

Manager Parsons Of the Main
Street Theatre will present a tech
nicolor picture, olive Bomber" as
IA special attraction on Sunday,
Monday and Tuesday. Timely as
tomorrow, is this picture, which
stars Fred MacMurray and Enrol
Flynn.
This picture tells the story of
the Navy's unsung heroes who fly
more for science than for glory,
and who have made possible the
development of dive bombing.
Pioneering a brand new story
field to the movies, this picture
sets a precedent in many ways.
Fred MacMurray, borrowed from
Paramount, is co-starred with War,
ner's own Errol Flynn, and billing
is an even-Stephen matter.
MacMurray is the one who does
the flying, dies the hero's death.
Flynn is a medico, working with
"Dr." Ralph Bellamy to solve the
mysteries Of what happens to mer
in the stratosphere; black out, high
altitude sickness, aeroembolism
night blindness, etc, etc. He plays
the role straight, on the serious
side.
One of the biggest scenes in the
picture goes to Louis Jean Heydt
an able actor, well established, but
stranger to most audiences unit
they see him and then say, "Of
yes, I remember that fellow in ;
MacMurray, killed off late in the
story, naturally doesn't get the girl
played by exotic-looking newcom
er, Alexis Smith. ...
Neither does Flynn. In fact sht
doesn't "get" anybody in the pic
ture. She's a divorcee, out for 6
good time with almost any mar
in a navy uniform. And In the
picture all the men are too busy
with naval aviation matters to give
her more than a quick kiss. ant
a pleasant brush off.
olive Bomber" has another def
mite bid as the picture unique
Being filmed, as 1t was with com
plete navy cooperation and under
strictest navy scrutiny to make
certain that every single thing was
right, it has had six high-rankine
technical directors, three Of them
commanders, one captain (Cap
tain George d. Murray of the air
craft carrier Enterprise), and two
flight lieutenants.
Because the navy gave full CO
operation, millions upon millions Of
public dollars worth of planes
ground equipment, building facil
tiles and landing fields, not to men
ton the U.S.S. Enterprise itself
were turned over to director Mich
ael Curtiz, "shot" by the color cam
eras for the action-packed film.

Lew W. Garfield Died of Injuries Saturday
Body Crushed When
Tractor Pinned Him
To Work Bench
81 YEARS OLD
Funeral Services
Largely Attended
Tuesday Afternoon

One of the saddest accidents
that ever happened in this city oc-
Cured Friday afternoon, when L.
w. Garfield was fatally injured
while employed in his welding and
machine shop, near his home in the
north part Of the city. Mr.. Can
field passed away Saturday morn
ing at st. Cloud hospital, at 11:30
o'clock. His age at death was 81
years, seven months and seven
days.
A tractor, under repair and in
high gear, in some manner started
in motion and crushed him between
1t and the work bench. The lower
part of his body was crushed, and
in critical condition he was taken
to the st. Cloud hospital Were an
operation was performed. The OPP
Grafton was completed at 6:15 p. m.
Friday, and as stated before he

Mrs. Garfield, the bereft wife,
was with him at the hospital and
remained at the bedside until
death came.
Mr.. Garfield had been in business
in this city for eleven years and
through faithful and honest dealing
and fine workmanship had built
an excellent trade.
Llewellyn William Garfield was
born June II. 1874, in a log house
on the Richards homestead, east
Of Sank Centre. He was the only
son Of Mr.. and Mrs. J. H. Can
field, and the eldest of three chill
dren, one of whom, a sister, passed
away in childhood in 1893.
The greater part of his early
youth and manhood was spent in
and around Sauk Centre, and he
resided in North Dakota eight
years before his MARRIAGE. He at
tended school in Sauk Centre, and
was we'll known to a wide circle
of friends in this community.
! On October 25. 1898, be was unit
ed in marriage to Margaret White,
and five children were born to
them. Mrs. Garfield passed away,
leaving the five children who now
survive. On December %, 1928, Mr..
Garfield was married to Alice Mag
nuson, who raised the family Of
five children as her own.
In 1905. Mr.. Garfield and wife
and family moved to Minneapolis,
where they resided until 1880. For
the past eleven years they have
made their home in Sauk Centre.
Surviving relatives are Mrs. Cam
field and the five children as fol-
lows: Lowell. Of st. Louis Park;
Mrs. Beatrice Fritz, Norwood Can
field, Mrs. Marjorie Rosenberg. Mrs.
Annabel Rataczak, all Of Mime

Four Ne1v Homes Started I'm
Country Club addition.
Work Commenced
Last Week When .Foun-
dations Were Laid
PLATED IN 1921
First of A Number
Of Houses Planned For
The New Addition

A building program of consid-
cradle Importance to Sauk Centre
was commenced last week when
foundations for four new homes in
the Country Club addition were
laid. One of these homes will face
Main Street, short distance north
of North Street. The other three
will be located just west Of the
Main Street home, on North Oak
Street.
All Of these homes will be of
the present popular small bungalow
type, with two bedrooms, a bath,
living room, dinette and kitchen.
There will also be a garage at
tached. Entirely insulated, with
furnace, they will be modern in
every respect. Being Of an econom-
ical design, the cost will be at a
minimum. Completion of these
four homes has been set for jan
iuary.
Country Club addition, lying be-
tween Main Street and Sauk Lake,
and bordering the golf course on
the south, was plated in 1921, at
the time the golf club was organ
lied. Most Of the lots were sold
at that time, but further develop
ment was not forthcoming, be-
cause Of the lack Of need for new
homes, and the presence Of good
building sites in the other parts
Of the city. This program fits in
well with the development of Ash
Street, where several new homes
have been erected during recent
years.
At the present time. although
there are some good homesites left
in the older part of the city, these
are scarce. Since the Country Club
addition offers so many advantages
such as proximity to the lake and
golf course, only six blocks from
the business center, the present
builders believe the construction of
these new homes may be the first
step to many more new ones in
that district.
Many people, in the past, have
thought seriously of building in the
new addition, except for the fact
that no one else had built there.
Harry Dickinson put up the first
home three years ago, a modern
bungalow, but has been waiting for
street improvements before COM
pleting the same.
This addition, plated into 1923
lots, is now mostly locally owned
by the parties who are building
the homes, namely, v. T. Conklin,
G. D. Shively and Jerry Daniel.
Sank Centre Nash will have its
own building at the corner Of High
way 81 east city limits. where they
have laid the foundation for a
modern garage and sales room.
The building will not be completed
until next year, when the firm
plans to occupy the new home. The
property adjoins the Great North
ern tracks and consists Of approx.
imately five acres.

try in the Pacific rather than two countries in both the Pacific and the Atlantic simultaneously.
 So plan was devised to starve out the Japanese military machine by cutting off cotton.e copper, scrap iron and especially oil, simultane- ously mobihzing the peace machin- cry of the Nine Power Pact and the League of Nations.
 All-important factor in this plan was stationing the British fleet in Singapore and the U. s. fleet along the California coast to shut off im- ports-it being clear that the Jap anese fleet, because of tremendous distances, could not cross the Pa cific either to. Singapore or Califor- mia without being short of fuel oil and at serious disadvantage.
 President Roosevelt even sent Ambassador Norman Davis to Brus- sels Conference to whip up this plan, and told him to go the limit. But the State Department rewrote his speeches and sabotaged every move he made. Roosevelt was off the Mexican coast fishing. The strategy was a complete bust.

JUST ABOUT RIGHT

little more than one-twentieth of the popu- ation of the United States lives in small cities of Juneaus class. The 1940 census turned up the fact that places in the 5,000-to-10O00 classification are the fastest growing of all sizes of cities and towns in America Only 48 percent of the nations popu- ation lived in communities of this size in 1930 while the 194O percentage is 51. By comparison 2500-to- 5000 cities did not gain at all, while those in the 10000 to- 25 900 bracket gained only 9 percent
 The census showed 965 places in the United States in the 50OO-to-1O,O00 classification, com pared with only 851 in that group in 1880. Total population in such cities in 1940 was 6681 894 One of the IA cities which grew into this bracket be- tween 193O and 194O is Juneau
 Both the large cities and rural territory lost population during the decade to small cities. No wonder. Life is nowhere more enjoyable than in a little city We have the conveniences of restaur- ants theatres, daily newspapers and community spirit without the unfriendiness and lack of social contacts of the large cities.

OIL FOR JAPAN's NAVY

One year later, 1888, the Navy wanted to revive the plan when Jap an purposely sank the U. s. gunboat Panay in the Yangtze River. But cautious Cordeu Hull nd career boys said no.
 Two years later, the Knox-Stim- son-Morgenthau-Ickes factions in- side the Cabinet persuaded Roose- welt to O. K. two executive orders embargoing all oil and all scrap iron to Japan. But when the State De- pertinent heard about it, Hull and the career boys threw up their hands in horror, persuaded Roosevelt tc change his order, bar only No. l scrap and high-test gasoline.
 After weeks of haggling Roosevelt finally extended the order to all grades of scrap, but fuel oil for the Japanese navy. plus ordinary gaso- line, plus a lot of smuggled high test gasoline for Japanese bombers still leaves for Japan--largely with State Department blessing.
 So, taking it's lesson from France the United States waited. sefo1

NORWAY'S SHIPS

To those who have thought that Norways ef- fectiveness as defender of democracy was pretty well destroyed by the Nazi invasion year ago, it comes as pleasant shock to learn that Norway's merchant marine now in the service of Britain, is larger than that of Germany and s in fact, second only to the merchant fleet of Britain herself.
 News from Norway" the mimeographed infor- nation sheet distributed by the Royal Norwegian governments press representative in Washington, lists gross registered tonnage before the start of the war at 4834 902 as compared with 4,493000 tons of German shipping No figures are available for the losses suffered by the German merchant marine since the war began but they are certainly large.

tetaline 562524- tons f interesting to note that Norway's losses of ships and men were larger be- tween September 1889 and April 1940, while Norway was neutral, than they have been since
 Leaving the matter of size aside, the Norwegian merchant fleet is the most modern and efficient afloat Two-t thirds of the vessels driven by diesel engines and are capable of speeds from 12 to 16 knots under full load compared with aver age speed for steam vessels of 10 knots. Average age of Norwegian vessels is lower than that of any other merchant fleet in the world Norwegian cargo vessels have annual carrying capacity 40 to 60 percent in excess of the 10-knot steamer.
 In tankers, Norway has 100000 tons of which 1,750000 modern motor vessels with speeds of 12 knots more. Britain by comparison has 3000,- 900 tons of which one-thrd slower steamers.
 When Germany invaded Norway April g, 1940, every single ship the high seas in harbors not controlled by the Axis Powers obeyed the wireless instructions issued by the Norwegian Government. Many, too of those in Axis harbors managed to slip out and join the free merchant fleet To control this fleet of nearly 100000 tons (roughly 1000 ships) the Norwegian Government established "NOTRA- SHIP" (the Norwegian Shipping and Trade Mission). which is the largest shipping concern in the world.
 Norways contribution to the Allied Merchant Fleet is of decisive importance considered either in terms of ships or of the men who man them. The enemy is doing his utmost to destroy. Allied sea- lines The men who man the ships stand in the front line of battle From the seamen, who have the hardest duties of all there has been shown the most unconditional loyalty to the legal Norwegian authorities. .4
 It is probably understatement to say that at the present time the Norwegian merchant fleet is worth more to the democracies than a million soldiers.

Keep Them Separate
Cleveland Plain Dealer)

Cleveland Plain Dealer)
 Almost unnoticed outside of Washington, the House of Representatives has passed bill providing that the Speaker of the House should fill the office of President temporarily if contingency ever arose when the President-eect Vice President-elect should not qualify and neither the Electoral College nor the House was able to agree selection for the office.
 The Twentieth Amendment to the Constitution adopted in 1885, made it the responsibility of Con- gress to provide for the succession to an outgoing President in such contingency. Students of the Constitution pointed out during the heat of the 194O election that it dangerous for. Congress not to fulfill this responsibility since there have been times in our history when confusion over the succession might have led to disturbances if not civil war.
 It is we'll therefore, that Congress finally is getting around to this important matter but it is a serious question whether the House has acted wisely in making it possible for one of its own members to serve even temporarily as theS chief executive This is seems to us, violates the principle of the separation of the executive and legislative in our form of government ssise %N t& E We hope therefore, that the Senate will revise this bill. A better plan might be to allow the Sec retary of State in, the outgoing administration to hold over as acting President until "a regular Pres- dent had been selected Ys
