ing threatened attack against the
United States. In fact, Indo-China
is twice as far away from us as
Germany. But the fear is now ex-
pressed that if the Japs move south
and conquer the East Indies, they
will shut us off from our much
needed supplies of rubber and tin.
There is definite assurance that this
would be true.
One may well wonder what the
Japs would do with any rubber or
tin they may acquire in the East
Indies if they do not sell it to us.
They cannot use it themselves in any
great quantities. They cannot ship it
to Germany, and Great Britain can
only use fractional part. We are
the biggest rubber and tin consum-
ers in the world, just as we are the
biggest silk consumers. Thus, it is
a question as to how real is the
claimed crisis.

THE MIRROR
Askov Public Schools
BY Esther MikkelSen

The school year 1941-42 is now
well under way. The pupils are
rapidly becoming acquainted with the
many new faculty members and vice
versa.
The enrolment shows no marked
difference from last year, although
a slight drop is probable for the year
The first grade, however, has made
an excellent showing with no less
than 20 beginners enrolled.
Outdoor activities during the first
two weeks of school were seriously
curtailed by rainy weather, but it
is hoped that the downpour has
ceased and that kittenball and other
outdoor play can now get into full
swing.
A long-overdue job is being done
on the school building during these
days. All outside windows and doors
are being caulked. This, together
with the Misunderstanding and in
sulating that has already been done,
should make an appreciable differ
ence in the ability of the building to
withstand the blasts of winter pres
emily due.
The first social activity of the year
will be the annual junior high school
party to be held Friday evening, Sep
TENDER 26. Plans for the event are
progressing nicely under the direc-
ton of Miss Ogle and Miss loft.

clude the entire western hemisphere,
and stretched the eastern frontier to
embrace Iceland and Dakar. On that
vast body of water the American
fleet is free to shoot at sight when
ever they see the German or Italian
flag. All that remains to make the
war formal is the consent of Con-
gress but Mr.. Roosevelt will prob
ably ignore that constitutional re-
quirement as he is pretty much a
law unto himself and Congress is too
cowardly to stand up for its pre-
negatives.
Tax Bill Out of Way.
When this letter appears in print,
Congress will have taken final &C
ton on the new tax bill by approx
ing the report of the conferees who
were named to iron out the differ
ences between the two houses of
Congress. The income tax base has
been widened by reducing the exemp-
tons for married people to $500,
with $500 for each dependent, and

The Askov All Club had its an

Meetings are to be held the first

be many new members and that all

$3.50 for single persons without de-
pendents. This widening will result
in about 5 million new returns be-
ing filed, of which number 2A mil
lion will pay an income tax. It is
estimated that the widening of the
base will bring in 1903, zoe, 900 in adj
ditional revenue, of which 47,O00,-
600 net will come from the new tax
payers and the balance from those
already paying income taxes.
1t was necessary to widen the base
in order to make up the 800 million
that was lost when Congress, at the
request of the President, took out
the provision in the bill which COM
PEELED mandatory joint returns for
husband and wife, which, incidental
ly, would have cost the President and
his wife $4,000 in additional taxes.
Freedom of Seas.
Roosevelt and Churchill have had
much to say about the freedom of
the seas but I am wondering just
how far shipload of food to the
starving people of Europe would get
past the British blockade. 1t is my
information that the people of Poland,
Norway, Denmark, Holland, Belgium
and France are actually starving.
Former President Hoover has offered
to get food to them and guarantees
that it will not fall into German
hands, but Churchill says mo-, so the
people of Europe will starve and die
just as they did back in 1912 when
Britain established blockade over
continental Europe that resulted in
the death of over 100000 in Norway
alone.
BOOtlegging Continues.
notwithstanding the fact that there
are 127 registered distilleries in the
country and that there are 485, 00O,-
600 gallons of spirits in warehouses,
bootlegging continues to thrive. In
the fiscal year 1910, the Treasury
department seized 1868 stills and
about 61s million gallons of mash.
1t is rather interesting to note that
about 81 per cent of all stills seized
came from IA southern states. The
new tax bill increases the tax on
spirits by 81 per gallon making the
total Federal tax 81 per gallon. It
is frankly expected that increased
taxes on spirits will stimulate boot
Logging and that additional enforce
ment personnel will be required to
meet this problem.
Another Crisis.
Life in the United States these
days seems to be one crisis after
another. Now brand new one has
arisen, and that is an alleged crisis
with respect to our supply of rub
Der and tin. This crisis arises over
the occupation of French bases in
1ndo-China by the japanese and the
possibility of moving further south
to the Dutch East Indies, the source
of our supply of these raw materials.
The occupation of French Indo-
China apparently with the consent of
the French government at Vichy, was
not in itself matter in which the
United States could say much. The
crisis, as far as the United States is
concerned, is not that Japan by oc-
cupying Indo-China will be direct

A large crowd was on hand Mon
day forenoon to see Peter McLaren,
worlds champion wood chopper, in
action and all are agreed that he can
really handle an AK. He cut through
a green Norway pine log in slightly
over so seconds; the main idea be-
ing to never hit in the same place
twice. Every stroke counted.
Jacob Jensen was persuaded to
compete against him but broke his
AK handle after several strokes and
was forced to quit. However, he
was given a brand new Plumb AK
by the sponsors of the exhibition to
make up for his loss.
Mr.. McLaren has chopped all over
the world, against all corners, offer
ing numerous handicaps. He has
never been defeated in an even

Beyond that, for about 100 feet, lay more jungle until at the far edge of the covered stage a painted background of a distant mountain arose. The mountain bore horizontal outcroppings ot rock. Close Co the hackdrop were three full . sized, live elephants, browsing among the small trees.
 On the screen, beyond the inc mediate foreground where the ifIl- portart action Is taking place, you'll
 see Q very different picture. The temple, It's base blending with the horizontal lines of rock, will seem to be far In the distance. The ele. phants, which actually are beyond the temple, will seem to be Q half mile or SO In front of it.
 without the elephants, the whole thing would have been simple - just Q painted backdrop. But Alex ander Korda wanted action in the background and was willing to pay for 1t. They couldn't put the ele- pharts In front of a miniature temple because the movement of the beasts would have revealed that they were practically scratching their sides on the canvas. So Broth CT Vincent Korda evolved this ex- ample of reverse perspective. I don't
