Frank Miner, Frank
Vandelli Are Killed
Yesterday Morning:

Two Kerrick men were killed early
yesterday morning when their car
left the road about a mile south of
Duquette on highway %. They are
Frank Miner, 81, who had been max
ing his home with his daughter, Mrs.
Milton Beckstrom, and Frank Van
deli, 40, employed as cheesemaker
at Kerrick by Di Santo & Company.
Bodies Found Near Car.
The men were on their way home
from the Twin Ports in Vandelli's
car when the accident occurred. 1t
is thought that it happened shortly
after two o'clock as watches on the
men had stopped at that time. How
ever, it was not until nearly eight
o'clock in the morning before the
wreckage was found by a passing
motorist. The body of Vandelli was
lying on the ground near the car
while that of Miner was several yards
beyond. Both men had suffered skull
fractures and other injuries. It is
thought that Vandelli may have been
killed instantly and that the other
succumbed shortly afterwards from
injuries and the severe cold.
Tracks across the road led to the
belief that the driver swung for the
ditch to avoid hitting deer. The
car, striking the edge of the embank-
ment, rolled over three or four times,
coming to stop about 100 feet away.
Both men were thrown clear.
Frank Gottry of Pine City, county
coroner, was summoned and the
bodies were taken to the Hamlin
Mortuary in Moose Lake.
Frank Miner.
Frank Miner was born on Sep
TENDER 10, 1884, at Perham, this

Raids Sunday.
BY GEORG STRANDvOLD

Events move with incredible swift
ness these days: Contrary to all ex-
pectations as well as, incidentally, to
international law, Japan last Sum-
day attacked by air Honolulu, Pearl
Harbor, Guam, Wake and Midway
Askov American. [volume] (Askov, Pine County, Minn.) 1914-current, 1941-12-11

Islands, without declaration of wal
and at time when her two am
bassadors in Washington were as
surfing the United States govern
ment that Japan wanted peace, in
sisted on peace, just simply loved
peace.
A large number of persons were
killed in Hawaii, and many, an
parently, with two or three
American vessels being sent to
the bottom Of the Pacific.
The reaction was terrific, for up
rose in wrath the whole American
people. Here was a matter of an
actual attack on American territory
not merely the fear of one. The
thing had really happened.
And on Monday-when Great
Britain, Australia, Canada, Costa
Rica, Nicaragua and the Dutch
East Indies had declared war on
Japan. President Roosevelt ap-
peared before joint session of
the Congress and asked for a
resolution amounting to a dec
laration of war. 1t was voted at
once and unanimously i'm the
Senate, few minutes later in
the House, 388 votes to 1.
And so, the United States is once
more at WARRIOR the first time in it's
history with Japan. In view of the
rascality of the Nipponese attack, all
dissension, all discord has vanished
in the United States, for this coun-
try has had imposed on it the duty of
defending itself
Litvinov in u. S.
Whatever transpires in regard to
the relations between the United
States and Japan is bound to affect
the relations between those two
countries and Soviet Russia, and the
recognition of this fact may have
determined the selection of former
Foreign Minister Maxim Litvinov as
Soviet ambassador to the United
States. He arrived in Washington last
Sunday after an arduous airplane
trip along devious routes from Ku-
byishev, Russia's temporary capital.
In connection with Russia, there is
much to talk about. There is, for
instance, the fact that Finland, still
fighting as an ally of Germany, now
officially has become an enemy of
Great Britain. Finland, hoping to
recover the territory lost to Russia
as a result of the war in 1939-4O,
has refused to stop fighting, so the
British government declared war. At
this moment it does not mean so very
much. It may mean lots to the Firms
when the peace conference sits down
somewhere and some time A fair
ly general feeling is that British
prestige has not gained anything by
this war declaration against a help
less country whose quitting now
would mean instant German attack
and occupation.
Slow, Slow, Slow.
And still the German war against |
Russia dominates the news, chiefly
Tor the reason that it again has upset
those famously careful German cal
culations.
The nazi advance on Moscow
is proceeding at very slow pace;
as a matter of fact, the Germans
are no closer to the Russian capt.
tai than they were two or three
weeks ago. But that isn't the
worst Of tho, far worse is the
situation on the south Russian
