placed by Canada on luxuries i'm
ported from abroad, but not for long.
It's importation from countries out
side the British Commonwealth has
now been prohibited, except under
special permit. But no banana can
complain it was not banned with
dignity. The deed was done in the
following official language:

French ships to pass. Those ships
could then carry oil and fats, which
the Germans want, as well as food
for the French.
While the British are more than
willing to accept a plan whereby
unoccupied France could be fed,
they say they must have guarantees
that the food will actually reach
the French. But under no circum-
stances could they give blanket per-
mission for the French to go through
the blockade without examination to
see that the ships are actually car
rying food and not oil or metal al
loys, which Germany needs.
Whether a clash can be averted
probably depends on whether the
United States and the Vichy gov
ernment reach satisfactory agree
ment on the shipment of foods to
France before Admiral Darlan is
forced to make good his threat.

What is fire? We are all fam
iliar with fire and flames, but very
few Of us could give an intelligent
explanation as to what 1t really is,
so this week the consumers class
is studying all they can on ancient
and important uses Of fire.
In Senior English we have now
read and become acquainted with
some Of William Wordsworth and
Samuel T. Coleridge's poetry.
Some Of their famous poems are:
Intimate of Immortality" "Kubla
Khon," "She Was a Phantom of
Delight" and many more of great
Importance.

"Cinders," a story by Katharine
Gibson will appeal to any young
boy. It is a story about a horse
wise little man who has many ad-
ventures. He achieves fame thru
his skill with animals. In the royal
stables he cures Flash, the Kings
favorite, and rides him across the
country on a thrilling mission to
save the Prince.
The scenes in the stables, with
the Kings cook, the old Herb Wom-
an in the wood, the dangerous ride
with his message, the development
Of feeling between Cinders and
Flash, are all real and convincing
There is an endearing quality to
Cinders, and his background OF
Old England. The story will ap-
peal to the child who loves horses
as well as to the one who likes
fairy tales. There is a suspense, a
dash of pathos, courage, humor
and realness, warmth and
friendliness, about the characters
all told in a lovely style, simple
flowing, filled with beauty.

This N That About Senior High
Monday afternoon combined
groups from the Junior and Sen
Tor Highs presented a fine program
in the auditorium. There were
representatives from the operetta
who sang, Boy Scouts participated,
selections from the speech festival
were given by the contestants, 3rd
graders under the direction Of Miss
Dybdal gave readings; then the
part most appreciated, the present
alton Of the U. s. flag to the high
school by the Legion Auxiliary.
Thursday morning a movie was
presented by the Conservation De-
partment Of Minnesota on wild
life. It was all very interesting
because It showed the great care
given to wild life to prevent its
determination. There were four
reels, each as interesting as the
next.
There hasn't been much basket
ball practice all week because of
the many games; probably that's
the reason there are so many boys
running around loose.
Both Schoolmaster and Annual
Articles were due last Friday SO
1t kept all the writers pretty busy
getting new ideas and working over
the old.
SENIOR HIGH CLASSES
Sophomores
Did any Of you ever meet Mark
Twain? IF you haven't, join our
English classes. We have complet-
ed our study Of narrative poetry
and have now begun reading bio
graphies. This is quite different
from what we have been studying
and is very interesting. So far
we have read Mark Twain's "Boy-
hood on a Missouri Farm" and
How Found America" by Anzia
Yezierska. We have yet to read
"Edison's Personally" by Thomas
Alva Edison himself.
Latin I is progressing very rapid
ly and is now on their forty-eighth
lesson. They have begun something
newt is the third declension
This requires quite a great deal OF
memorizing, however, they seem
to be coming along all right. Late
ly they have read a short descrip-
ton Of ancient Rome, which was
Chariot Racing in the Circus Max
imus."
In biology we are studying about
forests and forestry now. We have
reviewed and discussed all the diff.
ferent uses of trees, and the rea-
sons for conserving forests. Our
next unit of study will be ferns and
all other plants that belong to that
group.

which has the honor Of being the
second of its kind to be staged by
this school. This great happening
is the operetta, "A Flower of Vene-
zia," put on by some sixty students
and fifteen faculty members. This
week all else was pushed into the
background so that everything
would be ready at the time of pre-
sentation.
I'm sure most of you have been
approached for ticket, but If you
are among the few that may have
been missed we will expect to see
you anyway.
CLUBS
Girl Scouts
The Senior Scouts had a very
successful trip to st. Paul to the
ice carnival. They left here Satur-
day morning and arrived in st.
Paul at noon. They went right
to the ice palace and started their
correspondence to friends at home
who were waiting for cards mailed
from the ice palace. They were
right in time for the speed ice skat-
ing races Como Park and from
there they went to the ski tourna-
ment. Saturday evening they were
all very much thrilled by the
Torch Light" parade and the light
ing of the Ice palace.
Sunday afternoon many went
roller skating at the Coliseum
while Sunday night thUy saw the
storming of the ice palace after
which they proceeded on home.
Boy Scouts
The Boy Scouts had a very sue
cessful Boy Scout Week. Boy
Scouting In America was brought
to the attention Of the public. Both
the boys and people Of the COM
munity received much value from
it.
February 18th the troupe con-
test, which has been going on for
the past three months, ended. Win
ners were announced at the Moth
er-Son Banquet. Richard Nelson
won first prize which was five dol
lars in cash with which to buy
scout equipment, Warren Jeffries
won second prize which was a Boy
Scout pocket watch and was dom
ated by Jackson's Jewelry store;
Dick Berggreen won third prize
which was a Boy Scout First Aid
Kit.
Last Sunday the Sea Scouts had
an outdoor meeting after which
they went skiing and tobaggoning
at Birch Lake. They also cooked
their dinner out-of-doors.
This N That About Junior High
Miss Swope's class has been
studying the Gettysburg address in
honor Of Lincoln's birthday. A pro-
gram was given in commemoration
of this event also, which included
some Of the numbers to be in the
,operetta.
The art classes have many bright
ly colored posters hung around the
Junior High which advertise the
operetta.

Clothes st Morning Wedding
Dear Mrs. Post: Please help
Us with our hats and the length
Of our dresses. The wedding is at
home. at eleven in the morning.
and the bride Is wearing white and
veil. The mothers would like
to know whether they should wear
street length dresses or long ones.
and are they supposed TO wear
hats. They feel that the hats AZ
house wedding may look unneces-
sary stiff for the simplicity of this
town.
Answer: The mothers should
wear hats. because the marriage
services is religious ceremony and
also because hats belong with day
dresses. In a medium-sized and
probably crowded house. IL would
be very unimportsnt whether their
dresses were long on short or
even Of the same length since few
couple could see the length Of
their skirts. But IL they are TO
stand together in a room that is
very large so that their skirts are
plainly seen. then I think the long
er skirts are more graceful, and
the length Of their dresses should
be the same.
