Rutabaga Festival
For 1912 Cancelled

In compliance with requests of gov
eminent officials asking economy and
conservation because of war condi-
tons, it has been decided to call off
the Askov Rutabaga Festival for this
year at least. The action was taken
at meeting of the fair board Mon
day evening at the Hans Abraham
sen home
While no definite action has been
taken regarding the Minnesota state
fair it is believed that cancellation
of auto races there this fall may
lead to closing that annual event.
A meeting will be held soon to make
final decision on this.
Many county and local fairs, both
in Minnesota and other states, will
not be held. The Pine county fair
board met Tuesday evening and after
short discussion period decided to
close for this year. Jas. H. Hogan
of Kerrick, announces that in all
probability their 'big little fair
would also be cancelled.

Delay In July
Pension Funds

The welfare division of Pine county
advises that July checks for old age
assistance and aid to dependent chill
dren are being held up a short time
as the Federal share of these aids
has not as yet been made available.
Beginning new fiscal year an act
of Congress is necessary before funds
for this purpose can be released but
it is expected that the money will
be available about July is. The
checks have been made out and will
be mailed as soon as the above mat
ter has been cleared.
The state attorney generals office
has ruled that state funds can not
be advanced to cover the Federal
share, so recipients will have to wait
a few days longer until the latter
funds are forthcoming.

New Scrap Plans
Made AS Rubber
Drive Nears End
Intensified Campaign for
All Vital Materials Being
Launched July Is.

A working salvage committee in
every community in the nation is the
goal set by the Bureau of Industrial
Conservation, War Production Board
in connection with new and greatly
intensified campaign to salvage vital
scrap material to be formally opened
July Is.
House-to-house canvasses, salvage
depots, salvage quotas, credential
cards, pledge cards, national adver-
Using and special salvage projects
are but a few of the many details
being worked out to collect scrap
material needed for the huge war
production program.
Short of Goal.
The rubber scrap salvage cam
paign will close at midnight Friday
July 10, with the original goal not
yet reached. According to an an
nouncement by the War department
the army faces 250,0O0-ton rubber
shortage by the end of 1943, bu,
present plans do not include military
requisitioning of 'civilian tires. The
latter possibility is being considered
and may be done if war needs in
crease.

International News Review

President Roosevelt last month had
filled him with definite hopes of
ultimate success. He didn't believe,
however, that the war would be
ended this year; though, rather, that
it would still be what he called ga
long war;"
You cannot down Churchill; Com
mons didn't, in spite of the terrific
criticism that had been formulated
against him; the house gave him a
laundering vote of confidence by
ATS votes to Is votes, so he keeps on,
as doggedly as ever, as blunderingly
as ever, as sure of ultimate victory
as ever.
African Picture.
At the moment Churchill spoke,
the situation in Egypt looked par
ticularly black; the British, having
surrendered Tobruk in Libya some
time ago, had retreated across the
Libyan-Egyptian border, had given
up their supposedly strong positions
at Matruh, and had withdrawn to
Ell Alamein, about sixty miles west
of Alexandria. Here they entrenched
themselves, and here the Nazi Cen
eral Field Marshal Rommel tried to
encircle them.
Then, all of sudden, one of
those miracles familiar to stu
dents of war history, happened,
for by surprise movement the
British did the encircling, and
even forced Rommel to retreat
from some of his positions.
It is clear by this time that the
Nazis are headed for Alexandria,
Cairo, and the Suez canal, and it is,
also, clear that they will upset Brit
ish plans for defense very seriously
should they succeed in attaining
these detectives.
For that reason it is of the ut
most importance that the defense not
only is sustained, but reinforced all
the time, and there are reports to

At the time of the terrific British
bombardment of Cologne few weeks
ago it was said that American filters
took part; that was never denied
nor, for that matter, was it ever con-
firmed, and it may not have beer
the case, for early this week it was
announced officially that "for the first
time" Americans took part in q
Royal Air Force bombing expedition
to the European continent.
American participation in any
action in that part of the world
may be an indication that the
widely discussed Second Front is
about to open.
There have been such rumors be.
fore, but, naturally, the day of the
United Nations general offensive
against Hitler is drawing closer al

to be any doubt that it will be begun

Churchill Speech.
There was no direct reference t.
Second Front in the speech which
British Prime Minister Winston
Churchill delivered in Commons Z
few days ago in defense of his con-
duct of the war; he was ION the

feats the British had suffered ir

they were pretty bad, but, at the
