Will Draft Men
With Dependents

Latest information relative to the
draft, according to Selective Service
Director Hershey, is that local draft
boards will begin calling men with
dependents before Christmas.
He stated that single men with "sec-
ondary" dependents, such as aged or
crippled relatives, will be called first,
married men whose wives work,
next; then men with dependent
wives; and finally men who have
wives and children. The reservoir
of la men throughout the country
is practically exhausted" he added.
Selective service headquarters said
Class lib (men fit for limited service
only) will be eliminated, and begin
ming September l, all registrants who
are not totally disqualified will be
reclassified in la, while those not
suited for any military service will
be placed in At. In the case of
men reclassified in la, the army
will determine after induction wheth-
er they will be assigned to full or
limited service.

North Pine Couple
Married In Chicago

A pretty and impressive military
and colonial wedding took place
August l at the Emmanuel English
Lutheran church in Chicago, ILL.,,
when Miss Mildred Macdonald,
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. S. E. Mac
Donald of Duquette, became the
bride of Seaman Clifford Slower, son
of Mr.. and Mrs. j. D. Slower of
Nickerson. The vows were spoken
at candlelight service at 8 o'clock
in the evening. Twelve sailors in
their blue uniforms stood at atten-
ton during the service.
The brides mother and the groom s
mother were escorted into the church
on the arm of a sailor in blue uni
form.
A reception followed the ceremony
at an American Legion hall nearby,
which was decorated with red, white
and blue. About 200 persons at
tended and the newlyweds received
many gifts, but as the groom will be
in school until October at the navy
pier in Chicago, they can establish
no home, so most of the gifts were
in the form of money.
Out-of-town guests attending the
wedding were Mrs. S. E. Macdonald
of Duquette; Mr.. and Mrs. j. D.
Slower, Mildred and Kenneth, of
Nickerson; Mr.. and Mrs. A. J. Van
DENVER and Betty, Mrs. VIM. Kruger
and Mr.. and Mrs. H. E. Anderson,
all of Minneapolis; Mrs. Lester Mel
son, Munger; James Nelson, Cleve-
land, Ohio; and Private Walter
Slower, who is stationed in Aber-
deem, Md.
Friends here extend best wishes
to the happy couple.

BY GEORG STRANDVOLD

It had been expected for some
time, so it didn't come exactly like
lightning from the blue sky that the
United States of Brazil had decided
to 60 to war against Germany and
Italy. For weeks the relations be-
tween Brazil and those two axis
powers had been very strained as the
result of series of torpedoings of
Brazilian ships, and finally patience
at Rio de Janeiro could endure no
more, so it exploded in declaration
of war addressed to Berlin and Rome
since it was very clear that the
crimes against Brazilian shipping had
been committed by Germany and
Italy and not by Japan.
The war d declaration was
greeted with jubilatiOn by the
BraZilianS, and the President of
the United States of America
sent his cabled congratulations.
1t is not likely that Brazilian
participation in the general war will
be very conspicuous, at least for some
time to come, and even at Rio de
Janeiro itself it was made quite plain
that the purpose of taking the i'm
portant step is, first of all, the pro-
lection of the country itself. To il
lumine the reasons back of this
measure, one should realize that
Brazil as a neutral nation has suf-
fered the loss of nineteen vessels and
about seven hundred lives.
Southwest Pacific.
American fighting now comprises
not only the northern continent but
part of the southern and as far as the
northern partner is concerned, he
keeps on covering himself with ex-
pected glory. There has, at this
writing, been no official word from
Washington to the effect that the
American forces have won a definite
victory over the japanese on the
Solomon Islands.
But all unofficial accounts
agree that while there are still

New State Areas
Opened ForDeer
Hunting In Fall
November Is to Is Dates
Set; 23-Day Pheasant
Season Announced.

There will be plenty of shooting
for Minnesota hunters this fall with
a 23-day statewide pheasant season
from October II to November 8, in
elusive, and an 11-day deer season,
opening November Is. The dates
were announced recently by Verne
Joslin, acting director of the Divis-
ion of Game and Fish. New areas
will be opened to deer hunters.
Department of Conservation bio
legists indicate that the pheasant
population is equal to or better than
the 1910 population, which was the
highest in history. The 23-day sea-
son is the maximum allowed by state
law.
Staggered Season.
The upland game regulations pro-
vide for 23-day staggered season
on ruffed grouse or partridge. Sur
veys reveal that ruffed grouse are
due to reach the peak of their pop
ulation cycle next year, hence De-
partment biologists explain that the
season has been staggered so as to
allow as large harvest as possible.
Sharp-tailed grouse are reported
more numerous than last year. The
pinnated grouse has not done so well,
however, and a considerable portion
of its major range will be closed to
hunting. Hungarian partridge are
slightly more abundant than last
year. The quail population shows
little indication of an increase.
New Areas Opened.
A considerable new area has been
opened to deer hunting this year,
department officials stating that the
intention is to reduce the deer pop
ulation in areas in which deer are
said to have become a nuisance to
agriculture. Hunting in these more
populated regions is restricted to a
shotgun with single slug or bow
and arrow.
No deer shall be taken in any
game refuge within the area per-
mitted to be and remain open, ex-
cept insofar as such refugees or por-
tons thereof may be declared open
to the taking of deer by order of the
director of the Division of Game and
Fish.

international News Review

enemy forces on some of these
islands, the Americans have
established themselves firmly,
and also have either destroyed
or chased away Japanese ships
so that the garrisons left have
no way of escape. To that ex-
tent, a distinct American victory
has been registered.
A similar thing happened on the
Gilbert Islands, hundreds of miles
northeast of the Solomons. Here the
Americans simply walked in on the
isle of Maxim and, in short order,
disposed of the enemy, destroying,
incidentally, his airport, his radio
finder station, few airplanes and
a couple of ships. It would seem
that, with the Coral Sea defeat in
mind, the Japanese now after the
disappointments at the Solomons and
the Gilberts will abandon any plan
they may have concocted for an at
tack on Australia or for the cutting
of the supply lines between the
United States and the Australian
mainland.
Dieppe.
Not so many days ago great deal
of excitement was created by the fact
that British, American and Canadian
forces had attacked the city of Dieppe
in northern France, now in German
possession.
During the first few moments
of this nine-hour commando raid
it was thought that it might be
the beginning of that long
awaited general offensive of the
United Nations, but the British
authorities soon made it clear
that it was merely a t-and-run
affair, designed to test the Ger
man defenses, and to get infor-
nation.
Both of these goals were reached,
even though the effort was costly
one, and useful lessons were learned.
They, of course, will serve well when

propriate song, the words of which
were written by Mrs. Chas. Krantz
of Askov, was sung by the audience.
Miss Hecker was too completely sur
prised and had too big a lump in her
throat to say anything more than
very heartfelt "thank you" and to
extend an invitation to all the All

with her some time.
