Hello, Folks:

Hello, folks:
Well, this week, members of the
younger set have conferred their
attention, not only upon the Snow
ball Party given by the Jr. Sterling
Clubbers, this Friday eve, but on
roller skating parties, too. A roll
Ter get-together was given at the
Oxford Rink a few days ago. 1t
drew the youngsters out like bees
are drawn to honey. Some of
the members of the younger set
seen dashing around were: MARY
ANN TERRY, JANE MOSS and
PEGGY RHODES. One Min
neapolis lassie is telling this tale:
She says that when the Moonlight
Waltz was played CHATS when the
boys are supposed to skate with
the one they like best) and the
lights were turned very low, some
young gentleman came up and
asked her to skate with him. Bein'
it was so dark, she couldn't quite
detect who he was but she liked
his voice so she consented to skate
with him. After our little couple
had skated half way round and
were about to make very difficult
turn on the rink, our unknown
Romeo bent over and kissed our
young girl friend. Of course our
heroine was furious CD. After the
lights were turned on there was a
mad scramble and the unknown
Romeo disappeared leaving our las
sic wondering. There is no
problem to this story except (de-
spite the fact that she did appear
angry she is still puzzled who
in the world the rather fresh
Romeo was. (Ain't it grand to be
bewildered?)

ing about NATHANIEL BUR-

The officer told me that the boys in Iceland are
gratified with the that they are going get

They very happy but the feel this
way about it: They want all of you back home to

ANTI-NAZI MARTYR

High U. S. Catholic authorities
have received confidential word that
DR.. Helm Hoeben, general secretary
of the International Catholic Press
Agency. died some weeks ago in the
dreaded SIS prison in Berlin as a
result Of severe ill-treatment.
No hint of Dr.. Hoeben's tragic
end has been allowed TO leak out
from Nazi sources. He was the sec
ond high official of the ICPA to
die in this prison recently The
other was Monsignor Origer, vice
president of the ICPA.
A dauntless foe of the NaZis. DR..
Hoeben fought them long before
the invasion of Holland, his home
land.
His fearlessness Infatuated the
Nazis and they made repeated eff
forts to intimidate him. One tao
tic was anonymous telephone calls.
His phone would ring and when
he answered an unknown voice
would say, When we take over.
you will get a bullet between your
eyes"
To combat DR.. Hoeben's powerful
press activities against them, the
Nazis set up rival Catholic press
agency in Berlin, headed by a
Quisling Dutchman. DR.. Hoeben
exposed this SO devastatingly that
the Nazis were forced to abandon
the scheme.
After the invasion of Holland,
DR.. Hoeben escaped to France,
where he was captured by the
Germans, who tried to persuade him
TO become one of their stooge col
laborationists" He refused, and
they threw him into the SIS prison.

Until this evening adverse plan

HEART AND HOME: The eve
ming is an unusually favorable time
for women of all ages. While the
stars promise much to the girls
who seek romance their elders may
expect recognition for their part
in promoting war work. Increasing
numbers of women will be absorbed
by industry and many will prove
their ability as pilots to relieve
aviatorS in commercial or ferrying
tasks From this date the real
value of the wives and mothers of
the naticn will be demonstrated in
public service.
BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Farmers
will demonstrate their patriotism as
they till the rich lands north and
south, east and west. While the
Government farm program, proved
successful through nearly decade,
will cause controversy among legis-
lators thousands will ignore person.

for future prices that food products

NATIONAL ISSUES: Initiation

Government safeguards begin to APP
pear inadequate. The American
spirit will persist despite warnings,
and price tags will be of little in
terest to men and women who are
earning big wages. Scarcity OF GER
tain commodities and luXuries will
appear to whet desire to possess
them. Through the summer gem
erous spending will extend to tray

large scale.
INTERNATIONAL AFFAIR S.:
That 1912 will bring the turning
point toward victory for the United
Nations will be recognized in the
autumn but there will be this
