ALASKA CAN
 RAISE LAPS
 FOOD, SAID
Sir Hubert Wilkins, ExpIor. CT, Claims Territory
 Gould Keep Peace

DALLAS, Texas, Oct. 17-Alaska could be utilized after the war to maintain peace in the Pacific, Sir Hubert Wilkins, Arctic and Ant arctic explorer said at dinner address here last night.
 He said Alaska has more arable land than Sweden and Finland, with rich volcanic soil which is easily cultivated.
 He said that Alaska could produce as much food as Japan needs.
 Ut is against all contemporary principles to furnish Japan any thing it needs, but in the long run after this war, that would be better than having them continue fighting for it."
 If Alaska is developed and trade opened with Japan for it's needs in food, timber and possible oil sup plies, there would be no reason for the country to fight again for these things.
 Sir Hubert added that Alaska could be the point of assembly for the Air Forces if it becomes necessary for the Allied nations to police the world, since planes can now fly nonstop to Alaska to any capital in the northern hemisphere.

WASHINGTON, Oct 17-Back- ing up the Army's High Command, the House today refused to consider amendments to the 18-19 year-old draft bill which would have barred the use of the teen age troops from foreign combat until first trained year on American soil
 With the passage of the bill by nightfall practically assured, the House blocked the training period amendment by adopting a rule pre- venting consideration of any am- endments offered from the floor ex- cept those bearing directly of chang ing the present 20 to 45 year range for Selective Service.
 A standing vote, PIP to 42, followed reading of a letter from Gen. Mar shall, Chief of Staff of the United States Army, on the shelving of the amendment barring teen agers from foreign combat service

 The Capital itself suffered little more than inconvenience because Of dilles and other precautions thrown up under President Roosevelt's per- sonal eye, but the debris laden Po- tomac and Rapahannock rivers maroored thousands and caused millions of dollars worth of damage on the lowlands of Virginia, West Virginia and Maryland.
 Five persons are listed officially as dead with scores missing.
 The hardest hit section was Fred erickSburg, Virginia.

picture, will be shown at the Fin
layson high school auditorium next

nominations from various walks of
life, has been shown in many mill
tary camps and has received a ire
mendous applause from top-ranking
officers down to privates After it
was shown at the Indiana state peni-
tertiary, one of the guards remarked
that "The Power of God" demon
strated, in very forceful way, the
power of the living Gospel of Christ.

Forty Tons OF Tin
Weekly From, Tubes

The little tin tube that formerly
found its way into the bathroom
waste basket after being patiently
coaxed to yield the last of its con-
tents, is now entering the war effort
and doing its share to help whip
the Axis forces.
Over half million pounds of pre-
cious tin has been brought into the
war program since the WPB order
requiring that an empty tube be
turned in for every tube of tooth
paste or shaving cream purchased
went into effect. An average of 40
tons of tubes week is being re-
ceived and the amount is expected
to 60 higher.
The average large tube has about
half an ounce of tin, sixty such con-
tanners providing enough tin to
solder all electrical connections in a
fighter plane. Two hundred and
forty tubes will do the same job for
a Flying Fortress. Tin is also used
as a coating for food containers for
the armed forces.

Young Brook Park
Girl Is Laid To Rest

Loretta Mae Swedlund, second
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Edwin
Swedlund of Brook Park, passed away
Sunday evening, November l, at the
University hospital in Minneapolis.
The little girl first became ill last
April, spending most of the time since
at the hospital.
She was born March S, 1884 in
Brook Park, living there all her life
with the exception of a year when
the family resided in st. Paul.
Funeral services were conducted
Wednesday afternoon of last week at
2 o'clock from the home and at 2:30
from the Methodist church, Rev.
Hanson officiating. Harold and VAL
borg Palm sang several selections at
the services. The pallbearers were
Mia Clark, Lola Mccormick, Ger
aldine Clark, Gloria Fleming, Donna
Berndt and Blanche Harapat.
Left to mourn the passing of Lor-
eta Mae Swedlund, and to cherish
her memory, are her parents, three
sisters, Mavis, Ruth Ann and Bev-
erly, brother Jack and other rela-
tives.
Those from out of town who came
for the funeral were Mrs. Lester
Gross and children, Mr.. and Mrs.

Minneapolis, and Mrs. Thorvald Jen-
sen and daughter and Leroy Swed-
lund of ASkov.

Assistance Asked
In Yule Mailing
Post Office Department is
Facing Largest Christmas
Deluge in History.

The Post Office department now is
starting the most gigantic task in it's
history-the movement of a deluge
of Christmas parcels, cards and let
tiers while maintaining the regular
flow of millions of pieces of mail
daily to and from the armed forces
all over the world
Indications are that the volume of
Christmas mail will be the largest
on record. Already in September,
latest month for which figures are
available, retail sales had reached
a level second only to the record
month of December, 1941, according
to the Department of Commerce.
Public Must Cooperate.
If thousands of soldiers, sailors,
marines and civilian friends are not
to be disappointed at Christmas time,
the public must cooperate by mail
ing earlier than ever before and by
addressing letters and parcels prop
erly. The best efforts of the Post
Office department alone cannot be
enough, in view of wartime difficult
ties faced by the postal system. The
public must assist.
About $4,000 experienced postal
workers alrady have been taken by
the war services. Arrangements are
under way to add thousands of tenn
porary personnel to postal staffs, but
this man power is hard to find and
is inexperienced. Facilities of rail-
roads and air lines are heavily taxed
by movements of huge quantities of
war materials and personnel. Extra
trucks are almost impossible to OBJ
tain.
Privilege Raises Mailings.
The free-mailing privilege granted
to members of the armed forces has
raised their mailings some 80 per
cent, it is estimated. Expansion of
those forces also is adding rapidly
to the postal burden.
The deadline already is past for
mailing gifts to Army and Navy per-
sonnet overseas with assurance that
the parcels will arrive by Christmas.
The New York post office reports
that in late October, $4,000 such
parcels were handled daily in that
office alone.
The Post Office department is max
ing strenuous efforts to avoid such a
terrific jam as it faced in 1918 under
similar conditions, during the first
World war. It can succeed in those
efforts, and avoid many heartaches
for its patrons-if the public will CO.
operate by mailing early.

Superintendent Kenneth E. An

Superintendent Kenneth E. An
derson, in charge of registration at
the Askov schools, asks that those
who do not have motor vehicle
registration or license card bring
the following information about
their car when they apply for gas
oline rationing book:
Make of car. Body style. En-
CINE number. Vehicle license num-
Der. State of registration. Name

name vehicle is registered.
AS number of registrants have
applied recently for auto license,
and have not as yet received their
new registration card, the above
description must be furnished the
rationing board. Those who al
ready have their 1913 cards may
bring them instead.

By GEORG STRANDVOLD

On the day when the Russian
Soviet republics celebrated their
twenty-fifth anniversary, and on the
day when it was three months since
the battle of the Solomon Islands
began, the world was thrilled, in
deed, almost electrified by the an
nouncement that large American
force had landed in parts of French
North and West Africa.
The thrill was due to the per-
haps correct presumption that
this move marked the beginning
of one phase of the long awaited
Second Front.
Although the announcement itself
was complete surprise, it was not
unexpected that Second Front events
would take place somewhere in or
near the Mediterranean Sea, for de-
velopments have been pointing pretty
steadily in that direction for some
time.
ROmmel Runs.
In Egypt, especially, things have
happened fast and furiously, for here
the British have resumed their often
sive against General-Field-M Marshal
Erwin RommeIs NaZi and Fascist
forces with the result that they have
been driven far back from their
position near Ell Alamein; they really
are on the run, with the British
General B. L. Montgomery in hot
test pursuit, and chances are that
the axis divisions will be destroyed.
For while the British attack
from the east, it is possible that
the recently arrived Americans
may begin an offensive from the
west. In such q case, R0mmel
will be simply squeezed in be-
tween two attacking armies, and
the squeeze may be crushing
one.
There is an ancient and famous
saying to the effect that from Africa
no news ever comes; nothing ever
happens there. That claim seems
to merit revision just now.
