Hello Folks:

Hello Folks:
With spring still in "full bloom"
you can be sure to find many of
our local lads and lassies in the
various parks round town, tuning
up for the coming summer base
ball games. Roller skating at
the various arenas in st. Paul and
Minneapolis is still holding the
limelight with the younger set, who
are looking forward to roller skat-
ing right soon on the Out-Of-dOOr
Kinks. This promises to be quite
the popular thing during the sum-
mer months. The Excelsior
Amusement Park in Minneapolis
opened up last week and quite a
number of our folks were seen try
ing out the good old roller coaster,
tilt-a-whirl, etc. One lass, who isn't
so bright anyway, went on the tilt
a-whirl a number of times and
claims she still feels dizzy. (Me-
thinks she was dizzy before she
went on it,

The characters in our story this

known family. They have a few
children, but their favOrite child
is the youngest son, who just re-
Gently became of draft age. From
the very outbreak of the war, these
parents have been doing nothing
but thinking up schemes as to how
to save their son from being
drafted. Of course, the papa in the
family, who was supposed to be
the brainy one, thought up the
scheme of claiming this son to be

know if should stay with him OF
finish my education.
Ans.-Finish your college work
by all means. Your parents have
worked and sacrificed to put you
through school. Go back home to
your parents. You have only one
semester before you finish your
four year college course. With q
college degree, you can be some
thing worth while. You haven't
found your right mate yet.
l. S.-Maybe you can help me
1 am alone and will be out of q
home soon as my nephew is going
in the army. Tell me the proper
thing to do in this case.
Ans.-Advertise for a job. APP
ply for work with a reliable family
that will enable you to live on the
premises. Your first thought is to
get work and become self-support-
ing again. Then my suggestion
would be for you to get out and
make friends, and try to find some
man who would make a dependable
mate. For you are not too old to
get married.
A. CIVIL be welcome at my
Aunt Mary's house in Chicago?
You know how some of your folks
are, what 1 mean they act funny
when you stay on them too long.
She says she wishes was up there
with her. Is it advisable for me
to make this change?
Ans.-YOu would be welcome for
couple of weeks, but no longer if
you don't get work. She would be
glad to give you a chance to better
yourself. Bear in mind that this
trip to your aunt's is not a social
affair and the first thing you must
do when you get there is to get out
and find work.
M. R. WI am very much in
need of help. What wish to know
is would it be wise for me to stay
here or go back to West Virginia?
Ans.-Stick to your job for the
time being. You left your boy
friend in a fit of anger and went
north to go to work. Don't think
for one minute that he has been
waiting all these months for you to
change your mind and return. Be-
fore making a trip to visit him,
write the old boy and see what he
has slated on his program in the
way of romance.

We have just as great heroes in the navy

cannot be written.
For instance, there is Raymond Padgett,
dark haired New Yorker who was ammunition
passer on destroyer. His job was TO feed fourA

While standing near the rail, the blast from
the gun blew him overheard one night and he
didn't realize he still was holding a shell until
he had gone deep down into the sea.

Fortunately he was wearing life belt but
he spent night of terror in the water with
shells bursting all around him in the shark

These straits are narrow that American

Heydrieh's
Killer Shot.
Prague Says

LONDON, June 10 (UP).-
Czech nationalist quarters doubted
today that the assassins of Rein
hard Heydrich had been captured
and executed in Prague.
Radio Prague announced last
night, two hours after Gernanys
time limit for the surrender OF
the slayers of the gestapo's hang
man expired. that the patriot kill
ers had been trapped in church
and shot while resisting arrest.
The broadcast said several &C
completes had been arrested by
the secret police, who "estab-
lished beyond doubt that the two
assa atlantis were parachutistS
dropped from a British plane.
Heydrich was fatally wounded by
two gunner who shot him as his
limousine sped along a Prague
street. They escaped on bicycles.
MASS ANNIHILATION
1.-THE entire surroundings with
which the assailants had been
connected were wiped out" the
announcement said. indicating
that the gestapo was continuing
its wanton policy of mass annihi-
lation of individuals and their
property.
Czechs here believed that the
German claim was a matter OF
face saving.
The geStapo'S offers OF huge re-
wards for information had brought
no clues from civilians in Czecho-
Slovakia, they said, and it was
unlikely that the aSSaSsins had
been exposed TO the Germans.
