tBIueberry Bills Trip
Outlined by Guide KukkO.

w. A. Pownall, Decatur, H., made
his 10th trip to Ely's canoe country
recently, and an account of it is given
by Guide Robert Kukko, who turned
author to make permanent record of
the occasion.
Accompanied by C. P. Widdicombe
and G. Payson, also of Decatur,
Pownall, after visiting several friends
in Ely, set out for his old wilderness
haunts on Eastwood lake, Guide
Kukko recounted.
Familiarly known around the north
woods as Burberry Bill" because of
his fondness for these delicious berries,
Pownall observed his birthday while
on his trip by inviting in several
campers, one of whom made two de-
licious blueberry pies, Guide Kukko
said. Everyone sang songs, and Pow
nall entertained with sleight-of- hand
tricks and ventriloquism.
After enjoying lot of good fishing
and exploring old campsites, "Blue-
berry Bill" and his friends departed
! for home, Guide Kukko said Guide
Jim Pete was also member of the
party.

Mike PEURA
Continued From Page One)

While sitting in front of his cabin
one very blustery day, Peura saw a
canoe padded by two youths ap-
preaching his place. The two excitedly
told Peura that another canoe had
capsized, splitting the two occupants
into the water.
Peura and the two young men
Jumped into the Winton mans boat
and rowed to the scene of the mishap.
When they reached the overturned
canoe they found the two youths so
exhausted that they could barely hang
on. They were just getting ready to
make a desperate try for shore by
swimming, when Peura hauled them
into his boat. The group was from st.
Paul.
Two Wisconsin men and their wives
were travelling down the lake to Win
ton in two canoes lashed together
and powered by an cupboard motor.
Peura, watching from his cabin, saw
the canoes suddenly disappear below
the surface as strong side-wind
swamped them.
When Peura reached the four in his
boat, they were standing in the sub
merged canoes, sometimes chest deep
in the water, and, when the wind
whipped up the waves, sometimes
with the water tapping their chins. He
pulled them into his boat, and, when
the canoes, relieved of their occupants,
bobbed to the surface, he fastened a
town rope to the crafts and rowed
the people, canoes, equipment and all
to shore.
Three Kansas City men in canoe
propelled by an cupboard motor were
! travelling up the lake when their
craft capsized. Peura, witnessing the
accident, jumped into his boat, but
before he reached the scene another
Winton man had pulled the men out
of the water.
He is Sakri Olson, who has a
cabin on the south side of the lake.
Peura retrieved the canoe, motor
and equipment.
Twenty-Five years ago Peura had
nearly all of his left hand blown of
while blasting stumps with dynamite
but this did not seem to handicap
him when it came to pulling drown
ing people out of the water.

STAMP NO. 3
BUYS 5 POUNDS
Sugar Allotment Increased t.
Facilitate Moving Large
Sacks Now on Hand.

Sugar ration stamp No. 8 VIII be
good for five pounds of sugar during
the lO-week period beginning Sunday
and ending on Oct. 81, according TO
information given out by the Office
of Price Administration.
Stamps No. 6 and No. z, each good
for the two pounds of sugar, are
disable until the close Of business Sat
urday. Stamp No. z gave consumers
a two-pound bonus.
The amount of sugar was increased
for stamp No. 8 in order to move five,
10 and 25-pound packages prepared
before rationing started and now held
in storage by professors who had been
unable to market them because
stamps were good for one or two
pound purchases. Disposal Of these
large packages of sugar eliminates re-
packing and waste of labor and mate
rial, OPA said.
The basic ration of one-half pound
per person per week is not changed
by the stamp No. 8 order, 1t is
emphasized.

put them back in the ball game.
Whiteside collected four home runs to

for enlistment in any of the above
branches of the service should present
themselves at the nearest recruiting
Office where they will be given the
necessary physical examinations.
Upon completion of their enlistments
students will return to the junior col
lege and follow the prescribed course
of study laid out for them there.
The only difference between the
courses of study of these enlisted
students and others is that they must
take work in higher mathematics, COL
lege physics, as well as additional
hours in physical education.
Age limits run from II to 26 years
and enlistment is for the duration
with the proviso that if an emergency
occurs students may be called to active
service before completion of this adj
vance training will take comprehen-
Sive examination which if passed will
admit them to officers training schools
or entitle them to continue in higher
institutions of learning for their de-
grees.
Full details regarding the above
training program can be secured at
the time of registration.
The vocational shop course will be
continued again by the college due to
the great demand for trained machine
workers of all types. 1t is expected
that great many will prepare them
selves for defense work through this
course.
The same is true of the commercial
department which at this time has
a large number of girls placed in gov
ernmental defense agencies in Wash
ington.
In view of the heavy demand for
nursing students, it is also expected
that many girls will sign up for the
natural sciences and general pre-
nursing curricula.
All other departments will function
without change.

necessity for Everybody saving at least 1919 in War
Bonds every payday"

New Haven, Conn.,, June 5-Mrs James Rowland Angel, Director of Organization for the Consumer Committee of the State Defense Council, announced today that a total of 108 of the 169 towns in the state now are actively assisting in the committees program through the medium of local sub-commit- tees.
 The rapid expansion in the num- Der of local Consumer Committees whose mission it is to advise the public on how to buy wisely and well in the face of growing short ages and how to take care of the things they now have-was attrib- uted to a growing demand on the part of the people for such informa- ton.
 Alluding to a recent conference between New England State Defense Council heads and Regional OPA Directors where Connecticut was lauded for having performed "the outstanding job in the country" in the dissemination of consumer inc formation, Mrs. Angell revealed that the Consumer Committee has received inquiries regarding its Ac- tivities from similar groups being formulated in more than a dozen other states in the union.

GOebbelS Struggles at Biggest Job"--- Whipping Up Hatred for Americans
poLcos ARE BTER BUT MASSES ARE INDIFFERENT OR APATHETc

Immediately preceding the war, Germans of the middle working classes without exception treated me, in our personal meetings, with extreme consideration.
 It was the rule that our con- versations inevitably swung to dis- cusslons of American movies, Amer ican automobiles, American homes and cities-and also significantly, to those ltlxuries and necessities which the Germans had sacrificed to the war effort.
 Three days after war came, had l2 hours grace allowed by the Ges- tapo for any packing preparatory to internment.
 That brief period was crowded with revelations of middle-class feeling for tlle new enemy. I could hardly believe I was hearing some of the things that were said.
 "What e pity; now the whole world is at war"
 "Yes, and look who brought it on-one man, one of our own people"
 I was piled with precious choc- olate drops, priceless coffee, rare old cigarettes and Q dozen other unobtainable delicacies which these Germans had hoarded away for special days. Since none of the persons I saw were particularly close acquaintances, I could only judge that their attitude sprang from a genuine revulslon at having to fight the American people. HOTEL GUARDS
 REMAIN FRIENDLY This was confirmed during in- ternment by many of the German staff in the hotel at Nauheim. Never did ! hear an unfriendly word spoken about Roosevelt, Americans in general, or the war action itself, though every news paper and every radio broadcast was filled with anti-American venom.
 Goebbels is now struggling with the biggest job of his career.
 Goebbels must convert these sym- pathetic or apathetic middle classes into virulent American -haters. If he fails, the German Home front will rot away.
 As for the German army and navy, they regard the new enemy simply as another foe. They do not have to be propagandized to make them fight. Trained in the hard Nazi school, and the Prussian military tradition, they will fight America just as they would fight any opponent.
 It is safe to say that on the po- litical and actual fighting fronts, Germany will swing its whole weight at us. The Home Front may not be able to digest its new enemy.
