to sign a "closed shop" agree

which they must discharge any en-

Two St. Paul Youths
Caught At Pine City

Eugene Adams, Is, and Lawrence
Woodbury., Is, both of st. Paul, who
escaped Tuesday night from boys
camp at Battle Creek, near st. Paul,
were picked up by Patrolman w. P.
johnson Wednesday morning near
Pine City. The boys had stolen a
1910 Chevrolet car in St. Paul after
their escape from the camp, looted
a filling station at Newport and got
as far north as Pine City on their way
to Duluth when they decided to break
into the Webb Filling station at the
south end of that village. There they
took the contents of the cash register,
about $500 in notes and currency.
Then they started north again, but
following an argument as to which
direction they should have taken to
reach Duluth, turned around on the
highway, but in doing so went into
the ditch. 1t was then that Patrol
man Johnson apprehended them.
The youths were turned over to
the st. Paul police.

By GEORG STRANDVOLD

For weeks there has been rather
wistful undertone to most of the war
news, for events have not favored
the United Nations to the naturally
desired extent, but to offset any
pessimism which the developments
may have created, there is an ever
growing feeling of certainty that the
disappointments and the setbacks are
of merely temporary nature.
Of most immediate interest to
Americans is, of course, the battle
front in the south Pacific where
United States forces are struggling
valiantly against the japanese, in
sistent on conquering the Solomon
Islands and everything else in sight.
In official Washington buIle-
tins there has been no jubilant
note, and the fact does seem to
be, as high officers have admitted
publicly, that the enemy has
superiority on land, on sea, and
in the air.
Nevertheless, at the moment of
writing the Americans appear to be
holding their positions on the island
of Guadalcanal, but they seemingly
are not preventing new Japanese
landings. And it hurt pretty badly
when the announcement was made
a few days ago that one more Amer
lean aircraft carrier had gone to the
bottom of the sea.
To offset that bad impression
came, a few hours later, an an
nouncement to the effect that
the American forces had severely
damaged a number Of japanese
war vessels and shot down about
$50 enemy airplaneS.
On Saturday of this week it will
be three months since the Battle of
the Solomons began. 1t is still fur
ious and undecided.

A similar situation exists in the
far north Pacific, for here the Jap
anese still cling tenaciously to the

parents, Mr.. and Mrs. F. w. Schulze
of 139-11th Ave. NJ, South ST. Paul.
The wedding took place at st. Paurs
Lutheran church in South ST. Paul
The bride was attended by Miss
Grace Ditmarsen as maid of honor,
while her two sisters, the Misses
Ruth and Loretta Schulze, and the
groom's sister, Miss Astrid Albion,
were bridesmaids. Miss Jean Sharp
was flower girl. John Albo served
as best man and the ushers were
Daniel Clean, Kenneth Walhauser
and Chester Anderson. About 100
relatives and friends attended the
ceremony and the reception following
which was held in the community
club rooms of the Grand Mill build
ing.
The groom grew to manhood at
the family home northwest of Fin
layson and graduated from the Will
low River high school. He has since
been working in Newport and South
st. Paul, and is now doing carpenter
work at Rosemount. The bride is
well known in Finlayson as she has
visited there many times and has
made large number of friends in
that community. The young couple
will reside at South st. Paul in new
home built recently by the groom.

barn and contents on the Arthur
Bjork farm near Markville last

Mr.. Bjork had hung up the lantern
while he was doing chores, but it fell

rapidly. The flames soon gained
too much Roadway to be stopped and
efforts were confined to releasing the

Schools Set For
Registration Of
State Motorists
November II, Is Dates
Picked for Task; Appli-
cation Forms Ready.

Gasoline rationing days for Pine
county motorists, originally set for
November 9, 10 and IL, have now
been changed to two days only,
Thursday and Friday, November IL
and Is. The registration hours will
be from to p. m. and the places
will be in local schools.
The following Pine county schools
will handle registration: Askov,
Brook Park, Bruno, Cloverdale (90O,
Cloverton, Denham, District 116, Dux-
bury (104), Finlayson, Henriette (46),
Hinckley, Kerrick (125), Markville,
Pine City, Rock Creek az, Sand
stone, Sturgeon Lake and Willow
River.
Get Application Forms.
All persons expecting to apply for
ration books are urged to obtain ap-
plication forms from their local fill
ing stations, garages, tire shops, or
other business places, and fill them
out in advance so they need only file
them at registration centers on reg
istration day.
The registrants will be issued "a"
ration coupon books and ga" wind
shield stickers for use when ration
ing starts November % on a nation
wide scale. An "a" book will en-
title the registrant to purchase enough
gasoline to drive 240 miles per month.
On this form he will list, in addition
to his name and basic information,
a complete list of serial numbers on
his tires and information concerning
his car. He can list only five tires
and certify that he has no others.
If he did, he must certify that he
turned them over to the government
in the idle tire program.
Keep Under IS Mile Speed.
Also required of the motorist is a
certificate that he won't drive over
35 miles an hour, keep his tires in
repair and will not wear them be-
yond the recappable point, and that
he will have his tires inspected per-
iodically as required.
%" coupon books will be issued
by local rationing boards, in addi-
ton to the "A" books, for motorists
who require additional gasoline be-
cause of occupational or essential
needs, and a &c" book is planned
for motorists who can be classified
as any one of 20 so-called "preferred"
users, whose activities are of abso-
lutte importance to the war effort.
The application for one of these books
will be filled out and returned to the
board, which will decide whether or
not the motorist is qualified.
The "B" books would permit a
motorist to drive 47O occupational
miles plus 80 family miles, $50 in
all. &c" books will permit driving
more than 470 occupational miles
and will also allow 80 miles for fam
lily driving per month.

island of Kiska, and although they
have been driven away from other
islands, they remain on Kiska in
positions reported to be stronger
than ever before.
For many days the Washing
ton officials have maintained
silence on the Aleutian situation;
that may mean that an encour-
aging announcement is about to
be made, but, of course, it is
impossible to tell.
One fact is beyond dispute, and
that is that the Battle of the Aleu-
tians is not yet replete with cheer
for the people of the United States.
The Great Siege.
AS for the Russian front, more
particularly that of Stalingrad, it may
be said that while it has not recently
offered the United Nations any very
reassuring news, it has not, on the
other hand, been wholly bad, for the
Russians are still able to prevent
the Nazis from taking their big south
ern city.
In fact-and this is worth re-
membering-it is months since
Hitler's forces have scored
single significant victory in Rus
STA.
So far, wintry weather does not
appear to have interfered with the
Nazis to any appreciate extent, and
the only actual resistance they have
had to confront is that offered by
the truly remarkable Russian fight
ers.
Any Help?
1t is possible that Moscow has be-
come tired of asking the everlasting
question as to whether Russia's allies
are about to open a Second Front"
in order to, as Messrs. Roosevelt and
Churchill expressed it many months
ago, divert the Nazi attack" There
is feeling that the Russians will
have to depend on themselves, due
allowance being made, however, for
