CrOnin Credits ConrOy With Red SOx Rise
Rock Catcher Is Remindful Of Carrigan
BY HARRY CRIMSON NEA Service Sports Editor

Boston, July.-Joe Cronin was asked to put his finger on the play CT most responsible for the rapid rise of the Red Sox.
 "Bill Conroy," replied the fight ing manager of the Bostons. He's the first rough Irishman the Red Sox have had since Bill Carrigan and the first big catcher since Carrlgan and Forest Cady.
 That's a fine compliment for recruit being compared with Carrigan, great catcher manager of the Hubs matchless pre-World War I world champions.
 A tousle-haired Mick standing an an even six feet and weighing 19O pounds, Conroy is a slambang ball player after Cronin's own heart.
 Conroy joined Connie Mack as a batting practice catcher in 1883, was farmed out. Slow to show progress, the Athletics let him go. Landing with the Oakland Coast CTS in '38, he found himself there last term, with a total base mark of 12l and a .292 batting average in R0 enpapementS

Church and Home
BY REV. M. MIKKELSEN

One would hardly conceive of God
as being lonesome, or being subject to
the implications of loneliness. Yet,
the greatest conception one can have
of God is that which can be trans
lated into human Technology. Johns
statement that "God so loved the
world that He sent His only begotten
Son." certainly indicates that, al
though love prompted Him to do so,
He was in no way immune to these
implications. So it is quite safe to
say that God, through personal ex-
perience, is fully acquainted with all
the sufferings which generally ac-
company true love, that He is well
informed about the nature of human
distress, and that because of His own
experience with suffering He is well
qualified to take into His own hands
and heart all such problems and
situations which in one way or an
other may be imposed upon us and
cause us deep sorrow and anxiety.
1t requires great deal of cour-
age and true faith calmly to face
the future when ones vision is
dimmed both by sorrow and by un-
certainty.
The death of her husband was
such a shock to Madame Curie that
for months she was unable to regain
her former equipoise. Many others
have had similar experiences, each
of whom perhaps would have slight
ly different story to relate if they
were to tell how serenity had been
restored in their lives. Many of
them would say that without faith
and ability to hold on to that they
would never have come out of the
depression, others perhaps would add
that work had been an essential fac
tor in the restoration of their COM
posure, all to be sure would fully
agree that idleness by all means
should be avoided.
There will be more loneliness in
days to come than we have known
for years. Homes from where the
boys have gone to serve their country
will be among the first units to full
ly realize that we are in the war.
Slowly it may dawn in time upon all
of us; but, as yet, the war is still
something far off for most of our
people, Social activities seem to have
been thrown into high gear offering
a possible escape from the impending
situation.
Fathers, mothers, and wives are
being left alone. Theirs is no easy
task. They know what their duty
is, no one utters complaint, but the
pain of suffering love is theirs to
endure; there is no escape that you
and I can offer.

IN MEMORIAM

In loving memory of our dear wife
and mother, Mary Komar, who passed
away February 8, 1941.
When evening shades have fallen,
And we sit in silence alone,
In our hearts, there comes a longing,
If only she could come home.
Some think we do not miss her,
When they see us laugh and smile,
Little do they know the heartaches,
That we hide all the while.
In sorrow we waited day by day,
And watched her suffering there.
Slowly but surely passing away,
From the pain she scarce could bear.
And then God called her from His
throne above,
Her suffering and pain is past,
We know she has gone to realms Of
love,
And in heaven has peace at last.
Sadly missed by Joseph Komar
and children.

PINE COUNTY RURAL
SCHOOL NEWS
Coming Events and Activities.
A. E. GusrArsoN. County Stunt


The fifteen rural teachers of Sec
ton One in the Sturgeon Lake area
are having a Valentine day party
for their group.
The Denham PIT. A. is having a
social and dance February IL to raise
money to pay balance of costs of
their skating rink. Come. Mrs. EN-
ma Slama, who is treasurer of the
school board, is chairman of the Par
ent-Teachers Association at Denham
Rock Creek, District 4, is losing
its very efficient and likable teach
er, Mrs. lone Nelson Engel. Mrs.
Jessie Mullins of Pine City, will
take over the work for the balance
of this school year.
Most of the 96 schools that are
receiving surplus commodities are
serving at least one hot dish daily.
A few of the schools that serve hot
lunches have been able to secure
WPA cooks. One of our teachers

reported that one child gained II
pounds since October.
One of the seven great aims in edu-
cation is Building Better Health.
The other six great aims are: Citizen
ship training, character building, vo-
cational guidance, more worthy home
membership, better use of leisure
time and training in the fundamental
processes (book learning).
Daylight Saving Time.
On February 9 all the clocks in
our nation will be set ahead one
hour. The object is to make better use
of our entire daylight time and not
burn the lights so far into the eve
ming darkness.
In rural areas the men now feed
stock in the early morning dark
ness and women prepare breakfast
before daybreak these short winter
days. Many teachers, bus drivers
and pupils are on their way to school
now before sun-up. So many ques-
tions have come to our office regard
ing this daylight saving problem.
We understand that number Of
schools expect to operate from $50
a. m. to 4 p. m. or 4:30 p. m. and
some schools expect to operate their
schedule from 10 a. m. to 4:30 p. m.
during February and possibly March
while the days are short. This prob
lem must be worked out by the diff
ferent school boards and their teach
ers if found necessary, so as to save
on daylight during the short days.
All clocks, however, must be set
ahead one hour on February 9.
Schools must operate a six-hour ses-
sion daily. This does not include the
noon hour.

Health Ward
Information furnished by Pine County
Nursing Service.

Miss Laura Nelson, county nurse,
visited schools in districts No. rs,
1913, 80 and 13. She found some of
the children with skin infections,
some malnourished, many with poor
teeth, none with defective vision ex-
cept headaches which may be from
poor or weak eyes. The homes were
visited in the skin infection cases
and she discussed the care of these
children with their parents.
The second dose of diphtheria tox-
old will be given to the children at
the Sandstone school February IL.
All those who received the first dose
on January or IA are urged to be
there. The local doctors will be
there at l o'clock in the afternoon.
The nursing service now has four
WPA housekeepers assigned in the
county. Two at Pine City, one at
Hinckley and one at Sandstone. 1t
is hoped that classes will be started
for these women soon. There will
be classes in home making, cooking,
nutrition, budgeting and simple home
nursing. These women are to work
in homes where they need domestic
help but are unable to provide for this
themselves.
On Thursday of last week Miss
Eleanor Mikkelson of the State De-
partment of Health, visited the nurs-
ing service in Pine county. An at
tempt is being made to organize
classes in home nursing in various
parts of the county. Nurses who
have been inactive will be called on
to help teach these classes.
The East Central subcommittee
will meet Wednesday evening, Febru-
ary IL, at the home of Mrs. Earl
Jones of Cloverton. The disease,
diabetes, will be studied at this meet
ing. 1t is hoped that large num-
ber of women will be present.
This year the Mantou test will be
offered to children in the upper
grades and the high school. The dates
have not been set, but it is hoped
arrangements can be made soon and
terminated by the end of the school
term on May %.

Hans Clausen left last week for an
indefinite stay in Minneapolis.
The local school sponsored speci-
al junior Red Cross fund drive at
the school last Friday which resulted
in net contribution of $14.83. This
sum is submitted separately from
other funds and has no connection
with Askov's quota of $3.50.
The final program for the present
local Red Cross war fund drive was
staged at the D. B. S. hall Saturday
evening and sponsored by the local
Danish Brotherhood lodge. The pro-
gram was presented as advertised last
week and was thoroughly enjoyed by
the large audience. Refreshments
and dancing terminated the evening.
The final financial result was slightly
less than S25 to the Red Cross. In
cidentally this brings their total well
over their quota of $3.50.
