National Art Gallery
Marks Anniversary;
100000 Visitors
First Yeur Shows
Institution Passed
Hopes of Donor

Firmly established as one of the
Capitals most popular public at
fractions, the National Gallery OF
Art today observed the first anni-
versary of its dedication 1ait March
II by President Roosevelt.
An astonishing total of 1000, ,000
visitors for the year was reached
last Sunday. Offlcials felt this was
proof of the late Andrew w. Mel
Ions belief that Washington had
need of such a gallery to house the
nucleus of a great national collec-
ton.
Before his death in 1887, Mr.
Mellon provided the funds and ap-
proved the plans for the classic
structure on the Mall. He con-
tributed his own collection of paint
tngs and sculpture, which have set
a high standard for judging Subse-
quent additions to the gallery.
Hoped for Living Institution"
At the dedication last year, Paul
Mellon, son of the donor, expressed
the hope that "the National Gallery
would become not static but a
living institution, growing in use
fulneSs and Importance to artists,
scholars and the general public"
This hope has been justified by
gifts from many of the Nations
leading collectors. including Samuel
H. KreSS, Chester Dale, DUNCAN
Phillips. Mrs. Felix Warburg, Mrs.
Peter Frelinghuysen and otherS.f
In addition, the gallery now has
on exhibition loan collection of
18th century French paintings sent
to South America before the war
These paintings, with those from the
Chester Dale and Harris White
more collections, form a compre-
hensive illustration of this great
century of French painting.
The gallery is acquiring as rapidly
as possible an adequate library of
books and photographs. Black and
white colored prints of many of
the paintings can be purchased at
moderate prices. These have been
widely distributed throughout the
country in the last year.
Weekly Lectures.
Another feature of the gallery are
weekly lectures by members of the
curatorial staff on some phaS of
art as illustrated by the collection.
These lectures are free to the pub
lie, as are all services, including
daily admission to the gallery.
Exhibitions have included Amer
lean water colorS, Australian paint
ing, sketches Of London under
bombing by members of the London
Auxiliary Fire Service and Ameri-
can water colors illustrating war
time activities in this country.

Sharp Dip Noted
In Cattle Prices

even Declines this Week
in Hog Division.

South st. Paul, Mimi, December l.,
1912: The cattle market saw the
sharpest downturn of the fall season
enforced on the early days of this
week. Losses for steers and heifers
figured 25c to mostly SOC, even the
half dollar decline failing to cover
the extreme cases. Cows after SELL
ing actively and strong to higher for
weeks, finally reached the satura-
ton point and react. The downturn
of the cows was not as sharp as on
steers and heifers, although the loss
did measure fully 25 cents and in
spots so cents. Bulls held steady
and vealers were weak to so cents
lower. Stockers and feeders sold
steady on Monday but..ranged weak
to Is cents lower on the following
session. Good and choice slaughter
steers brought S15.75 and $1,000,
while bulk of the common and good
grades cleared at $1,000 to $14.50.
Choice fleshy feeder steers went at
$14.25, numerous loads yearlings
making $14.00.
A return to the practice of sorting
for weights in the hog division
brought about some uneven declines
this week. Barrows and gifts above
200 pounds were Is to Is cents lower,
while lighter weights were 25 to 40
cents off. Sows declined mostly 25
cents. On Tuesday hogs scaling above
100 pounds bulked at $3.50 to $1,000
with the top at $500 generally con-
fined to weights above 230 pounds.
Weights under 200 pounds cashed at
$12.75 to $3.50, and sows sold mainly
at $3.50. Feeder pigs were rs to
so cents lower. Late sales of weighty
pigs were made at $500 to $13.25,
with few light kinds up to $3.50.
Slaughter lambs were weak to
mostly Is cents lower, while other
slaughter classes held about steady.
Feeding lambs gained 25 to so cents.
The bulk of the good and choice fat
lambs, mainly natives and Dakotas
sold at $500, with a few choice
making $15.25 late Tuesday. Year
lings were scarce, only few medium
and good kinds being noted at $12.50
to $12.75. Two loads of choice clipped
lambs with No. and No. 2 pelts were
bought to arrive at $14.90, good

The Askov air raid wardens had
planned a practice blackout for
Monday, December 7, but this has
now been changed to the 18th to
come under the countrywide one.
When the warning sounds every
light in the village must be turned
off Immediately except where
windows have been properly COW
cred so that no light will shine
through. If radio or stove near a
window casts a light it should be
closely screened so that no light
can be seen from the street. Auto
lists on the village streets at the
time must pull to the side and
turn off their lights.
The Askov air raid wardens will
contact the various homes and
business places under their juris-
diction before December IL and
anyone wishing further informa-
tion concerning blackout regula-
tions may get same from them.
All persons, except air raid
wardens and other authorized Of
feials, must remain indoors dur
ing the blackout and pedestrians
on the streets when the warning
signal sounds should seek the near
est shelter at once. Citizens are
asked to cooperate fully in COM
plying with the regulations and
with instructions of air raid Of
ficials. Do not use the telephone
during the blackout period except
in a case of emergency.

More Production
For '43 Planned
ByFarmers Here
Increase in Both Dairy and
Poultry Products Seen by
Survey.

Nearly 800 Pine county neighbor-
hood leaders are now assisting County
Agent Clyde P. Shumway in check
up of Pine county farms in a state
wide survey of wartime production
goals. Reports. coming in to date
indicate that both dairy and poultry
production here will be increased
during the coming year. Local re-
ports are being forwarded to the Uni
versity Farm to become part of the
picture of the state as whole.
I943 Task More Difficult.
Paul E. Miller, director of the Min
nesota Agricultural Extension serv-
ice, states that farmers are bent on
increasing output of livestock food
products in spite of the handicaps
that make the job in 1943 much more
difficult than it was in 1912.
Neighborhood leaders have found
that farmers are finding it hard to
hold up dairy production in the face
of labor shortages, but that poultry
and hog raisers are planning to in
crease their output of eggs and meat
substantially Leaders are express
ing concern over the labor situation.
They report that number of farm
ers in every community have had to
cut down on their operations because
of this problem.
Meeting Wartime Problems.
''The neighborhood check-up tells
us at least two very important things
about the farm situation in Mime
sota," says Mr.. Miller. ''It is GER
tain that every farm family that can
possibly do so is intending to step
up to even higher levels the pro-
duction of the critical war foods.
Farm people are not only determined
to do their part in winning the war
but they have shown an amazing
ability within the family and within
the neighborhood to meet the labor
and machinery situation as it be-
comes more critical. So far, longer
hours in the barn and in the fields,
extra outdoor work by farm women
and children, and greater efficiency
in farm production have kept the
food assembly lines going.
First All Duty.
There is no doubt that farm peo-
pie are already working out plans
for carrying this intensified program
even farther next year. We know
that many neighborhood meetings are
being held to work out effective
plans for change-work and coopera-
tive use of machinery. Minnesota's
great army of All boys and girls
has put the job of helping their par
ents keep up production of war foods
as their first duty for 1943.
"In spite of this determination on
the part of farm people, l have grave
doubts that production can be kept
at needed levels unless effective ac-
ton is taken to prevent further drain
of skilled farm workers into defense
industries and armed services"

BY GEORG STRANDVOLD

One of history's most stirring
dramas was enacted in the harbor
of Toulon few days ago when the
French blew up their Mediterranean
fleet rather than having it fall into
the hands of Hitler.
BY this act the French re-
vealed their true attitude which
for a couple of years had been
concealed beneath compulsory
obedience to Hitler and his
henchmen; the French told the
world in a most sensational man
ner that they hate Hitler and
Nazism worse than death.
The practical result of the heroic
gesture was to deprive the Germans
of the potential use of the Mediter-
ranean fleet against those nations
which are the real friends of France,
so, in most painful way, Hitler suf-
fered at Toulon one of those defeats
which smart even though he did sue
ceed in occupying the city, as so often
before, by violating solemn agree
ment bearing his own signature.
North African Front.
In all considerations connected with
the war in North Africa the Toulon
fleet had loomed up very conspicu-
ously, and there was a great deal of
speculation as to which side would
secure the opportunity of using it.
AS it was, the fleet vanished under
the waves, and, as Hamlet said, "the
rest is silence" That fleet won't do
any fighting.
The war, however, goes on in
Tunisia with the same ferocity as
before-the war between Germans
and Italians on one, Americans and
British on the other side.
While the axis forces have had
to retreat from the larger part
of Tunisia, and while the fight
ing is confined, mostly, to the
cities of Bizerte and Tunis, 1t is
not denied that the British and
the Americans are facing stiff
