Hold Quarterly Meeting.

The local congregation held its
first quarterly meeting of the year
in the assembly hall Sunday after
noon. Routine business matters dis
closed that there was small balance
in the treasury as of March 81, but
the bills payable the first of the month
will require more than the amount
on hand. A. Gravesen is the book
keeper and will be pleased to accept
your regular dues quarterly in ad-
vance.
There was considerable discussion
relative to doing our part financially
for the Lutheran World Action. Un-
der the leadership of Rev. M. Mikkel-
sen a large committee will take up
the work the latter part of this
month. Likely there will be house
to house canvass to raise our quota
which is approximately 40 cents per
confirmed member.
The chairman proposed that the
small remaining debt of the congre-
cation be wiped out at this time. It
was decided to attempt this by vol
untary contributions. Those who
wish to lend hand are requested to
make their contributions to either A.

Discuss Street Question.

Members of the village council ap-
peared before the school board at the
regular meeting Tuesday evening to
request title on strip of property
on the north end of the school
grounds, same to be used for street
purposes. Following short discus
sion it was decided to place the ques-
ton before the voters at the next an
nual election of the district, which
will be May 10.
The property desired will be strip
25 feet wide running from old high
way % west to the new highway,
which, together with private road
already there, will give residents re-
siding west and north of the school
house an outlet via a regular viii
lage street that can be properly main
tanned. The property on which the
present road is built, owned by Martin
Johnson, is only Is feet wide, too
narrow for street purposes. He will
relinquish title to this strip.
Under present arrangements five
families residing in that neighbor-
hood find it necessary to use private
roads belonging to someone else in
order to leave their property. These
roads are not wide enough for viii
lage streets, and under existing con-
ditions can not be maintained, re-
paired or snowplowed by the village.
The proposed street will create NO
new traffic hazard for school chill
dren as it is not planned to complete
the project on the west end at present,
but merely to acquire title to the
whole strip while the street is being
plated, and the east end graded.

PROCEEDINGS OF
SCHOOL BOARD
Dist. No. IL.

The regular meeting of the school
board was held on April ID, 1912
with all members present. The min
utes of the previous meeting were
read and approved.
A delegation from the village coun-
Gil of Askov appeared before the
board and requested strip of pro-
perty for village street along the
north edge of the school grounds.
Since no school property can legally
be disposed of except by vote of
the electors, motion was made and
carried to vote on this question at
the annual election, May 10.
For the past two or three years the
annual election has been set by law
for the 3rd Tuesday in May instead
of in July as formerly. If the July
meeting is to be discontinued it
must be so voted at the May election.
A motion was made and carried to
vote on whether the July meeting
should be continued in addition to
the May election.
Otto U. HolDerg presented MS res
ignation as superintendent, effective
Aug. l, 1912, so that he might accept
a position at the University of Ne

accept his resignation.

Evening star., 1942-12-30

will be plain to observers that the
most significant event of this present
era OF human experience is not what
Hitler and his partners have done
but rather what they have not been
able to do. And much credit for the
Illustration of the Axis may be found
to be due to the elemental nature of
democracy. The free peoples of the
earth may not be so conspicuously
efficient as the Germans and the
japanese. 1t is conceivable that
totalitarian criticism of the laissez-
faire philosophy of the liberal COM
munities is justified. What the
tyrannical perfectionists have left
out OF account is the undaunted
spiritual integrity of average men
and women who have been measur-
ably independent and self SUFFICIENT
in the ordinary routine of their lives.
IT only one single truth about the
past twelve months is remembered, it
should be this: During 1912 freedom
survived-becauSe under God 1t de-
served not to die.
