Three Resign From
Price Panel Board

M. L. Swanson, G. E. Sausen and
Everett L. Birkland, members Of the
recently organized Pine County Price
Panel last week rendered their resig-
nation from that body because OF
"lack of cooperation"
AS an explanation of their action,
the following letter of resignation
was submitted to the Pine County
War Price and Rationing board:
"We hereby submit our resigna-
ton as members of the Pine County
Price Panel effective September %,
1943. We feel as if the time spent
at the meetings are a waste of time
and of no benefit to the public and
businessmen because of the lack of
cooperation from the district office.
''We have tried to organize Pine
county and have asked the coopera-
ton of the district office in Duluth
to no avail. We have received prom
ises which never were kept. We have
asked for information for local busi-
ness houses and have never received
an answer.
eve are rendering our resignation
with the hope that it may enable our
successors to receive better coopera-
ton in the future and thus Pine
county will receive the benefit Of the
price control program"

Must Comply With
New License Ruling

Minnesota motorists who had birth
days in September and neglected to
renew their, drivers licenses, are now
without the right to drive and are
subject to arrest and fine if they
drive a motor vehicle on a public
street or highway, according to a
highway bulletin this week.
Highway department officials state
that the renewal applications tina:
have come in so far indicate that a
good many of the motorists who had
birthdays in September neglected to
renew their licenses and therefore
forfeited their right to drive. The
privilege of operating motor vehicles
on public roads can be regained only
after a new drivers license has been
issued. 81
Applications in Pine county may
be made to William Mista, clerk Of
court, at Pine City, or any authorized
agent, or to the Department of High
ways, st. Paul. :.

International News Review

It cannot, of course, be known to
what extent the centers of German
war production are damaged or de-
stroyed, but it stands to reason that
where tons of the worlds deadliest
explosives are showered on cities and
factories, the result must be disas-
trous. And if the bombings are kept
up without too many Interruptions,
there will be neither time nor op-
portunity for the Nazis to repair
Retreat in Russia
AS important as anything else is
the pressure on Germany from the
east.
According to all bulletins, the
Nazis are in full retreat in most
of the sectors of the Russian
front.
After having suffered one of their
worst defeats when the Russians re-
captured Smolensk, the Nazis are now
being driven relentlessly away from
some of their strongest positions i'm
the region around Kiev, Gomel and
Vitebsk.
Judging from uncontradicteds
reports the Russians never suf-
fer one single setback; they
simply surge ahead all the time.
and the enemy has no chance to-
do much stopping and looking
around.
The retreat may not yet be char
acterized as a wild and disorderly
flight, and it is possible that the
Nazi high command still hopes to-
be able to establish a winter front
provided the Soviets will not pre-
vent it. And they are likely to do
their darndest for that very purpose
Hitler's Russian adventure, Begin
ing in June, 1941, with such tire
mendous flourish, now seems to be
petering out. Whether he will be
able to start a new counter-offensive
will depend on his ability to send re-
Inducements to Russia, and there
have been rumors that transfers To
that front have taken place from
Norway and other countries. But ft
will require vast numbers of fresh
troops to stem the Russian tide.

The ram sale and exchange day
held at Sandstone early last week
proved to be very successful event
with buyers coming in from all parts
of Pine county About 35 purebred
and grade rams of the Shropshire
and Hampshire breeds were sold or
exchanged.
Several head of fine purebred
Shropshires were exhibited by Roger

and Jerome Peters of Pine City. Har-
ry Cross of Brook Park had some fine
registered Hampshire rams. Oscar
Oaklund of near Friesland exhibited
his excellent flock ram purchased last
year from Gluek's Farm, and also
sold some young rams sired by this
outstanding animal.
Purchase Good Rams.
Many Pine county farmers took
advantage of the sale to purchase
some good rams to head their flocks
Indications are that next years lamb
crop on these farms will show the
result of better breeding with heavier
fleeces and better gains. 1t has been
suggested that sheep raisers in the
county organize a sheepmen's asso-
citation to promote activities such ;,s
