University Open To
japanese Students

After delay of more than a year,
the University of Minnesota has re-
ceived clearance from the United
States government to admit students
of Japanese ancestry who are Amer
lean citizens and also to accept such
people as university employees as may
apply.
The permission is not general, how
ever, and will apply only to those
who can obtain certification papers
from the Provost Marshal General of
the United States. Forms on which
prospective students or employees may
apply, called a personal security
form, have been deposited at certain
places at the University of Mime
sofa and japanese seeking admission
must make them out and await their
approval by the Provost Marshal
General.
1t was further stated that Japanese
Americans now in residence at Min
nesota, of whom there are few,
must have the personal security form
executed.
University officials were at a loss
when Japanese from the west coast
colleges and high schools first ap-
piled for admission here, as they felt
these people should be given educa-
tional advantages, yet were loath to
make any move that might in any
way endanger the security of the
community. Subsequently the army
went on record as opposing japanese
at Minnesota because of the large
number of secret, war-related re-
search projects going on upon the
campus. This has now been light
ened under the terms described above.
University officials said they do not
expect any large influx of Japanese
students in the immediate future, as
most of those who were seeking ad-
mittance in the autumn of 1912 en-
tered other colleges and universe
ties.

The Wonders Of
An Island Visit

Former Askov residents, Mr..
and Mrs. Axel A. Jensen, now
residing on Orcas Island off the
northwest coast of Washington,
were visited early in November
by Mrs. Mari Stottrup of Askov.
In telling of her trip to that is
land, and to other points of in
terest in the Pacific Northwest
she writes the following inter-
esting letter:
Dear Friends in Askov:
l have spent the early part of No.
vember visiting the Axel Jensen fam
lily on Orcas Island, one of the III
islands of the San Juan group off the
northwest coast of Washington, it be-
ing the largest, and very strange ;r
shape. It would be two islands but
for a narrow strip uniting them al
the ends, enclosing long, narrow
bay, seven miles in length up the
center.
There is a national park close to
Axel's place and trip up to the toy
of the larger of the two mountains
Mount Constitution, and the large
sturdy, gray sandstone tower built
there by CCC boys, enables you to
see many miles in all directions. You
can see Mount Baker on real clear
days and the timber-covered hills,
and the many smaller and larger is
lands, and the ocean-like Puget Sound
waters.
The trees are so green and there
are so many kinds of evergreens as
well as deciduous trees. The latter
were still very green and will not
lose their foliage until there is a hard
frost. There are winter apples that
hang on the trees all winter if the
frost is not too heavy. Only a severe
northeaster makes people shiver and
build a good fire in the furnace. A
cook stove and a fireplace keeps the
houses comfortable
From the summit we could see
mountain lakes below us, one of which
furnishes water for this little harbor
village, East Sound, besides others,
one of which is frozen over and gives
the young folks chance to 60 skat-
ing once in "blue moon.
Axel had told about the pesky deer
which have eaten up their foodstuff
and broken down their fruit trees

Free Red Points
Planned To Spur
Fat collections
New Program Effective
Monday; Cash Price Re-
mains at Same Level.

Effective Monday of this week two
red ration points will be given free
for each pound of used kitchen fats
turned in by the nations housewives,
according to Chester Bowles, admin
istrator of the OPA.
The fats will be collected as in the
past. They may be kept in any kind
of can, and taken to the nearest
butcher when full. He will estimate
the weight of the tin and give the
housewife four cents in cash and two
red points for every pound of used
fat delivered. The government does
not want the fat until the cooking
good has been utilized but when that
is done every spoonful is wanted
Gives Explanation.
Mr.. Bowles gives the following ex-
planation as to why the free RED
points are being given:
WARS are fought with gunpow-
der. Gunpowder is made from gly-
cerine. Glycerine can only be made
from fats.
Behind those few words lies one
of your country's most serious needs
Fats used to be imported in huge
quantities from islands of the Far
East. Those islands are now in en-
emy hands. And the government
wants the used fats you can save in
your kitchen to make mountains of
ammunition, medicines and other
battlefield needs.
"Not a Premium on Patriotism"
"These are the facts as they have
been pointed out to OPA by the War
Food Administration. They have led
to this new plan: Two red ration
points free when you turn in pound
of used fat to your butcher
"This is not a premium on patriot
ism. 1t is way of bringing home TO
all women the urgent need of kitchen
fats to make gunpowder. Moreover
it seems only just to return points
for this service, because fats cost
ration stamps. Your butcher has been
informed of this ruling which went
into effect on December 18TH"
It does not matter whether the fat
is burned or black - it still makes
the crystal clear glycerine so vital
ly needed. 1t does not matter whether
it is pan drippings, fat from a soup,
used shortening, cooking oils, OF
melted solid fat. Every drop is pre-
cious Just one single tablespoon of
fat will make five machine gun bull
lets or provide enough smallpox vac
cines for 73 men. Every spoonful of
used fat is wanted and needed in
the war effort.

Rubber Footwear

Mems arctics and canvas rubber
soled shoes will soon be available,
said northwest WPB officials this
week.
Manufacture of the rubber foot
wear, which was formerly prohibited,
is evidence of the nations expand

new canvas rubber-soled shoes will
be manufactured after January /,

More Caution In
Traffic
Sought By Chief
Needless Sorrow Result of
Carelessness N alto n a |
Safety Council Asserts.

A plea for more caution during the
Christmas season to cut down the ac-
cident toll that usually scars during
the holiday weeks was made this
week by Minnesota's highway patrol
chief, Eden Rowe. Pointing out that
in the past five years December traf-
fic fatalities in this state have aver
aged So, while the average for all
other months has been At, Mr.. Rowe
asks motorists and pedestrians alike
to redouble their efforts to make sure
that their Christmas will not be
marred by an accident.
Keep Speed Reasonable.
Don't forget your usual caution
during the holiday season." Mr.. Rowe
said. "Observe reasonable speed
limits. Watch for icy and slippery
spots and regulate your speed ac-
cordingly. Keep on the alert for
pedestrians. Don't overdrive your
headlights drive at such speed
that you can always stop in the space
you can see ahead. When you cele-
brate, remember that drinking and
driving don't mix.
pedestrians should do their part.
Look both ways before crossing
streets or highways, and don't cross
unless you are sure you can cross in
safety. Wear light clothing or carry
something white to make yourself
visible. Don't walk on streets or high
ways unless absolutely necessary, and
then walk only on the left side"
Needless Sorrow.
A warning against holiday acci-
dents was also issued by the National
Safety Council. Each year America
piles up an accident toll at Christmas
time that destroys peace and security
and brings needless sorrow to thous-
ands of homes" said the statement.
"This year, of all years, the nation
cannot tolerate the tragedy of such
a toll, nor afford the waste of man.
power, time and material it repre-
sents. An accident on the home front
hurts the boys on the battlefront
and at this time of the year amounts
to a Christmas present to the enemy.
Don't give the Axis a Christmas
gift"
Traffic fatalities in the United
States were 100000 in 1941. Dropping
to 28,200 in 1912 and $1,000 in the
first nine months of 1943, traffic
fatalities still far exceed the $3.50
American soldiers, sailors and ma
rines killed in action from Pearl
Harbor to November Is, 1943. isn't
it tragically ironic to destroy through
carelessness on the home front the
very things our boys are fighting for
on the battle 'front.'" asks the Safety
Council

DIR. E. A. Meyerding Lists
Precautions To AvOid d
Disease.

Inc flu epidemic winch has been
making the rounds here the past sew
eral days is nationwide in scope and
not local condition, according to
medical authorities, and while many
have been afflicted the disease is of
mild nature as compared to the
deadly Spanish influenza of the first
World war.
In number of Minnesota schools
attendance has been cut sharply in
recent weeks because of the flu but
the schools as a rule have remained
open. Other community activities
have been continued.
Keep Up Health Resistance.
DR.. E. A. Meyerding, executive Sec
retary of the Minnesota Public Health
Association, states that the best way
to avoid illness is to keep up health
resistance, and lists the following
precautions:
Keep away from crowds if posi-
BILE. Take walk every day when
there is sunshine. Get at least 10
hours sleep every night. Include pure
milk and eggs in the diet. Use plenty
of hot water and soap as cleansing
agents. Do not use alcohol as pro-
tective agent as this can not reach
flu virus in the lungs"
DR.. Meyerding further added, eff
you get the flu, stay home, go to bed,
call the doctor and follow his ad-
vice."

Financial Assistance.

Financial assistance is given through
loans without interest, or by grants
where the need exists. In addition,
the office will advise on dependents
allotments, insurance, or matters re-
sulting from the soldiers death.
Assistance is offered to soldiers,
or recently discharged soldiers, and
their dependents, including depend
ents of deceased soldiers. The as
sistance granted soldier or his de-
pendent puts no stigma upon the
soldier but is offered on the basis
that "the army takes care of its
own"
Applications for assistance by those
in need in this area should be directed
to the Duluth Section office at 208
