Currie Appointed To
County Draft Board

Clarence Currie, Hinckley, has
been appointed by Governor Stassen
to fill the vacancy on the Pine County
Selective Service board left by the
resignation of Mark E. Robey of
Sandstone. Mr.. Robey was forced
to give up his place on the board
because of i'll health, after having
served faithfully since it's inception
in October, 1910.
Mr.. Currie, a veteran of World
War l, operates a large farm east
of Hinckley, and his appointment to
the board should be popular choice
Charles Olson of Sturgeon Lake has
been chosen as chairman of the board
and John Lindgren of Rock Greek
will continue as secretary.
The local board requests that reg
istrants or other interested persons
refrain from contracting the indi-
vidual board members as much as
possible regarding their selective
service problems. These members
do not have the time to give per-
sonal interviews and it is also diff
ficult for them to answer inquiries
when they do not have access to
the files. The local board meets on
Thursday of each week and all in
terviews must be by appointment.

Reception in Church.
BY GEORG STRANDVOLD

For a long time it has been source
of wonderment that the British
Royal Air Force kept on, repeatedly
to bomb the Krupp munitions works
at Essen, but never-with perhaps
one or two minor exeeptions-the
huge Skoda works in Czecho-Slo-
vakia, surely, too, source of Nazi
arms.
But few days ago the r. A. F.
gave clear evidence that Skoda
had by no means been forgotten,
for six hundred bonn bers
swooped down on the town of
Pilsen where the plant is stu
ated, and there Is every reason
to believe that damage was en0r-
nous. But the British paid
high price for whatever they
achieved: Out of six hundred
planes, fifty five were lost.
This, incidentally, explodes the
myth that the Nazi anti-aircraft has
weakened appreciably; in spite OF
the fact that bombings of cities in
England has practically ceased, there
seems to be plenty of strength in
Hitler's air force.
Other terrific air attacks have been
directed against German cities dur
ing the last few days, the bombs
playing the mournful and bloody
overture to the invasion of Hitler
held Europe-by infantry and artil-
lery, later on.
Tunisian War.
That invasion, we have been re-
peatedly assured, will begin in earn
est and in full when the Axis forces
have been driven out of North Afri-
ca, and prospects here look more
hopeful than ever despite the ap-
parent fact that Hitler has been able,
again, to reinforce his armies-under
command of Rommel and Arnim
to such an extent that they are now

Scrap Survey OF
Northwest Farms
Being Conducted
Spring Quota for State Set
at 400, 900 Tons; Drive
to End July /.

Launching a spring drive for scrap
steel and iron a farm-by-farm sur
vey of available material is being
started this week in Minnesota, North
and South Dakota as the first step
in the 1913 program to supply the
badly-needed scrap to mills manu-
featuring war materials.
A. E. Gustafson, chairman of the
Pine county salvage committee, states
that the Minnesota quota is 466, 1000
tons by July l, and the county share
1900 tons, the same as in last falls
drive. This Minnesota quota will
supply the American war production
needs for only about one week. Over
100000 tons of scrap metals are
needed and used each month in the
steel plants. Scrap supplies on hand
at various production centers are
now down to three to thirty days
supply.
To Aid in Collection Work.
To conduct the farm survey local
committees have been set up in the
three-state region and will later
work with the farmers in solving any
collection, manpower or tranSporta-
ton problems that may arise. The
check-up is expected to reveal the
amount of available scrap on every
farm; to determine how much scrap
the farmer will be able to move to
the collection centers, and to find out
what particular problems of labor
and trucking must be assumed by
the local committees.
The scrap piles of the nation must
be rebuilt, Mr.. Gustafson said, and
the scrap metals kept moving, or
the whole war effort will be in
danger. Fifty to 80 per cent of the
materials needed and used in making
good steel by the fast open hearth
method is scrap iron. 1t would take
three or four years of delay to build
enough blast furnaces to use raw ore
only.
To Again Cooperate.
Paying tribute to those in this
area who have aided in past scrap
drives, Mr.. Gustafson asserted that
.'our Pine county AAA men and the
War Production board have done an
excellent job in helping to keep the
scrap metals moving in the past, and
they are ready and willing to help
again in this scrap campaign. Con-
tact them and cooperate with them.
Their efforts last fall were mainly
responsible for Pine county going
over the top and earning seven
teenth place among all Minnesota
counties.
1.-THE farm machinery dealers in
Pine county have also been one of
the main stand-bys in helping to keep
the scrap metals in circulation. They
will again cooperate in every way
possible.
Revive Scrap Piles.
THE schools cannot be expected
to do so much this spring as they
did last fall" he added, "but we
hope for their assistance too. Every
local scrap committee should meet
and work out some plans. Every
school and community scrap pile
should be revived and be given new

Blind Mans Baseball Has
Cables to Guide Players

A baseball game played by the
blind has only five men on a team
pitcher, catcher and three base
men-and the "ball" is a three
inch metal ring strung on waist
high cable running from the catch
er's box almost to second base,
according to Golfers. When the
batter strikes the pitcher ring, the
basemen, standing in line behind
the pitcher, try to grab and shoot
1t back to the catcher.
For instance, if the ring passes
the first baseman and the second
baseman catches it and returns
it to the plate before the runner
reaches second, one base-hit is
made. A home run is scored when
all three basemen miss it.
The diamond is also enclosed by
a cable to guide the players to the
bases, which are run clockwise.
