job. This surplus stock will consist
of trucks, automobiles, tractors, road
grading machinery, clothing, shoes,
blankets, and countless other items.
My readers can readily grasp the
possibilities for harm that are
wrapped up in the disposal of these
vast stores. Weeks ago began work
on drafting a bill that would govern
the disposal of war surpluses but it
is really a bigger job than l antici-
pated as there are so many angles 10
it. All are agreed that we must avoid
the scandals and favoritism that
marked the disposal of surplus war
property after World War l. Then,
too, the disposition of this property
must be made in such manner as
to not disrupt the economy at home.
For instance it is my thought that
trucks, tractors, bulldozers, road
graders and the like should 60 to
state highway commissions, counties
and townships for road maintenance.
Veterans of this and other wars
should be given preference in the dis
posal of automobiles and whatever
they can use. All wearing apparel,
blankets, and food should be used for
relief purposes in the war-stricken
countries. To bring all this material
back and dump it on the home market
would precipitate a depression such
as we have never before known, hence
the Importance of disposing of all
surpluses in a manner that will take
into account our economy rather than
cost of material.

On the occasion of the launching of
the United Nations Relief and Re-
habilitation Administration early last
week, President Roosevelt disclosed
his plan to keep American troops
overseas after the war is over until
normal conditions have been restored
in the various parts of the globe. Said
he, "When victory comes there can
certainly be no secure peace until
there is return of law and order
in the oppressed countries, until the
peoples of these countries have been
restored to a normal, healthy, self
sustaining existence. This MEANS" he
said, ''that the more quickly and eff
fectively we apply measures of re-
lief and rehabilitation, the more

Lingle-Swenson
Vows Exchanged

Wedding vows were solemnized at
the Lutheran parsonage at Moose
Lake by Rev. Oscar L. Olson Satur-
day afternoon, November 6 at 3
o'clock, when Miss Ruth Lingle,
daughter of George Lingle of Beaver,
became the bride of Mr.. Harold Sven
son, only son of Mrs. Jennie Swenson
of Sturgeon Lake. The couple was
attended by Miss Dorothy Lingle,
sister of the bride, and Alfred Delly,
friend and neighbor of the groom.
Adolph Shoberg gave a o'clock
wedding dinner for the newlyweds
and their attendants and the follow
ing guests: George Lingle, Helen and
Allen; Mrs. Jennie Swenson, Mr.. and
Mrs Arnvald Bake and family, and
the Clock and Telkima families from
near Beaver.
The newlyweds are now at home
on the Swenson farm and their
friends extend best wishes to them for
a long and happy married life.

AskOv PIT. A. Notes

PIT. A. time again! Our third
meeting and we have had only eight
weeks of school! Well, perhaps this
way we teachers will get to know
you parents nearly as well as we
do our pupils.
This year the programs are mostly
being planned by committees of par
ents, who for this evenings meet
ing are as follows: Mr.. and Mrs. L.
Byron Olsen, Mr.. and Mrs. Sigurd
Lunde, Mr. and Mrs. Clifford Krantz,
Mr.. and Mrs. Jerry Sostak.
A girls tumbling act, reading,
a peace-policy QUESTIONABLE and a
film strip are some of the numbers
planned. We will just have to be
present to find out what else is in
store for us.
Seven hot lunches have been
served to date and the children seem
to be we'll pleased with the food,
thanks to Mrs. Fred Olesen. Perhaps
the committee will have some subse-
quent reports or ideas to present for
action. 1t seems, too, that the dish
towel situation at school is rapidly
becoming critical. A donation of one
towel per family would be greatly
appreciated. Bring it to meeting with
you, or send it to school with your
child.

NEGROES MOST CARELESS WITH

Negroes are m s careless with
their Social Security account number

About five times as many Colored
people as White apply for duplicate

"This carelessness is increasing. for
in September we issued Psi duplicates

An excited woman stalked into
the dry goods store and threw a
faded apron upon the counter.
Look at this!" she cried. "Just
look at this"
II am looking at it," said the

"What about it?'
'What about it?" shouted the
woman, "what about it? Why
when you sold me that apron you
said that its color was fast. And
what happened? Why the color

The girl looked at the woman in

contests with Messerschmitts and

The Grammar Wildcat or F4F,
navy fighter, with Pratt & Whitney

with folding wings for compact stow

many high scores in Mediterranean.
Although the FAT will continue to

fighter family is described by the
navy as ian answer to the prayers

Q's And AS On Tax Declaration

WASHINGTON. Dec. 2 LR -
The Treasury tonight issued this
Observation-Disclosures guide to ex-
plain the December Is date for
filing income tax declarations:
@. What kind of filing is to be
made December Is?
A. Declarations of Estimated
Income and Victory Tax, estimat-
ing how much tax certain per-
sons will owe on their 1913 in
come in excess of payments al
ready made or withheld from
wages or salary during the year.
@. Wasn't that done September
Is?
A. Yes. Nearly 100000 tax
payers filed declarations Septem-
Der 10. The only persons who have
to file now are those who did not
file then but are required to do
sc by December Is either be-
cause, in the case of farmers, they
had an automatic postponement,
OR because they did not then ex-
pect enough income to require
filing but now anticipate higher
incomes which do require filing.
Also, any persons who filed in
September and underestimate the
tax-by 20 per cent if non-farrn-
ers or 80 1-3 per cent if farmers
should file amended declarations
to avoid penalties.
Q. What is an amended declara-
ton?
A. It is, in reality, a substitute
declaration. 1t is filed on SINH
lar form and is distinguished only
by writing the word amended"
