In loving memory of
JOHN A. REEVES
My lips cannot tell how l miss
him,
My heart cannot tell what to
say.
God alone knows how miss him
In a home that is lonesome
to-day.
I think of him in silence,
No eye can see me weep,
But many silent tears are shed,
When others are asleep.
A bitter grief, a shock severe,
To part with him I loved so
dear.
My loss is great, I'll not COM
plain
But know in Christ we'll meet
again.

Retail Beef Prices
To Be Cut June Is

The Office of Price Administration
of 10 per cent or about three cents
a pound at retail, goes into effect
June 81 on all meat except cured and
processed pork, for which the effec-
tive date will be July 5.
This average of three cents-a-
pound reduction, OPA officials said
will be part of the "hold-the-line''
executive order. The reductions will
be little less than three cents on
some of the cheaper cuts, but more
than three cents on the more expen-
sive ones.
AS in the case with butter, the
meat price reduction is being made
without imposing its effects on the
farm producer, the OPA said. A
subsidy, with payments to slaughter
ers to compensate for the reduction
will be based upon the live weight
of the livestock slaughtered. These
payments will be equivalent to ap-
proximately two cents per pound on
dressed carcasses
Payments of the subsidies will be
made by the Defense Supplies cor
poration, subsidiary of the Recon
struction Finance corporation. Any
slaughterer who slaughters 1900
pounds or more, live weight, month
in any one establishment will be elig-
ible to participate.

Search For Scrap
Metals Continue
In County Drives
June "a Deadline for Cur
rent Campaign; to Give
Awards.

Setting midsummer day, June "a,
as the date for completion of the
countrywide scrap metal drive, A. E.
Gustafson, committee chairman, asks
that every property owner look his
home, farm or place of business over
thoroughly before that time to gather
the needed materials.
The Askov community has already
held a special drive and Pine City
has organized for an all-out effort
on June "a. The county committees
express the hope that all other
county communities, organizations
and individuals will get back of the
drive and help put Pine county on
top June "a.
To Distribute Awards.
Mr.. Gustafson also reports receipt
of 240O scrap metal awards which
were sent his office for distribution
to those farm operators who earn
them by reaching their scrap quotas.
The three-colored awards have been
turned over to the Pine county war
board for distribution. In commun-
tiles where drives have already been
completed the county committee has
been instructed to make a check
back and to make the awards where
they are merited.
To aid the drive, war motion pic
lures have been requested from the
state war production board head
quarters and will be shown tonight
at the Pine City Commercial club
meeting, Saturday evening at COM
munity meeting in the Madison hotel
at Sandstone, and at similar meet
ing in the Willow River school Sum-
day evening.
Increased Personnel.
Speaking of committee personnel,
Mr.. Gustafson stated that, although
our general salvage committee COM
mittee has been known to consist of
all town board chairmen, village
mayors, implement dealers, scrap
dealers, elected AAA committeeman,
school superntendents, rural school
teachers and eight other special mem
bers, we have now been requested to
appoint all other town board officials
and all school board members as
members of our general countrywide
salvage committee. We know that
none of the above will fail to do their
part in encouraging and planning
more collections.
Everyone should put in a maxi
mum amount of overtime on the
home front Here is also good
chance for all youth to help again."

International News Review

directly attacked from the south, the
other is hit in its very marrow by
the bombers from the west so as to
put a stop to further enemy war
production. The place to hit that, is
where it's made, and, therefore, the
Allied bombers have been kept busy
day and night destroying all the war
supplies their bombs might find SO
as to prevent them from being used
on Hitler's fronts. The Importance
of going to the very sources them
selves has thus been demonstrated.
The attacks on, and the conquest
of, South Italian islands, and the
are a definite warning of the major
battle about to begin as soon as the
proper moment arrives.
One More Chance.
President Roosevelt has given the
Italian people one more chance to
get out of the war before it is too
late. Churchill time and again has
told the Italians that neither Great
Britain nor the United States despised
them-but that they did consider
their government a world curse So,
Mr.. Roosevelt has reinforced Mr..
Churchills demand that Italy get
rid of its dictatorial government, and
get out of the war as soon as possible.
If the Italians do not heed this
friendly suggestion-Mr. Roosevelt
made it clear-they will have to
suffer the fearful consequences, and
last weeks attacks on the small
islands between Sicily and North
Africa must have given them most
painful foretaste of what is coming
unless they quit
At the present writing there is no
prospect that they are about to quit,
for although the Italians, by and
large, are sick and tired of the war
which has brought them nothing but
disaster and dishonor, they have
above them a ruler who is subject
to the will of man in Berlin: Mus
solini continues to take his orders

Special Term OF
Court Conyenes
For Salary Case
Slot Machine Cases Also
Disposed of by Judge
Stolberg; Six Fined.

In a special term of the district
court which convened June 9, the
case of P. L. Hamlin VS.. the Pine
county board of commissioners, in
volving the new law relating to the

heard by Judge Alfred P. Stolberg.
Action was brought some time ago

the question as to whether or not
the court should issue an injunction
to restrain the commissioners from
adopting and putting the law into
effect. Briefs were to be filed, after
which the court will decide the case.
Hear Slot Machine Cases.
Judge Stolberg also disposed of
six slot machine cases, involving six
residents of the village of Pine City
who operate lunch and beer taverns.
A slot machine was picked up in
each one of these places May Is
by the county sheriff and his depu-
ties, and each offender was charged
with keeping and maintaining gam
bling devices.
Criminal complaints were lodged
against each operator in Justice Wal
ter Blanchard's justice court in Pine
City and they were bound over to
the next general term of the district
court in September. They then peti-
toned the court to have their cases
disposed of at the special term last
week and this was done.
Enter Plea of Guilt.
All defendants entered plea of
guilty and FIVE were fined SITS and
costs and the sixth $500 and costs,
and on failure to pay such fines and
costs, to serve 12O days in the county
Jail. The court also sentenced each
of them to 80 days in the county
Jail, and stayed the execution of that
sentence until the special term of
court on November 10, 1943, at which
time they will be required to report
to the court in person. They were
admonished that in the meantime
they were to be law abiding and of
good behavior, and given until last
Saturday to pay the fines and costs.
George E. Sausen, Pine City attor-
ney, represented all the defendants,
and the state was represented by
County Attorney Albert Johnson.

BY GEORG STRANDVOLD

AS the day of the United Nations
general offensive against Hitler draws
ever closer and closer, attention CEN
ters increasingly on events in south
ern Europe, for it has been under
stood right along that here at least
one base of operations was to be
established.
This explains the violence
with which American and Brit
ish bOmbers, flying out of con-
quered North Africa, bombarded
the small Mediterranean islands
of Pantellaria, Lampedusa and
LinOsa; it required more than
two weeks of constant attack to
Wrest Pantellaria from the Ital-
ians, but less than "a hours to
conquer the other islands.
Tiny as they are, they mean a
great deal strategically, for they are
considered Mussolini's last outposts
in that part of the open sea. Now,
he has been driven from them, and
the way to Sicily, Sardinia and Italy
proper is clear.
What's Coming.
Experts doubt not that one part
of the United Nations attack will
move up through Italy, and perhaps
through southeastern France into
Germany itself. And lest the Nazis
themselves should misunderstood the
purpose, the American and British
air forces for several days have at
tackled German industrial centers
with such new ferocity that it seems
to have stunned the people of the
country.
Important war-factOry cities
like Dusseldorf, Muenster, BOr-
chum, submarine ports like Kiel
and Bremen, and many others,
have been ShOwered with more
bombs, fired by more planes,
than any other cities anywhere
have ever experienced.
