The Presidents Birthday ball Sat-
urday evening at the D. B. S. hall,
sponsored by the various coopera-
tive organizations in the community,
turned out to be grand success.
one of the best in the county. The

old time basket social which started
with a bang when the first basket
sold by Auctioneer Erling Christen-
sen brought over So and all the rest
followed suit, a few going up to
over So.
The evening started off with a As
minute program to which admission
was free. The lucky number on the
floor lamp was held by Dale Clausen,
son of Mr.. and Mrs. Werner Clausen,
the clock went to Sigurd Lunde and

The music for the dance, the hall rent
and advertising, approximately $50 in
all, was paid for by the Askov Cream
cry Association, Pine Coop Oil As
ISOLATION, Askov Cooperative Asso-

For some time the government has
been asking for hunting knives from
individuals as the supply on hand is
not sufficient to equip the armed
forces. The average individual con-
siders it too much bother to pack up
and ship such knife. To overcome
this situation Mrs. George Lindegaard
has offered to serve as a collection
agent here, and effect proper and
quick shipment. So, if you have such
a knife that you wish to throw into
the battle then leave it either with
her or Mr.. Lindegaard.
