Fear that too many workers
who left farms in recent years
will not want to 60 back to
rural areas was voiced today by
Senator Radcliffe. Democrat, of
Maryland as the Senate Banking
Committee continued its study of
plans for avoiding postwar de-
pressions.
The Maryland Senator expressed
concern over this possibility during
testimony of Miss Loula Dunn, pres
ident of the American Public We'll
fare Association, who advocated ad-
vance planning to keep persons
gainfully employed, as preferable to
making work for them after de-
preston sets in.
Senator Radcliffe said there has
been trend away from farming
areas for years, and that he was
disturbed by the thought that an
insufficient number to meet the
manpower needs Of rural areas
would want to go back.
Would Encourage Return.
Miss Dunn said many will go
back. but warned there are some
rural areas where the fertility OF
the soil is not adequate now to
sustain the farmers who once lived
there, and in such localities all
should not go back, unless some
means of augmenting farming ac-
tivity Is coupled with the migra-
ton.
Senator Radcliffe explained he
was not attempting to say how
many should go back, but to point
out that there is need for workers
in rural areas. Then he added:

.Quis|ing Told
Of Trial Time

OSLO, Norway, July 14.-In his
cell at 10 Moellergatan = the
prison which he and his German
masters had made infamous dur
ing five years of mistreatment of
resistant Norwegian patriots
Vidkun Abraham Quisling learned
that he will face the verdict of
his countrymen at his trial start
ing early this month.
BY dramatic coincidence the
trial announcement and particu-
lars of the long list of crimes for
which Quisling has now been for
mally indicted were made public
on the same day as capital pun
ishment was imposed in Norway
for the first time in more than so
years.
The event also conceded with
the opening of the first jury trial
of a Norwegian traitor, one of
Quisling's own henchmen, the
front fighter and Policeman Rel
dar Haaland.
The formal indictments against
Quisling, announced by Public
Prosecutor Annaeus Schoedt, COW
er the arbitrator activities
from April 9, 1910, to the day Of
the German capitulation. The
charges range from treason and
murder to common thievery, under
both the Norwegian military and
civil law.
The treason charges include &C
cusations that he plotted the at
tack on Norway with Hitler and
undermined Norwegian defenses
during the fighting in the spring
of 1940 In addition he is accused
under old Norwegian civil statute
of having attempted to place Nor
way under the domination of a
foreign power.
The murder charges name 10
victims of political executions for
which he is held responsible and
on account of which he has been
charged with common theft and
misrepresentation of the property
of the Norwegian state and OF
private individuals whose belong
ings were seized by the Nazi po-
lice.

To know David Dahlin of Alder
wood Manor is to know an excep-

tied to his being the best grocery
man in his community and the cof-
fee selling champion of the Pacific
Coast as described in the follow

Operates in Town of 800
David Dahlin, winner of the $50
U. S. War Bond and Red & White
coffee sales champion of the west
ern division, is a charter Red &
White member, having been affili-
ated with the Red & White Seattle
unit for sixteen years. He oper-
ates store at Alderwood Manor,
Wash, village of about 300 popu-
laton located Is miles north of
Seattle, Wash.
Dave enjoys a substantial bust
ness. He has host of friends and
customers who entered into the
spirit of the Red & White Coffee
Contest with great enthusiasm.
THE enthusiasm with which Da-
vid Dahlin entered the contest re-
suited in his becoming western
divisional sales champion. Eleven
dollars out of every 500 that was
rung up on the cash register dur
ing November and December 1914,
was for the sales of Red & White
Coffee"
David Dahlin is also known as
the man with smile and a good
wish for everybody. His hobby is
flowers. and he has nothing but
the best of them. He does not raise
his flowers for profit, his only wish
is to make life beautiful for others.
We will let Dave himself tell about
his hobby:
The flowers I like best are
glads, dahlias, roses, iris and lilies.
I have about 100 named dahlias, 80
different named gladiola, of which

the best are Miss New Zealand,
Shirley Temple and Greta Carlo.
I have been starting 1900 lily
bulbs every season, and have been
awarded blue ribbons whenever I
have had my flowers on exhibition.
On several occasions I have won
the sweepstakes, the highest award
given. AS to the soil-it is not easy
to make good garden soil out of
hard-pan, but when you love this
sort of thing, work is really a
pleasure.
The store and the flowers, how
ever, is not enough to occupy all
of Dawes time. He is also an active
member of the Svea Male Choir in
Seattle, and he appears regularly
at all rehearsals. His voice is much
appreciated both in the chorus and
in solos, and he finds time to do
some singing in his own commu-
nifty. too.
Mrs. Dahlin is a graduate of the
University of Washington and a
former teacher of art subjects in
Seattle high schools. She has lived
in China and Japan. and was en-
gagged as a designer for the Fette
Rug Company in Picking, where
she also studied art under Mr..
Wang, a Chinese art professor at
Using Hoa College. She is an &C.
complished pianist which, of course
is great help to her husband, and
makes for pleasant hours in their
home. They have one son, Carl
David, who soon is to become a
member of the armed forces.
The picture printed in connec-
ton with this story does not show
the many beautiful flowers now in
bloom around the Dahlin residence
They are a pleasure that awaits
you when you pay a visit. But the
picture does show the best two OF
all the flowers Mr.. and Mrs. Da-
