Pensacola, Fla., April 22, »6
We are always grateful to the editor
of the Clifton Record for keeping
columns open for church news and an-
nouncements.
I want to, in this way, thank Rev.
B. R. Maakestad and the St. Olaf
congregation for all kindness and hos-
pitality to me during my recent visit
with many of you.
It, was like coming to a home com-
munity. When I entered into your
homes I felt like saying to myself:
is only a few months since I was here.
Everything looked so familiar to me.
It is seven and one half years ago
since we moved north.
I appreciated the formal invitation

More Good News
Some favorable developments
come about in the agricultural
power problem. Farmers are moving
from factory towns back to the soil
pected numbers, and the Presi-
dent has indicated his approval of
lifting limitations on the manufacture
of farm machinery and repair parts,
steps urged by farm leaders, but taken
too late to be 100 per cent effective
this year. The OWI estimates a 6 per
cent decrease in production from 1942,
probably a conservative estimate.
Immediately following his confer-
ence with farm leaders, President
Roosevelt issued a statement reveal-
ing that a shortage of 50,000 dairy
workers could be met by releasing men
of 30 or older from the Army, use of
conscientious objectors, 4-F regis-
trants, etc.
The Eighth Grade is happy to an-
nounce that Senator Earl L. Lovelady
has been secured aa speaker for the
Elementary School Commencement
Exercises to be held May 19, in the
High School Auditorium at 9:00 p.m.
Gwendolyn Dahl is the Class’ vale-
dictorian and Jean Anderson is the
Salutatorian.
Senior News
Class honors have been named. Miss
Geraldine Rohne will be valedictorian,
and Miss Martha Reesing will give
the salutatory.

It was lots of fun to eat candy during
classes, and chew our gum. We didn’t
know our feet were so tender (or the
rocks so hard) until we went barefoot.
The seniors regret to lose their
classmate, Vernon Rogstad, who was
inducted in the Navy. We wish you
lots of luck, Vernon!
Sixth and Seventh Grade News
The seventh grade is going to put
■>n a puppet show. Claude Ellingson,
N. W. Rudd and Oliver Jenson have
fixed the stage. We haven’t made the
puppets yet.
The seventh grade organized a club.
Oliver Jenson is President and Alice
Betty Ludwig is Secretary.
We are submitting two poems
written by two members’ of the
seventh grade.
MY VICTORY GARDEN
My victory garden is my pride;
There are good things to eat from
side to side;
All the vegetables are nutritious,
And what’s more, they are delicious.
Previously I have mentioned to you
my interest in the aged citizens of
our state. Few of us have given
enough serious consideration to the
problems of these grand citizens of
Texas during this time of war. The
increased cost of living and daily ne-
cessities of everyone regardless of
their age has been increased. There
is an urgnt need that all additional
funds possible be added to the monthly
payments for those in declining years.
House Bill 9 was passed in the Sen-
ate last week and sent to the House
for further consideration, and if it
passes there Will be available $1,900,-
000 per month for Old Age Assistance
to be matched by federal funds. This
will make $3,800,000 monthly for this
purpose.
When the bill came up for consider-
ation, I was endeavoring to secure
$2,000,000 a month, state funds*, but
with a close vote, I saw this was going
to be greatly reduced. With a deter-
mination to keep our funds as high
as possible when every effort was
being made to reduce the funds that

It’s a patriotic thing to have,

Congress Alert
At the end of its first three month’s
work, the 78th Congress could be said
to have kept its promise to recapture
its rightful independence and handle
its share in government. This is im-
perative for the future of democracy.
The House Appropriations Committee,
bent on economy, recently recom-
mended pruning 240 million dollars
off the Department of Agriculture’s
budget for the next fiscal year and
proposed abolishing the Farm Securi-
ty Administration. This bureau’s 417,-
660 clients already owe Uncle Sam
$417,000,000.
There are however too many threats
to the American way of life to justify
any measure of complacency. We
could win over the axis powers and
still lose all we are fighting for. Do-
mestic problems are still perplexing,
but it is pleasant to report this parti-
cular hopeful turn of events on the
home front.

I’ll take it to the store.

MY VICTORY GARDEN

Second and Third Grades
We are glad to have Truman Blum
back in school after being absent with
the mumps.
The Easter Egg hunt was enjoyed
by all.
Those making a 100 in spelling in
the third grade this week are: Betty
Helm, Billy Bob Scott, Doris Swenson,
Ralph Tindall, and Irelen Worrell; in

feat a substitute amendment to the
bill, and succeed in securing adoption
of another amendment to the bill,
raising the appropriation.
It is with genuine pleasure that
am able to report that the Old Age
Assistance will have $1,900,000 of
state funds, plus an equal amount of
federal 'funds a month, if the House
will approve the bill as amended
through my efforts in the Senate.
Should the House, for any reason
fail to approve this appropriatin,
then it must go to a conference com
mittee composed of both House mem-
bers and Senators. This will mean ad-
ditional work, but I will be found
fighting this battle to the end. There
are only a few days remaining before
sine die adjournment on May 11, and
until that hour, every effort humanly
possible for me to make will be made
in seeing to it that our aged citizens
get just and fair treatment.
I personally feel that we have done
a good job for the aged, when we take
into account the reduction in tax re-
ceipts, and the big reduction necessary
to be made in all state governmental
agencies.
Rev. and Mrs. W. T. Gigstad. Thank
you!
My visit with Rev. and Mrs. Oben-
haus was, as you all know, the same
as when good old friends meet.
Thank you for that nice visit.
It was a real treat to be present at
the morning devotion in the chapel of
Clifton College.
There were present some of my old
friends, the president of the college,
Prof. C. Tyssen, Prof. Elif Moore,
Mrs. Pierson. The two first mentioned
were teachers at the college all the
15 years I served St. Olaf as pastor.
Thank all of you people whom
met during iny visit for your kindness
and cordiality!
I bid you, all farewell. The good
Lord bless you all.
Friends in Christ, our Lord, do
never meet for the last time.
I will be home in Minneapolis, Minn,
the latter port of May.
Sincerely yours,

WASHINGTON, April 26.—The
Navy, Marine Corps and Coast Guard
are going to increase their inductions
of Negroes, War Manpower Commis-
sioner Paul V. McNutt told a press
conference Monday.
He added that he had worked out
a schedule which would guarantee that
the proportion of Negroes in the sea
services eventually would be the same
as their proportion of the national
population—about ten per cent.
The Army, McNutt said, has been
inducting Negroes at this rate right
along. He would not say when the
sea services would begin taking Ne-
groes in higher proportion.
days wrok done because I am way up
in years as you all know. Now my
visit is over and I enjoyed it. Again
I want to thank Rev. and Mrs. Maake-
stad for all hospitality and kindness,
and consideration.
It would have taken too long a time
to have visited every home. I visited
a good many during the time I could
spend among you. Those among you
whom I did not visit will, perhaps,
hear from me later. It was nice
meet you all in Church, Sunday
*School and ladies societies. May the
good Lord bless the St. Olaf Church,
its pastor and all its activities.
I want to thank the neighbor
churches and their pastors for the
blessed time spent with them. I be-
came well acquainted with the people
in the Norse community and our
people in Clifton and surrounding
country while I served St. Olaf. Rev.
and Mr3. P. E. Thorson invited me as
guest in their home and the pastor in-
vited me to preach in the Church one
Sunday morning and go with them to
the Harmony ladies society at their
40th anniversary. Thank you all!
Such cordial reception among the
Lutheran people of the N. L. C.
