Boys In the
Write Letters
To "Home Folks"
November 11. 1942
Dear Friends:
Though I have been very slow in
expressing my appreciation for the
weekly present of the paper it is not
because I have not received a full
measure of enjoymen.t out of each
issue as nothing is farther from file
truth.
You probably have received reams
of correspondence from us who are
away for a while saying the same
things I am doing but none say them
more fervently.
I can remember tin4es when I was
more or less angered at the same
paper I want to get now.
For instance the difference in the
placing of the baseball score of any
game between Oolva and Beach in
accordance with who won. We al-
ways won in the lower left-hand cor-
ner of the back page and lost at
the top of the front page (Golva I
mean.)
2nis combination, of course, was
nearly unbearable at the time but it
adds color to a pleasant memory
now reminding one that the rivalry
shown at that time and under those
conditions was the rivalry of a hap-
py people.
It is that same spirit that has and
will make ours the winning combina-
tion. A combination of all the Gol-
v and Beachs in this country fight-
ing a common enemy with the same
fervor that they treed among them-
selves on the sporting fields.
Getting back to the original sub-
jeer though, you can't imagine the
difference there is in reading a pa-
per in the confines of your home and
the confines of a barracks or tent.
What was of no importance to
you at home takes on meaning away
from home and what were Just
names of people before now turn in-
to friendly words that have home
right in them.
For instance it is probably of no
interest to me if some one visits
some one else at Trotters, but the
names are familiar and they are the
same names I have heard at home
so for a minute one can kind of
lapse back to a chair at home and
reed the paper. And of course be-
hind it all then is the thought that
counts, we know that it is not pa-
triotism that sends us this paper but
the friendly thought of someone we
know.
For any of my friends who have
the time and wish to write to me, my
address is:
Cpl. Ralph Jacobs,
Dab No. 13, 905 Q. M. Co.

I'll close thanking you all again,

Dear Editor:
Will you please send the Golden
Vlley News, which I am receiving
thru the courtesy and generosity of
the people 0f that community, to me
at the address given below The pap-
er to Mrs. A. R. Miller should be sent
to 28 Hill Street in Newark, N. J. I
don't know whether or not the army
has Just discovered my background,
but anyway I am now going to school
at Hieksviile which is on Long Is-
land. While attending chool we are
stationed at Mitchell Field. If the
young men throughout the country
could see how Uncle ,Sam is feeding
the boys he is now training for avia-
tion I think most of them would
want to join that branch of the ser-
vice. It pleases me to see all the
young officers among them. They are
the type of boys who will be respon-
sible for making our Air Force su-
perior to those they will meet in
combat. There is no lack of confi-
dence on their part.
Mrs. Miller is working for a ra-
clio company. The great need for
workers is indicated by the fact that
they are paying goo wages while
training their employses for work' in
the factory. There is plenty of work
to be done. War news has been more
encouraging of late, but it is too bad
so many people are beginning to feel
that the housecleaning is almost ov-
er even before our boys have finish-
ed sweeping the door step--as appar-
ently Africa is to be considered as
the door step from which to enter

164 Inf., care of Post Master, San
Francisco, Calif., has written the fol-
lowing letter to Walt Bratton, which
is being published as interesting to
other folks here.
Dear Walt:
Just a few words in appreciation
to all those who made it possible for
men in the service and myself to get
the home town paper.
Any mall we receive telling us of
news in the U. S. helps the men keep
their heads up. So thanks, and the
best of luck to you.
A friend,

Dear Sirs:
I am receiving and enjoying the
Golden Valley News very much and
wish ,to take this means of thanking
the people that are making it possi=
ble for the paper to be sent to me.
It seems mighty nice to get ,the lo-
cal news. There is no news like the
home news.
I am going to the armored force

Dear Sir:
How is everything and everybody
out there? I hope fine. Have been
receiving the News and wish to
thank you very much. I certainly
enjoy reading it and keep looking
forward to receiving the next issue.
Have been doing some traveling
lately, a person sure sees the country
in the army. I have enjoyed my
travels, but the most enjoyable trip
will be the trip home after the war
is over. There is no place like home.
This air base is nearing completion.
The people sure treat us soldiers
swell.
Had a little snow here last weez
but it didn't last long.
I wish to inform you of my change

GOLDEN VALLEY NEWS
Livestock Producers No Danger of
Flour Ratio ning
Sell Your Livestock the Cash WayI Wheat is almost a drug on the
No listing! No waiting! Just
load them up and bring them in
any Friday or Saturday you may
wish to sell them. I will worry as
to whether or not I am going to
have a load or not.
You can see your hogs weighed
and graded while you are here, and
receive cash on n equal basis with
what they will net on any terminal
market that day.
I have figured out the actual cost
and expense and shrink. I buy on
that basis under all terminal mar-
kets each buying date.
My hogs are all shipped under
one name, therefore sorting, grad-
ing and-weighing at the markets
are minimized, which saves rough
handling and shrink.
Shipped hogs must be marked and
listed under several different owners,
t]aerefore at the markets they must
be sorted for owner's brands which
requires rough handling. There are
no mixups, heavy shrinkage, cripples
or loss of hogs under my way of
handling. My loss has been so light
that I have not filed one claim for
a dead hog in two years of shipping,
which enables me to pay higher
prices.
I have my own scale at the Beach
yards for your convenience, also
have built pens enough to accomo-
date two double-deck loads of hogs
under one roof so as to give shelter
in winter and shade in summer.
This also will reduce my shrinkage
loss.
You will find me at the yard
every week on buying dates, the
year around, ready to receive your
livestock, for cash, whether it be
one head or a carload.
My business is strictly operated
by me only and is not controlled by
any firm or corporation.

LOCALS '
Another winter like last year may
be forth coming.
"Silence is Golden" but it doesn't
sell goods.
A tourist dropped into Beach th's
week and made inquiry at one of
the service stations: "Whatdya got
in the shape of automobile tires?"
Answer: "Funeral wreaths, life pre-
servers, invalid cushions and dough-
nuts."
Despite Hitler the Americans who
still have. or who have cultivated,
the taste for lutefisk, can enjoy that
old Scandinavian delicacy again this
year. We' haven't heard of any
nearby lutefisk dinners, but never-
theless dealers report that there is
a good supply available even though
it isn't imported from Norway.
Discontinue my ad in the Golden
Valley News, says Edgar Johnson,
who had been advertising some
sheep for sale. Mr. Johnson says
it sure pays to advertise and that
he could have sold a million sheep if
he could have supplied them from
the number of replies and inquiries
he had from his ad.
Congressman-elect Bill Lemke is
going to see that government beau-
rocracy ceases after January 3,
when he takes his seat in the lower
house of congress. Lemke has an-
nounced that he will be ready to take
up his battle for agriculture, the
small businessman and the laboring
people. We hope that he means the
laboring farmer and not the already
highly organized lber groups.
One of the boys who recently went
down to Fort Shelling, here is the
conversation which ,took place when
the doctor started ask;ng questions:
"How are your bowels?" Walt re-
plied: "They didn't issue me none."
"I mean, are you constipated?" ask-
ed the dec. "'No-, I enlisted," Walt
repl"ed. The dec became exasperat-
ed and said: "What's the matter
with you? Don't you know the
King's English?" "They tell me he
is," replied Walt, "but I ain't sure."
Prices of liquor by the glass may
only be advanced 1 cents says the
price administration office. Vendors
who have raised their prices a nickle
may find themselves in a difficulty.
The cost may only be advanced to
absorb the tax which is 50 cents per
quart on 100 proof liquor, so any
charge above this ratio is a violation
of the price ceilings. The niekle
cigar now sells for 6 cents, some-
times four for a quarterthe four
cents going to the federal govern-
ment, the etra one cent for state
sales tax.
Samuel C. Pandolfo, who became
famous as the head of the Pan Mot-
or Co., at St. Cloud, Minnesota many
years ago, and who has been more
or less in the public eye by the pro-
motion of "get-rich" schemes such
as the "greaseless doughnut," has
again been taken into the custody
of the law. Pandolfo was arrested
at Miles City, Montana recently and
taken back o New Mexico where
he was sentenced to a ten-year sen-
tence in Leavenworth for using the
mails to defraud in promoting one
of his schemes. Pandolfo visited
Beach a few weeks ago and at that
time was traveling under the name
of McFarlen. We do not know what
success he had in th's territory
but he was interested in organizing
a loan company.
market and department of agricul-
ture officials are gett:ng headaches
trying to dope out some plan for
its disposal and storage. There's
no danger of having to ration flour!
The supply of wheat is so large
that farmers in the wheat country
are wondering where to store it.
Washington officials have suggested
that housewives be encouraged to
lay in big suppl'es of flour, but
they were told that flour storage in
homes is not statisfactory, due to
changeable weather conditions. So
there still is no practical solution.
But there should be some way de-
vised to st'ore this immense crop
satisfactorily, because we may need
this surplus some day in the future
if next year's wheat crop is poor. A
flour shortage in time of war would
be a calamity. We can go without
coffee, sugar, tea and many other
items of food, but none of us would
care to go without bread and other
baked foods using flour. Flour is
still the staff of life.
Beach High School
Starts Basket Ball
Twenty eight men answered the
first call for basketball practise Mon-
day evening and it is expected that
there will be a few more coming out
later. To keep in line with the
physioal fitness program of the army
and navy only those who refuse to
train will be cut from the squad.
The boys will be divided into two
groups one under the direction of
Coach Linson. Mr. Fisher will be in
charge of the other group. The first
few weeks of practice will be devoted
almost entirely to conditioning exer-
cises and fundamental drills. Games
with Golva, Wibaux, Sentinel Butte,
and Belfleld have been tentatively
scheduled. Prospects for the coming
season aren't up to the usual par,
with only one returning letterman
from last year. Bruce Miller. Guard
on last year'st team is out for the
same position again this year, but
the rest of the positions look wide
open for any of the candidates out
for practise.
Hospital Notes
On November 18. four perseus
were hospitalized. They include:
Mrs. Burl Figgins, Beach and Rich-
ard Grimes, Sentinel Butte, both of
whom left the next day feeling
much better; Veryl Vincent, Sentinel
Butte. who left November 24; and
Mrs. Emma Musil of Beach.
Tony IBarthel. Golva, came in No-
vember 19. and left the 2]st. Also
hospitalized the 19th was Jon Park-
er, infant son of Mr. and Mrs. Les-
ter Parker, Wibaux. He was taken
home November 24th, a much ira-
proved baby.
John Guyette, St. Paul, Minne-
sota, and Jul'us Anderson, Beach,
were hospitalized November 20. Mr.
Guyette left the 23rd.
Three persons came in November
21. They were: Joe Meyer, Sentinel
Butte, Carl Gonsior, Wibaux, and
Mrs. Ervin Uecke, Beach. The
latter two left November 24.
QUICK SALE OF HOUSEHOLD
GOODS
In order to dispose of thd follow-
ing household articles qu'ckly, I
am offering them at a real bargain:
Gas stove, coal stove, kitchen furni-
ture and utensils; dining room
equipment, chairs, table, china clos,
et, rugs, etc.; complete living room
furniture, including cha'rs, couches
and rug; dresser, bed and rug;
washing mahine; Victrola and radio;
dishes and pans. Mrs. Nora Bart-
ley, Beach.
It is expected that from the gov-
ernment's new tire regulations that
car and truck owners may soon be
able to get some of the new war
tires. The tires while made from
regenerated rubber from the na-
tion's scrap piles, are now being
distributed over the country. The
new tread designs incorporate a de-
velopment Which compresses the
tread rttbber when a "war tire" is
inflated, producing more mileage
per tire and lessening the possibil-
ities of punctures.

FREEZE BUTTER IN STORAGE
=
Forty per cent of the nation's to-
tal butter in storage was frozen
for govermnent purchase last Friday
as a "temporary" measure to in-
sure sufficient suppl'es to meet the
needs of the armed forces and lend-
lease.
Agriculture department oiTcials
said the freeze order would result
in a sharp reduction of civilian sup-
plies inasmuch as the current pro-
duction of butter is insufficien to
meet civilian and war needs.
The action by the war production
board took the form of an order
reserving for the governmenv 50 per
cent of the ,bubter in cold storage
in the 35 principal marketing cen-
ters of the United States.
Because of the butter shortage,
WPB explained he army and navy
have been meeting difficulty in get-
ting sufficient supplies, and ships
having space for butter have been
departing with other cargo.
"This situation requires prompt
and drastic action," WPIB saM.
It was estimated that 30,000,000
to 35,000,000 pounds were frozen by
the action, which will remain in
force until March 6, 1943.
F. R. PLANS NO ADDRESS
ON ANNIVERSARY OF WAR
Deciding against taking any offi-
cial notice of the ann,lversary of
Pearl Harbor December 7, President
Roosevelt disclosed last week that
he thought it should be observed "as
a day of silence in remembrance of
a great infamy."
The White House issued this
statement on the decision:
"The pres!dent will not deliver an
address o December 7, nor take
official notice of that anniversaary.
The President does not feel that
this attitude on the part of the gov-
ernment need interfere with the
carrying out of programs already
arranged under private auspices,
But insofar as notice of December
7 by the President is concerned, he
feels that it should be observed as
a day of silence in remembrance of
a day of great infamy."

sary for the postal department to

rush. Thousands of these people
are now in the armed forces or are

power--shopping early and mailing

led and delivered on me.

Slower Driving Speeds
Reduce Traffic Deaths
The people of North Dakota are
reaping their reward in driving for-
Victory on the highways of the
state. As a result of the grea re-
duction in speed and more carefu
driving there have been 65 deaths
as a result of highway accidents in
the first ten monVahs of this year
compared with 100 for the same
7erod last year.
Out of the total of 65 deaths, 15
were pedestrians. Seven of these
were within the limits of cities and
villages in the state and five of the
,15 were children. Examination of
the records in these cases indicates
quite clearly that people must walk
for Victory as well as drive.
Pedestrians need to give more
careful attention to traffic rules
when walking on the highways and
on crossing streets. Parents need[
to give more careful attention to
where their children walk and play,
says John D. Jeffrey, St'ate High-
way Patrol Chief,
