COMMERCIAL CLUB
DISCUSSES ROAD
PROBLEM
Fifteen members of the Commercial
Club enjoyed a picnic supper at tiie
park Tuesday evening. A short business meeting was held at which time
plans were made for action to be taken on the. easfcwest road project. Arvid Lundin took charge of the meeting
in the absence of John Rohr who was
called  away on  business-
The road committee reported that
all efforts in securing aid to put these
two vital roads into shape, had been
Ignored by officials in charge and hat
nothing was being done about tne
existing condition at all.
These two roads are very essential
to.the village as the cast road carries
the traffic from the lake district and
the west road is a connecting link to
that trade area. Both these highways
are in deplorable condition and it is
very evident that something must be
done soon. Pine River, it seems, has
been having considerable difficulty in
securing any aid from the county
along these lines whereas roads ire
being re-surfaced and re-graded in all
other .sections and one road in another district, it was stated, is slated for
tarring, to be done in the near future.

FISH PLANTED IN
PINE RIVER
TUESDAY
Local game warden Knowles, assisted Tuesday in placing 60 cans of
Rainbow Trout in Upper Pine River;
10 cans of Brook Trout in Dabill
Creek and 10 cans of Brook Trout in
Spring Brook Creek. The first two
locations are in Cass County and the
latter in Crow Wing-
These fish were brought from the
Olenwood hatcheries and will no
doubt make some fine angling for enthusiastic fisherman when they reach
the proper age.
Pine River is well pleased with tne
splendid cooperation received' through
our warden to make these projects
possible.
As we go to press, definite word
has been received that Mr. Deyneka
will speak at the morning service at
the Bible Conference at 11 a. m- H.
B. Street will speak in the afternoon.
Mr- and Mrs. Jules Saeger and

REGISTRATION OF YOUTHS FOR
WORK IN DEFENSE PLAN
Audrey Collins is the solo dancer
with the Vernon Ames' Dance Ballet,
one of the feature attractions in State
Fair Revue, the super musical production to be presented at the Minnesota
State Fair. Eight performances will
be given Monday, August 26, through
Labor Day, September 2.
First effect locally, of the national
defense program came this week
when it was announced that the National Youth Administration and tne
division of employment and security
hail completed an arrangement to register, at the local employment office
young men who are interested, 'under
revised regulations, NYA work in the
defense  training program.
Registrations for the Cass county
area will be at the Itinerant office if
the Division of Employment and Security located at the court house at
Walker, This office will be open each
Thursday at 10 a- m-, and is under
the direction of E- E. Rolfe.
As the registration gets under way,
major changes will be made in certification procedures in anticipation of
the part NYA will play in the defense
program.
Eligibility for NYA employment
now is broadly interpreted as tne
need of employment, work experience
or training. Heretofore "need of relief" has been the controlling factor.
To be eligible to register, individuals
must be between the ages of 18 and
25 inclusive, be citizens of the United States and unemployed. Youtns
attending high school or college during the regular school year, are not
eligible. Individuals receiving unemployment compensation benefits also
are ineligible.
Registration does not assume a probability of immediate NYA employment, since quotas that cannot be exceeded will be assigned to each area.
However, any person eligible and interested should register at once as
local quotas doubtless will take into
consideration the number of applicants in each community.
CAUTION   IS   URGED   WHEN
DRIVING  NEAR THE WAR
MANEUVER   AREA
A warning to avoid possible traffic
accidents and inconvenience in and on
roads approaching the half-million
acre military maneuver area in Milie

sen's personal representative in charge of traffic control during the maneuver period.
'More than 50,000 National Guard
and regular U. S. Army men, with
full equipment, will be in this area
during the entire month," stated Mr.
Rowe, "and motorists who will have
occasion to travel on highways in this
combat zone during this time are reminded of the hazards presented by
the   concentration   of  troops-"
Mechanized and infantry troops
will be required to cross roads and
highways while carrying out their
military assignments, he said, while
other highways will serve as communi
cation ancl supply lines. To prevent
any unnecessary accidents, it is suggested that motorists exercise especial caution and alertness on the following trunk highways in or leading to
the maneuver area: T- H. 23, 371, 218
27, 115, 18 and 169-
Large warning signs, urging motorists to "Look Out for Troop Movements," are posted on highways at the

Rigid Conservation
in Wild Rice Harvest
Rigid conservation of Minnesota's
wild rice resources, greatest of any
state in the nation, was decreed oy
the Conservation commission W. L.
Strunk this week with an order regulating the $500,000 industry.
To protect rice beds in danger of
destruction, the Commission ordered
that harvesting this season be limited
to lakes approved by Frank Broker
of Cass Lake, state director of the
wild rice harvest.
Broker's decisions will be subject--
to approval by the Commissioner-
Wild rice harvesting licenses, which
sell for 50c each, are expected to be
issued by the department in the next
week or  two.
Since Minnesota is the undisputed
leader in wild rice production, the
Commissioner said, special steps must
be taken to protect the crop and to
facilitate re-seeding ancl re-stocking
of open areas in rice lakes.
•'We shall open those lakes where
•the crop is sufficient to justify the
harvest without injury to the re-seed
ing capacity, or t£> the supply available for duck food" stated Mr- Strunk-
The wild rice industry is a vital
part of the state and more of it is
produced here than any similar area

in the world. Minnesota wild rice is
shipped to every corner of the world
market, even to high class cafes of
Other  continents.
Valuable experience gained last
year in initial enforcement of the
wild rice law passed by the 1939 legislature will be applied to the crop
this season. ' Harvesting operations
usually begin around September 1.
Lakes are expected to be approved
for harvesting on the recommendation
of trained observers scattered through
out the ricing territory. Each will examine five to ten lakes. Last year
100 to 150 lakes were opened to harvesting.
Undue depletion of natural wild rlc?
beds in recent years prompted passage of the regulatory law.

new 1940 sedan was completely demolished. •
Mr. Right who was riding in the

Pine River on the highway, was an.
eye-witness to the tragedy. After releasing the ladies from the car, he
