Fearless Fred Hoyme “The Old Sage Brusher”. Hal Blomquist [ was highly applauded when he played his accordion. He could have done better except he had lost some fingers In a gun bat-tle and consequently had to play with only five fingers on ench hand. Next on the lively program were the Trail Mates, a real good male quartet con-sidering they iiad only five members. The boys sang two numbers “There’s a Gold Mine in the Sky” and “Standin’ in the Need of Prayer”.
A great clanging from the torman’s cowbell announeed that the Sage Brusher was going to speak. Fearless Fred, presenting quite a sight in his old buckskin jacket, beat up Stetson, and his yellow wig spoke of the days when he was a youngun’. The old timer told of the time he was in Sweden and had planted some corn. A little fellow had climbed the corn stalk wihen it started to grow something fierce. Fearless Fred tried all means to try and save the boy who was quickly ascending to the sky. And so in desperation called some woodsmen to cut that corn stalk down. “But do you know,” he said, “that stalk grew iso fast that they couldn’t hit the same spot twice. That Swedish fertilizer were sure 'good stuff.” Finally, however, I some feller came by and he ipreached so much hot air that the corn stalk just withered and died.
The Trail Mates thought it high time they returned to their campfire and in so doing sang a populär number of the Sons of the Pioneers “Just the Touch of God’s Hand”. At the close of the program Ruby Johnson, president of the Luther League, mentioned that the League was challenging the Ladies’ Aid and the Brotherhood in a com-petition to see who can raise the most money by the end of the year. If this is an example of the League’s endeavours it would be worthwhile standing by. I hear tell there’s talk of a Halloween Party at the end of th month. If there is, 1’11 bet there’ll be many a banshee hav-ing a wail of a time. — M. W.

Kemisk substans för kräftforsk-ning sändes till U. S. A.
En kemisk substans, som efter tre års forskningar framställts av docent Bengt Sylvén vid Radiumhemmet i Stockholm har av denne skickats till en kollega i Minneapolis, professor Glick, under mycket speciella förhållanden. Preperatet, som utgör ett led i den vid Radiumhemmet bedrivna kräft- och bind vä vsforskningen, dj upf rystes före avfärden från Bromma till minus 80° Cel. I flygplanet hade American Overseas Airlines ordnat med torris för flaskan och i Minneapolis mötte prof. Glick själv för att övervaka transporten till laboratoriet. Förpackningen beräknades nämligen hålla endast 48 timmar och brådskan var så stor att både den svenska och amerikanska tullen var vidtalad och lovade rekordsnabb behandling.
Svensk-Amerikansk litteratur icke uppskattad i Sverige.
Svensk-Amerikas litteratur på svenska har hittills knappast blivit tillbörligt uppmärksammad i Sverige, framhåller Svenska Dagbladet i sin bokspalt. En erinran därom utgör den antologi “Amerika-Svensk lyrik genom 100 år” som Martin S. Allwood utgivit med ekonomiskt bistånd av The Vinking Fund i New York. Allwood har här samlat in svensk-amerikanska poeter som med några få undantag torde vara så gott som okända i Sverige. De flesta av de mer än 80 bidragsgivarna har varit tidningsmän, 15 präster, 7 professorer, och ett par statstjänstemän i höga ställningar. medan resten företräder praktiskt taget alla yrken från guldsmed till grovarbetare.

var det hälsningstal, som hölls av Orsa-karlen Finn Erik Hansson, när deltagarna i den internationella mejerikongressen häromdagen hälsade på i Dalarna. Nio nationer var representerade, men inte ens svenskarna begrep orsamålet, som dock översattes. Vad man däremot begrep och uppskattade var filbunke, tunnbröd och andra fäbod sprodukter från Fryksås, som dalkarlarna bjöd på.

"Are,you going, too?”
It’s a long trip to Grandmother’s. Naturally this young traveler would like to have the strong and sure hand of a grownup to cling to. Trav-eler’s Aid staff members along the route will see that she’s safely on the right train. They’ll see that she’s met at her destination and will personally arrange to have Grandmother greet her “at the Traveler’s Aid desk.” When you make your Community Chest pledge this year, give enough for the Traveler’s Aid and all other Red Feather services.
