[ussian planes today bombed and
red the little Swedish border

lireatened to rekindle the fiery

Although all of Pajala's 3,000

d aimed at Finnish territory just
ix miles away, neutral observers
xpressed the opinion that Swed
fh "Activists" now would reopen

Igorously that any other help Is
nnecessary."
Townspeople estimated that 34
f the bombs from the heavily la
en raiders were explosive, the
emaining 100 incendiary. The
net' that there were no casualties
ras credited to a timely warning

In the back of the head. Kdward

AMI RASTER SKA IX
Reginning with Monday, the
eleventh of March tbe campaign,
will be gotten under way to aid
crippled children In our commu
nity and county through the sale
of Easter Seals. Your Easter
Seal dollar may not seem like a
lot of money or your Easter penny
may seem very Insignillcent, but
when these pennies and dollars
are inultplied by a host of people
lit amounts to a great deal, and a
large number of crippled children,
crippled either from birth or
through the ravages of disease,
may be lifted from t/he gloom of
dispalr and given the opportunity
to fulfill many of their hopes and
dreams of life.
In this day and time many of
us feel that we are truly living in
God's country where all sorts and
conditions of man find an equal
opportunity for life, liberty and
pursuit) of happiness. This Is true
because the vast majority of citi
zens of the United States still be
lieve that they axe their brother's
keepers and that we do have a re
sponsibility for bhe less fortunate
members of society.
The Reverend L. P. Kent lias
been appointed the county chair
man in Franklin County tor this,
year's seal sale. There will be lo
cal community chairmen In strate
gic sections of the county, and the
County Superintendent of Schools.
Mr. Mills, has given his hearty ap
proval to this project and these
seals will be sold to any school
child who would like to help hta
less fortunate brother. Z,
We feel sometimes that we are
asked for so many things, to
make so many contributions, thnt
If we give to every cause, no mat
ter how worthy that cause might
be. we would have little left for
? ? "irselves. but eomehow an unfo -
innate child touches the heart n '
the most* Indifferent Individual
and the county committee feole
sure that the cltlsens of Franklin
County will do their utmost to see
that every crippled child will have
adequate care through tbe money
derived from this Easter Seal
