Vater Warns Younger Generation to Beware of Marriage Pitfalis Pointing out that “experience still is a great teacher.” Rev. W. E. Vater Sunday night advised the younger generation to counsel with its parents on matters of life and love. It was the second of a series of ser- mons which Rev. Vater is preaching on modern problems. The church auditorium was crowded to the doors. At the same time he advised child- ren to consult their parents, he warned the Jatter against interfering unduly with their children’s affairs. If parents are interested in the kind of marriages their children make, he suggested, about the best thing they can do is to see that their offspring associate with other young persons of the same race, the same religion, the same general social and family stand- ing. \ Adjustment Not Difficult Matters of race and creed are acci- cents with regard to the individual, he explained, but they are such sen- sitive points that it is difficult to ad- just them, particularly when child- ren bogin coming into the home. Because of this fact, he said, mar- of Jews and Gentiles, Protest- ants and Catholics and of the white vace with colored races “have far less chance of happy results than when the parties involved argof the same Trace and religion.” Such facts should be faced before marriage, he said, and where agree> ments are entered into with regard to the religious training and educa- tion of children they should be kept. as solemn contracts and there should be no fuss or whining about it after- ward, The only preventive for untold misery n many such cases, he said, is to make such decisions prayerfully and carefully becaus> “life and love may be remance, but once you are married it becomes the romance of stark reality.” Cites Abraham's Experience Quoting from the bible the experi- ence of Abraham when seeking a wife for Isaac, Rev. Vater paralleled it with the advice of a San Francisco judge who warned young men “never marry a girl with soft, white hands if, at the same time, her mother's hands are roughened by hard work. She wont make a good helpmate. The answer, Rev. Vater said, is found in the fact that the girl who can “wash and iron a shirt and cook good, wholesome meals, has a better chance of being a successful wife than one who cannot do these things. Again reverting to Isaac and Re- bekah, Rev. Vater pointed out that Isaac was shy and retiring whereas Rebekah was vivacious and aggressive but that they got along well together because they were of the same race and religion and the blessing of God rested upon their union. The third sermon of the serics will be given next Sunday evening ee. iNvEs ve NEWS ™M James Mahnkey, 118% Sixth St. at 8:15 p.m. Satur. day, St. Alexius hospital.

DENIES OFFERS OF IMMUNITY TO HELP call He Was Offered ‘Con- | sideration’ by Agents ing recollection of any promise ql- ents that he would yrecelve consid- tion” if he testified for the gow against John Steves, Carnduff, Sask. farmer, Willigm Stammen of Fx- holm, confessed participant in a cat- eral district court in Minot Monday. The trial, now in its third day, con- tinued Monday afternoon, with Unit- ed States District Attorney P. W. Lanier summoning witnesses in sup- port of the government's contention that Steves was a fellow-conspirater with Stammen and four others in the smuggling of 71 head of cattle from Canada into the United States in October, 1935, Asked by Judge L. K. Palda, Jr., Minot, of defense .ounsel, if customs officials who arrested him for his Part in the affair on Nov. 22, 1938, had offered to show him “considera- tion” if ha would testify against Steeves, Stammen declared, “I don't recall any such conversation.” Oscar Paulhus, Canadian farmer, was sentenced Monday by Judge Andrew Miller to serve two 30-day terms in a county jail, the terms to run concurrently, for smuggling and for illegal entry in the United States. Gunder Ligaard, Fortuna, was given a 30 day sentence for concealing smug- gled property. CONTINUE pee one |Charges Against Flannigan Taken Under Advisement discharged by the department, Flan- nigan said, and he stated they were| “unable to give specific instances or dates.” these cases are true, they should have reported them before they were fired,” he contended. Department Reimbursed Answering the charge two employes worked in political headquarters, Flannigan said “what they do on their vacation is their own business— Eva Gatez was gone one month and she had that much vacation coming; Al Klaudt exceeded his time, but the department was reimbursed.” Under the system in the highway department an employe is entitled to one day vacation per month and any excess would apply on his future va cation or be deducted from his salary if he were discharged, Flannigan said. At the request of Flannigan and with agreement of Murphy, three of the 13 specified charges were dis- missed by. Governor Langer: ‘These were that over 1.800 miles of highway did not comply with federal require- ments; that Flannigan permitted the state to lose approximately $1,000,000 of federal aid money; and that he aided the Midwest Equipment com- pany of Fargo, to “obtain large canr tracts without complying with the law.” Long Detour Criticized 4 detour of 40 miles on U. 8. high- way 10 between Jamestown and Bis: marck “all summer” was: “unjustifir able poor judgment” delared Murphy. contending the commissioner was at- tempting to “cast. the burden on the federal government saying the bureau of public roads had approved the plans.” Flannigan asserted the project was constructed under federal funds en- tirely, that approval was received on all phases and that lack of rainfall held up completion of the work by not “binding” the foundgtion. A charge of collecting contribu- tions for political purposes came in for considerable testimony and was ® point on which Murphy laid stress. ' “They say ‘force’ wasn’t used in making these collections and the commissioner contends he wasn't aware of them,” Murphy stated. “Every contributor was perfectly aware that if he didn’t kick in he would lose his job—force ts iinplied in the very asking for money.” Denies Intimidation “I don’t believe any party we eva: affiliated with ever forced collec- tions,” Flgnnigan tald the governor. “At no time did I ever tell any em- ploye in my department what paliti- cal attitude he should take. “The question comes gown to whether the highway department was operated economically, etfectively ahd without negligence, and that the manner in which, this trial was conr ducted allowed me to bring in evir dence which I feel satisfactorily ex- plains each charge,” he saia Murphy asserted in closing that he “believed any one” of nine charges presented would “justify” the re- moval of Flanniga: DEFICJT AT NEW PEAK Washington, Jan. 18.—(#) —The government’s deficit for this year crossed the $1,500,000,000 mark Jan. 15.
