Khvanis Club Will Have Chicken Fry At Colona Tuesday The fourth chicken dinner sponsored by the Moline Kiwanis club this season will be held Tuesday at the Colona church hall. Arthur Gustafson is in charge of the program. Germany's threat to seize the United States "when it was good and ready" after destroying the allies, was related by Cornelius Vanderbilt, journalist, in an address before members of the Moline Woman's club and guests at the October meeting of the organization Saturday afternoon at the Scottish Rite cathedral.

Mr Vanderbilt said the threat was voiced by Joseph Goebbels, Nazi propaganda minister, during a recent interview. The speaker quoted Goebbels as saying, "It will take Germany ten days to seize Poland, we will destroy England first and France, second. We will take the United States when we are good and ready and take it from within." "I don't want to go to war," Vanderbilt stated, "but we have to get ready fast, if we don't want to be another Poland." "If we have to go to war against Germany, we will fight against some of our own equipment," he declared. Mr Vanderbilt based his conclusion on his recent visit when he saw the German infantry driving Ford touring cars, riding Indian motorcycles and using guns made in the United States. "This war will last until either one ideology destroys the other or the type of life we call civilization is annihilated," he said.

"I am firmly convinced that should England be on the verge of extermination the capital of England will be evacuated from London to Ottawa, Canada, and that may happen in just a few weeks." Hitler and Stalin The speaker sketched in an interesting manner his recent interviews with many of the key figures in Europe. He described the visit of King George and Queen Elizabeth to Canada and declared that the British ruler must be a family man and that King George will prove to be the best choice. Mr Vanderbilt said that when he had luncheon with Josef Beck and General Smigly-Rydz in Warsaw, those two gentlenjen did not get along at all. The world plan of Stalin is so hideous and yet so important to this country that we must get ready, Mr Vanderbilt said as he commented on an interview with Stalin. In Bucharest Mr Vanderbilt said he saw King Carol and Magda Lupescu.

Carol, he said, had improved tremendously and has come out as thelstrong man of the Balkans. It is only a question of time, however, according to the speaker, before the Balkans will be "gone with the wind." In discussing Mussolini, Mr Vanderbilt says that he has lost Evergreen Tree Is Given to City by Girl Scout Units An evergreen tree, purchased by the pennies of Moline girl scouts, was presented to the city of Moline Sunday afternoon at a brief but impressive ceremony in Stephens square, located on the west side of Nineteenth street between Sixth and Seventh atenues. Girl scouts and boy scouts in colorful uniforms were there and Margaret Ann Schwiebert, a mem ber of girl scout troop No. 18 of Central school read the dedication address. Mayor A.

Henry Arp who was scheduled to accept the tree on behalf of the city was unabale to attend but his place was taken by Carl A. Anderson, chairman of the park board of the city council. Meaning of Christmas In' her presentation talk Margaret Ann said that too often the true meaning of Christmas is forgotten. She went on to describe the Christmas customs of the various lands and then pointed out the Christmas tree is a blending of all these customs. Standing erect and pointing to heaven, it directs our reverence to God, she continued.

Mr Anderson declared that the presentation of the tree to the city by the girl scouts is significant because it "shows the trend of mind of the youth in this organization. "It shows that they are thinking of constructive things, that they are trying to make their community a better place in which to live." The park board chairman said everything would be done to ad- Edward Hjerpe to Try for Place on Howes Air Feature Edward Hjerpe of 1910 Fifteenth street Moline tenor who won first place in the Mississippi Valley Music festival at East Moline this summer, left today for New York where he will audition tomorrow morning for the Major Bowes program Thursday night.
