SWEDEN AIDS FINNS

STOCKHOIJM, Dec. 28—(AP) — Fighting volunteers, medical aid which will be welcome to refugees. great quantities of clothing and financial credits are among the aids being extended to Finland by Sweden

The most significant help to the small northern neighbor to fight of! Soviet Russia —vol- unteers-is not mentioned often.

The government maintains its policy of official neutrality. and the movement of volunteers comes under the heading of military ‘ secrecy.

But it ls known that hundreds. d1sti11ctlve.y uniformed. already have left Sweden and are on Fin- nish soll where they are expected to be in action soon. especially on the northern and central fronts.

Gen. Ernest hinder, 71, a veteran with both the Swedish and Fin- nish armies. has been named oom- rnander of the volunteers.

"Every assistance possible for Hriiand within the official policy of neutrality," appears to be the prevailing thought here.

Swedes estimated tonight that outright cash contributions to their small northern neighbor to date total 8.000.000 crowns (about $2.- 000000.) ‘Iihese sums have been raised by organized collections.

The largest single cash oun- tribution was by the Confederation of Labor. an association of Liaibor Unions, which gave 500,000 crowns.

General Store At Cape Egmont

Fire Destroys

A small general store at Cape Eg- mont run by Fred Dugusy, an en- uwflam] young man, was burned to the ground yesterday morning, with all its contents. The fire was discovered about nine o'clock and although neighbours came quickly tn the aid of young Duguay the fire had gained such headway that nothing could be done to save stock or anything. A stiff wcst wind helped to fan the blaze. Nearby buildings were saved. The stock was valued at about $1.100, partly cov- ered by insurance, The store was a separated building. It is thought a overheated stove started the fire.
