Here's Man Who Didn't
Know War Was On
(By Associated Press.)

WILLOW CREEK, Mont, May 81
There is at least one citizen Of the
United States who only recently learn
ed that this country is at war.
The man is Charles B. Smith, who
lives on a cattle ranch in the Snowy
Mountain region and often for weeks
at time, is isolated.
Recently two men, looking for stray
cattle, reached Smiths ranch. The
trio began to talk about various
events. One of the strangers said
something about "the war;
THE what?" said Smith
'Why, the war; replied the
stranger.
What war;" asked Smith.
Quit your kidding" was the curt
answer.
Smith persisted and when he learn
ed the details he, in turn, thought his
guests were joking. The doubt re-
manned in his mind until he came here
recently and learned the truth.
