Poets At Agency
Get High Mention
Local Folk. Cited For Breaking
Monotony At Washington,
d. c., Office

In the current issue of Indians
At Work." a news folder of nation
al circulation published by the
office of Indian affairs at Washing
ton, D. c., appears an article which
caused a stir when it was read at
the local agency offices.
1t refers to a poetic effort which
reflects true genius. Robert j. Bail
antyne, chief Of IECW account, de-
clares in the article:
"Once is a while in the hard
steady routine Of examining IECW
accounts, with it's attendant exact
ing attention to multitudinouS de-
tails, something does occur that re-
lieves the monotony, if only for q
little while.
Recently one of our examiners
grinding away at the job, came up
on the following notation on q
voucher covering the rental OF q
drag saw. The notation was intend
ed as a certificate that the eXpend-
iture was legally chargeable to the
Emergency Conservation Work
funds. It read,
This was the saw
That cut the wood
That built the fire
That cooked the food
That fed the IECW workers at
Disautel camp"
"The thanks of the accounting
office go to the fellow who was
responsible, and so who gave us all
real laugh"
Credit for composition of the
poem is due no fellow" but to Mrs
l.. A. Gray and Miss Veramae Rich
ards OF the agency staff.

Brand Law Hits
Cattle Rustlers
Sheriff Says Ordinance Cut Rust
ling To A Minimum
In This County

Failure on the part of some cat
tie raisers in Okanogan county to
acuuaint themselves with the pro-
visions of the year-old brand regis
tration ordinance and marketing
regulations, a county law, is caus-
ing them inconvenience when they
attempt to dispose of their STOCK,
sheriff's officers declare.
Despite this, the result of the new
ordinance has been to bring cattle
stealing to minimum, one OF the
chief purposes of the regulation,
they state. The ordinance makes
it practically impossible for rust
lers" to dispose of stolen cattle
without the theft being detected
when they attempt to dispose of
them, officials point out.
List Provisions
Main provisions of the ordinance
regulating the use of brands and
sale and disposal of livestock in this
county follow:
All persons, before using any
brand, fire, tattoo or other mark on
cattle, fOfSeS or mules muSC IlrSG
record with the county auditor and
register with the county sheriff the
brand or mark to be used.
Any persons or firms desiring to
ship, drive or otherwise transport
cattle, horses, mules or the carcass
ses thereof from Okanogan county
shall furnish the nearest stock in
spector with the signed certificate
by owner or custodian OF the STOCK,
bill OF sale, custodian, or raised by
owner showing number, ages, SEX

marks of such animals. The in

Indian department, free text books
will be made available to all pupils
in the grade school. All pupils will

FRANCE WOULD POOL
PLANES WITH GERMANS

CONTINUED from nag" one'
Deputy Renaitour deplored the
condition of Frances aviation.
We must have airmail planes
as fast as any Others" he said in
announcing his combine project:
"At present, France is far behind
her neighbors. Many of our COM
bat planes are incapable of keep
ing up with our neighbors' trans
port planes.
81 am heartbroken at the con-
dition of our aviation, which many
members of parliament blame on
the alleged inefficiency of former
Air Minister Pierre Cot. He failed
to listen to our repeated and urg-
ent warnings.
"The truth is that today, should
France not be friendly with Italy,
it would be impossible to assure
safe transport for our troops in
the Mediterranean. We have only
one hundred seaplanes against
lJdlV s one IlOuSdIus lhSiio oiS
definitely speedier than many OF
our pursuit planes"
Renaitour indicated a storm of
protest probably will result
against the FrancO-German air
pool proposal.
"Many members of parliament
are not prepared to accept the
idea of German planes having
blanket rights to fly over French
territories" he remarked. This
would have to be offered, how
ever. for the duration of the
pool"
He emphasized that many felt
dissatisfied with Cot for permit
ting Frances air rights in the
Azores to lapse. Ger. Maurice Du-
val, former chief Of the French
air force and now advisor to Air
France. the national aviation unit,
is in Lisbon, however, seeking to
renew these contracts.

dav when a big Douglas amphl-
bian monoplane. carrying three
war birds toward Washington, was
shattered by savage seas about ~
miles off the south shore of Long
Island. with the apparent loss OF
one life.
Three army lieutenants took off
from Floyd Bennett field to begin
service with the airmail. They
were forced down in heavy seas
and before the combined forces
of the navy, the coast guard and
the New York police departments
air patrol could reach them, one
had been lost.
The other two, clinging desper-
ately to the wings Of their foun-
dering ship, were rescued by the
navy destroyer Bernadou. both
suffering from exposure. They
were rushed at full speed to the
navy base hospital in Brooklyn.

sought vainly to reach it.
The three army men were en-
route to Langley Field where they
had been assigned to work as pi-
lots in the airmail service, taken
over from private operators last
Monday by the army.
Two New York police filters
made an early attempt to rescue
the men and alighted on the wa
ter near the army ship. Patrol
man Joseph Schmitt was at the
controls and Patrolman Frank
Hawkins was with him in the po-
lice amphibian.
Unable to approach the army
plane because of towering waves,
they attempted to fly away.
Patrolman Schmitt found his
controls were frozen and had to
taxi his ship in to Belle Harbor,
L. I. Schmitt had to be lifted
from the cockpit. Both officers
were treated for exposure.
