Elderly People to Remain
On Forest Land Home.

Considerations of human welfare
enter into the building up of National
Forest areas in many interesting ways
For example, when men of the U. S.
Forest Service go about their work OF
buying lands of forest character, Of
fered for sale to the government, they
not infrequently encounter elderly
owners who are willing or even anxious
to dispose of their holdings that they
may be preserved as forest areas, but
who hesitate at their age to seek new
homes. They wish an acre or two upon
which to live out their lives in familiar
surroundings.
Thus it is that the United States
Forest Service has just made very
human addition to it's already estab-
lished policy Of dealing fairly with the
occupants of purchased land. The
Forest Service has for some time been
giving special use permits to former
owners and tenants living on such
lands. These permits allow them, upon
the payment of a nominal rental, to
stay until it is to their advantage TIC
move. But now, to that older policy
there is added another, to the effect
that free permits may be given tx
elderly people who wish to live Out
their lives in their old homes, and who
are willing to pass title under thai
condition.
1t is not a blanket policy to be ap
piled indiscriminately but in exception
al cases of elderly people, it may b.
done.
Thus forest lands of public value viii
be brought under proper care, Will
established homes remain undisturbeo

your hands with soap and water.
Take your time eating and chew
your food thoroughly.
Eat plenty of fruit and vegetables.
g. Drink at least six glasses of water
day.
Z. Don't let day go by without at
least one thorough bowel movement.
8. Get eight hours sleep in every
twenty-four.
9. Keep your windows open in your
sleeping room, but avoid drafts.
10. Do not dope yourself with head
ache powders or pills. A headache is
a sign that something is wrong. Ii
may be due to constipation, stomach
trouble, or eye strain. Consult your
physician.
IL. Dress according to the weather
and your job. Keep your feet dry.
II. Have complete physical exam

of the mechanics of tuning-in foreign
stations may be helpful. Most re-
ceivers have their dials marked in
megacycles. Thus, you can tell by the
DIAL just where to tune for any sta
ton. For instance, suppose you wish
to tune-in station EAQ, Madrid. Your
log book or station list shows you that
EAO has a frequency of 9.87 mega
cycles. So you turn your dial to the
portion between 9.5 and 10. You will
note that the space between these fig
ures is divided into equal parts. The
number of these divisions vary in diff
ferent makes of receivers, but suppose
! there are five of them on your set.
Each division then, represents one
tenth of a megacycle. Thus, as you
tune from 9.5 toward 10, the first di-
vision represents SO magacycles, the
next one, 81 megacycles, etc. There
fore, you will find EAQ just under the
fourth division or at 9.87 megacycles.
Reading your dial correctly will help
you identify unknown stations. If you
have a station located just halfway be-
tween ga and 6.5 on your dial, you
know its frequency is 645. So by look
ing in your station list you can identify
it as HJ1ABB at Barranquilla, Colum-
bia.
Call the Ely Hardware Company fol-
the time and dates of any particula,
station in which you are interested.

ENFORCE THE TRAFFIC
LAWS!

Of all the weapons being used TO
combat motor traffic accidents, en-
forcement is ultimately the most I'M
portant This is not to minimize the
vital need for such primary measures
as education and engineering, for eoIica-
ton is a great hope and only through
it can we achieve the ideal OF SELL
enforcement Traffic engineering Is a
fast-developing science which can and
does go far in reducing the prooaolilIy
of motor accidents caused by faults IN
street and highway design and con-
struction Nevertheless, until educa-
ton teaches the motorist better habits
and proper respect for the added aa-
vantages given by traffic engineering
safety, enforcement must assume the
practical leadership in accident reduc-
ton.
People who are otherwise law-abiding,
deliberately break the traffic laws every
day. The result last year was $4,000
killed and close to a million injured.
The police cannot afford to let down in
their enforcement effortS-rather they
must intensity them. Probably the first
requisite for good enforcement is gooo
laws to enforce. The truth Of this
statement is proved by survey made
by the National Bureau of Casualty
and Surety Underwriters. This survey
showed that the trend in the ratio of
motor accident fatalities to gasoline
consumption increased twenty per cent
in six years in group of states having
no drivers license laws, while at the
same time, it decreased twenty-five per
cent in those states with standard IL
cense laws. So long as the law itself
is lax, not only about licenses but also
about the whole motor vehicle code, it
cannot be surprising that the motorist
is also lax.
A second requisite of good enforce
ment is intelligent application of the
law. All offending motorists are not
alike, either in their attitude or the
degree of their offense. No police officer
has the right to abuse his authority by
abusing a motorist where harshneSS il
not called for. The "bawling OUT
should be saved for the extreme Of
fender. The average violator, being the
average man, is amenable to reason
The policeman who can explain how the
safety of the offender and of others
has been endangered by an illegal OF
an unsafe practice and who is equipped
as well to demonstrate statistically the
toll taken by that particular violation
is far more likely to win a convert x
the good driving idea. Correction ane
not punishment is the aim of modern
traffic law enforcement.
Real enactment, therefore, is self
enactment. Death and destruction or
streets and highways will practically
cease when every driver-and every
pedestrian his own agent Of
enforcement.

Scrap Iron in State
Shipped to japanese.

Big Fork-MoSt of the scrap iron Junk
dealers buy at random in Bigfork goes
to Japan, according to buyer from
Cloquet who was in Bigfork recently.
In Japan it goes to the munitions fac
tory and is transformed into guns,
bayonetS, hand grenadeS, and all other
parpahernalia for killing, possibly to be
used some day in the killing of some
Bigfork youth! Two heavy truck loads
of scrap iron were taken out of Big
fork that day, with eighty tons de-
livered to dealers. The stuff ranged
from stove bolts to automobile axles,
which seems to be the chief articles
wanted. Scrap copper is in greatest de-
mand and brings the best price from
the junk men. Italy is just now the
heaviest foreign buyer. The copper
junk bought throughout the state is
assembled for shipment at eastern ports
while the scrap iron designed for Japan
goes to San Francisco where shiploads
go out every week.

PERTINENT PARAGRAPHS

Who says ads aren't read? Henry
Brockway of LIE Center advertised for

Trainmen on a freight running be-
tween Kilkenny and Doyle discovered
that truck of one of the box cars in
the middle of the train had jumped the
track and had been riding on the ties
for distance of over mile when dis
covered. The roadbed was damaged,
and traffic held up for a time, but the
crew was glad serious wreck had
probably been ayerted.
A resident of Hutchinson left his car
at a service station. The manager of
the place left with it, leaving behind a
note saying that he was bound for parts
unknown but would put the car safely

she saw no evidence of guns on the
