Wartime England goes calmly
about its everyday business, in
spite of sandbags lining the BUSH
ness streets and air raid shelters
in the city parks, according to the
Rev. E. B. Schuster, young Great
Falls priest who returned recently
after spending year in study at
Oxford, university; Many colleges
and universities In England have
been converted into barracks for the
soldiers, Father Scfiuster said
The priest, who is with the Great
Falls diocese and who had been with
the Register, Catholic publication, be-
fore going abroad to study, returned
TO the United States late IN September.
One hundred thirty-five passengers
OVERLOOKED ship quarters whose capaci-
ty was normally rs persons, he said.
Although the entire crossing was
rough, the merchant vessel, once she
was well out to sea, encountered no
submarines. Shortly after getting to
sea, she was radioed by an English
boat being pursued by an enemy sub
marine. The American Merchant had
gone so miles out of her course in
response 10 the GILL, WIlSu sic was
informed that a Norwegian boat had
picked up the crew from the boat,
which had been torpedoed.
Many distinguished people were on
the return trip TO this country, Father
Schuster said. While the majority of
the passengers were Americans, several
refugees were aboard from Austria and
Czechoslovakia. Among passengers was
a fashion news writer on Vogue mag
azine, returning from Paris. The ship
sailed, after much delay, from Eng
land and stopped in Glasgow for a
cargo of whisky before leaving for
this country.
Large American flags we're painted
on both sides of the boat and an enor-
nous flag flown from the vessel was
lighted constantly after the ship left
British waters. Father Schuster cele-
brated mass every morning Of the pas
sage home. He said that when he left
oxford, the university had been vir-
tualIy closed except science and nedi-
cal departments and that Campion
hall, where he was living, was being
turned into a hospital

Fall Planting Tasks
Are of TJUO Glasses:
Must and 'ODtiOnGP

Fall planting is Of two kinds: First,
the tasks which can be done only In
the fall, and second, those which can
be performed either tn the fall or
There is no option about the first
class, which includes the planting Of
tulip narcissus, hyacinth and the
minor hardy bulbs, and setting out
of peonies and madonna lilies. If these
subjects have not been put into the
ground by the time 1t freezes you must
wait another year TO add them to your
garden picture.
It Is surprising the number who do
not understand this and who try to
purchase tulip bulbs in the spring
These fall bulbs are imported each
year at this time from Holland and
are available at no other time. They
must pass the winter In your garden
soil in order to bloom In the spring.
The second class Of fan planting
tasks, those which can be done either
in fall or spring, include many which
are better done In the fall; and the
experienced gardener may usually be
told by the way in which he gets these
Jobs out Of the way.
Fall planting is essentially a matter
OF foresight. There Is no urge like the
spring garden fever; only keen mag
nation win bridge over the months Of
snow and winter Just ahead TO see the
burst OF spring glory next year toward
which our fall work viii contribute.
Only one-third Of all gardeners under
take complete fan planting programs.
The optional jobs include planting
trees and perennials, making and re-
pairing lawns, and sowing some annual
and perennial flower seeds.

In justification of this apparently
wild statement, let me remind you
that eastern asd central Montana con-
tains, according to estimates OF the
United States geological survey, 400
billion tons of known mineable coal,
which represents one-eighth Of ne
United States supply and one-twelfth
of the known world supply. Now if
we place a value of only ! cent per
ton on it we get 1900 million dollars
for this one reason alone, and / pre-
sumo all of you will admit that l cent
per ton Is a ridiculously low estimate
Montana's mineral future, DR.. Thom-
son said, does not rest upon her coal
reserves alone-these are an asset OF
the ultimate rather than of the i'm
mediate future. But to the coal re-
serve, he said, must be added further
oil discoveries from known productive
horizons as well as deeper horizons
within the boundaries of the state. "
This applies also to gas, he said. The
mining industry occupies the attention
of a great public because "Montanas
quintuplets are gold, silver, copper,
lead and zinc"
Mining Reawakened
Due to the enhancement of the price
of gold, he said, mining has seen
reaWakening of both lode and placer
Operations. He thought it significant
that no new deposit areas of lode
mining had been discovered. Present
activities are confined to areas that
had been active 40 OF so years ago.
The inference, he said is that all the
out-crops Of precious and semi-precious
metals have already been discovered.
He felt, however, that this Is q false
assumption.
Speaking from the standpoint of a
peofogist he said that great possibilities
await future generations because the
crust of the earth upon which we live
is, when viewed geologically, a most
transitory thing.
"That which was the surface Of the
earth 10 million years ago." he said,

MONTANA AFFORDS VAST OPPORTUNITIES

1890 census shows $4,000 persons d.
rectly employed in the mineral indus
try IN Montana, and If we take into
account the entire population Of Butte,
anaconda and numerous small towns
directly dependent on coal and metal
mining and the oil and gas industries
together and that part of Great Falls
dependent on the reduction works and
the oil and gas industry, the total
number Of persons directly and indi-
rectly dependent on the mineral in
dustry must be 10000 or more, over
one-fourth of the entire population of
the state, and it is, Of course, obvious
that the mineral industry pays better
wages than any other industry in the
state.
Speaking Of the mineral industry in
its historical aspect at one of the
planning meetings several years ago, I
remarked that without the mineral
industry mankind would still be plow-
ing the ground with a sharp stick,
reaping his grain with cradle, thresh-
ing 1t with a wooden fail, wearing a
breechcloth. and living In skin te-
pee" Insofar as Montana Is concerned,
without the mineral industry our

developed wilderness but the occasion

lion dollars Is a stupenduous sum, he
said. One can better understand what
mining means TO the state when It is
remembered that all but fraction Of
this huge sum was spent on Just five
items-wages, supplies, power, freight,
treatment and taxes Wages alone &C
counted for the expenditure Of so per-
cent of the sum, he said, while taxes
absorbed 5 percent. Supplies accounted
for II percent. Practically all Of this
money was spent inside the state, DR..
Thomson said. The tax bill of the past
was a moderate burden as compared
with the taxes of today, he said. zone

"Foodstuffs are not the only ma

Mr.. William Stussy Of the Montana
Power Co, tells me that the average
consumption Of the mineral industry
of the state is 100000 kilowatts and
that the connected load is nearly half
a million kilowatts. The consumption
of timber and of lumber by the min
eral industry is far and away greater
than any other industry IN the state
and it is a certainty that so percent
of the railroad tonnage and more than
that of the railroad revenue comes
from the transportation Of mineral

subject to the social security taxes
