Form WoodIots
Are important

Farm woodlots are stepping into
the spotlight as one of the import
ant assets in the agricultural de-
velopment of western Montana, ac-
eordlng to pamphlet recently
published by the Montana State
University at Missoula.
The pamphlet points out that the
fuelwood, fence posts, logs and
other building material accessible
to the farmers in the agricultural
valleys of this part of the state make
a substantial contribution to the
welfare of farm communities. One
item cited in support of this state
ment is the fact that where wood is
available, western Montana farm
ers use an average of IA cords each
year for heating and cooking pur-
poses.
The purpose of the bulletin is to
provide owners of farm woodlots
with practical suggestions on fire
prevention, protection from bark
beetles or other damaging insects,
best methods of logging, grading OF
trees for sale as logs, and how to
Craze timbered areas so as to pro-
tect the young trees from damage by
livestock.
The material for the bulletin was
prepared by l. V. Anderson. senior
forester with the Northern Rock,

week by Western Homes Founda-

the National Plan Service for the
building industry's Homeland
Program" which is now being ap-
piled by Western Homes Foundas

This program, originated by re-
tail lumber dealers in Evansville,

ting great response because it
meets great need-the housing
needs of families with incomes be-
low $1,000 per year and above sub
sistence levels. The slum- clearance
projects of the United States Hous-
ing Authority are directed at the
wants of metropolitan families in
the near subsistence brackets or of
those on work relief. The Farm Sc
curity Administration is supplying
good loW-cost housing and land to
rural families that require govern
ment help for rehabilitation But
three remains vast group of fam
lilies, particularly in smaller cities
and towns, which are self-support-
ing and independent but cannot af-
ford urban housing in the form of
the modern small, low-cost home
designed to command FILA insured
Title L home loans.
THE building industry's Home
Land Program is for the benefit of
this group Cheap fertile acreage
is available near most industrial
cities and towns. Such locations
make ideal home-sites for wage
earners who have much spare time
because of short Work-Weeks, sea
sonal layoffs, or lack of employ
ment between jobs, as in the build
ing trades These breadWinners
have the time, and usually the skill,
to do their own work in making an
acre of land produce vegetables and
fruits, and in building a home of
simple design. Housing develop
ments of this type can be financed
under the FILA Title plan, or by
private financing.
Here in the West our first step
in the Homeland Program is to
publish suitable loWest-cost home
designs. When the issue of our first
group Of four designs is completed

lease material on the subdivision

illustrated, is a Colonial cottage of
charming architectural character in
its exterior. The two gables ampli-
fy the appearance of the front of
the home. In service, this feature
of the design provides for porch

a small home, the living room is

The Young in Heart Fea iured for Last Times
 at Local Theatre

When the story "Ine Young In Heart, ending tonight at the Cap itol Theatre, opens the "Sahib's" in- sistence upon mixing brandy, sleight of hand and poker results in their being umceremoniously evicted from their rich Riviera hunting ground. They head toward an unpromising England, leaving the aforementioned lush possibilities behind
 But something will turn up, they are certain. And something does, in the person of little Miss Fortune, whom George-Anne tJanet Gaynor) discovers on the train. This tiny, timid and fabulously wealthy old lady, who has emerged from a life of obscurity to spend her last days getting a glimpse of the big world, takes this charming family to her bosom. And what more fitting re- turn could she make for their charmingly effortless efforts to gladden. her last days than to make them her heirs?
 The setup looks perfect and is perfect But things begin to happen that surprise even the Carletons. For one thing, they discover that they have hearts, and that hearts have habit of getting in the way of schemes like theirs.
 After a series of Surprising de- velopments the story ends on a ten- der note, with the daughter joy ously reunited with her young Scot, the son Douglas Fairbanks, Jr) happy with lovely young secretary Gin the person of Paulette Goddard who has made him forget his search for an heiress, and the "Sahib" (Ro- land Young) and 'Marmy" Billie Burke) happier-and more useful than they'd ever dreamed of being.

He bets every thing he has on horse that comes in and with his winnings buys a "swap-shop" True to his word, Bing sends for his family, and true to his former habits lets them ar rive to find that he has traded his "swap-shop' for a racehorse of du- bious talents.
