Japanese Cant Win,
Adviser 10 Chianq
Says in Talk Here
Dr.. Shepherd Praises
Gen. and Nine. Chang
As Typical Leaders

Citing Generalissimo and Nine.
Chang Kai-shek as typical leaders
in China's New Life Movement" !"
the Rev. George A. Shepherd, Far
Eastern missionary and adviser to
Chang Kai-shek. asserted here yes
terday that the Chinese no-sur-
render policy is so firmly entrenched
that Japan cannot win its war in
China no matter how many battles
may go in the invaders favor.
There Is not single Chinese
leader" DR.. Shepherd declared in an
address before the Washington
Church Committee on China Relief,
meeting at the Y. w. c. A., who has
the respect of his people, who has
gone over to the Japanese. Like
their general, they are resolute and
loyal"
Gen. Chang Kai-shek never gives
reply to critics, DR.. Shepherd said
ut is for history to interpret what
We do" the speaker quoted the gen.
eral as telling him, 1T is our job
simply to do"
There is not the slightest danger
that the Chinese leader will become
a Communist or Fascist, DR.. Shep-
herd said, because of his stability of
character and because he believes
firmly in a strong, independent
China, with its government in the
hands of the people and with an OBJ
Jective OF improvement of people of
all classes within the existing social
framework.
The missionary adviser was loud
IN his praises Of Nine. Chang Kali
shek. Through her efforts, he said,
10000 homeless Chinese children
have been placed In institutions OF
300 to 500 each far in the interior,
safe from Japanese bombing squad
rons; she labors tirelessly to aid
100000 homeless countrymen.

Assembly OF the Church of Christ

Good Hygiene is Best
"POLiO" Protection.

Only LIP cases of poliomyelitis were
reported in the United States last year
and the rate was only 1.3 cases for each
100000 population. This rate is the
lowest reported in the United States
since 1915, according to recent figures
from the United States Public Health
Service. 1t is cited in a bulletin to
parents on polio" issued by the Mime
sofa State Medical associations COM
mittee on public health education to-
day. Minnesota's case rate was only
1.6 for each 100000 population, accord
ing to the bulletin. 1.-The disease is
known to be infectious but 1t is much
less infectious than measles or scarlet
fever and, even in epidemic years, the
number of cases is much smaller than
the number annually reported of
measles and whooping cough.
"Epidemics appear to go in cycles"
the doctors say. "They appear, char
acteristically in the summer and fall,
but it is impossible to predict just when
or where an unusual number of cases
will occur. It is also impossible, in
the present state of knowledge about
the disease, to provide any protection
in the way of a serum of vaccine to
prevent the disease"
Parents are therefore advised in this
bulletin to follow the usual rules of
hygiene that assist in protecting child
rem from all diseases and to remember,
for their comfort, that most people
never contract the form of the disease
that leaves residual paralysis al
though many people, by the time they
are grown, appear to acquire a natural
immunity to the disease The theory
that many of the typical illnesses of
late summer are really abortive and
benign attacks of the disease which
confer immunity but do not cripple, is
held by many researchers as an ex-
PLANTATION of that fact.
In any case, all children should be
kept away from sick people, the bulle-
tin warns, as general rule of health.
If they are i'll themselves, they should
be put to bed promptly no matter what
is wrong so that, if the trouble should
be polio, they may have the best pos
sible chance to recover without after
effects.

SNOW FLOWING
RATES liked
Doubled Over Fees Charged
Last Winter Because of
Losses Last Year.

Rates for blowing snow from private
roads and driveways were doubled over
those charged during 1938-39 by the ST.
Louis county commissioners in session
last week.
During the coming winter 81 will be
charged for the first 20 minutes work,
81 per trip on any road requiring 20
to 40 minutes work, and Sc per trip for
40 to 60 minutes work
Losses sustained last winter in clear
ing private roads motivated the hike
in fees. The new rates become effective

stitution would naturally set aside
the amount due Keeney until the
matter was settled by the courts. 1t
is apparent that Simmons does not
operate the University in a business
like manner for there is no money
available now to pay him as the
supreme court ordered.
Again we might state that the
recommendation CD for Simmons
from his former employer must have
been right when it said, 'Mr. Sim
mons has no administrative expert
ence that would make him valuable
for the position he seeks"
Last week the Montana Review
published the enrolment figures for
the state college at Bozeman and the
state University at Missoula which
shows that the Bozeman enrolment
is jumping by leaps and bounds while
the Missoula enrolment is lower
now than it was in 1885 and '36.
This all bears out the statements
made by H. o. Ekern in his minority
report to the last Legislature.
Ekern, in summing up what should
be done at the University, said in
speaking of running the institution
in a harmonious fashion, said in
part: 81 do not believe this can be
done by the continuation of DR..
Simmons as president"
This statement conceded with a
statement made in one recommends
ton by a former associate of Sim
mons when he said: His ~insincerity
however, loses friends almost as
rapidly as he makes them, so that
cannot say that he wears well. As
far as I know, he has left every
previous position under accusations
of intrigue and disloyalty. -

rate of rs cents. For each ST worth
of orange stamps bought, the family
will receive so cents worth of blue
stamps free. With the orange stamps
the housewife may buy any COM
modify on sale at any grocery store
participating in the plan. With the
blue stamps, the housewife may
get free any commodity which has
been put on the surplus commodi-
ties list by Secretary Wallace of the
department of agriculture. The
stamps will be bought in books and
the maximum amount which one
family can purchase will be deter
mined.
Merchants redeem the stamps at
full value through banks, which in
turn redeem them through the U. S.
treasury. When a merchant has So
worth of stamps, he may exchange
them for good old U. S. currency.
The Food Stamp Plan has been a
tremendous success in every place it
has been tried. It has not only
served to give the needy unemployed
and WPA workers more food and a
bette r-balanced diet, but it has slim
ulated the sales of the local grocers.
The average total weekly food sales
among retail stores generally in
Rochester located in low-income
areas was reported IL per cent high
er in the first nine weeks of the
program than in the four weeks pre-
ceding the launching of the Food
Stamp Plan. These stores in these
neighborhoods sold % per cent more
butter and five per cent more eggs
in this period, Secretary Wallace re-
vealed. Flour sales increased 81 per
cent and prune purchases 46 per
cent. The value Of orange and blue
stamps bought in July in Seattle
was 500, 154. OF this sum, $45, 578
was spent for blue stamps. This
means that this amount was the ex-
ira trade which the Food Stamp Plan
brought to the Seattle merchants
participating in the program.
The Food Stamp Plan is available
to Great Falls if the local merchants,
unemployed and WPA workers,
farmers and the public generally
will do their part to convince Secre-
tary Wallace that there is sufficient
support in the community to war
rant launching Of the plan there. The
Workers Alliance is ready to assume
their share of the responsibility in
this effort, but one group alone can
not carry the entire load. The plan
needs your support
