Hunting Mishdps

According to a compilation
made by the Montana Fish and
Game department, at least six
persons lost their lives in hunt
ing accidents during the big
game and bird seasons this

all fatalities were the result OF
mishaps which took place when
hunters were riding in cars or
cleaning weapons.
About a half-dozen persons
we're seriously injured by acct
dentally discharged guns and

Urged To Enroll
Inc. Here

Robert Kruger of the Big
Horn County Department OF
Public Welfare announced this
week that as yet the CCC quo
ia for Big Horn county for the
January enrolment has not
been filled.
All young men are urged to
get in touch with the local well
fare office in order to receive
information on the CCC. Mr..
Kruger again pointed out that
the activities of the Corps In
reforestion, fighting fire and in
sects, soil constellation, and
the development of reservoirs,
springs, water holes and range
lands will give the CCC enrol
lee study and experience in
connection with problems OF
national Importance.
Of late, Mr.. Kruger added,
the attention of the country
has been centered on national
defense. The CCC contribution
at present comes largely
through the training of young
men in the operation and main
tenance of mechanical equip
ment, radio communications
and other useful defense activ-
tiles. The CCC trains radio men,
mechanics, cooks, truck drivers,
tractor operators, Photographic
developers, and clerks. 1t has
also taught enrollees how to
build bridges, roads, dams and
other vital defense aids.
Because of the lack of en-
ployment locally, Mr.. Kruger
once more urges that all young
men between the ages of IT
and "a avail themselves of the
opportunity to enroll in the
CCC.

Hoover Predicts Nations
And Races Will Rise Aqoin

NEW YORK, Dec. 7 (P1.-Former
President Herbert Hoover, address,
ing a matinee audience at the
Metropolitan Opera House today,
predicted that races and nations
will rise again, sanctified by their
ordeal"
Great races do not die from
oppression, Mr.. Hoover said. There
is more to nations than their soil,
their cities, their wealth and even
their governments.
There is a soul in nations. 1t
is steeled in their sufferings. They
may be held by armies; they may
be oppressed; they may be i'm
poverished. But the soul of peo-
pie can not be crushed. From that,
their national life and their inde-
pendence will rise again and again
even from the ashes of their homes. -
Mr.. Hoover said that something
even more formidable than war
and conquest unrolls in Europe and
Asia-a sinister revolt against a
civilization based upon liberty and
religious faith-a laying waste the
moral and spiritual structures OF
mankind"
Here alone in the New World re-
mains the air which creative minds
must breathe said Mr.. Hoover.
Here alone remain free speech, free
thought, free press, free worship

Draft Officials
Can't Answer
Police Chief

Maj. Ernest w. Brown, superin-
tendent Of metropolitan police, has
sought to find out at National Selec-
tive Service headquarters how many
Of the younger members of his force
are likely to be drafted for military
training, it was learned yesterday.
But nobody could tell him, since
1t is up to each local selective serv-
ice board to decide every mans
availability for service individually.
Maj. Brown was informed, how
ever. that the boards have ample au-
thority to defer the military service
of a policeman or a fireman on voca-
tional grounds-to mold that he is a
necessary" man in his civilian oc-
cupation-if they choose, though
it's strictly up to them. The selec-
tive service law provides for no
group deferments, except in the case
of certain public officials. There are
no vocational exemptions by groups.

Miss Perkins Sees
Challenge 10 Youth
In Technology
Secretary Of Labor
Speaks at St. AIbons'
Church Meeting

There is vast opportunity for the
youth Of 1910 to build better
society. Secretary of Labor Perkins
last night told the Clerical Union
for the Maintenance and Defense
of Catholic Principles, in an ad-
dress following supper at st.
Adams Church last night. The
supper concluded a one-day youth
conference on "You," the morning
session of which was held in ST.
Agnes Episcopal Church, 46 @
street NV.
She told her audience that the
problems of the Dust Bowl were the
problems of youth. and cannot be
evaded She said the Nation cannot
in Justice decline to educate these
people, because they are the victims
Of circumstances. Americans must
concentrate on society as a whole
she said, and realize that the most
adverse circumstances can be con-
quered by the power of faith.
The Secretary of Labor said there
is nothing wrong with technology
today, but that the people are afraid
of organized mass production. Young
people, she said, must study how
to bring modern technology under
control. She said that men who
work at mass production do not
hate the tools they work with; on
the other hand, they like them.
Referring to the movie, The
Grapes of Wrath" Miss Perkins said
people were fascinated by it be-
cause they recognized in it people
that were their brothers and sisters,
and they wanted to help.
Miss Perkins was introduced by
Rev. Richard T. Loring, rector of
st. David's Church, Baltimore.
The conference was attended by

hope to smooth the way for local
and appeal boards, examining ply
sician and medical boards, thus
speeding up the process of recruiting
a citizen army. The conference was
called by C. A. Dykstra, director of
Selective service.
Selective Service and the War De-
partment are cooperating to carry
out the expressed and implied terms
of the law providing that there
shall be no discrimination because
of race or color" it was pointed out
yesterday.
The Army is providing equal facil-
tiles for white and colored selectees,
said Col William H. Draper, jr.,
War Department liaison officer at
selective service headquarters. For
lack of facilities, the number of
colored youths sent to camps in
January will be small. he explained,
probably not more than $500. but
this is to be increased to $4,000
during February.

Tribute to Volunteers.
Tribute to the patriotism to the
approximately $4,000 civilian volun-
teers who are serving the selective
service system without pay was ex-
pressed by Maj Daniel E. Gould
of national headquarters.
These volunteers - including an
estimated 10000 members of local
draft boards, their $500 medical
examiners; 1900 members of appeal
boards, 10000 on advisory boards and
1000 medical consultants are max
ing possible the swift and prompt
mobilization of defense man power,
he pointed out.
The far-flung personnel of this
organization Maj. Gould compared
to IAN army that is not mobiliZed
and never will be, but an army en-
gagged in a work of unselflsh devotion
and giving every ounce of its energy
and all of its wisdom for the benefit
of a common cause"
