Foreign War Vets Will
Assist Recruiting Service

MissouIa, August 26.-In the
interest of national defense, the
Veterans of Foreign Wars of
Montana will join forces with
that of the Montana Recruiting
Service during the month of Sep
TENDER in what is destined to be
one of the most extensive peace
time recruiting efforts ever at
tempted in the state, it was an
nounced today by Lieutenant
Colonel w. G. Dockum, Army
Recruiting Officer for Montana.
Colonel Dockum and the Mon
tana recruiting service will be
assisted in the campaign by L.
B. Waters, state commander, and
members of all the Veterans of
Foreign War posts in the state.
The purpose of this campaign,
Colonel Dockum stated, is not
only to secure eligible young men
for the service, but also to better
acquaint fathers and mothers.
and others interested, on what
the United States Army of today
really is. what it stands for, its
necessity and of the opportunity
it affords the youth of this coun-
try. In this connection, Colone!
Dockum added, the young man
who enlists today does not join
the service with the dreaded pic
ture of a battlefield on his mind
but just the contrary. The
young man who joins the colors
today is doing his part in filling
up the wide gaps in our national
defense barrier, and at the same
time while performing this hon.
orable duty, he is learning for
himself a worthwhile occupation.
the Colonel added.
Colonel Dockum also stated
that each Veterans of Foreign
War post is being supplied with
literature AID information so that
members will be in a position to
assist and give out first hand in
formation on the Army to those
interested. Members will also
be kept Informed from day to
day of vacanies that exist in the
various branches of the service
and this information will be
available to the public in general.
Members of each post have been
authorized to accept applicants
for enlistment and forward them
by government transportation to
Fort Missoula for final examina-
ton and enlistment, Colonel
Dockum concluded.

Browning Telephone Company
Sold To Randall A. Manuel

On Monday of this week the
Browning Telephone Company,
principally owned by Geo. o. Bar
ger and Edwin EIsethagen fami-
ly was sold to R. A. Manuel, son
of e. K. Manuel of Browning.
Mr.. r. A. Manuel has been resid.
ing in Sunburst Montana where
he has been employed as elec-
trlrlan for The international Re-
finery.
The sale and the subsequent re-
novel of the Barger and Elsetha-
gen family to KaIispell will re-
move from our town one of our
oldest families in point of resi-
dence in Browning. The Brown
ing Telephone plant was purchas-
ed by the Bargers and EIsetha-
gems in September 1929, since
that time, the population of our
town has doubled and the TeIe-
phone plant has kept step with
the increase in population and
consequent demand for increased
and more efficient telephone SER
vice.
Those CT the town who have
lived here for that period of time
will remember the run down and
dilapidateG property of which
this plant and its offices consisted
back in 1929 when they took pos
session of it. Steadily since that
time they have worked to i'm.
prove both the plant and the pro.
perty owned by the company, I'M
til at the present it is one of the
finest Handicapped properties in
the town.
We join the people of town in
regret that we must lose this
public spirited family from our
midst, but wish to offer to the
new purchaser our best wishes
for his success in our town.

Aliens Must Register at
Cut Bank Post0ffice

Postmaster Telifero has noti-
fled the Chief that he has speci-
men forms for alien registration.
These forms are available to all
aliens in this district. The regis
tration must be made at the Cut
Bank postoffice.
Such registration is compul-
sorry. A specific act of congress.
the alien registration act of 194G,
requires all aliens to register
during the official registration
period, Aug. 81 to Dec. 26. All
aliens of IA years or over must
he finger-printed as a part of the
registration. Alien children un-
der IA must be registered By
their parents or guardians. but
will not be finger-printed. A fine
of $1,000 and Imprisonment for
six months is prescribed by this
law for failure to register, for
refusal to be finger-printed. or
for making false registration
statements.
There is nothing harmful or
offensive to law abiding aliens in
the registration said the post
master. There is no reason why
being finger-printed under terms
of this law should be repugnant
to anyone. 1t is no reflection upon
citizenship. 1t is merely a precau-
tionary measure which the gov
eminent feels necessary in con-
nection with national defense.
All records will be held secret
and confidential and will be made
available only to such persons as
may be designated with the ap-
proval of the attorney general of
the United States"

Willkie Glad
Issues Clear
Nominee Expected
F. R. as Opponent

COLORADO SPRINGS. COlo.-
Wendell L. Willkie, as the Republic
can presidential nominee. welcomed
today the issue of a campaign
against a third term for President
Roosevelt and continuance of the
New Deal.
IL am greatly gratified." he said.
1t ought to be a great campaign"
Willkie was attending a perform
ance Of the operetta, The Bar
tered Bride" at Central City. Colo,
when the news of Mr.. Roosevelt's
overwhelming draft. reached him.
Willkie left Immediately after the
performance for his vacation head
quarters at Colorado Springs.
Issues Clear Cut
we will have presented TO the
voters of the country the issues
which have been created by the
New Deal, advocated for the New
Deal by the author and ablest ad-
vocate Of that philosophy. and the
directing force of the New Deal
practices" he said. in a formal
statement.
IN addition, the American voters
will have their first opportunity
to pass upon the question of third
term. Other presidents have as
pired to third term, but that issue
heretofore has been determined in
the negative by political conven-
tons. In this election, the voters
themselves will have the opportu-
nifty to pass upon the doctrine of
the indispensability of one man and
the sanctity of our two-term ira
dition.
People TO Determine
The issues are fundamental and
important which the people must
and should determine. I hope I
may be able to do my part in their
adequate presentation"
Willkie had predicted long be-
fore the Democratic convention
that Mr.. Roosevelt would be re-
nominated and that he would &C.
cept. He had indicated that the
of any other New Deal
er would simply becloud the issue,
since he could disavow specific
Roosevelt policies under attack.
