ODES MONIES, Ia. - When a
friend lay in the hospital re-
covering from an appendectomy
and suffering from hay fever,
Elsa Neumann knew what to
do. Mindful of his hay fever,
she sent him a bouquet of arti-
fetal flowers - sneezeproof.

Recent rescues by the United Stotes
Coast Guard remind US that il quietly
renders on invaluable service in the
performance Of its duty. 1t may be
because Of circumstances beyond their
control, or it may be because Of fouIty
human calculations. just plain i9no-
rance or neglect. that ships and men
find themselves in dire need Of imme-
diote help. Whatever the reasons. the
Coast Guard never pouses to determine
them. II never withhoIds for one mo-
ment the fullest effort. II never stops
to ask: How did they get into this?
The hearty lads Of the Coost Guard
would never soy so, but in this they
pottern divine compassion. The saving
power of God is available, instantly.
in every situation to those who put
their trust in Him. Obviously there have
been foIse calculations, errors Of judge
rent, ignorance. ond just plain neg
lect. But to stress these in this mo-
ment would be about as helpful as
throwing on anchor to O drowning
man. To soy that q world at war is but
suffering the consequences Of its own
sin would be O logical deduction. Yet
there is meanwhile q rescue tosk..
For thot, the world needs more will
inoness to help, more institutions that
potssrn the divine compassion, more
men octino with the assurance that
His presence. power, and love ore ever
ovoilobIe to oil who turn understand
in0Iy to Him in trouble.

Other suggested temporary storage
methods include: Old buildings that
can be made weather-tight and grain

braced, board panels shaped into bins
and covered, fence corners having
strong posts that can be sided up
and two additional sides constructed

Experiment station workers empha-
size that these are only temporary
expediSnts to tide the producer over
until permanent and approved types
of storage can be had. The important
thing now, they say, is to protect the
grain against loss by weather damage.
A number of factors combine to
make the storage situation critical
this year. First, there is the large
carryover of wheat from last year;
second, weather conditions fastened
Montana's harvesting season and
caught some farmers unprepared for
storage; third, terminal storage space
is at such premium that the rail-
roads have issued limited embargo
on shipments of grain to terminals;
fourth, Montana is not only harvest
ing large crop but harvest time here
comes at the end of the season for
the remainder of the country and con-
sequently Montana grain gets in last
on terminal storage facilities.
