is not quite accurate as far as the
NYA students are concerned. Some
thing like 125 of them go "home" every
day to the old high school on Lawrence
street, now a complete dormitory hotel,
and there put in four more hours Of
subsistence work. But that is another
story, and a good one.
The Helena Aeronautics and Re-
lated Trades school, like the biblical
mustard seed, grew into tree from
small beginnings Ten years ago it
began as q class for vocational train
ing, as an adjunct to the regular high
school instruction. Today it is still
under the supervision Of the Helena
school board, in particular Payne Tenn
pleton, superintendent Of Helena
schools. The public school system has
financed the purchase OF nearly all
the equipment with which the school
Is furnished.
Uncle Sam Pays Costs
OF course just now Uncle Sam Is
paying the running expenses admin
istration, teaching salaries, overhead,
breakage and materials used. The cost
Of acetylene alone runs to SIS q day,
and the total cost per month is some
where between $1,000 and 5000.
There are seven departments: Air
craft, which includes courses in fabri-
cation, engines and mechanics; ma
chine shop, with special training on
various types of lathes and other ma
chimes; welding, acetylene and electric
arc, with training In all types of cut
ting and welding, and burning; sheet
metal, both aircraft and commercial;
radio, with a supplementary electri-
cian-helper course; pattern making,
and drafting.
Each department is stated with
competent instructors, % in all The
cost of tuition Is nothing.
How does one get in? Each trainee
must contact his local office of the
Montana employment service and reg
lister for training. This application is
forwarded to the administrative office
Of the Montana employment service
at Helena where the applicants speci-
fications Of education, physical condi-
ton, and other factors are checked
for approval or disapproval. Over 30
percent of registrations are approved.
the registrant Is notified
that he win be called by his local Of
flee as soon as there is a vacancy at
the school IN the course he has elected.
The waiting period may be q couple
Of days, q couple of weeks, or even
q couple of months. But the day comes
when the applicant Is called to his
local office and given referral card
TO the Helena employment office. In
Helena he must go to the employment
office and get another referral card,
which admits him to the school.
Ages from IS to 40
The age limits for trainees are the
same as those appearing on employers
specifications, usually IS to 40. How

ever, the shipyards are accepting men
up to As. and inasmuch as the Helena
school trains for both aircraft and
shipbuilding, a man over 30 might be
accepted if he we're pointed toward a
shipbuilding job.
A trainee, unless he has an NYA
grant must provide his own subsis-
tence. He cannot draw unemployment
compensation while going to school.
The WPA, however, is referring men
for training and paying the usual
grants as though men we're working
on WPA projects. Board and room In
Helena cost about what they do any
where in the state, depending on the
kind. One or two organizations, like
the American Legion, are helping
trainees who are without sufficient
funds. A trainee should have in hand
or in early prospect at least $50 before
coming to Helena. He not only must
live while training but have railroad
fare to Seattle and enough to get by
on until his first pay check.
The school is located at the airport,
two miles out of Helena Most trainees
catch a ride with friends, II they
haven't their own cars
It's a going concern, this Helena
school, providing the same kind Of
training that costs high tuition in pri-
vate schools. Trainees come from all
over the state, but the essential point
is that no one should come expecting
to the school who has not
a referral card from his local employ
ment agency. Positively no one win be
accepted without a proper referral
card. Not a few have come to Helena
from a considerable distance, only to
learn that they have to return home
and wait their turn.

Snake RiUer Project

E. v. Berg, Idaho commissioner Of
reclamation, visualized the proposed
Snake river navigation project as lone
of the greatest possible moves for
future development of Idaho's re-
sources"
Berg said the cheap transportation
provided by the project would open

mineral, forest and farm products.
Combined with cheap power, this
project would be the making of the
state Of Idaho" Berg declared. It
would also be Of great benefit in de-
veloping Montana, Oregon and Wash

route penetrating untapped resources
Of the northwest.

At every tournament you are sure to see some player of in a corner, muttering to himself over a hand, Well, maybe I am wrong. Nobody else would bid club" You will always see players running around with hand written on the back of a score card, asking What would you bid on this hand?"
 When you tell them what you would bid, they start an argument, so my answer always is, What would YOU bid On it?"
 Here is one hand that caused lots of arguments as to what to bid originally. At the tables where the bidding started with one club and ended in three no trump, West opened hearts. After the seven Of hearts lead. the defense cashed Ave tricks at once.
 With the queen of hearts open. Ing, some defenders gave declarer his contract by letting the teia-spot make. One Wegt player. after the three top honors had gone on the first trick and c return lead had been won by hls seven, had the Iron nerve 10 switch to diamonds. East thus got ln for Q second heart lead and the contract was set.
 Where South opened tho bidding with one heart, West did not open the suit against no trump. Do. elaref made game beoauno on the parade of eight black tricks, Wet did not guess that ho must diecard diamonds Instead of hearts.

 Leafy, green, and yellow-col- ored vegetables, tomatoes, and the citrus fruits are among the most highly valued of all vegetables and fruits for vitamins and min- erals.

doesn't expect to get everything within a few days. Right now, she knows pretty well what she wants for spring. Long before the stores are crowded with Easter shoppers she will have spent a great deal of time tracking down the best clothes available at what she can afford to spend.
 Meanwhile she will not have for- gotten that the better her figure, the more becoming the new clothes will be. She thinks that it makes more sense for a woman to devote lot. of time for six months to get- ting rid of bulges than to go on, year after year, constantly search ing for clothes to conceal or mini mize the bulges.
 FIFTEEN MINUTES
 EVERY SINGLE DAY
 If she decides to take of a roll here, bulge there, she admits frankly to herself that this again is more a matter of time than of money. She knows that the de luxe, practically painless way to reduce is to go to a figure salon to be mas Saged and to do exercises under the watchful. sympathetic eye of an ex- ercise expert.
 However, since her budget won't allow for any such luxury, she makes up her mind to do exercises at home for fifteen minutes every single day. Rain or shine, company or no company, she does special routines to correct her figure de- fectS for fifteen minutes every day. In addition, she sticks to diet-a sane, non-starvation one. of course
 but diet nevertheless. At the end of six months, she no longer has bulges to worry about.

 Those figures ought to be a warn ing to the girl who believes that it is no longer necessary for a wo- man to be homemaker, and that man today would rather have a wife who can talk to him about in- ternational affairs than one who can make him hurry home to meals.
 No matter how good her brain, or how varied her interests, the girl who wants to marry (and al- most all girls dol needs to know how to run house, get a good meal on the table, and make a man comfortable at home.

 Nope. When they get ready to settle down they look for girls who don't turn up their noses at homemaking. And they find them Even if they have to take the pre- caution of marrying girls who majored in home economies - just to be sure they are getting real honest -to-goodness home makers.
