WARNS AGAINST
FAKE MESSAGES

Relatives of men reported
killed, wounded, Or missing in
action should be extremely care
full not to answer with money
any kilograms which appear to
come from a Navy man or Of
ficer on the main land, the 18th
naval district warned today. The
announcement stated that there
have been a number of instan-
ceS of fraud in this regard.
The announcement went on
to state, Some of these tele-
grams have been valid, mas
much as there have been in
stances where those purported
killed, wounded, Or missing
have been so reported in error.
However, without relinquishing
hope in these matters, the reci-
pient of the telegram should
make reasonable effort to as
certain the identity of the send
er or to have the telegraph COM
panies authenticate his iden-
tity."

the members of Hardin Post No.
8 of the American Legion de-
cided to sponsor a scrap metal
pile in Hardin, and perhaps in

ough quantity has been gath
cred to make a shipment direct

Anyone wishing to donate
scrap metals such as steel, iron,
brass, copper and old batteries
and tires may bring them to the
pile.
Proceeds from the sale of the
metals will be administered by
the Legion post and particularly
set aside for use in connection
with needs for relief for men
and women now in the armed
forces and their dependents.
The proceeds will not be used
for any other purpose except
that those funds not Immediate
ly needed may be invested in
bonds until they are needed, a
Legion spokesman stated.
1t was also decided that the
Legion would act as a clearing
house for All clubs, the Boy
Scouts and other organizations
that are collecting materials OF

known lecturer on national

teachers of the Hardin grade
school Tuesday afternoon.
DR.. Olson'S talk was illustrated
by natural color photographs
projected on the screen.

kota, portions of Glacier in

has made national parks a hob
by study and has given picture
talks about them throughout
the country for the past Is
years, "only glimpses of these
wonderlands of creation can be
given, but we hope they serve
to create greater interest and
fuller appreciation of our great
America, and if America is
worth defending, it is worth
knowing"
According to present plans,
DR.. Olson will return in the fall
to give another picture talk be-
fore the grade school and jun
ior and senior high school stu
dents.

High|ights from
the Latest Books

Censors will wear out their
pencils on it. some critics will
acclaim it the "novel of tie
year." some critics may ban its
sale, but nobody will be an iso-
lationist so far as Breathe the
Air Again" (Harper: $2.75) is
concerned.
Such hin IS are what get
novels talked about and the
more they are talked about the
more they sell, which should
make most everyone, and espe-
cially the author, Ward Moore,
very happy-much happier in
deed than his teen-age hero, ST.
mon Epstein.
Moore has written what the
publisher calls "a picturesque
novel of our times" and plea
resques it is, but also an attempt
to blast the complacency of the
Coolidge prosperity era when ev-
erything was so bright and right
before the financial and interna-
tional crash.
Simon leaves home to see the
country before finishing high
school and what he sees and ex-
periences makes him think he is
a Communist, or at least very
left Socialist, although he admits
he would be quite regular poll
tically if he had the money. His
adventures as a common laborer
tramp, labor agitator, farm hand
and his fumbling attempts at ro-
nance with a housemaid, Green
witch Village-minded daughter OF
the rich and an Oklahoma farm
widow form the basis of the
story.
Some may compare breathe
the Air Again" with Grapes OF
WRATH" but Moore fails to chisel
his characters so finely as John
Steinbeck nor does his story
move with the grim futility that
marked the trek of the Joads.
But Moore certainly knows
whereof he writes, for his char
actcrs talk and act in character
and not like something out OF
the second picture at a double
feature One exception to this
may be Doctor Fasm (Fascism?) },
the holding company genius who
would foreclose the mortgage on
his own mother. Also some OF
Moore's buns, low fellows and
labor leaders seem a little toe
pure in purpose.
Here, however. is a novel you
won't soon forget Lecausc even
in wartime IL will shock grea,
many people.

HOLLYWOOD, Feb. 20
Having escaped a month-long
siege of pneumonia, Peggy
Drake was back at the studio
and 1.-The Tuttles of Tahiti was
resuming where it had left off.
While idle between scenes, the
dark-eyed, curvesome 20-year-
old actress sat on the set and
talked animatedly. Called for
work, she'd slip out of a red
silk robe, kick off her slippers,
pattcr across the sound stage
barefoot in a nightgown and
climb into a big bed.
The job was not concession
to Miss brakes convalescence.
In fact, the sequence was more
difficult than most. When her
movie mother, Florence Bates,
came in and awakened her, Miss
Drake stretched sinuously and
became starry-eyed as she told
OF a pleasantly realistic dream
she had had-of how Chester
zion Hall) had come into her
room.
PERFECTLY LEGAL
"And I remember so clearly
how he took me in his arms and
kissed me. Then he said, You
are my wife, Tamara, and no
thing in the world can keep us
apart" :. And-and that's all
/ remember of my dream"
Miss Bates, folding some
clothing on a chair, replied: 1T
was a won-n-n-derful dream, all
right! Only the next time you
have that dream, remind Chester
to take his hat with him. And
she tossed a blue beret on the
pillow.
1t was quite a scene, but per-
