TO AN OVERSEAS M

Renaissance concerning over
seas service men who are alumni
of Hardin high school brings a
picture of John Macleod who
graduated with the class of 40.
After his graduation, Johnny
volunteered to serve with the
Army air corps in the Philli-
pines. He was first stationed at
Clark field in Pampanga Prov
ince and later was transferred to
Nichols field at Manila.
If Johnny were to visit school
today, he would probably be sur
prised to find so many new
teachers on the faculty, but he
would enjoy talking over old
times with Dean Salyer or Mr.
Thompson.
MI. Salyer stated that, al
though Johnny was a little mis-
chievious at times, his person.
atty made him a great favorite
with everyone When he was
senior, Johnny was sports editor
of the Big Horn, and he was
voted the best dancer in his
class. His activities show john
ny's desire to be doing some
thing worthwhile, and because
he possessed these qualities, MI.
Salyer feels that Johnny is
making a good soldier and that
any Jap would have a great
deal Of difficulty walking over
Johnny.

LODGE GRASS SCHOOL
PLANS FOR CHRISTMAS

The Christmas program given
by the Lodge Grass school Will
be held on Saturday, December
10, at the high school gym. 1t
will begin at one fifteen In the
afternoon. It is expected to last
for about two and one half
hours. The first four grades will
present an operetta. The four
upper grades will present a
pageant and the glee club of the
high school will give a musical.
Because of the gasoline ration
it was decided to have the pro-
gram in the afternoon instead of
in the evening as has been the
rule in the past. BY so doing
the country people who would
probably be in town for their
Saturday afternoon shopping
would have an opportunity to
see the program. The buses will
run to bring the children in on
Saturday morning as there will
be school in the morning and
the program in the afternoon.
They will also run in the after
noon to take the children home
after the program. There will
be school on Monday and Tues
day, closing Tuesday evening for
the Christmas vacation. The
Lodge Grass schools will reopen
again on Monday, January 4,
the first Monday after the new
year.
The Lodge Grass teachers
have made the following plans
for their Christmas vacation.
Miss Morton expects to remain
here. Mr.. and Mrs. McDougle
will be in Billings for the holi-
days, and Miss Soderquest will
spend her vacation at Hobson.
Mrs. Goe expects to be at her
ranch home and Miss Baker will
spend her vacation in Billings.
Miss Feisel will travel to Oregon
for the Christmas holidays. Mr.,
and Mrs. McVay will remain in
Lodge Grass and Mr.. and Mrs,
johnson expect to be in Living
ston for the Christmas holidays
Miss Meckleberg and Miss
Sampson will be in Billings

Of INTEREST TO ALL GIRLS

Your school is what you make
it. Your school is rated accord
ing to the way the students act
and, in some cases, the way
they dress. One of these cases
is the wearing of Stacks. For this
season, and this is not the only
one, the student council is urg-
ing all girls to refrain from
wearing Stacks and overallS.
There are only two acceptable
excuses and these are: % No
other clothing is available; (2)
Extremely cold weather, and
this applies only to the rural
girls.

CHRISTMAS - 1912

Cf1(G1S xNlEAS 1JtS
What do you want for Christ
mas? If al. our personal wants
were put together, the results
would be quite varied, but there
are several things that we
would all include on our gen
eral" list of wants. First, we de-
sire a complete and soon forth
coming Allied victory, followed
by world peace for an indef-
mite number OF years to come.
Then, we want happiness,
friends, and security, for what
is life without those? So, ii
Santa isn't quite as liberal in
filling your stocking this year
as you had hoped he would be,
perhaps he intends to give you
a larger share of those gen
eral' wants. You'd be getting
the best of the bargain after
all!

HAVE YOU BOUGHT YOURS?

Each year at this time we are
called upon to do a small favor.
It is only a little service to do
but the Joy it creates and the
suffering it relieves makes it
more than worth your while. It
is the buying of Christmas seals.
Christmas seals are the only
means of financing the fight
against tuberculosis. They are
the last hope of the thousands
who are afflicted with this di-
sease. These thousands are de-
pending on our generosity. Are
we, the students of Hardin high
school, going to let them down?
The Hardin tribune-herald. [volume] (Hardin, Mont.) 1925-1973, 1942-12-17

People are saying that Christ
mas is going to be different this
year from what it has ever been
in the last twenty-five years.
We think that Christmas this
year is going to be very dark,
but Christmas is what we make
it. If we sit and brood over our
losses, it will be truly a dark
day, but if we can rejoice in
the One who came on that first
Christmas to restore order from
chaos, it will be the happiest
Christmas season of our whole
lives.

Giant X-Ray
for School

ROCHESTER, N. y, Dec. II
-(P)-A giant million-volt in
dustrial X-ray machine, capable
of disclosing defects in thick
metal castings in a matter OF
minutes, soon will be in opera
ton at the University of Roches-
ter.
The machine, described as one
of the "most powerful in the
world" is being installed with
the cooperation of eight local
industrial firms, which will
share its facilities.
President Alan Valentine OF
the university, pointing out
that the machines value is not
limited to war production, de-
clared it would play an i'm
portant role on new processes
and new products in the post
war era"
Robert E Frederickson, vice
president of one of the collabo-
rating firms, asserted, that
prior to recent developments,
the most powerful x-ray equip
ment operated at 100000 colts.
He described the apparatus,
housed in a special building OF
extra-thick concrete walls, as
completely shockproof." Heavy
castings will be moved inside the
X-ray room by a lotion over
head crane.

The Senate lineup for the

Rambling s of opposition to
many New Deal policies were
heard in the dying days of the

tually certain that the Republi-
cans, aided by anti-New Deal
Democrats, could stop any New
Deal legislation and, if they
wished, wipe off the books some
statutes already there.
Facing the new Congress,
among other things, is the task
of financing war against six ma
tons. This presaged bitter fights
over new taxes and appropria-
tons, and already underway was
a determined drive to slash all
OUTLAWS for non-war purposes.
Developing also was a fight
over the powers of government

WASHINGTON, Dec. 17-R
The 77th Congress was home
ward bound today after almost
two years of continuous work
during which 1t inscribed on the
pages of history some of the
most momentous legislative acts
since the nation was born.
Adjournment was taken with
out fanfare late yesterday with
only a handful of members on
hand to make and hear the Gus
tomary hail and farewell
speeches.
Most members had left Wash
ington days ago for a three
weeks rest before returning on
Jan. 6 to launch the 18th Con-
gress on a legislative voyage
that promises to be as stormy as
its predecessors.
For more than 100 members,
yesterdays lacklustre session
brought an end to legislative ca
reers, some of brief duration
and others, like that of the vet
eran Senator George Norris of
Nebraska, of long standing.
Many observers viewed the
adjournment as beginning of a
new phase in the fortunes of the
New Deal, for the new Con-
gress will number among its
members the largest array of
non-New Dealers since Frank
lin D. Roosevelt became presi-
dent ten years ago.
The November elections
sharply shook the legislative
balance. In contrast to the 262
Democrats and 1855 Republicans
who started in the House of the
18th Congress, there will be 222
Democrats and 208 Republicans

Newspaper
Strike is

NEW YORK, Dec. II Up
The presses of New York S
newspapers roared full blast to-
day as the delivery strike which
had kept the newsstands nearly
bare since Sunday night came
to an end.
Most of the 5000 members of

Arbitration hearings, with q
two-man board named by the

10 q. m. today in an effort to
eliminate the differences that
touched off the first work stop
page to keep New York Dailies
out of general circulation since
1923, when the pressmen struck.

Despite the hour, the voices of
,newsboys drew thousands to the
stands. to buy papers, and all
night eating places were throng-

centrating more on reading than
on eating.
Morning papers affected by
the strike were the Times, Her

were affected-The Sun, Post,

figure dropped drastically, as
papers were sold only at their
plants. The Wall Street Journal
and Journal of Commerce, fl
nancial papers, made their mail
deliveries.
After the strike was halted,

asserted in a statement:

generally is that they can have
all sorts of differences with the
publishers, but they cannot have
any differences with the Gov

PHOENIX, Ariz., Dec. II -
(P A new city manager, chief
of police and city clerk-magis-
trate, placed in office by group
of aroused businessmen, went to
work today to clean up vice
conditions in Arizona's capital
Of $4,000 and make II acceptable
to tho Army.
In an action unprecedented
here, Chamber of Commerce di-
rectors drafted political ap-
pointees for the position and i'm
sisted that the City Commits
sion put them in office. The pro-
gram took shape Tuesday night
when the business leaders got
the commissioners in a hotel
conference room, expressed q
lack of confidence in the mu-
nicipal officials, and bluntly de-
manded action. They got it, and
their selections took office yes
terday.
Eighteen days gao, after pre-
liminary warnings that prosti-
tutes were operating unchecked
and venereal disease rates were
mounting, Army authorities de-
clared Phoenix off limits for the
thousands of officers and men
of the air forces in this vi
cinity. Then a few days ago the
Federal Security Agency pre-
sented Gov. Sidney p. Osborn
with report showing that
Phoenix and certain other COM
munities of the state were per-
hitting prostitution to flourish
and the disease endangered the
welfare of soldiers and war
workers.
The Governor called a confer
ence of law enforcement officers
and told them to clean up the
state or he would invoke marital
law.

tiles that the May act might be
invoked, placing Phoenix out
of bounds to troops until after
