Connect War With
Past

Wars and rumors of more wars
seems tc be the world history topic
for discussion.
The sophomores have learned that
World War No. l was the French
and Indian war in the 1700's and
that these wars between France and
England help to explain this World
war, which the class hasn't num-
bered yet.
Next the classes connected the
American revolution with the wars
between France and England. A
brief survey Of Poland and Russia
followed.
A test on the 1600's resulted in
good papers from Otto Bundy,
James Holland, Doris Humphrey,
Lois Ibsen, Harold Kotkin, Rosetta
Lentzner, Joan Mohr, Mary Nov
niger and Helen Ship.

this war.
The British, she reminds Americans, didn't have to go to war with

but didn't They abandoned the Men of Vichy" However wrong they
have been sometimes in the past, this time anyway they stood at Arma-
geddon and battled for the Lord, though unready. They joined us when
we needed them greatly, and when overwhelmed with bad luck they have
been good sports.
Have you heard the British say a word against the Amercans?" she
asks. Did they crow over Pearl Harbor? Did they rush into print to
talk about out smugness and complacency?
Get this straight-the British are cur allies"

Flax Production
Will Be Doubled
In State in 1912

With Montana farmers being
asked to more than double their
1941 flaxseed production in 1912, il
is especially important that they
begin to secure the necessary seed
early, Chairman Thomas A. Wagner
Of the Valley county USDA war
board advised today.
THE Far Eastern war makes it
absolutely essential that American
farmers produce all the ~oil-bearing
crops they possibly can TO replace
Far Eastern imports that are now
cut off, and Montana farmers can
make a substantial contribution by
producing flaxseed," he said.
"a goal of $4,000 acres has been
established for Montana as com
pared with an estimated 1941 pro-
duction of 161 900 acres. Production
this year will be encouraged by a
government program which will
support the price for the 1912 crop
at IS percent of parity which will
in no case be less than S2.10 per
bushel, with location and grade diff
ferentials."
Department of agriculture officials
estimate that an adequate supply of
good seed is available if orders are
placed early enough to allow time
to assemble seed, clean it and dis
tribute it from surplus areas to
those which might have a shortage.
All the $500, 900 to 100000 bushels
that will be necessary to seed the
1912 goal of Az million acres will
not go through commercial chan
lels, as many farmers have seed
AVAILABLE, but those having weather
damaged seed in their bins are
Urged to test samples for germina-
ion before seeding time.

Wars are not won by bidding effort, pandemonium
nor pettifoggery.
We will win this war only through the ability to
get things done by those who know how.
The management and skilled workers of American
industry who have been accomplishing production
miracles for years are the 'know-hows." They will do
miracles in the war industries if not hampered and
hamstrung by confused. inept authorities
Some of our major industries require conversion
from peacetime equipment to tools and machinery for
the manufacture of war material. 1t takes power to
make the change and power to operate the plants
after such conversion.
Fortunately for America the electric power industry
has been ready. Its business management had pre-
pared for emergencies and when the hour struck the
kilowatts were not only modified but on the march,
To the electric power industry there can be no chal-
lenge of too httle-too late
Today America has more electric power at its dis
posal than Germany. Italy and Japan combined,-
five times the amount available in the first world
war. The Montana Power Company has doubled its
generating capacity since 1918. Ample electrical
energy has been ready for distribution to vital indus
tries when it was needed because of far-sighted, COM
petent business management.

A spiritual advance equal in tempo and degree to Americas all- out defense program was urged here today by Dr. Roy G. Ross, general secretary of the Interna- tional Council of Religious Educa- ton, "or else the nation may find it has won its war and lost its soul"
 Wartime conditions have trebled and quadrupled the problem of strengthening the nations Spiri- tual foundations "so that we may achieve that better, more Christian way of life in the days to come, '' he said in issuing call for abser- vance of the twelvth annual na- tional Religious Education Week Sept 27 through October 4.
 A favorable start has been made he said, in nurturing the spiritual life of the men in the services, both in their camps and in camp areas. These efforts will become better organized and more widespread during the coming year.
 Of intense interest to all church. men today is the parallel, and actually more serious" problem ot intensfying religions service to the civilian population, particularly tc men, women and children in indus trial and underprivileged areas.
 The national week will mark organized effort of Christian edu- cators to take religion out to the entire nation. Last years obser. vance stressed the fact that more than IS million school age children and more than 30 million other Am ericans were without religious ties of any sort.
 During the past year the Protes- tant churches, working through the Council, have moved toward ans. wering this challenge. A four-yeal program known as the United Christian Education Advance wa. launched in February with inten- sive organizational efforts continu. ing through this summer. It ha! three emphases in it's program t make Christion education available to every American: Church, Family and Community.
 The past months have brough organizational efforts centering il all three emphases of this program Tn May a national Christian Fami ly Week stressed the home unit part in developing Christian citi zens.

 London, Aug. l4-Brain Center of the United States Army Air Force, European Theater of Operations, is squat one-story building painted dull, gun metal green.
 somewhere in Britain" it stands, flat roofed and camou- flaged alongside a meadow just at that point where green foliage marks a roadway.
 A high wire fence surrounds thiS secret outpost, and when you turn from the roadway and drive through the entrance with Major General Carl Spaatz, commanding General of the Air Force of this Western Front, good tough Amer ican sergeants look you over as they wave the drab-colored staff car on into the enclosure.
 ORGANIZES DAY
 BEFORE DRESSING
 The ride through summer sum- soaked streets out into the English countryside has been quiet = until Air Force Headquarters is req ned. Then movements becomes fast. The car jams to halt, the right rear door swings open-and you try keep ing step with slim, wiry, 51-year- r-old Carl Spaatz.
 It can't be done because he has the habit of quietly exploding into action. His ADO, Major Sy Mart lett, former ace Hollywood screen writer, tells you that you believe him. During the moments of early morning rising General Spaatz will loiter around his room quietly chain-smoking and drinking 8 breakfast of black coffee and fruit juice-when he can get it. Sudden ly, with his mind organized for the day, he starts dressing with incred- ible speed.
 At headquarters, exit from the staff car is across an enclosure lined with jeeps, six-ton trucks and work men. Down a long corridor past doors marked G2, File Section, Rec- ords, Staff Lavatory, then left past an erect sergeant named Alfred Stouard of Decater, Mich, who guards this inner sanctum which is Map Room and office for the Com mading General of the United States Army Air Force, European Theater of Operations.
 There's an easy informality about the office. Great maps line the room, young officers place latest in- telligence information gathered dur ing the past 24 hours from war fronts of the world onto these de- tailed charts. And as they do, high ranking subordinates talk with the General.
 They discuss the Focke-Wulf Germany's fastest fighter plane, which has pushed air fighting to the dizzy height of 10000 feet.

JOHN D. DODGE IS
 DEAD IN DETROIT
Playboy Son of Millionaire Auto Builder Passed Out
 Last Night

Detroit, Aug. IA = (UP0 - John Duval Dodge, 43, playboy son of the late multi millionaire automobile manufacturers John F. Dodge, died last night from a cerebral hemmor- haze suffered after police arrested him for trying to break into wo- mans bedroom.
 Dodge, who once had $1,700, ,000 inheritance, died in a public hospi- tai. His wife, Dora Macdonald Kline Do(l,e, and a family physician, Dr. Edward K. Carmichael, were with him.
 Police arrested Dodge Tuesday night on a charge of breaking and entering. Prosecutor William E Bowling said apparently what hap pened was this:
 Dodge and his wife were at separ- ate parties. Mrs. Dodge went next door to the home of Howard E. Lange to borrow ice cubes and found him drinking with Mignon Fon- taine, 32, who roomed at the Lange house.
 Mrs. Dodge and her husband quarreled and after scuffle, she re- turned to her party. Miss Fontaine fled to her bedroom.
 Police, answering call from a neighbor, found he had tried to force the window of Miss Fontaines bedroom. Dodge collapsed at dis trict police station, where, officers said, he had been abusive and pro- fane.
 He was removed to a receiving hospital in coma. Bowling said he believed the excitement was respon- sible for his condition.
 Lange declined to press a com plaint, and the breaking and enter ing charge was dropped.
 His first marriage, to Marie O'Connor, in February, 1918, made his father so angry that he threat ened to disinherit him.
 In March, 1922, he served five days in the house of correction fol desertion, and since had largely dis sipated his fortune in lawsuits anC bad investments. His first wife divorced him ir June, 1883. A few weeks later hG and Dora Mcdonald Kline was married.
