British Blast Island Near Turkey
 Forestail Possible German Thrust

UNDATED, March Is (AP) - British warshps and planes within the past 24 hours lashed at the east ernmost Mediterranean foothold of the Axis the It. allan island of Rhodes just off the Turkish coast The assault suggested British readiness for any spring. time move by the Axis to supplement the war in Rus sia by southWard stab at Turkey.
 The most astonishing of the latest reports of the war in Russia was Berlins bald admission that the Red Army preached the German line on the central front during heavy snoWstorm and "heavy defensive fighting developed there" That appeared in special communique by the Hitler command while the reg uar comunique admitted that the Russians renewed attacks against German forces on Kerch Penin- sula in the Crimea.
 The common opinion of many war observers is that if Hitler can't get his promised offensive under way in Russia he certainly will make stab toward the Caucasus through Turkey. In such event, Rhodes might readily serve as a forward base for 1anking assault on Turkeys Mediterranean shore

Bear menaeing
Glacier Co. Sheep

Greatest influx of sheep-eatipg
bcars in the history IF this region.
Including both grizzlies and black
bears. is providing a problem for
sheepmen with their tlocks on the
Blackfeet Indian reservation and OH
leased forest land adjacent to the
southern boundary Of Glacier Park.
Hundreds of sheep have been lost,
some eaten by the furred marauders
but more killed i n panic-striken
flights which ended only when
stampeding animals toppled into
ravines and over the edges of cliffs,
where they piled in deep masses.
East of the park. the bears have
caused trouble on Blackfeet Indian
leases held by Donald Wilson,
Wright Hagerty and others.
South of the park, on land
leased from the forest service, bears
have caused losses to hocks of
Guy Miller John Sullivan. John
Phieffer. Henry L. Hamilton and
others.
Phieffer's band, ranging on Birch
creek. repeatedly suffered tn. loss Of
100 sheep in one night.
lIamilton's terders. on Two MeGi-
cine creek Immediately adjacent 10
the park. have killed nine bears five
OF which were grizzlies and four of
which were black.
Sheepmen agree that the bears
which have been molesting their
tiocks appear to have no fear of
humans, invading herder's tents
and camp wagons and staging day
light forays into grazing hocks.
Because Of their apparent famil.
iarity with hamans many believe at
leasv some Of the marauders are
bears receotly trapped in the heav-
ily-traveled sections of Glacier park,
where they were menace to tour
lists. and removed by park natura-
to areas outside the general zone Of
tourist travel.
Giving weight to this theory is
the unusually large number of bears
on the range-greater than in any
previous year and greater than can
I've accounted for by normal Increase,

TRIPS We Don't Take

Victory will be won by omissions
as well commissions. In the
clamor for something to do, some
office with perhaps a uniform and
insignia to show our patriotism, we
NAV overlook the many quiet ways
in which we can help. In the
kind Of war We are fighting tine
things we don't do are almost as
important as the things we do.
The information we don't tell,
the complaints we don't make, the
food we don't waste or hoard, the
telephone calls we don't use, the
bills we don't contract, the money
We don't withhold from t h
Government, and he trips we
don't take. added together represent
a real contribution to the national
effort.
The trips we don't take. especi-
ally at the end of the week, are
very important t present. A l.
though some passenger traffic has
shifted from the weekend to other
days, still too many people travel on
Fridays, Saturdays n d Sundays.
1t is strange fact that many
persons willing to make great sacri-
fees in the face of grim danger, by
sacrifices requiring all they human
possess, do not recognize the value
of the lesser gift. Yet it is Just such
sacrifices as giving up unnecessary
travel which, multiplied by thous-
ands, help the Government and the
armed forces to win the Wharf.-The

Censorship Of Press

With American soldiers in in.
creasing numbers being shifted
to combat zones in Europe and in
Pacific waters, the Office of Cen.
sorship in Washington, D. c. has
called attention to the seriousness
on the part of news gathering
agencies and newspapers of re-
vealing identity and location of
soldiers in those zones.
The Chief as with the average
newspaper of the nation has been
in violation Of the Code of War
time Practices at times i n its
stories of local young men. In
fact, few days ago it received
copy of the code from the Of.
flee of Censorship in which at
tention was called to the fact
that it had been in violation of
the Troop Movement Clause"
Hereafter. Browning relatives
should make sure that in passing
on Information about the where
abouts of their beloved sons it
does not reveal anything detri-
mental to them. No doubt the
Chief g deleting of interesting in
formation will strip stories Of vi
tai things, but in the war effort,
it is necessary that it be done.
In order to have freedom of the
press it is necessary for the press
to make temporary sacrifice. If
the Axis should dominate h e
world, God pity the American
Press. It's freedom would be
gone forever.

WHY SCRAP IS so IMPORTANT

First-Scrap iron and steel is
needed in the process of making
new steel from iron ore.
Seeond-A pound of scrap metal
melted together with a pound of pig
iron (nade from iron ore) produces
nearly two pounds of new steel.
Railroads are breaking all records
in getting tremendous quantities of
iron orc from the mines in northern
Minnesota to the boats on Lake
Superior. The Great Northern Rail
way alone is moving nearly one
third of all of the iron orc that is
being consumed by the roaring steel
furnaces OF the Nation.
But iron ore is not enough!
Scrap metal is the urgent need!
The production of tanks, guns,
shells, ships, etc., for our fighting
forces is slowing up because Of lack
of scrap metal.
Our Commander lin Chief has
appealed to every American to search
out and turn in the last ounce of
scrap metal from his home, bust
ness and farm.
