GREAT FALLS-Rev. DR.. H. B.
Jones of Great Falls has been
named chairman of the first Mon

service council, organized here by
Red Cross chapters from seven
counties and military officials from
local army units.
Needed here Immediately are fur
nishings for day rooms, hospitals
and infirmarieS, libraries and recre-
alton rooms. Similar equipment will
be needed for the three satellite
fields of the air base at Lewistown,
Cut Bank and Glasgow.
Lieut.. Earl L. B. Greene, special
service officer of the air base, x
planned that day rooms yer the
service mems lounges and equip
ment needed for them would be
davenports and chairs, desks and
tables, lamps, pictures and rugs,
monographs, radios and pianos,
curtains and pool tables.
In discussing the above needed
furnishings. The officials ex-
planned that the council would con-
tact the Red Cross chapters rep

contact organizations and individ-
uals in each community to supply
the equipment.

ply that this criticism is less than
patriotic our answer is that army
and navy heads have often been
sharply critical, that responsible
leaders in the democratic party
have sometimes been more bitingly
critical than We.
Democrats Are Critical
Just recently the Democratic ma
tional committeeman from Montana
delivered a singing blast against
the sugar and rubber rationing pro-
grams. Democratic leaders have
just as emphatically criticised for
eign and domestic policies and the
confusion at Washington over prep
arations for building up an effect
i've, efficient war machine.
At its platform convention at

publican party of Montana pledged

Lobdell Bringing Carload Here
for Sale by Auction ON
November ID.
Six Heifers, Other Awards and
Big Sale to Feature Final

In response to the Increased de-
mand for milk COWS evidenced
throughout northern Montana, H

a carload of the animals here for
auction sale on Nov. IA.
Many heifers from the Lobdell
farm already have been distributed
throughout Valley county as prize
awards presented during the Far
mers day series sponsored by local
business and professional men.
They have proved good milk pro-
ducers, we'll acclimated and in every
way acceptable to farmers of this
section.
, AS the result of the experience
at the drawings and Of the interest
shown by farmers, James K. Nc
Gibney, county agent, made a sur
vey of the interest in a sale and
Mr.. Lobdell was invited to bring
the Guernseys here.
Non-Profit Plan
At the same time, he will ship
Guernseys to be awarded as prizes
in the series of drawings. However,
the extra stock is being brought as
his own venture and will be sold
separately. No local residents are
in any way connected with the
sale and it is entirely a non-profit
venture on their part, the county
agent added.
In a letter to the agent, MI.
Lobdell stated that the carload will
contain mostly two = year = olds to
freshen and three and four-year-
olds. Each will have made a sat-
isfactory record herself or has a
dam with a record and has been
sired by a production bred, register

PLACES FIXED
FOR ELECTION
Community Committeeman to
Be Chosen in County
November 7.

Polling places for the II Valley
county districts where Triple = A
community committeeman are to be
elected Nov. Z were announced this
week by Thomas A. Wagner, chair
man of the Valley county Triple
A committee.
Each meeting is called for 2 p. m.
and any cooperator in the federal
farm program is eligible to attend
and vote. The meeting places are:
District l, Hinsdale community
hall; District 2. Genevieve hall;
District 3, Opheim school; District

Lustre Church school; District 6,
Nashua grade school; District z,

"At these elections, Triple-A CO.

committees to assist the county
Triple-A committees in administer
ing the Triple-A program" MI.
Wagner explained. "They will also
elect delegates to attend the county
convention in Glasgow NOV. 81 at

Triple-A c~ooperatcrs are urged to
attend their community meetings
and help elect the committeeman

servation program for them"
With food production assum-
ing increased Importance in our
wartime economy, the Jobs which
Triple-A community committeeman
are asked to do are also increas-
ing and probably will continue to
do So. Much war board work in
communities is also being done by
Triple-A community committeeman
and as the jobs assigned to war
boards increase, committeeman will
undoubtedly be asked to take a
further part in carrying out pro-
grams in communities, he added.

Rancher Will See
Many Wings In
Montana's Skies

GREAT FALLS-In the Oct.
81 issue of Golfers, Walter
Davenport tells of a letter he
has received from Montana. Mr.
David Patterson wrote from
Pendroy that tout here On the
Montana plains, so miles from
the nearest metropolis, one can
hear the women telling m an
other that they're glad we now
have an air base in Great FAILS
to give us ranchers some pro-
lection from air raids"
The Golfers editor adds that
now all Montana needs is some
one with wings enough to bomb
it.
Actually, this state is taking
up one of the highly important
roles in the air program, despite
its wide open spaces" and
no doubt partly because of it.
MI. Davenport should also know
that the Great Falls army air
base is now supplemented by
three others in Montana.
Only last week, Maj. John l..
Eaton, the commanding officer,
announced that satellite air.
drOmes at Glasgow, Cut Bank
and LewistOwn are being staff
