PRAISE R METAL
DRIVE AT GLASGOW

Other Montana cities and
towns might well emulate Glas-
COWS Scrap the Jap" day in
which more than % tons OF
scrap metal was collected for
Uncle Sans use in the war eff
fort, officials of the Montana
Extension service said here to-
day.
Carried on under the sponsor
ship of the Glasgow Kiwanis
club and with the assistance of
city officials, Boy Scouts and
other volunteer workers., the
one-day roundup of unneeded
metal brought excellent results.
The Scrap the Jap" day pro-
gram was publicized we'll in adj
vance and all residents of Glas-
gov were asked to search their
easements, attics, sheds and gar
ages for unused metal articles.
Each householder piled his
scrap on the front walk on the
day of the collection and city
trucks picked it up.
The scrap collected at Glas-
gov was sold locally and after
expenses of the collection were
deducted the remainder of the
money was placed in the city
park and civic center fund.
A special Kiwanis committee
headed by James K. McGibney,
Valley county extension agent,
and composed of Mayor E. j.
Kjelstrup and C. o. Johnson
was in charge of the Scrap
the Jap" day collection.
Extension officials point out
that scrap metal is urgently
needed in the wal effort and
that production in some steel
plants has been slowed down
because of the lack of scrap.
In Montana towns and cities,
as well as on farms, there Is
still much scrap metal that can
easily be gathered up through a
well organized collection drive
such as Glasgow's Scrap the
Jap" day.

INCOME TAXES
DUE APRIL is
WNU Service)

The state board of equaliza-
ton announced this week that
the district office located in the
Yellowstone county courthouse
in Billings will be open every
week day from now until April
Is for the convenience of tax
payers requiring aid in filing
their state income tax returns.
Returns are due on or before
April is, and taxpayers are
urged to file their returns lust
as early as possible. There is no
charge for receiving assistance
in filing returns, it was stated.
No changes of any kind have
been made in the tax rates,
personal exemptions or require
ments for filing returns. Every
single person, or every married
person not actually living with
husband or wife, who received
over 100000 during the year
1941 is required to file a return.
Likewise every married couple
receiving over 100000 and ev-
cry partnership, regardless of
amount of income, is required to
file no matter what exemptions
or deductions may be claimed.
Many more returns have been
filed up to date than have ever
been filed before in a compare
tive period. However, from the
figures available, it appears that
there are still many returns yet
to be filed from this area. Thus,
in order to speed the work as
much as possible and permit as
sistance to a greater number of
people. it is required that per-
sons. appearing for assistance
have complete detailed informa-
ton on all income received and
all deductions claimed.
These returns are to the State
of Montana and must not be
confused with the federal re-
turns which should have been
tiled on or before March IS.

MEETING HELD
ON JAPANESE
Beet Growers Estimate
$500 Ldborers
Needed In Stute

Men representing Montana
sugar beet growers and process
sorS pledged full cooperation
with the war department in re-
ceiving and employing evacua-
ted Japanese from the west
coast and agreed that at least
$500 japanese workers will be
needed for the beet fields this
season at a meeting held last
Thursday in Helena with Gov
ernor Sam G. Ford.
L. R. Cool, H. Al. williams
and Carl Sloan were in atten-
dance at the meeting as repre-
~sentatives from this area.
The meeting was called by
Governor Ford at the request
Of Lieutenant General John L.
Dewitt, commanding general of
the western defense command
and the Fourth army at San
Francisco. General Dewitt was
represented at the meeting by
James E. Harrington, special
assistant to the United States
attorney general.
Although the grower represen-
tativeS were agreed that $500
Japanese laborers would be
needed to enable the state to
meet its 1912 quota of sugar
beet production set by the Uni
ted States department. of agri-
culture. they unanimously in
sisted that Japanese should not
be permitted to remain after the
war and that they should be
under supervision of some gov
ernmental agency during their
stay in Montana.
Extreme shortages of labor
were reported from many beet
areas due to loss of resident
labor to defense industries and
the armed forces as well as to
scarcity of transient labor from
other states, and the grower
representatives said that unless
Montana could use Japanese la
Dor in the beet fields this year,
a drastic reduction in sugar
beet acreage could be expected.
1T is General DeWitt,s re-
quest" Harrington said, that
all loyal citizens assist the war
department in helping to solve
this pressing emergency prob
lens of evacuation and employ
ment." WIZ
He pointed out that while the
war department had no desire
to force the evacuees upon any
state, it was their wish to CO.
operate with state governments
which, at the same time, were
faced with a shortage of farm
labor to the extent that a mu-
tual solution of the problems
could be obtained.
The growers recommended
that reception centers be set
up in the factory district which
decided to use Jap labor instead
of permitting a general infiltra-
ton of the ~evacueeS into farm
ing communities. Protection of
the japanese workers was rec
commended as well as curfew
restrictions.
A permanent committee was
elected to cooperate with the
war department to work out de-
tails of receiving and employ
ing the japanese.

LANGUAGE. We were looking over
the Gazette" Fort Dix newspaper,
when this hit us:
''One morning corpuscle with blitz-
krieg rating nabbed me and couple of
other croots and showed us on the
bubble-dancing detail He copped
Sunday, caught us on the down draft
while we were doing blanket detail
and sent US off to the ptomaine domain
long before the bugler thought about
snatching his misery pipes"
At this point you're probably as
bewildered as we were. But Diction-
airy of Army and Navy Slang and
bit of concentrated effort supplied the
translation:
''One morning corporal who had
got quick promotion nabbed me and
a couple of other draftees and put US
on the kitchen police detail. He
dropped in without warning, caught
us loaing while We were doing blanket
detail and sent us off to the mess hall
long before the bugler thought about
blowing his bugle."
SPIRIT OF '76. In small Connecti-
cut town there's man of rs who
signed up as plane spotter the day
after Pearl Harbor. When he received
the first of the routine postcards sent
to remind spoilers of their watches, he
called up and said not to waste any
pennies on him: when | say I'll be

When his granddaughter starred in
school play, he was told he might be
relieved to 60. He was indignant: Sup
pose everybody asked to be let off every
time they wanted to go somewhere"
And, few days ago, he was told
there were enough volunteers for him
to be relieved of one of his two weekly

TURNAD0UT. With the college
commencement season in the air, we
thought it good time to pass along
story about one of the undergraduates
favorite people.
College Dean at Columbia University,
Herbert Hawkes., is famed for his OPEN
door policy. Students wander into his
office for chat without appointment,
with none of the usual rigmarole of
getting permission to see busy, i'm

students strolled down the corridor,
past the open door, up to the Deans
desk:

new day that was dawning. How could we
let our little boy go away to war!
And yet we were so glad that he wanted to
to die for something if need be, than to live
for nothing - or even worse than that to
live in dishonor.
WE KNEW that America wouldn't be worth
living in if ever its sons got so they didn't wish
to fight for it. We knew that many man has
lived long and prospered and gained much for
himself, and yet the world would have been
better off if he had never been born We knew
that only those who serve the world can inn
prove it and therefore only thev make sue
cess of life. And we knew that Johnnie was in
uniform to offer all that he had for an ideal.
No man can live more greatly than that,
whether his life be long or short.
So we didn't reach out to draw him back,
despite the tricks our eyes played on US And
then in the mist before our eyes we saw an
other vision. 1t was Johnnie and yet it wasn't
Johnnie. 1t was young America embodied in
Johnnie. 1t was what America had been in
l776 and what America will be, pray God.
in 1876 an immortal spirit in young mans
flesh. looking down the centuries out of reso-
lutte eyes.
More than that. the thing we saw in John
ME was part of our own hearts and souls,
something glorious and unpurchasable, some
thing to be gained only by sacrifice and to be
preserved only so long as we value it more
than life. 1t made us part of all those other
boys and all those other parents. 1t made US
truly part of the United States united to
us as never before.
1t made us kin to more than hundred
and thirty million people!
