ducks were not hunted very ex-
tensively, but several hunters
stated they bagged a few mall
ards.
Local hunters are being urged
to keep out of farmers fields
where alfalfa seed is ripening
and other crops are being har-
vested. Many out of town hunt
ers who are unfamiliar with
seed conditions in this area have
| been elected from farmers lands
for trespassing. Hunters should
also be on the lookout for other
shooters and livestock before
blasting promiscuously at game
birds.

SCHOOL WILL NOT
CLOSE FOR LABOR

Hardin schools will not close
during the beet campaign and
fall blowing season it was learn
ed here this week.
A committee from the cham
Der of commerce contacted
school officials and it was deem
ed unadvisab1e.
However many students are
helping with the fall farm work,
1t was said.
Superintendent of schools Ell
mer Skeie said, students are be-
ing urged to help with the farm
work and already some of our
boys and girls are out of school
working. Teachers have been re-
quested to give those who miss
school to work every considera-
ton in making up their lessons
and there will be no .discrimina-
ton against any pupil. It is
considered a patriotic gesture
when a student helps with the
farm work."

transportation
For Box Needed

Any motorist who is going to
Billings is asked by the local
AVIS unit to take a carton OF
discarded stockings, contributed
by Hardin women, to the Red
Cross canteen or the Billings
AVIS headquarters.
The stockings, which have
been shipped to China for use
as outer bandages until recently,
are collected by the local AWVS.
A box has been placed in Pings
store, and it is this box that
anyone going to Billings is asked
to pick up.
The stockings will probably be
kept in the United States, where
many uses have been found for
them, from now on.
The local AWVS is also send
ing cookies to the canteen in
Billings. A quota of 10 dozen
per week has been sent. Home
made, packaged or bakery made
cookies are all acceptable, and
anyone who wishes to help with
this work may leave cookies at
the local Safeway store before
3 pm. on Friday.
A record of donors is being
kept and those who contribute
cookies are asked to leave their
names . with Mrs. John Kifer.
The canteen is very much in
need of such donations, it was
stated,

TRUCK RECAPS
UNDER QUOTA
Urged To Core For
Tires Have Recops.
New Tires Scorce

It was announced this week
that so per cent of the quota for
truck-tire recaps has not been
used, but that rationing boards
have eligible applicants for at
least as MANY new truck tires,
which cannot be filled.
It is pointed out by E. w,
Johns, tire rationing representa-
tive, that If somehow these ap-
plicants could have been pro
perry informed as to when to
recap and the efficiency of re-
caps, everyone in the state
would have ben satisfied.
UNLESS every truck operator
takes proper care of his tires so
that he can recap" says Mr..
Johns, "he will find that his
vehicle will be laid up because
OF the extreme shortage of new
tires. The quota of recaps will
perhaps fill demands of eligible
applicants. There will not be
sufficient new tires to take care
OF one third of October re-
quests"

A Brief Summary Of
News Highlights
OF The Wur
THE WAR FRONT

THE WAR FRONT
Gen. MacArthur's headquar-
tiers in Australia reported Sep
TENDER % that U. S. Army Fly
ing Fortresses hit and probably
sank a 15,000-ton merchantmen
in an attack on the enemy base
at Rabaul. It was the fourth
straight day of attack by the
fortresses on the biggest enemy
base in the Australian zone. In
the previous raids the bomberS
probably sunk an 8,000-ton ship,
and scored direct hits on three
medium sized ships. Australian
forces supported by new artill-
cry were reported driving the
Japanese from their outpoSts in
the Owen Stanley mountains, 80
air miles from the Allied base
of Port MoreSby. Heavy rains
complicated the Japanese sup
ply problem.
The U. 8. Marines in the Solo,
mons, sometimes outnumbered
10 to 1 by the enemy, have
beaten off all attacks and their
positions remain secure, marine
headquarters in the islands an
nounced. R~einforcements and
supplies have reached the Mar
ines. U. S. army bomber com
mander Eaker in London stated
u. S. and British airmen will
work together in day and night
raids to give Germany a long
winter of bombing. He said, II
believe it is possible to destroy
the enemy from the air. There
Is hardly a corner of Germany

FOOD REQUIREMENTS
Agriculture Secretary Wickard
said that unless the nation acts
promptly and with energy "our
food situation will become SER
ious. .. our supply is rapidly
diminishing" He outlined a six
point program to help alleviate
the farm labor shortage. In
cluded were proposals to retain
on farms as many as possible of
the experienced managers who
understand year-round farm
operation, to transport workers
to farms, and to use greater
numbers of women and young
people on farms. He estimated
