ON WAR

No good American could help but be stunned, then angered,
at the report of the presidential board on the Pearl Harbor
tragedy. 1t told a story, almost unbelievable, of lack of pre-
paration and coordination. Without equivocation, the board
fixed the immediate responsibility and no doubt the Officers
charged with "derelction of duty" will be dealt with. That is
water over the dam. But there are several other points people
will not soon forget and that we believe should be probed more
deeply. First, by what system of selection and promotion are
our military leaders chosen? 1t seems to US that Pearl Harbor
demonstrates that system has weaknesses. Second, we can only
describe as disgust our reaction to the exposure of the marked
jealousy and lack of cooperation between our army and navy.
We have heard many arguments against the proposed unified
command over land, sea and air forces. But such a command
may become necessary, good or not, if our present armed
branches can show no better coordination than they did at
Pearl Harbor. Our job now is to go ahead, fight this war to the
limit. But our leaders will be needless indeed if they do not
profit by the bitter lessons learned Sunday morning, Dec. !.
If this be treason, make the most of it, but w are tired of
talking about defense bonds and stamps. We hurry to qualify
that statement by declaring that the word defense is our
peeve. We've had a few hitess wonder teams in baseball, but
every American who ever followed sports knows that the best
defense is a good offense. Let's quit talking about defense.
Let's talk about victory or liberty. Let's take the aggressive, as
we will have to do some day on our battle fronts, if we e
going to win. Victory bonds and stamps would sound a lot
better to us than defense bonds and stamps does.
Editor Lou Grill of the Miles City Star had a bright idea for
a few leisure hours last week. He made an inventory" of his
garage attic. AS a result, Lou reports, he found enough scrap
iron to build a tank turret." This included an old automobile
chassis, heavy as the deuce" a old iron bedstead, an old
kerosene burner and miscellaneous pieces of iron and steel
weighing some 500 pounds in the aggregate. We could all well
make such inventories in our garages, barns, woodsheds, attics
or cellars. The incidental cleanup might be appreciated by
friend wife. The idea could be extended to business. A few
weeks ago, The Courier staff started searching in hooks and
crannies. This revealed 700 pounds of such essential metals as
zinc, lead and brass, all vital to our present war program.

AS the Editor Sees Ii
Recipe for DUNK school.

Recipe fer punk school:
Don't attend basketball Or foothal
games, class parties or any amateur
plays. If you do, people will think
these are worth something and are
apt 10 attend also.
Pull down the school, its teachers
its standards as often as possible
Loudly and lengthily proclaim its
weak points-even add a few black
ening stories if necessary.
Be silent when pep assemblies are
held and cheers are given. Croak
off key or do not sing at all such
songs as God Bless America" or
onward, Glasgow
Try to do as little as possible to get
by on your subjects. If you work
at all people might think school
is educational, and disillusioning
such a big audience as the public
should not be attended.
If you simply must attend games,
boo loudly at the referees decisions.
If at a play. tell all your neighbors
the gossip of the season.
Deface the school desks, books, and
property as much as possible. If
there are no papers flying around
the building, a visitor might mis-
take the high school for a govern
ment building, and it would be very
embarrassing for him to find out
his mistake.
Do your duty to the generations
by explaining to them how terrible
school is. Otherwise, they might like
school, and this would never do.
Do not be a good sport. Grow and
ha ha owe your vanquished opponent
as much as possible. If your team, Or
club lest during a contest-never
congratulate the ether side, but tell
them that you knew they cheated,
and that you will meet them behind
the woodshed TO show them which
side is really best.
We all know that the students of
G.. H S. are pretty swell, and con-
s%equently their recipe for school &C
tivities is decidedly different.
However it would be a fine thing
if a few more people attended the
eXtracurricular activities, such as
games, parties and plays; if no
school gossip was repeated: if a few
of the students worked a little hard
err at their studies; if an authorities
decision was respected and if there
was not quite as much DETACHMENT
of property and a little more neat
ness around the high school.
