The state took another step toward
breaking the bottleneck of wartime

approximately 90 representatives Of
Helena and other Montana cities at
tended the meeting william E. Stroud,
assistant chief of the examining d.
vision of the r. F. G. In washington,

inaugIrated by the board Of directors
Of the r. F. O., whereby loans up to
and including 100000 are now ap-
proved in the r. F. G. loan agencies,
instead of being referred to Washing
ton.
The new lending procedure, it was
explained, was designed to aid in the
defense program by assisting small
manufacturers who hitherto have been
unable to participate in war production
work because of the lack of plant IA
cilities, equipment or working capital
and to expedite the disbursement Of
approved loans.
1t was pointed out at the meeting
that machine shops and many other
concerns in the state could take ad-
vantage Of the lending program to get
loans to enable them to secure gov
eminent war contracts.

sun dance, most important Of the
tribal religious ceremonies Of the
plains tribes, and a Blackfeet Indian

Let me begin my answer by say

worthwhile for the men in the
service. The fact that the writer
of this letter lives in a small town

offer counter attractions.

However, to consider inviting

procedure would be to 60 to see
the morale officer of the camp, or
the director of the U.S.O.. and tell
him (or herr what you have in

a written memorandum such as

your husband are musical, if you
have small but fine collection of
records - symphonic or operetta
or swing - or if you play or sing
parts in quartet, say SO.
In other words, tell them what
ever your special interests and
hobbies are. Or you might make
note of your Southern or New
England cooking.
A point most important not to
forget, is that military etiquette is
still strictly enforced. There is
some talk Of relaxing certain reg
ulations. but it has not yet been
done to the extent of inviting
officers and enlisted men to the
same party. The exception. Of
course, is in the privacy OF family
some of whose members are officers
and some not. Or again, if all
present are intimate friends, eti-
quette is necessarily waived. But
to invite even one officer and one
private together. under any other
circumstances, would be a serious
error.
Cosnmunity Parties
In ADDITION to personal hospi-
tality, it is typical Of communities
whose houses are small to organize
parties for the soldiers or sailors or
officers in the parish house of a
church or in the town hall or per-
hape in a stable no longer used
There arc many other ways
to be of use. You might urge
your neighbors to read their
magazine promptly and let
you deliver them regularly. SO
they can be counted on. Also
you could collect books, games
and phonosraph records. Or
you can donate fruit or cake.
This last reminds me of an Incl
dent told me the other day by an
old friend. When she went down
to the Service Hut to take her
regular weekly donation OF cake,
she met a nice young Southerner
and this conversation ensued:
She: II wish there were some
