What are the emotions of an ar

scared half to death2
These and other questions are
answered in RKO Radios Para

News Notes from
Your Stote University
BY Dorothy Rochon

Missoula Two Lincoln county
students. Dean Brown, Eureka, and
Celia Nolop, Libby, have been
named on the general student de-
Tense committee for the university
All committee members were ap-
pointed last week by Earl Fair
banks, Lima, campus defense CO.
ordinator.
Blackout preparations on the
campus were necessitated by the
strategic position of Missoula. In
case of Pacific coast air raid, this
entire community will be BACKED
out, in order that any planes which
might decide to fly inland would
not find their way lighted. Main
point of the issue is that lights here
would assist pilots in determining
the position of such industrial
cities as Butte, Anaconda, and
Great Falls, where large part of
the United States copper industry IS
located.
Lists of blackout instruction have
been issued to all sorority and fra
ternity houses, as we'll as all stu
dent boarding houses. Air raid war
dens have been appointed for each
building.
Whistles will signal any air raid,
but no practice blackouts will take
place.
Eva Sagh. student war refugee
from Czechoslovakia, arrived IN
Missoula last week and completed
her registration in the university
Miss Sagh, brought here through
the combined. work of the Inter
church council and the campus
committee of the World Student
Service Fund, came directly from
New York where she has been at
tending school for the past three
years.
Miss Sagh came to the United
} States from a small town near
Prague, and since then has been
attending college in New York City
She entered the university with ar
advanced standing and plans tc
make her home at the women's CO
OPP.
Eva Sagh comes to the univer-
sity under the same auspices as
Beatrice Boyko, Czechoslovakiar
refugee brought here last year,

but the two decide to 60 to New

There, in their prospective pub

There's the situation as Ameche

Pu|pwood Products
Put Under Export
Control by Canada
ottowo Hoping to Avoid
Any Undue DisIocution
Of Normal Supplies
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Prsss.
OTTAWA, Jan. 1o.-As . result
Of serious local shortages in Canada,
certain pulpwood products have
been placed on the list Of articles
for which an export permit must
be obtained before they are shipped
from Canada, Trade Minister j. A.
MacKinnon announced last night.
But, Mr.. MacKtnnon said, the
intention Is to avoid ANY undue
dislocation" Of normal supplies Of
pulpwood both for Canadian and
United States mills.
After February l, permits will be
required covering all shipments
from Canada Of pulpwood Of spruce,
balsam, hemlock, jackpine or pop
lar. either in tho form Of cord
wood or logs.
1T has become necessary to place
pulpwood under export control ow-
ing to the increased demand both
in Canada and the United States
which has resulted In an apparent
shortage Of this material" the
minister said in . statement.
"As . consequence Of the short
age, prices have been rising and
United States mills have been max
ing additional purchases, which have
caused serious local shortages in
some districts"
Applications to export pulpwood
will be referred By the export per-
NIT branch Of the Trade and Com
merce Department to A. 8. Nichol-
son. timber controller under the
Munitions and Supply Department.
Mr. MacKinnon said that in plac-
ing pulpwood under export per-
NIT control it was not prc14ed
"in any way to discriminate AZ Inst
established United States Interests
which have been accustomed to de-
rive their supplies Of pulpwood from
Canada"
Insofar as it is physically pos
sible, shipments Of Canadian pulp
wood to the United States will con-
tinue to bear the same relationship
to the total available Canadian cut
as in recent years." he said.
Furthermore, the timber con-
troller has agreed that no actiop will
be taken to interfere with bona f1de
contracts concluded prior to jan
uary IS, 1912.
