Last weeks column about C. Boyd
Robey and his racing pigeons was
incomplete because Of space hmi-
tations.
The one really expensive item Of
a pigeon racers equipment IS the
clock used to time the birds. Each
fancier has his own clock. The
best of these clocks were made in
Germany and Belgium, so the source
of supply is cut of at present, but
sometimes they are offered for sale
by retiring owners.
Pigeon racing Is 50 popular in
France and Belgium that the
European clockmakers find a ready
market for their product. Not
enough clocks are sold here to in
duce an American company to make
them.
Mr.. Robey's clock will time 10
birds simultaneously. Just before
a race he takes his clock to the
club headquarters where 1t Is COM
pared with the official timepiece,
checked and sealed His birds are
sent to the starting point and timed
when released. Each bird has
around It's leg, in addition to its
regular band, rubber band with
a number given it for the particular
race. The owner does not know this
second number.

CIVIL PILOT

work, is scheduled to open in Great
Falls the first Of the year it is an
nounced. Sponsored by the Great
Falls Chamber of Commerce and I'M
der Co-ordinator of Civil Pilot Train
ing Rev. James j. Donovan, of the
Great Falls College of Education; the
course is the second of It's kind in
the state Plentywood for some time

ages of 10 and rs, who are not on
active duty or awaiting orders from
the Army, Navy or Marine Corps.

lot Training" Certificate can be Sc

student must complete 72 hours Of
ground school instruction in Civil Air
Regulations, Meteorology, Navigation
and General Service of Aircraft The
schedule requires that the course be

Already these same people are fast

that Montana is being tricked by

that the governor is being taken in
OF these ill-advised citizens who
would have us believe that ineffi-
cheney and waste, graft and corruption
are things we should retain in Mon
tana, 1 say they are wrong. They
would have us retain our costly but
inefficient system so that none of
their friends will lose out. Their
walls and cries will avail them moth
ing because their object is clear.
They fear efficiency, economy, sound
business regulation. They fear hon.
esty in government and they don't
want to see our institutions cleaned
up so they can provide better service
for Montana's needy, aged i'll, and
prisoners. Their crocodile tears are
amusing because they are so insin-
cere. They want us to live in ignor-
ance and they appeal to the lowest
and most disloyal of motives. They
are trying to smear reorganization in
Montana as 1t was smeared in Wash
ington. sEcI
They, as their friends in Washing
ton, are fighting against tactics.

not fear a city slicker but rather we
must beware of the Montana poll

4. Pressure for such conversion will
be greater with all workers jobless
and with all companies equally af-
fected.
Conversion to war work has been
slowest in General Motors and Chrys-
ler The independent manufacturers,
long foreseeing the end of the trail In
normal business, grasped eagerly at
the chance to switch from their los
ing auto game to defense work. Pack
ard, Hudson and Briggs (Chrysler's
body supplier) are in better employ
ment shape now for that reason.
Ford, rapidly sinking to the status
of another independent, did the same
and is also in healthy condition. But
the industry leaders, possibly leaning
on the former General Motors presi-
dent in his OPM post, were in no
hurry to convert and lose profitable
developing civilian business.
Nor did they want to be unprepared
for profit-making at the end of war
that was still undeclared month ago
and that might end too soon for a
good rakeoff.

the growing number of people de-
prived of jobs by priorities their only
means of support
Unemployment in October e
pointed out, amounted to about 4,O00,-
900 and only one out of every four
persons unemployed was on the WPA
payroll while at least twice as many
were eligible for WPA work.
Still another factor, he said, is the
increased cost of living which, for
WPA workers, means impairment of
health and general well-being. More
than one-third Of those on WPA rolls,
LaFollette asserted, are at work on
various defense projects.
Under the SMA program, he noted,
approximately 100000 school lunches
are now being served daily. More
than 100000 of the estimated 27,-
600 900 school children in the country,
the senator said, have unmet nutri-
tional needs.
The need for the food stamp plan,
he went on, becomes increased as
lease-lend buying Of food has the eff
feet of increasing prices beyond the
range of the low income groups.
The NYA and the CCC, LaFollette
declared, are furnishing education and
valuable defense training to thousands
of young men month.
ITO me-" he sai6, "the conclusion is
inescapable that almost the full i'm
pact of the recommendation Of the
majority would, if enacted, fall almost
entirely on the very lowest income
groups among our population"
High morale-in fact the very es-
sence of dynamic democracy-is de-
pendent upon whole nation enjoying
at least a minimum of the necessities
and comforts of life" he added.
"All the social legislation of the
last past decades, all the trends to-
ward greater public assistance for the
underprivileged have had the whole
some effect of tending to make de-
mocracy a reality in America :. -.
ITO cripple or destroy the efforts
which have thus far been made in
this direction will have an adverse
effect upon morale at the very time
when we should be redoubling our
efforts to build 1t up"
1T is my contention" LaFollette
concluded, that the majority report
attempts to save at the spigot by
drastic curtailments of essential aid
to the underprivileged while the
waste occurs at the bung-hole of war
and defense"

Although forces of intolerance may

acre is determined. AS only half or.
three-quarters of the normal yield can
be guaranteed, only 1913 bushels per
acre can be guaranteed under 1870
insurance and 73 bushels per acre
under 5000 insurance. These two
figures are known as 'insurable
yields"
In the loss columns are listed in
IDENTITIES that were paid on 1870 and
500 insurance during the period.
These figures are the difference be-
tween the insurable yield and the &C.
tual yield during the years when the
actual yield is lower than the insur-
able yield in the respective CLASH
fications
To ascertain the premium rate, all
indemnities paid during the % years
are totaled and the result divided by
23. The result, given in bushels, is
the rate that must be paid per acre
each year to insure a 1870 or 500
of normal yield. On the above farm,
81 bushels per acre must be paid to
insure a yield of 1913 bushels per
acre and IL bushels will insure a
per acre yield of 7.3 bushels.
AS mentioned earlier, it is assumed
that insurance had been in force all
through the 23-year period while &C.
tually it has not For this reason
much Of the data on yields, rates and
loss costs is possibly inaccurate and
corrections for this misinformation
must sometimes be made. AS the

BILE and the insurable yields and pre-
