sann''Despite
Yule Cadgets Will Abound
For Toy-Minded Youngsters

Despite the war, the kids want
toys at Christmas time. And Santa,
who has lived through many wars,
is going to see to it that his little
friends get them.
Because of war priorities. metal
and mechanical toys will be practi-
cally unobtainable. But wood and
plastics will take their place. The
type of toys that they are will bring
fun and enjoyment to the children
getting them.
One Of the new games seems, at
drst glance, to be jig-saw puzzle.
1t is not exactly a puzzle, but what
you make from it can be puzzling to
those who behold it.
This game consists of various
pieces of colored and oddly shaped
cardboard. By using the various,
oddly cut pieces you can make a
realistic looking lion. or house, or
giraffe or even a zoo house to keep
the "an-i-mules" in good condition.
The real fun comes in on this
game when you take the head Of a
baboon and put it on a CRATES neck
which is attached to an elephants
body with dog legs! To solve the
milk delivery problem you can put
horse legs on the body Of a cow.

tension director said, by simply
reporting that demands of the
armed forces and other United
Nations have risen to the extent
that our soldiers, sailors and al
lies cannot have all the meat they
need if civilians are to eat all
they want.
The third question is: "Why
don't we ration meat as we do
sugar."
The answer to that is not very
complicated either, Dean Schaub
stated. Rationing meat is not so
simple a problem to work out as
sugar rationing. It is not expect
ed that meat rationing can be
put into operation until the ear
ly part of 1943. In the mean
time, we are asked by our Gov
eminent to ration restricted
meats voluntarily.

rated in waterproof red paint. With
the bricks you can build all sorts of
buildings by laying them as a regu-
lar bricklayer would. For mortar a
trick type of stickum is used. After
you have built yourself house, or a
bombshelter, or a garage and then
become tired of it, all that you
need do is set the whole business
in water. The water loosens the
stickum mortar, the bricks fall
apart, and you are ready once again
to build another type of building.

Rural People Are Asking
Three Questions About Meat

Dean l. o. Schaub of State Col
lege, director of the Agricultural
Extension Service, sayB that
neighborhood leaders y who are
explaining the Share-the Meat
program in rural areas, find that
most farm people are more than
willing to cooperate in the plan.
Generally, three questions about
the program are being asked the
voluntary neighborhood leaders,
he said.
The first question is: ''Do I
have to buy or otherwise obtain
permit to kill my own hogs or
other animals?
The answer, says Dean Schaub
is an emphatic moi" The pro-
gram is Voluntary at the present
time, and farm families can kill
their own meat animals at will
and on the same basis as in pre-
vious years, but they will be ex-
pected to dispose of surplus meat
above the 212 pounds quota per
week for each adult member OF
the family.
The second question usually
asked is: why do we have to
cut down on the amount of pork,
beef, veal, lamb and mutton that
we eat when farmers produced
the most livestock in history?"
This can be answered, the Ex-

ORR DAYS TO
HUNT CHINKS

AT a meeting of the state
fish and game commission on
Monday, it was decided to es-
tabliSh two special open seas
one on ring-necked pheasants
in Big Horn, Yellowstone and
Treasure counties, and probably
to extend the regular season.
The purpose of this move is
to reduce the number of birds,
which farmers contend are de-
stroying crops.
Dates are Aug. 80 to Sept. Is,
inclusive and Sept. q to Oct. II,
inclusive. The regular hunting
period on pheasants in the
three counties opens Oct. Is,
and will continue until there
has been a sufficient reduction
in bird numbers. Five days no
tice will be given before clos
ing the regular season.
Shooting time will be from
z am. until 7 pm. The bag lin
1t will be 10 birds of either sex;
the possession limit, 20 birds.

TRACTOR CARE
TO BE TAUGHT

The second session of the
National Defense school will OPP
en- Monday evening, June % at
7 pm. at the Hardin high
school agriculture shop build
ing.
Glasses will be given five
nights a week and will last for
three hours.
The eight weeks course will
be principally devoted to learn
ing how to operate and care for
tractors and farm machinery.
Boys and girls who are inter-
ested in becoming tractor op-
orators are expected to be eS-
pecially interested.
Due to the anticipated short
age of labor and farm help, the
federal government is especially
anxious that this course be CIV
en- in rural sections of the
country. Hardin has been des-
ignated as one of the school
sites, partly because of the ex-
cellent response to the national
defense course last winter.
Jens Kalberg will again direct
the training course.
Further details may be learned
by seeing Superintendent of
Schools E. E. Skeie at his Of

DAMAGE DONE
BY TWO FIRES

The Hardin Fire department
answered two calls Tuesday. In
both instances, considerable
damage was done, since the
fires were not noticed until
they had gained considerable
Roadway.
At about 1920 am. the fire
men rushed their equipment to
the home of Mrs. Bill Towne
about a half mile north of Gown
on Custer Ave. The blaze vas
noticed and reported by DR.. J..
W. Schubert. No one was at
home at the time the fire star
ted.
Since city water mains do nos
extend to that area, the flames
were brought under contro. ny
the use OF chemicals. The inside
of the house was badly dam
aged, both by fire and smoke.
The other conflagration was
in a wood house back of the
FOurSquare church. It was no.
ticed about l o'clock. The small
building was totally demolished.
1t belonged to Mrs. T. R. Koer-
Der.

According to county officials
here, work preliminary to aur-

ton in Lodge, Grass and the
contribution of interested firms
about $700 has been raised. This

cunt of county funds.
Considerably more money will
be needed to complete the road

26 miles. It is possible to ira
vel by auto over this route on

KIWANIANS HEAR
TALK ON HEALTH

DR.. Hammernick of the Crow
Agency hospital reported in de-
tail the results of a health sur
vey made in the public schools
of the county last winter, at
the noon luncheon of the Har-
din Kiwanis club last Wednes-
day.
A total of 1910. pupils we're
examined for tuberculosis, he
said. OF that number approx
mately 900 were white and the
others were Indians. The per-
centage of whites who had a
positive reaction to a skin test
was 3.9. Forty-tWo per cent of
the Indian children, however,
gave indications of the presence
of tuberculosis germs.
A positive reaction does not
necessarily prove that a child
has active tuberculosis, DR..
Hammernick said. X-ray pic
lures must be taken to show
whether the disease is active or
not. These X-rays have been
taken and sent to specialists at
Phipps institute in Philadelphia.
As soon as reports are received,
steps will be taken to segregate
the active case, so that well
children will be. protected.
The plates are obtained by
County Superintendent Charles
R. Stobaugh from funds derived
from the sale of White Cross
stamps during the past year.
This is a very important
campaign for health and should
have the active support of all
service organizations, the spea-
ker declared. DR.. J. w. Schu-
bert of Hardin and DR.. De
Cantio of Crow Agency took an
active part in the survey.
Pat Nichols of Lodge Grass
and Billie Bell were introduced
as guests. Kiwanian "A. L. Eber-

SCRAP PAPER
DRIVE HALTED

Movement of scrap paper is
being held up temporarily due
primarily to need of bus and
rail transportation facilities Tor
movement of more important
war materials; also by the fact
that paper mills have a tenn
porary over-supply, which it
must be understood will rema:S
only temporary, it was an
nounced here this week.
It is no longer economical to
ship baled scrap paper to cas-
tern markets and for this rea-
son collections in the state of
Montana should be confined to
cardboard, folded newSprint and
magazines, according to oftic-
ials.
The public response to the
scrap paper drive has been the
main factor in eliminating, at
least temporarily, the great
shortages of raw materials for
manufacture of cardboard and
other paper essentials to the
war and production efforts.
However, it is now necessary
that efforts be concentrated on
the collection of scrap rubber,
iron and metals.
It is very likely that ship
ments of baled scrap paper Will
be resumed as soon as large in
dutries, such a the typewriter,
radio and washing machine
manufacturers, get into proIuc-
ton of war materials, thus in
creasing the consumption OF
products made from scrap pe-
per.
Rural people who have been
bringing wastepaper into Har-
din are requested to stop as
the building where the paper
is stored must be emptied i'm
mediately.
Appreciation to all who CO.
operated in the wastepaper
campaign was expressed this
week by the Boy Scout commit
tee.
