"a yC0Ao Va oSP-
aration, children born after their
fathers are out of the country,
children to whom Daddy" isn't a
person-just some one Mama
talks about.
That is tragic situation -
children coming to depend on one
parent, because temporary they
have but one. Children forgetting,
or not even knowing, their fathers.
Children who will have to learn to
know again and learn to love the
fathers who should have been a part
Of their daily lives always, without
interruption.
ONE BRIGHT SPOT
And yet there is one redeeming
side to the picture. one thing that
parents can tell themselves when
they are worrying over the prob
lem:
Children whose fathers h a e
left them and will leave them to
60 to war will be proud always
that their fathers were In the fight.
To them, their dads will be he
roes. The kids whose fathers get
to stay with them through the war
are, of course, the lucky ones. But
they'll never know the thrill that 1t
gives child to boast that his dad
Is soldier, that he had this, or
that wonderful experience.
When parents get to feeling too
sorry for their kids, temporarily
half-orphans, they can console
themselves a bit with that fact.
The children of fighting fathers
may not know their fathers when
they come home-but they'll know
one thing about them. They'll know
they are heroes.

and ex-newspaperman Dave Elson

Pat never knew how she got
through the short service at the
church and again at the grave
when the solemn ashes to ashes
and dust to DUST brought fresh
tears to the eyes of almost every
one In the crowd. OF course.
Dave Elson's firm hand on her
elbow helped lot.
Later, after they had gone back
to the big house that had been
Parker's home since childhood,
Pat decided that the scrubbed note
on an immense basket of red roses
was as much of a comfort to her
as anything else.

HORACE HEIDI
Today's Guest Column Is Written

by:
HORACE HEIDI
maestro on NBC Treasure Chest"I
Before broadcasts I like to sit In
with the audience and listen to
their comments. Probably the fun
nieSt line ever heard was durina
a recent airing of our Tuesday hight
NBC Treasure Chest" program. A
woman turned to a man sitting be-
hind her and said, Pardon me, but
does my hat bother your" mo-" re-
piled the man, but it bothers my
wife. she wants one just like It'll"
Last week good friend of mine,
an executive of an advertising
agency, dropped In to hear our
show. After 1t was over I asked him
how he liked it. ut was fine, Hor-
ace," he said, but I have a book al
home containing every word you
used in your script" OF course, Z
was startled by that because I knew
the script was original and I told
him 1 didn't believe he had such a
book. He sent 1t over the next day.
1t was an unabridged dictionary!
The girls are crazy about frankie
During personal appearances they
flock around him. And they tell
him the darndest things. One very
pretty lady told him, What charm
ing eyes you have" Frankie grinned
and retorted, I'm glad you like
them. They were birthday pres
ent."
One night as I was leaving the
studio I had to make phone call.
There was man in the booth who
just wouldn't get out. Finally 7
opened the door and rather heatedly
pointed out that he had been in
there 20 minutes yet hadn't said a
word. How can II" he asked. I'm
talking to my wife,"
A musician in my orchestra had a
date and he was late. I was travel
ing his way so we got into the same
cab. 1t pulled up to where his girl
was waiting and she was furious.
You're three-quarters of an hour
latel" she scolded. What do you
mean keeping me standing around
like a fool?" Look darling" said
my boy, Il can't help the way you
stand" There was no date for him
that night!
Another musician showed up at
rehearsal and said, "Mr. Heidi, I
dreamed last night that you gener-
ously gave me a 500 bonus to buy
some new clothes today. Surely, you
wouldn't want to spoil such beau
tiful dream" Certainly not" told
him. ITO show you I am as gener-
GUS as you dreamed, you may keep
that hundred dollar bill I gave you"
Because of the draft 1t has been
tough to get new men to replace
those who have gone into service.
And have made 1t known that I'll
gladly give any musician an audi
ton.
AS result, in the towns we stop
at, many fellows have been dropping
in to see me to discuss their talent
and possibility of joining my troupe.
Usually when stranger enters my
dressing room the first thing I ask
is, do you play any Instrument"
A looking chap had quick
answer for me. "Only second fiddle
at home!" He had come in to get
an autographed picture for his son.
I'd like to 60 on and tell you some
more stories Of things that have
happened since Treasure Chest"
started on the air, but I'm afraid
that column space has run out. So,
thanks for reading down to here
and, until we meet again, this is

peopleY for himself and the Musi-
cal knights.

MISS MARTIN
SPEAKS HERE

Miss Marion Martin, vice
chairman of the national Re-
central committee and
in charge of women's activities
in the party, spoke before Har-
din high school students at an
assembly program Tuesday
morning.
Miss Martin, whose home is
Bangor, Me-, and who has head
quarters in Washington, D. c.,
discussed the Importance OF
world cooperation and an inter-
national outlook after the war is
over. She also touched briefly
on the active part women may
play in government.
She emphasized the import
ance of an intelligent interest in
politics, and explained that it is
one of the most important duties
of citizenship to vote carefully.
She also briefly described the
Mackinac conference of Repub-
lican governors, legislators and
other officials. The resolutions
passed there could not be more
definite, she said, because the
party platform could not be def
mite, she said, because the party
platform could not be definitely
set forth except at a national
convention. The two resolutions
adopted, she pointed out, favor
ed world cooperation after the
peace is made and the contin-
uance of private enterprise IN
this country,
Elmer Skeie, superintendent
of schools, introduced Miss
Martin and Mrs. Charles F. Bur
ton and Mrs. H. H. Gulard Of
Billings and Mrs. L. o. Evans of
Butte, who accompanied the
speaker to Hardin.

soring one of the most effective

In a bulletin issued by the
committee it stated, lone of the
most effective ads printed so far
in the drive is contributed by

Little Horn State Bank of Wy
ola. From it we quote this para

GUEST SPEAKER

j. M. Astle, Hardin postmaster,
addressed the Hardin KiWanis
club at their regular meeting
held Wednesday noon in the
dining room of the Methodist
church.
Mr.. Astle spoke of the depart
ment as the biggest service or
ganization in the world with its
50, 900 post offices and 10000 900
employees. He said this service
expanded from year to year and
embodys numerous g%ratituous
iuties which results in a deficit
for the department each year:
He explained the duties of the
postmaster general and his four
assistants and the four classes
of mail and air mail. Air mail
was credited with being respon-
sible for enabling the present
day airlines to pioneer this in
dustry which has proven such
an asset to us in this war.

handling of foreign mail and
how postal balances are recon-
ciled each year in Bern, Switz-
