LOWELL BULLS; DEAN HUSS
REPORT FOR INDUCTION

Lowell Bulls left for Salt Lake
City Wednesday to report for
duty in the army. Dean HuSs
will leave on or around May %
for San Diego. Dean has joined
the Marine corps.
Last week, Lowell and Dean,
along with about fifty others
from this county, took their
physical examinations at Butte.
They returned Thursday. After
their examinations they we're
given a week to straighten out
their affairs before reporting for
training.
Several other students were
also called but all had the priv
elege of remaining until shool
is over and they preferred to
wait.
A side light on the trip to
Butte was the fact that Lowell
took his first train ride when
he went to Butte, and at that
it didn't cost him anything.

"Ah! Trout Fishing! Now you
have really got something here!'
So echo the sentiments Of Bob
Sweet, a Well-liked senior whose
activities range all the way from
the aeronautics and drafting
classes, which, by the way, are
his favorite subjects, to the
dance floor, and any of you
''fems' will confirm his popu-
larity there. Bob's a baritone
player in the Hardin High Band,
and his preference for blondes
leads us to believe that it must
also be his favorite pastime, for
we note that all his spare NOM
entS seem to be spent in that
behalf.

SOLDIERS VIEW OF AFRICA

Staff Sergeant Alfred Hitch
cock, son of MI. and Mrs. Clar-
ence Hitchcock of Grow Agency,
1884 HIS. graduate, landed In
Africa in November 1912. This
feature is made up of excerpts
from the letters he has written
home since he got there.
Dear Folks,
All of the country and towns
are about the same, and exactly
the opposite of what I had ex-
pected. The large cities seem to
be fully as modern as those in
Ireland and parts of England. I
have seen Oran and other points
along North Africa, and I'm sure
the most modern hotel I ever
saw was in Oran. However, a
scene on most any country road
might we'll be a scene from the
Bible. I find the climate here to
be Just about like southern Tex
as except that at Christmas time
it rains all of the time. The hills
are covered with cactus, Span
ish Dagger, and burros while
the valleys are mostly under
cultivation and produce oranges,
tangerines, dates, and grain
also Arabs.
We are certainly getting a taste
of Tunisian summer. It's still
hot and there's enough sand in
the air so I've seen prairie dogs
digging holes fifty feet above
the ground.
The people have greatly diff
ferent customs from those in
Europe and the United States.
Those who dwell in the country
are mostly Moslems and Arabs.
Most of the people are poor but
apparently are quite satisfied.
They seem overjoyed at the pro-
spect of getting a barracks bag
in exchange for a gallon Of
wine. The Arabs cut holes in
these denim bags and use them
for trousers.
The French and Spanish
young women wear Fifth aven-
ue clothes while the Arabs and

THE STAFF
OBSERVES
RAISE GARDENS
FOR VICTORY

While walking down the
streets of Hardin on an early
spring day, it is not unusual to
see a young lady wearing over
alls with legs rolled up, a bright
colored shirt, and a wide SOM
brCro, kneeling patiently over
tiny seeds or plants and rich
brown soil. And to what avail?
She is one of the millions OF
people that are helping to win
the war by raising victory gard
ems. She has felt her country'S
call and is responding in the
only way she can. BY providing
food for her family, she is re-
leasing the food she would 9TH
erWise buy to be sent to the boys
in Our armed forces.
However, if you will interview
this young lady, and millions of
others like her all over the I'm.
tied States, you will find that
they not only feel it their pat
riotic duty, but they enjoy this
type of work and are glad to in
clude it in their daily routine. It
gives them a chance to ""get out
into the fresh air and sunshine"
of our beautiful spring days.
They say it's fun, as we'll as a
boost to the war effort.
What are you doing to help
win the war? If you aren't do
ing much or can't think of any
thing more to do, why not join
this group and enjoy the labor
and results of raising a victory
garedn9 (And I do mean high
school students.)
