Forgive a rabid fan, now perhaps turned sourpuss, for dlt
fering with some of the enthusiasts of the board of control o
the Montana High School association who contend that inter
scholastic football, basketball and other sports are essential to
the war effort.
These men quote authorities from the armed services to the
effect that the army and navy welcome men who have had
experience in competitive team sports. That is fine and we
agree, as far as it goes.
In explanation we might add that, in peacetime, we derived
great enjoyment as a spectator at athletic contests. 1t was just
as big a thrill for us as for some high school senior when the
Scotties defeated an old and dangerous rival.
But the high school competitive program, even in the
larger schools, never reached more than Is or 20 percent OF
the young men in any school Admittedly, its benefits were and
are many to that limited group, both physically and mentally.
1t is a fact, an unfortunate fact of war, that the army and
navy are going to take more than Is or 20 percent of our high
school masculine youth. The number of coaches and physical
education instructors is rapidly dwindling. Those that remain,
we believe, should concentrate on a broader program that pro-
vides physical education and contact for all the boys. A recent
physical education program staged by our own schools, dem
onstrating what has been done along these extended lines, was
a revealing eye-opener to many local people and should be a
matter of pride to them.
specimens in every school. But they too often ignored the bulk
of the male students, who were and are even more urgently in
need of physical education and sports that will give them CO.
ordination and quick refexes qualities that will save many
lives in this holocaust. 1t may be that some of the larger schools
will be able to support competitive sports s~ide-byside with a
broad physical education program. But for most schools, losing
teaching manpower almost daily, this will be an impossibiity.
We think the time has come for most schools to make the
choice, and the choice should be the one that will be the greatest
help to the greatest number in our war effort. These same
schools have already done an admirable job in the emergency.
We think they can provide another great service in a broad and
universal physical education program, not a ~ percent pro-
gram but a 100 percent program.

Poetic Story Of Lac Convoy
Destruction in Army Paper

That Montanans serving in tn,
southwest Pacific derived as mucl
qualification as the folks at HON,
from the destruction of a huge Jap
aneSe convoy off Lac is attested il
a clipping received by Mrs. Byron
Armstrong from her husband, who
is a captain on duty in New Guinea
The clipping is from THE Guinea
Gold" publication for armed forces
stationed in that area. 1t is a poem
entitled Lac Convoy" and was
written by IAN A. L. F.. Lieutenant
His story in rhyme of the Japs'
destruction follows:
TOJO he was happy; TOTO he was
gay,
AS he proudly sent his convoy
steaming down to Lac.
Ten fat merchant vessels - heavily
laden ships
with stores and reinforcements for
Lae's hungry little Nips.
DESTROYERS were their escort;
Yes, and cruisers too;
They'd protect his convoy, they
would see it through.

And powerful we're these cruisers,
manned by .Nippon's sons.
HIGH above the convoy, looming
in their flight,
zeros for top cover, proudful in
their might.
Have no fear of bombers," the
Zero pilots said;
IF Yankees intercept you, we'll
fill them full of lead;
For we're the Zero pilots, monarchs
of the sky,
When Yankee pilots meet us, they
invariably die"
THUS sailed on the convoy
optimistic, proud!
Never dreaming, thinking, the
waves would be their Shroud.
High up in the heavens came a
Vengeful roar
Fortresses and fighters leaving
Guinea'S shore.
Flown by young Americans, flown
by AusSieS too;
Calm and quite determined to see
the whole show thru.
DOWN upon the convoy at reckless
pace they sped;
The mighty bombers roaring, the
fighters splitting lead.
Right into the convoy, blasting ship
by ship;
Bombing with unerring aim,
scoring every trip.
from above the Zeros Owed
OWED with lustful eyes;
Met a stream of lead and steel,
were blasted from the skies.

And this is how We'll meet them,

1000 Lives Saved

For those who like to find silver linings
considerable satisfaction can be found in
the restrictions on pleasure driving from
the fact that the number of deaths from
automobile accidents declined by 81 per
cent during the first half of 1943
Records of the Metropolitan Life In
surance company show that in the first six
months of 1913 the mortality rate from au-
tomobile accidents was 116 per 100000 as
against a rate of 1874 for the first six
months of 1912. This means approximately
$4,000 people were killed by automobiles in
the first six months of 1913 as against ap-
proximately 10000 during the same period
in 1912. Thus the restrictions on driving
and the 35-mile-an-hour wartime speed
limit can be credited with saving over L.
900 lives per month.
Safety officials are studying this record
with keen interest. They realize that af-
ter the war there will be more cars and
more speed than ever before-but they
hope to find some lessons in wartime re-
strictions which will aid in saving lives
when motoring returns to normal.
They know the solution cannot rest on
limiting the use of automobiles. But un-
less safety measures are worked out now
which will apply to normal times, it is
feared that in the postwar era, the auto
mobile will be more destructive to human
life than war itself

Keeping In Step

Aviation is unlike other industries. It
must at all times be managed and devel-
oped with the knowledge that air power
governs the destinies of nations. Many
people think that American air power
sprang from nowhere almost overnight.
In reality, it had it's beginning years ago
when farsighted aviation pioneers and
military authorities joined in recognizing
that all our civil AVIATION resources could
be made into a multi-purpose instrument
of military power.
According to Congressman Richard F.
Harness of Arizona: Many of the
leaders in civilian industry have very de-
iberately encouraged steps in the course
of the industry's development which have
proved of incalculable Importance in this
war. The civilian pilot training program is
an outstanding example of a civilian
inspired and civilian-executed activity
without which our military force today
would be far less than it's present strength.
And in the development of the air trans
port industry there have been extremely
vital steps taken in peacetime under civil
ian leaderShip-many of them secret
which have been ife-saving at critical
moments in the last eighteen months

Billion Dollar Yardstick

War production officials are disturbed
over the fact that they were able to spend
only $25O,O0OO0O a day for war purposes
during July as against an expenditure of
almost $3OOOOO,OOO day during June.
This fact disturbs them because it in
dictates a decrease of IS per cent in pro-
duction when the aim of the War PRODUCE
ton board is to show production increase
every month.
Most of us have learned to accept the
dollar expenditures as a yardstick of pro-
duction, but it is perhaps dangerous
method. For, under the dollar yardstick,
if the costs of producing planes are in
creased it helps the dollar expenditure re-
cord to rise and if production costs are
lowered it makes the record look bad.
For rough figuring we suppose the dali
ly expenditures do give us an overall pic
ture of how production is going, but tax
payers would probably be lot happier
about it if the government could, some
month, come through with report of in
creased production but decreased expendi-
lures.
Some how we don't like the idea of
visualizing production entirely in terms of
dollars. It seems rather unhealthy for
those of us on the sidelines to begin cheer
ing when the government has managed to
break new record in the speed with
which it is able to get rid of another bill
lion dollars.

To Reward Efficiency

For excellence in the production of war
materials the Army-Navy "E" has been
awarded to 1910 plants and projects since
this method of recognizing outstanding
performance was adopted.
The "E" pennants went to total of
1893 companies, 1,042 manufacturing pri-
marily for the Army, and $50 for the Navy.
In awarding these pennants, attention
was conferred on excellence in production
and quality and not on the size of the
plant, as establishments receiving the "E''
range in size from some having but one
employee to one with more than 10000
workers employed in group of plants un-
der the same management.
Americas production standards have
always been high. The extraordinarily
long life of the equipment we are using
today Gas few peacetime requirements are
being produced) stand out as examples of
our manufacturing efficiency.
Now, in wartime, with every rivet, ev-
