It's sorry state of affairs if group of can calmly

would persist in such plans after they had become fully
informed of the extensive destruction such plans would

power development have that deveopmnt much at heart
pet project 1t undoubtedly looms large in their desires
and in their thinking The advantages of present extensive
power development probably appear more desirable to

TO keep them from carrying out their pet project of huge

yet. Japan's Wanted Zeros which
could outmaneuver us because OF
their lightness, il is true, exploded
at one shot. They have been i'm
proved. Germany has improved .
number of her models, too. She
is holding back many for defense.
The enemy army, as a whole, is
better trained by experience than
our men. But those of our men who
have had equal training and expert
ence are as good or better, man for
man, although not yet perhaps, Of
fcer for officer. Remember, Ger
many and Japan bred an officer
class. We trained a few profess
sional officers, limited their prestige,
resources and opportunity. The ma
jority of our officers in wartime
come from civilian life. They are
good, when they get the training and.
the experience.
AS to the fighting man. Well.
we've stood up to Hitler's finest in
Africa at bayonet's length--Weve
beaten the crawling Jap at his own
game, jungle fighting.
Long Range Vieu
But still we have those odds which
! (or rather the general) mentioned
when We look at the long range
vista. They are the things which
the general brought up in answer to
the 'buts I'll name the butts" in
second. The point is he showed
me why it can't be done tomorrow
why we civilians have to be patient.
He showed me what we have to do
before we get over that ridge
After tomorrow, we can consider.
The enemy hasn't the initiative the
Americans and British have. When
things don't 60 according to plan,
they are likely to bust" We won't.
The enemy has had its best men
In the army long time7its replace
m ments are not as good As ours will
Much of the enemy-held territory
has hostile population which will
work with the Allies against the en-
envy when we move in.
Japan and Germany will fail on
critical materials before we will
we can beat them at their own game
OF 'ersatz,' too; witness synthetic
rubber.
We can manufacture and build
faster because we have more to do
1t with than they have Our home
front is farther away from the battle
front-and 1t is more in sympathy
with the government, despite polit-
ical difficulties.

FIGURE 1t Out Yourself

The time has come for everyone of who is putting
part of his income into War Bonds to reassess his or her
contribution toward the winning OF the war
To begin with we can all feel proud of what have
ACCOMPLISHED There are than 26 900 of buying
bonds out of income regularly We work in 10000 con-
Germs big and little There virtually no industry or
business without payroll savings plan IN all America Our
War Bond purchases amount to about S4OOO0O0OO
month
While the nation training and arming millions OF our
fathers sons and brothers, the 10 per cent for
bond allotments served its purpose.
Meanwhile our national income has risen to record
heights Consumer goods have steadily dWindled. We
will have As billion dollars above the cost OF the neces-
sites of life and present pockets during 1943
There plenty of dynamite in these loose 40 billions OF
dollars Thrown into the fight in the form of bonds
this money has sufficient power to blow Hers armies to

the fading supply of civilian goods this money has the
power rip the home front pieces and destroy the back

of dollars will bring misery and chaos to every American
family
More and these facts burning themselves into
our consciousness Where formerly member of fam
lily took upon him herself the full bond duty,
every working member of family must share the re-
sponsbility War Bond families sprngng up by the
thousands, especially in war work areas.
For example, if only member of family has been
working and earning say 5000 per month"; 10 per cent
be the most that be saved But another member of
the family employed at say $3.50 month"; the total
penses of the family may not be increased at ALL very
slightly 1t is entirely possible for the family to put
$3.50 than 80 per cent of total income into bonds

Grange Files
To Project

L. A. Sutherland. master of the
Montana State Grange, has re-
ceived telegram from A. S. Goss,
master of the National Grange, stat
inc that he has reliable information
that the proposed project of raising
Flathead lake has been stopped
at least for the present.
Mr.. Goss sent a protest to Chester
Davis. War Food administrator, and
to Donald NJ Nelson of the War
Production Board. He also wired
President Roosevelt and Secretary
Ickes as follows: Am informed that
Bonneville Authority has plans we'll
under way to raise the level of
Flathead lake. Montana, so as to
destroy $4,000 acres of highly pro-
ductive farm land under one plan
and 42.0G0 acres on an alternative
plan. Only miracle can now re-
suit in food production this year ap-
preaching the estimates previously
made and we will need every pos
sible acre of production. The drain
on our reserves will probably make
next years food problem fully as
serious as this year. We urge that
you oppose this destruction of our
food producing assets particularly
as there are other ways of augment
ing Bonneville power without this
destruction
Numerous protests from various
subordinate and county Oranges as
we'll as the Montana State Grange
have been sent in, in addition to
this forceful protest by the master
of the National Grange.
Flathead County Pomona voted
at their meeting ON June 5 to make
substantial donation to the Flat
head Lake Fund to continue the
fight
Sunday, June 6, members of the
executive committee and other state
officers met with Master Suther-
land at Hot Springs to make plans
for the annual business meeting in
October. AT noon members of the

War Stimulates
Changes in Education

One of the many changes which
the war has stimulated is the change
in education. Education is going to
count more after the war. Many
boys will come back partially
trained In trades and professions
which they can follow if they have
the additional theoretical and prac-
teal instruction necessary to arm
them for the stiff competition which
is expected.
AS result, college entrance ex-
animation requirements will be
greatly altered for many OF these
men will lack the traditional pre-
requisites. Reform in this field is
one of the IL major detectives, dis
cussed in report OF the commits
sion on liberal education OF the AS
ISOLATION of American Colleges.
II an educational program Is to
be of genuine service to the men
and women OF the postwar world"
the report Of the college committee
says, 1T must perform two func-
tions simultaneously. 1t must take
them as they are and appeal to their
immediate desires and special
needs, and it must provide for their
common and enduring needs in
postwar society"
II will be recalled that the boom
after the last war created the COON

more serious. They must be taken
more seriously They must have
aptitude and achievement tests rath-
er than book-learning examinations;
there must be more individualized
instruction, more tutorial and semi
mar methods, special attention must
be given to co-ordinated instruction
that will aid in the transition from
army or industrial life to peacetirie
community and family relations and
the responsibilities of citizenship.
