for a sound and stable peace.

ViscCunt Halifax, British ambaS-

all the carnage, mankind is also
marching to win 4 new and peace

In the past" Lord Halifax said,
we have permitted much both in

mankind will march to little purpose
unless We try to achieve a better
way of lite in the future for all
men, irrespective of who they are

WARNED TO LET
BOMBS ALONE

If you come across an un-
exploded bomb, leave it ctrictly
alone" That warning was voic-
ed again last week by officials
of the Army Air base, Great
Falls.
Bombing ranges scattered
throughout Montana have been
used almost constantly for sew
eral months and there is a pos
sibility that hunters and other
civilians may find "duds",
bombs that through a mech
anical fault have failed to ex-
plode when unloaded on a tar
get. In the event of such a
find, civilians are strongly urg-
ed not to imperil themselves by
tampering with the bomb. In
stead they are asked to tele-
phone, collect to the air base
adjutant, Great Falls 1851, and
give instructions as to where
the bomb is located.

USO Clubhouses
On Wheels Now

Maryland, with its Atlantic coast
line and many miles of other shore
line, depends no little bit on rela-
lively small group of army, navy
and coast guard men for her Sc
curity.
That group of men includes those
who patrol lonely beaches and
shorelines, others who man out-of-
the-Way posts, and still others who
are quartered at small military
establishments isolated from large
communities. To these men USO
"clubhouses- on-wheels" are a well
come part of their everyday lives.
Soldiers, sailors and coast guards
men who do the coast patrols have
little chance for the recreation they
were used to in civilian life, except
during fsarloughs that are not too
frequent. To fill that gap USO Gre
ated the mobile service which oper-
ates small, light trucks equipped
with powerful motors designed to
pull through sand, mud and rough
terrain. These trucks carry books,
magazines, sports equipment, games,
candy, refreshments, and even
movie machines, the latter operated
by special generator.
Maryland has two of these uSO
mobile trucks operating on the East
ern Shore, according to a recent re-
port issued by Chester D. Smell, re-
gional executive of Richmond, Vir-
ginia, and USO has increased its
mobile service by so per cent in the
past year, Mr.. Smell added.
Mobile units also serve on maneu-
vers seeing that men living in the
hard, tough routine of war games do
not lose their high morale.
