their use in such places be banned

In which you might seek en-
ployment are those involving
personal contact rather than
factory conditions. Many indie

of our boys and girls by con
sceintiously seeing to it that
an ample amount of rest Is
taken. Let themattend to things
they are interested in, when
it is safe and sane entertain
ment, but let's see to it that
they come straight home when
that particular thing has been
completed. Lettering along the
way has put many a person
both young or old out of COM
missing for the next day. This
sort Of planning is safe. We
know it is true, let's make our
homes the finest place in the
world.
Patriotism is a word that
grips our very souls. Our pat
riotic duty caused us to send
our children to school on Sat-
urdays last year. It took our
youngsters to the beet fields
last fall. It set them to saving
papers and carrying bundles OF
them to the paper depot. The
key collection last fall went off
with a bang. The scrap drive
has and still is a real thrill in
the life Of every boy and girl.
Rubber pieces of all sizes still
catches the eyes of everyone.
Tin cans are being thrown over
the fence with the greatest OF
pride. Helping! yes!--That is
what patriotism means to u
children. Helping! can't we as
parents, neighbors, communit-
les and Big Horn county as a
whole get rid of juvenile del
inquency that is or will weak
en- our American way of life by
bringing everything on our

ing word. PATRIOTISM.

themselves. Doors are locked
against them, or they are lock-
ed inside. The first seems to
be the better of the two as
they are safer outside than in.
This presents many phases we
do not want to even think abb
out.
Patriotism on the home front
is badly needed. We who are
privileged to stay at home in
Big Horn county, have an i'm
portant part to play in winning
this war; ours is to help pro-
duce food not only for our boys
at the fronts all over the world
but for ourselves. Less food will
mean less energy. Less energy
needs more rest. That is why
the home has a big chance to
show its patriotism.
A stirred up world makes a
nervous people; unless we are
more than interested, our chill
dren will respond to that un-
settled condition to such an eX-
tent that we will hardly dare
face the facts.
Our children listen to the
radio with ears bigger than we
think, snatches of songs we
hear them singing, we wonder
where they learned. Ask them
and their answer is II heard
it on the radio. This same
thing must be true of the war
news; atrocities as well as de-
feats and victories. We can't
keep them from knowing: so
we must be on the job helping
them to build their lives to fit
into the victory way of thinking
acting and doing.
How can we here on the
home front save out homes for
Democracy, the American way
of life?
A suggestion or two, or call
it a bunch, might be in line
right here:--Now that our fam
lilies are "off wheels" we will
have time to prove to our boys
and girls what a lovley thing
home really is, by really living
in our homes with them; spend
ing our evenings with them or
taking them with us, having
their friends in to spend an
hour or so playing games, read
ing to them, doing stunts, max
ing things for their own rooms,
and for the home in general.
Mending, saving, cutting, using
a paint brush if for nothing
but putting a neat picture on
a board; guarding the school
record by enjoying with them
a little bit of school work, that
seems puzzling to them.
Let us parcel out some home
duties and see to it that each
child is made so much part OF
the home that the, most men
ial task will be a pleasure to do,
Let US build up the energy
