MORE PHARMACIST MATES AWAIT CALL
Class of 25O to Complete Training Next Week;
 New Quota Starting

AS part of the War Shipping Ad- ministration training program, the first class of 250 Pharmacists Mates will graduate March 12 from the new Hospital Corps School at the U. s. Maritime Service Training School at Sheepshead Bay, Brooklyn, N. Y.
 Plans for this training were form ulated due to the shortage of phy- siciars for the civilian population and the demands being made on the medical profession by the armed forces of the nation. The type of medical care available to merchant seamen on cargo ships has been extremely casual in nature. It is expected tha tthS school for Phar- macist's Mates will remedy the sit- uation.
 Large numbers of these Pharna- cist's Mates must be trained quickly to treat any emergency likely to oc- cur at sea and the increasing num- Der of new Victory Ships, all ot which are equipped with sick-hay facilities.
 Apprentice seamen, 25 or under with four years of high school edu- cation, are eligible for admission tc the school after five weeks of pre- liminary seaman training. In some cases, when men have special qual- ifications, the age and high school education requirements may be waived.
 The course Is a three month in- tensive study of anatomy and phy- siology, pharmacy, hygiene and san itation, nursing, psychology, first aid, emergency treatment and clin- ical laboratory technique, planned to make them well qualified specialists.
 Classroom instruction, laboratory work, and sound motion pictures will be used in their instruction. Field trips to operating rooms, surgical wards, the morgue, sewage disposal plants, sociological and pathological laboratories, and medical colleges will also be included in the course,
 Past Assistant Surgeon s. s. Heilweil is in immidiate charge of the Hospital Corps School, assisted by Ensign Merle Wheeler, USN, a staff of instructors enrolled in the Maritime Service and graduate nurses detailed by the Public Health Service hospitals for practi- cal experience before serving as medical petty officers with the Vic tory Fleet. Future plans call for doubling the capacity of the school and the anchorage of a vessel off the Sheepshead Bay station to give students practical experience in moving patients on filters from ship to shore.

 To Safety Posted By Local Police

Always keep your mind on your driving.
 Be sure your bike is in good me- chanical condition. OarelessneSS in your riding habits may bring sorrow. Don't ride passengers on your bike, Every intersection Is @ danger zone look before crossing. Fortune favors the careful driver Good bike drivers stay over on the right side of the road. Have Q light on front and @ re. Rector on rear side of road. promise not to hitch on trucks or other vehicles. Just because you can ride well, don't show of. Keep both hands on the handle bars, both eyes on the road. Learn to ride in Q straight line don't weave in and out of traf- 6c.
 Memories of an accident finger
 long-think before something happens.
 Never ride at night, in foggy WeaCner, or on Sllppery streets. Obey all traffic regulations-espe. cially traflc lights-stop signs. Passing other vehicles is dangerous also following too close. Quickly and without warning, emer- gencies arise-can you stopP Remember bike riding is good sport, healthy exercise if done in a safe manner. Safety is always in the minds of careful riders. There was never a driver who was too careful. Understanding the law is one half obeying them is the other half victory in war can be delayed by accidents on the home front. watch out for parked doors open ing up suddenly. K marks the scene of the accident don't let 1t be yours. -Four own life span depends on how careful you are. Zeal for the safe way should be al- ways with us. Zenith in safety is an alert mind attention to driving-awareness of dangers.

These are all health building sports, if the children will play in a safe place. Dictators and war cannot cause the rationing of the best things in life. Mother nature still gives us the four seasons of the year.
 So far as highway accidents in- volving children are concerned, there has been a steady decrease since 1940. This is due to the excel lent training given the pupils by the teachers in our local schools. The statistics of the accident prevention bureau, show that practically all the reduction took place among children attending school.
 AS March is the month when the ice starts melting and breaking up, we ask all the children to stay away from rivers, lakes, brooks where the danger of drowning is very great, and to all the bike riders we say. please be very careful, as auto traf. fic will increase greatly with the coming of good weather and the lifting of the ban on pleasure driv- ing. This means of course the pos- sibility of an increased accident rate.
 No Riding On Sidewalks
 Bicycles must not be ridden on the sidewalks. On the other hand, tri- cycles, wagons and roller skates are not to be used in the streets, and when used on the sidewalk, care must, be taken of pedestrians. Do not under any circumstances, go down town with either wagons, tri- cycles or roller skates. As for fly- ing kites, 1t is well to remember that the street is not the place to fly them. Go to some empty lot or park, and try to avoid contracting any overhead wires. Never use wire in making up your kite.
 Because of the danger of contact with live wires, and with your mod el planes also fly them in a large lot. Baseball and football practice should be held in parks or lots, and always remember girls and boys the only time you should be on the streets is when you are crossing them. Keep up the good work. and let us make l943 Victory Year over the Axis and Accidents.

HOLC Issues Statement
 On Years Activities
1850 Parcels of Property in Connecticut Taken Over By Owners; Real Estate Market Greatly Improved

HOLC has always maintained a policy of orderly liquidation, and has been particularly cautious not to incur any distressed selling which would adversely affect the Real Estate market. Further, HOLC sales have been made to buyers who have been thoroughly qualified as poten- tial purchasers, and proof of their ability to sustain the carrying charges on each individual sale is thoroughly screened. Adherence to these rigid requirements has proved beneficial to both the purchaser and the corporation.
 The record of HOLC accomplish mentS clearly demonstrates the faith that Home Seekers" have placed in the corporations policy, wherein 1t has been possible for Q potential purchaser to acquire a home on the basis of small down payment and with a self-liquidating indebtedness extending over a period of fifteen years.

A recent survey Of residential properties, held by the Home Own. ers' Loan Corporation for liquida- ton, discloses an improved Real Estate Sales market throughout the entire New York region. During the calendar year 1942, for the states from Maine to Virginia, HOLC has sold approximately 5000 parcels of real estate, aggregating forty mil- lion dollars.
 In the state of Connecticut 8 total of 1850 properties were transferred to satiefled owners. Many of the corporations buyers have been quick to grasp the opportunities obtain able through the favorable terms offered by HOLC, and the buyers improved financial position has en- abled him to realize the continuation of the cherished dream of Home Ownership
 Improved real estate conditions have also been reflected in the small number of properties foreclosed by HOLC, and the inventory of their holdings is being constantly reduc- ed. A further review of over 62,000 sales closed in this area shows that less than one and one-half per cent of the properties sold by the Cor poration were reacquired through subsequent foreclosure.
 Prospective purchasers are cogniz- ant of the fact that the supply of homes offered by the Home Owners Loan Corporation is rapidly dimin- ishing, and many buyers are now taking advantage of the available offering being made. The limited selection of properties available for purchase has created a substantial improvement in the sales market, and with sales prices consistent with the prevailing market demand, further increased sales activity is anticipated.

The solution agreed upon was what
is referred 20 as the decentralization
Of the steel industry" That is to set
up small plants near the mines and in
certain areas whose local industries
are retarded by the high freight cost
on steel shipped in from the big steel
eenters. Not simple undertaking, Of
course, in the face of opposition steel
interests entrenched in the industry
and in the War Production Board, R.
F. c., and other war agencies through
its dollar-a-year men.
From now on there win be In
teresting developments in the &c states
which have known iron ore deposits.
Instead of the control of steel produc-
tion now patterned by the flow Of iron
ore from the Minnesota ranges to the
Pittsburgh steel producing area, it is
hoped to have a series of steel plants
built throughout the entire country
close to local supplies of iron ore and
fuel.
The chief benefit arising from cree
ton of local steel plants is not only
the employment provided for men in
the mines and in the steel plants, but
the jobs made available in small indie
pendent businesses in durable goods
industries and the protection given
these small businesses by a steady
supply of steel at fair price and free

large amount of this mineral, which
glows brilliantly under the short-wave

Quortz CrYstuls
Found in Creek
By Dillon Men

Just at time when it was generally
conceded that there are no commercial
quartz crystals in Montana, two Dillon
men walked into the UsBM office at
Helena and announced that they had
some crystals, which they had found in
a stream bed
'eBring them in and we win look at
them," said E. W. Newman, USBM
engineer.
''They're too heavy" said one of the
men, SO the credulous engineer walked
out to their car where he beheld two
giant clusters of clear crystal, weighing
240 pounds Crystals are worth from
$40 to $40 per pound. These Montana
crystals are believed worth the higher
price. They were Immediately shipped
out as they are badly needed by the
army for use in Radar and other radio
devices.
Demand for quartz crystals was three
times that of world production inn
mediately after Pearl Harbor. Most
crystals come from Brazil and the
Bureau of Mines has had engineers IN
South America trying to increase the
output. A deposit was found in
Arkansas but for every ton of salts
factory crystal obtained 1000 tons of
rock and earth must be moved
1t is believed that many more crys-
tails win be found in Montana as soon
as prospeetOrs learn about them.
