go is apparently in the thick of
things in the European area. He is
a member of the mechanical fight
ing forces. The following informa-
ton, received this week, concern
ing his branch of the service will be
of interest:
Headquarters, European Theatre
of Operations-Iron horses-jeeps,
reconnaissance cars and armored
cars-are performing the ancient
role of scouting and patrolling for
the United States Army now pre-
pairing, in the British Isles, to break
open the German West Wall.
Captain August Tewlmeyer of
Milwaukee, Wis, commander Of one
motorized reconnaissance company,
put it this way: We're the eyes and
ears of the Army; we establish the
first contact with the enemy and act
as screen for our main forces"
Although the very nature of this
work requires hell-for- leather driv-
ing Of vehicles, this unit has chalked
up a score of only one scratched
fender in two years. Twenty-Five
per cent of the organization have
qualified as expert marl1men
with their weapons, and the re-

shooters" This is one of the few
units in the army with no qualifi-
cation lower than sharpshooter.

Pennies Wanted:
Supply Is
Running Short

Dig the pennies out of the Ole
sock or from the milk bottle. They
are badly needed. Not only meat,
gasoline and many other things are
scarce but pennies have now joined
the long list
The federal reserve bank has
sent out call for local banks to
ship in all the pennies they can
spare, as there are not enough in
the channels of trade to take care
of requirements. The local bank
also reports that they are having
trouble to keep enough pennies on
hand to take care of local demands.
So dig up all your pennies and
bring them in.

Boys From
All Over
Like Montana

Aviation students in the College
Training Detachment at Montana
State University, boys from all over
America, are enthusiastic about
Montana.
At a recent convocation Gov. Sam
c. Ford heard them laud Montana
for its hospitality, its university, its
climate and its scenery. He re-
turned the compliment by adopting
them all as citizens of Montana.
Thanks, thanks for everything"
ran the editorial in their CID news
paper, The Gremlin, recently as one
group departed the Montana cam
pus for further training. I'VE of
Squadron | realize that this has
been wonderful stay in city of
wonderful people. We feel that If
any choice had been given, it would
have been an impossibility to
choose a more desirable college
training detachment.
Your hospitality, kindness and
generosity have been overwhelm-
ing. You have accepted us, not as
soldiers and future air crew mem
bers, but as friends. We have en-
joyed every minute of it, enjoyed
it to the extent that at the thought
of leaving, we know the sorrow that
comes with parting.
With our departure, we of the
present Squadron | wish to leave
this thought with you: We will not
forget your kindness, your eager
ness to help. There will always be
spot In our hearts for Missoula and
what it stands for. And if there is
no other way to thank you, the least
we can do is fight, fight like hell
to become the best pilots, bombar-
diers and navigators we may posi-
bly, be, SO that in our small way we
can repay you by helping bring
back your loved ones.
with that thought in mind, we
leave Missoula with fond remem-
brance in our hearts, not to say
goodbye, just SO long for awhile

SAN JUAN, P. r., Dec. 3.-Mon.
tana's majestic mountains, NAM
moth mines and mighty men shared
the radio spotlight recently in q
Commute Antilles Air Command
the "48-Gun Salute" to Montana was
State and its men in uniform.
Devised to entertain Air Corps
soldiers as well as to bring them
fond memories of their home state
the '48-Gun Salute to Montana was
one of series of weekly radio
programs to all 48 states. Emanat-
ing here in San Juan, the program
is broadcast to isolated bases from
the western tip of Cuba to equato-
rial South America, and derives its
name from the military custom OF
firing one gun for each state of the
union on Independence Day.
Theme Of the program was the
important role the state is playing
in the war effort with its productive
mines, farms and ranches and with
its soldiers stationed at far flung
battle fronts. Emphasis was placed
on the two principal mining CEN
tiers, Butte, greatest copper-mining
camp in the world, and Anaconda,
headquarters of Anaconda Copper
Company 1t was pointed out that
the state is leading producer OF
copper, gold, silver and the pre-
cious alloy-metal, magnesium.
Continuing the war effort vein,
"48-Gun Salute" stressed the states
value as a producer of wool, wheat
and cattle. The ranch of Thomas
Campbell gained recognition for the
ranch owners success in applying
modern machine methods to large
scale farming. His ranch, near
Hardin, is only few miles from
the Custer battlefield, it was mar
rated.
Other cities mentioned on the
program because of their contribu-
ton to the war program included
Helena, state capital; Great Falls,
second largest city in the state; Bill
lings, famous from early days as a
stock-shipping center; Bozeman with
its coal mines; Dillon, known for
its gold, silver, lead and copper
mines, Havre, farming center, and
others.
Story of the states history was
told in dramatizations, and music
appropriate to Montana was fea-
tured. Recordings of the broadcast
were made and are to be sent to
other Army Air Forces bases.

Season Opens

Only Two Lettermen
In Squad But There's
Promise of Good Team.
DISCUSSES MEN; GIVES
SCHEDULE OF GAMES

SCHEDOLE OF GAMES
The Libby Terriers will open their
1894 basketball season here Sat
urday night against Boomers Ferry.
Libby's coach has only two let
termen-Bill Williams and Gerald
Neils-left from last years team,
which won five out of 16 games
during the season, but which fin
ished strong at the district tourna-
9ment to take second place OF these
two lettermen, Williams will be lost
from the team after the first Sc
mester as he graduates at that time
and will be entering the armed serv-
ice. This means that with the ex-
ception of Neils, an entire new team
will have to be built up during the
season in preparation for the dis
trict tournament to be held at
Whitefish the last week in Febru-
airy.
A squad of Is men, picked from
an ipter-class tournament held at
the start of the season, has been
working out daily for the past two
weeks. Several Freshmen and Soph-
ignores have been showing up well
in practice and while they lack size
and experience now, if they develop
as they should this year, good pros
poets will be in line for another
year.
In addition to the two lettermen
mentioned above, the squad includes
Darold Adamson. Marshall Warning
ton, Ralph SWimley, Donald Anger
TALL Freshmen): H. Dolezal, G. De-
Rosia, r. Munro, B. Chapman
(Sophomores), Earle Brecto, John
Solem and Jimmy Roberts Jun
iors) and Herb Neils, Bob Roberts,
and Gene Chapman (Seniors).
Bob and Gene Chapman are
transfers from Priest River with
some experience. Earle Brecto and
Herman Dolezal are other trans
fers with playing experience. Gene
Chapman, tallest man on the squad,
is making a strong bid for the cen
ter birth. However, his draft num-
Der is up and even though he is a
senior, he may not be allowed to
graduate and may be lost to the
team in the near future. Dwayne
Delzer, outstanding player of last
year, was lost earlier in the year to
the service. Bob Roberts and John
Solem, both with some experience,
are also likely candidates for start
ing births, as are Jerry Neils, Bill
Williams and Bob Chapman.

schedule for the season.

by the little Brownies, and there
are seven troops of them. That is
the great desire to be a real work
ing part in our war effort. In
their program this year the girls
will find many ways of helping to-
ward final victory. Besides the
Brownies, there are eighteen
troops participating in this years
program. With school enrollments
greatly increased we can hardly
expect this number of troops TO
be sufficient. More troops mean
more leaders and already finding
adult leadership is one of our very
serious problems. We all realize
that the problems and the oppor-
tunities of the future depend very
largely upon the background and
training that we give our children
today regardless of the effort or
the sacrifice it may require of US.

Recreation
Needed

Ann Arbor, Mich. Oct. el--Rea.
izing the need of Ann Arbor teen
age high school youths for a rec
rcation center Of their own, Ross
Allen, chairman OF the recreational
committee of the Council OF Social
Agencies, called a meeting Wed.
nesday night of approximately 20
civic organizations and six student
representatives from each of the
three high schools in Ann Arbor.
The possibility of opening a
youth recreational renter here was
discussed-the student Tepresen-
tatiyes eager, willing. ready with
suggestions, while the adult mem
bers OF the meeting thoughtfully
discussed methods of raising the
funds
II was agreed that the recrea-
ton hall must be for all 'teen-age
youths, in An Arbor, seeking re-
taxation and wholesome fun.
The question OF raising funds oc-
cupied the attention OF those pres
ent for most OF the evening. Some
of the adults suggested tag days.
while others thought the money
could be raised through the dona.
tons of various civic organizations.
Matt Mann, 1920 Morton Ave.
an instructor at the University of
Michigan, strongly urged that the
youth recreation hall be made a
community enterprise, dependent
upon the city council or the Com.
munity Fund. Mr.. Mann, propon-
ent of youth center in Ann Ar
Dor for many years. said. 1T should
be considered the duty OF the
adults in this town to provide a
place OF recreation for young kids,
where they can have their cokes,
and do a little dancing and ping
pong playing. There's no excuse
for Ann Arbor. modern Communi-
~, not to have a recreation hall. >
Mr. Mann mentioned Detroit. with
its dozen-odd recreation halls for
'teen-age youngsters. and asked
why Ann Arbor was tagging so far
behind.
a committee is TO be appointed
by Ross Allen today, TO study the
problem OF obtaining quarters and
