PLATES WILL
GO ON SALE
Treasurer Suggests Use of Old
Ones as Backing for
IA Licenses.

With Montana's new fiber 1914
motor vehicle plates going on sale
here Monday, County Treasurer
Stephen Weber suggested today that
motorists save their old plates to
use as backing" when they mount
the new, but flimsier, placards on
their cars.
II know that is what I am going
to do and I suggest that other car
owners follow the same plan" Trea-
Surer Weber commented. "Other-
wise, I am afraid many of the 1914
plates will be broken up before the
end of the year and many drivers
will have the added expense Of
buying duplicates"
The treasurer said he had received
a number of the new plates and
they will go on sale Monday. They
are full size, with white figures on a
dark background, replacing the tabs
that have been used with the old
metal licenses for the past two years.
Truck and trailer licenses, which
are made of steel, have arrived.
Drivers licenses also will be on sale
at the treaSurer's office.
AS in the past, 1914 personal taxes
on vehicles must be paid before
licenses can be issued, the treasurer
said. Also, the applicant must have
his title card, although little trouble
is anticipated in this way because
title is also required for gas ration
ing coupons.
License plates must be listed in
numerical order, so it will be diff
ficult to duplicate the owners pre-
vious number.

That local egg ceiling prices are
set in washington by the OPA, with
no local control ove them, was one
fact reported this week by a COM
mittee of the South Valley County
Farmers Union.
The committee was appointed to
investigate egg ceiling prices at the
recent quarterly convention OF the
South Valley unit. Its members are
James Mullen, chairman; Sid Cot
ton and liver Martin.
The committee met with the local
price panel of the ration board to
discuss the situation.
Another reason, it reported, for
the apparent spread between prices
received by farmers and prices paid
by egg consumers is that the CELL
ing price on ungraded eggs is con-
siderably lower than on graded eggs.
Very few farmers in the county
grade their eggs, it was stated, and
SO must take the ungraded ceiling.
The committee said the situation
again showed the need for an egg

ARMY HAS NO
PRESENTPLAN
FOR AIRBASE
Air Route Development Officer
Points Out Advantages
1t Brings City.

While correspondence indicates the
army has no immediate plans fol
use of the Glasgow satellite airbase
LewiStown, the field here will bring
this area untold advantages in years
to come, it was pointed out this
week by Paul j.. Campbell, secre-
tary of the newly organized Nor
thern Air Route Development asso-
citation.
The base here, he pointed out, will
be especially useful in peacetime de-
velopment of an air route along the
route of Highway 2 in the north
west, which is the goal of the asso-
citation.
Mr.. Campbell quoted from a letter
received by Dan milestone, publish
er of the Cut Bank Pioneer Press,
from Sen. James E. Murray of
Montana. 1t said in part:
Il wish to advise I have contacted
the army and they inform me that
they have NJ plans developed with
reference to the future use of these
satellite airports. 1 then took the
matter up with the civil a%eronautics
administration and talked the mat
ter over with Charles /. Stanton, adj
ministrator of civil aeronautics, and
he advised me that they have given
some thought to this subject and
have discussed it with the budget
bureau and the army.
THE army cannot assume the eX-
pense of maintaining all these sat
elite airports after the war and
they are trying to develop some
plan whereby they could lease or
turn owe these airports to the local
towns with the right to take them
over again in case of war.
There is also some talk to the
effect that states may be interested
in developing a program whereby a
state system of airports would be
set up
The definite trend is, of course,
that these airportS are to be used
in some manner, but the army has
no plan itself. 1t seems to me there
fore that any plan to be developed
will have to come through the
civil aeronautics administration or
through some state plan whereby the
state may set up a system.
1T would also seem to me that
the airports at Glasgow, Cut Bank
and Lewistown will be vitality impor-
tant in connection with air travel
and air transportation after the war
is over, and I am sure they will be
included in a program of some

FICHTURCED
BY KALSTAD
Speaker at Selectee Farewell
Declares Everyone Should
Shoulder Duties.
Program in Civic Center Here
Sponsored by Farmers
Union Group.

Responsibility for successful con-
duct of the war does not lie alone
with those in the armed services.
There is a responsibility for every
one of u.s." declared Milford Kalstad,
speaker at a selectee farewell pro-
gram in the civic center Wednesday
night. The program was in charge of
the South Valley Farmers Union
anw Marion Hellstern of Hinsdale,
unit president, presided.
The program also featured a pro-
gram staged by Junior members
from South Valley locals, directed
by Mrs. E. o. Wagner, and music by
the Glasgow high school Kiltie band.
The Rev. E. R. Bellingham gave the
invocation and benediction.
MI. Kalstad reminded the crowd
that the United States is one of the
few countries today where we can
observe Christmas in the old way"
Of the ~selectees, he said they were
following the traditional stand for
liberty of their forefathers, rather
than be robbed and plundered by a
handful of criminals"
Quotes Eisenhower
sometimes we grumble at home,
but if we stop to reason and con-
slider those grumbles should be few"
he continued. He mentioned the re-
cent statement of General Dwight
D. Eisenhower Allied commander
for the coming invasion, that we can
win the war against Hitler in 1914,
eff we all help, the fighting men
and the people at home"
Another responsibility of the
people at home, he said, is to see to
it that men and women in service
will return ito the kind of homes
and country they are so entitled to-"
He pointed out that the Farmers
Union is urging legislation to give
aid and security to veterans. In
closing he wished a speedy return
for selectees.
