1t has long been evident tina,
neither the government nor the
public fully appreciated the impor-
lance of the average newspapers
contribution to the welfare and
advancement of the nation.
No industry in America gives
more and asks less than the news
papers, So long has this been true
that the average citizen and the
government itself have came to
take the unselfish service and
generous contribution of the news
papers as a matter of course and
they have become indignant at
any effort publisher might make
to curtail or limit such gratuities.
With the growth of bureaucracy.
public officials have consistently
demanded more and more from
the newspapers. Departments, ,bp-
feaus, commissions, administers
tons, committees and whatn9t
maintain costly publicity departn
ments to grind out reams of prorl
paganda. Millions of dollars tof
taxpayers money are spent, with
a lavish hand for the services OF
expert publicists, for typewriters.
monographs, multigraphs, en-
cravings, mats and all the other
things that go into the mass pro-
duction of promotional material.
All this is paid for in good hard
cash.
But the publisher, on whom the
success of such a campaign de-
Ponds, gets not one thin dime for
the countless columns he employs
in breathing the breath of life in
to such material and converting
it from just so much waste paper
to a living message which is cir
culated throughout the width and
breadth of the land.
Since Pearl Harbor the newspa-
pers of America, particularly the
weeklies in the smaller commune
ties, have contributed millions of
dollars worth of space and count
less man and machine hours to i'm
sure the success of War Bond
drives, Salvage Campaigns, Vic
tory Gardens, Rationing, Recruit
ing and what have you. ~
AT the same time they have been
equally generous in informing
their readers as to the noble work
of the Welfare Board, the amazing
efficiency of the Industrial Com
mission, the wonderful accom-
plishment of the Agricultural Adj
justment Administration, the
pleasures and advantages of Point

"A war worker with a wife and

Some people have the idea that
they're sacrificing when they
place part of their pay in War
Bonds. Ten years hence they'll
know that was foolish attitude.
War Bonds are safe, lucrative
investment that will not only go
far toward winning the war, but
will provide nice nest egg for the
purchaser after the conflict is

WASHINGTON, April 9.-For
the first time the Army has set
up a school for postmen.

But there's more to II 4han thatii
It's really post graduate wcheok
because it's open only to former

The Army's mail history is a
long one. When George Wash
ington's ragged little Continental
army was playing hare and
hounds with the British, the inn
portance of mail to the troops
was recognized The general
himself pleaded with the post to
do better in getting letters from
home to the men on the firing
line. By the time World War ]
came around, the morale value
of a message from mama or the
girl friend was an established
fact and the APO went to town
Compared to mail delivery prob

those of the first World War
were simple. -,

CAMP HALE, Colo, April o.
Mukluks, Moml That's what your
Doughboy Johnnie is wearing.
With parkas and snowshoes. Just
like an Eskimo. And he's loving
the life he leads at Camp Hale,
under the caves of the nations
Continental Divide where icicles
grow 10 feet long.
White-suiteo ski troopers zip
down one of the worlds best ski
courses. A mile-long single file of
mules, laden with pack artillery,
climbs another mountain.
Heavy guns boom over the hill
side. Rifle fire crackles on the
ice-covered target range. A dog
sled team gees and haws up val
ley.
Shades of Dan1 Boone
This is Camp Hale, tow miles
high in the Rockies, where the
Army is training its mountain
men. Not since the days of Dan'l
Boon has woodlore and the ways
of the wilderness had SO many stu
dents.
"Come along" says why, snow

mander of K-9 (canine) detach-
ment. He's off to inspect his base
camp huskies, working deep in
the wilderness.
One-half mile up hard-paeked
trail we go, into Cochetopa Ma
tional Forest. It's 10000 feet high
more than two miles in the air.
Motorized equipment is waiting
there. Secret weapon stuff. We
jump on bob sled, lowed like a
kid behind a racing car. We ride
on a twisting. climbing mountain
trail so narrow the pine branches
slap us briskly across the face.
Dense forest begins and its the
end of the motor trail. We climb
out and strap on snowshoes-
webs" to the rugged mountain
men. Snow begins to fall.
Snow Stings
With Lieutenants Mace and Jo-
seph Kane, of Johnstown, N. Y,
trainer-veterinarian, we climb up
ward. The gentle snow becomes a
bowling blizzard. It drives sting
ingly into our faces. For 2 IL
miles we puff and pant against
the storm.
A neat group of green tents ap-
pears, set in a pine thicket. Pretty
as picture, but frigid.
The snow troopers are learning
their woodlore from experts.
Mace was a mountain climber
botanist in civilian life. He's
climbed mountains from Mexico to
Canada.
Dog driver Vernon Gardner OF
Quechee, Vt, greeted us at camp,
In civilian life he was dog sled
freighter. Now he and his dogs
are freighting food and ammuni-
