An ultra high frequency course
open only to graduates in electrical
engineering, will be given at Montana
State college starting sometime In
January, according to E. w. Schilling,
dean Of engineering. The course is
sponsored by the war manpower COM
mission and will be given In only so
engineering colleges in the country.
Since special equipment is required
for the training in high frequency.
much Of 1t viii be supplied by the
federal government. The work which
will be offered in the course was out
lined recently at a conference called
by the war manpower commission at
the Massachusetts Institute OF Tech
nology. Attending the conference from
Montana State college was Prof.
George j. Fielder Of the electrical
engineering department
Dean Schilling also calls attention
to the courses In engineering drawing
and design, and radio technology
which will be repeated during the
winter quarter at the college. These
courses are at the college level and
are open to men and women. The pur-
pose of these courses is to train men
and women for work in war industries.

Income Is 3 Times
The Depression Lou

Secretary of Commerce Jones has
estimated that the 1912 national in
come would exceed lit billion dollars
nearly three times the depression
low-and in 1943 1t would climb to
1876 billion dollars.
Part of the % billion dollars gain
over l941 can be attributed to higher
prices, Jones said, "but the major
share represents an increased volume
Of productive activity"
The estimate for this year compares
with the 1929 income Of $S3, 265. 900 900,
a record until last year, and the 1920
mark of 500, 991 ,0OO,O00 President
Roosevelt set 10 billion dollar income
as the goal for recovery from the de-
preston.
Last March the commerce depart
ment had estimated this years income
at 113 billion dollars.
The largest dollar volume increase
during 1912 is anticipated for wages
and salaries, which Jones said would
exceed 80 billion dollars, compared
With 81 billion dollars last year.
The largest percentage gain was his
estimate Of As percent for agricultural

W. H. Dickinson, who was one Of
MiSSoula's first postmasters and who
was also the first photographer in the
Bitter Root valley, was the hero of
an incident at the old trading post
at Fort Peck that made him reps1-
tation as an Indian fighter. The story
used to be wen known I'D and down
the Missouri river TO the old-time
trappers, traders and river men, but
there are few alive today who recol-
lect the event. Col c. r. CBilD Norris
OF Lewistown once related the story.
although he had forgotten the name
Of the hero of the tale. Curiouslv
enough, one OF the men who heard
Colonel Norris story happened to find
an account of the incident in an old
historical work on Montana, and thus
discovered that the man who figured
in it was Dickinson.
Old Fort Peck was one of the most
trading posts on the river.

Rv DENYING Wrightsvil1e Beach the right
to buy pump capable of delivering water
in sufficient quantities to control any fire
which might get start the WPB is jeopar-
dzing community which is taking an in
dispensable part in this areas war effort.
Furthermore, Wrightsville Beach is a resort
asset which will gain new and greater value
when the war is over and general travel is
resumed.
While the nation is concentrating so much
thought upon postwar programs is it too
much to think that community values should
be considered as well as national? If Wrights-
vile Beach were to be destroyed by fire,
and it might not always be as fortunate as
in these two recent ones, not only Wilmington,
but the state as whole and much of the
entire southeastern section of the country,
would be the loser And all because the
WPB prohibited the purchase of pump.

WPB To Blame

Twice in six months Wrightsville Beach has
had fires either of which could have wiped
out the resort, and would have done so but
for prompt aid from the Wilmington fire de-
partrnent and the Coast Guard
In both cases the Wrghtsville Beach fire
department was unable to meet the emer-
sency through no fault of its own but because
the War Production Board has persistently
refused priorities for pump on the ground
that the community does not serve essential
war plants.
This is a fallacy, as anyone would know
who took the trouble to learn the true stu
alton. 1t is true that no war plants are To-
Gated at Wrightsville. True, too, there is no
military post there. But because of the hous-
ing shortage in Wilmington mary scores of
war workers, with their families, and many
more scores of Army officers families dwell
there. With this residential importance and

This reviewer is not an expert

say whether Richard Abingdon

or even whether there are isolated
contributions scattered through the
book like citron through a fruit
cake. But he can say that "The
Duke" is the first book about Well
mgton he ever had fun reading.
1t is obvious that Mr.. Arlington
has tried hard to keep his head
and avoid too strenuous hero-wor-
ship. The Duke had his peculiari-
tles-he was pretty cold at times,
he disliked certain people very
much, and he was Almost mechan-
lcally a soldier. There was very
little of the Excelsior" spirit in
him, because most of his successes
cam as the result of long and
tedious preparation. But in the
Dukes case, this planning w S
done by himself, and not by SUBJ
ordinates. Once the plot was
made, again it was he who SUPER
vised the preparations. Then, when
came the trial by battle, the Duke

Well and good. But in truth one
must add that Mr.. Arlington sue
cumbs to the biographer's chronic
disease, which is that he is so at
tracted by his subject that his per-
spective is little distorted. It
may be that all Britain's ministers
and all his subordinate (and su-
perior) generals were as stupid as
they appear in The Duke" but it
is unlikely You feel that in the
main, the picture is accurate, for
nothing can be more stuffy than
a general staff on occasion. Still
For me the best part of 1.-The

ice in India and the long and in
volved story of tn Peninsular
Wars. Most of us have forgotten
that the gentleman did anything
but win the Battle of Waterloo,
and therefore the complicated and
often exasperating period in India
is practically new story. The
Penlnsular campaign is not so re-
mote, yet it, too, reads freshly.

Remember This

With such a large military segment in Will
mington's population and because Army re-
movals are liable to come at any time, it
seems advisable to note that the Cooperative
Concert Association, which is conducting its
membership campaign, will do all in its power
to resell any season tickets for purchasers
ordered away before the season is completed
There is usually waiting list, when the
enrolment has ended, anxious to snap up any
available memberships. While resale cannot
be guaranteed there is fair reason to think
that any member unable to enjoy the full
season, or any part of it, need not be out
of pocket.
Another thing. There can be no advance
announcement of the artists for the very good
reason that they cannot be selected until the
campaign is ended and the money with which
to engage them is known.
The fees to be paid are not uniform. The
better an artist is known the higher his rat
ing, the larger is his charge for appearance.
While all available performers are first rate,
some, necessarily, are rated above others,
and must be paid more.
Bear this is mind when you are solicited
f. membership. The more subscribers Sc
crAed, the better the entertainment. Under
any circumstances, 1t will all be good But
why not have the best?
