A Memorial to McHenEy; He
Remained an IndividualiSt

followed with the presentation of a
money gift to him. Mac agreed with
a guileful look. When called on, ne
stood before some so ranchers ano
gave a 15-minute grafton on MS
latest old-age pension scheme, COM
pletely ignoring the reservoir.
He Ran Restaurant
In later years, McHenry PAID llttle
attention to business. But about ten
years ago he and a retired sheep
herder decided to operate a rest
aurant here. The partnership had a
limited capital and, when someone
gave an order, it was usually nee
essary for one of the partners 10
hotfoot it to the nearest butcher
shop for a dimes worth OF nam
burger or a pork chop.
Macs credit remained good in
many places and some refused 70
charge him at all. He never abused
this privilege.
It was last fall that McHenry fell
afoul of the army. He had gone 10
the railway yards here to make a
check of all tank cars. He had an
nounced that these cars were his
personal property and that ne
meant to keep good track OF them.
Sauntering easterly and putting
his cigar, Mac wandered into an
area where no civilian was supposed
to be, and certainly not with a
cigar. A military guard spied
him from the rear and challenged
him. Mac, who was deaf, did not
hear him and continued his leisurely
walk. The guard called again, but
fortunately did not fire his gun. He
then halted the innocent McHenry:
An investigation followed but local
officers explained the whole thing
satisfactorily to the military.
So go the stories of McHenry,
some of them by o almost
legendary in Glasgow. Some say his
asst words in the hospital were
about new political plans he was
Matching. In all sincerity and affec-
ion, he will certainly be missed.

catch-can games between raids on
Japanese installations and shipping
to relieve the tension and bolster
morale. The Montana h~ardballer
was in the South Pacific as a
member of the famous 10Th Bomb
Group from January 1912 to Febru-
airy 1913. He served as a tail gun
ner on a flying fortress, operating
out of New Guinea and Australia.
Burns contends that whenever
the boys could they would play base
ball. The league was made up of
various air force squadrons and a
team from a nearby coast artillery
unit.
"The Australians don't play base
ball." said Burns, $50 we had to
make our w diamonds. One time
we played the 22nd transport
squadron at Townsville, Australia.
We took a race track and made it
into a ball park. The Australians
we're curious so we invited them to
attend, mimeographing the rules of
the game and describing it briefly
so they would know what was 60
ing on. About 5000 Aussies came
to see that game. They seemed to
get a thrill out of it."
Before Burns enlisted in the
Army Air Forces he played ball
with Laurel, Billings and Butte.
Throughout his baseball career he
either played at short or third. He
batted 1888 with Butte and about
$50 with Laurel.
Burns also played with the Alex
andria Army Air Field Bombers

age.

March 20, by V-mail:
Hello, Friends! l say friends be-
cause the Outlook certainly has
been a very welcome friend to me.
1 didn't get it for quite some time
and | wondered about it, but within
the last week | received about six
different issues, and l guess it must
have been all mixed up somewhere.
l am in Italy nov and l like the
country very much. I've been all
through Africa and l have seen
Sicily. l find that most of this
country greatly resembles Montana.
Of course there just isn't any place
quite like home. 1 like the noun
tains, but they often get a soldier
down, especially if he has to climb
over or around many of them.
Thank you very much for the
paper, and 1 assure you that it is
deeply appreciated not only by my
self but by many others who are
far from home.
Pvt. John L. Tubman, Butte,
April 8:
l have successfully passed the ex-
animation for enlistment in the
United States marine corps, and am
leaving for San Diego, Calf, where
l expect to be stationed for the next
three months.
M. Sgt. Lyndon C. Gemmill, Eng

It's nearly nine months that we've
spent in the E. T. o. Ours is call
ed foreign SERVICE" but the things
a person associates with that term
are surely lacking here. England is
as fine place as a fellow could hope
to be outside the U. S. There's no
worry e personal security, our
conditions are comparable to
those in the States, and I've found
people to be the finest
hosts. | am still anxious to get
home, but selfishly wish to stay
here for the duration.
Every copy of the Outlook has
come to me. 1t helps a lot in keep
ing account of people and places l
hope to see again soon. l wish to

who help financially, for its con-
delivery. q,
