ceived Jack Ayers is still actively con-
nected with the Montana Liquor Con
troll Board four years after the people
of Montana voted Roy Ayers out of
office for his blatant disregard of his
responsibilities as governor of this
state.
This letter is prompted by your

of December 31st.
| wonder if you are attempting to
whitewash Gov. Sam G. Ford. Please
remember that he retained the Hitler
bill in the last session of the legisla-
ure so he would have complete con-

NAZI CENSORSHIP frightened

Wary of espionage and the inno-
cent leakage of vital war information,
nazi authorities have frightened the re-
strictions on sending mail from Ger
many to neutral countries, the Ger
man DNB agency disclosed in a dis
patch for domestic press consump-
ton
Germans writing letters to persons
in neutral countries, DNB said, will
henceforth be required to deliver the
letters personally to post offices and
present two certificates, one bearing
a photograph of the sender and the
other containing a record of all pre-
vious letters sent by him to foreign
destinations Writers will be re-
stricted to two letters per month per
person, according to DNB, which said
the new regulations also forbade the
sending of gramophone records and
messages of all kinds recorded by
technical means"

Helena, Montana.
Dear Mr.. Bruce:
One night in late October, when I
was far from sober
Returning with my load with manly
pride.
My feet began to stutter, so | lay
down in the gutter
And a pig came near and lay down
by my side.
Then l warbled, "Its fair weather
when good fellows get together"
When lady passing by was heard
to say:
you can tell the man who boozes
By the company he chooses"
And the pig got up and slowly
walked away.
Four years ago the big issue before
the people of Montana was whether
or not we have to have our state gov
eminent run by plundering gang
headed by an ex-convict who con-
trolled the monopoly liquor system of
Montana.
Rumors are rife in this part of the
state that the Montana Liquor Control
Board is still being corrupted by the
same evil forces so prevalent through
out the Ayers administration.

aliases as the recipient of large sums
