Late leila N. Morgan

Travelling all the way from his
home at Chemawa, Oregon to
perform the last sad office for
the dead. the Rev. Allen Wilcox,
former local Methodist pastor,
spoke out of the fnlIness of heart
in a magnificent tribute at the

Morgan, held in the high school
auditorium last Friday afternoon.
A member of his church, one
W h o devotion to Christian
tenets inspired her to be active
in the varied programs and func-
tions of that denomination, the
speaker eIoquentIy sketched her
girlhood, pointing out that one of
her striking qualities was h r

Granting that she was brilliant
of mind, he said. it was her de-
termination to surmount a diff

life's worthwhile values h a t
made her praiseworthy.
The speaker cited how she as
school student strove for the
varied honors that were to be at
tanned only by energy and effort.
An honor student of the 1914
graduating class, she lived to in
spire others.
Even though h e fuller tri-
umph, the fruition that follows
youth preparation she sought so
earnestly, sc MEG frustrated.
there was comfort in pondering
the higher destiny that awaited
her, the speaker pointed out.
He stressed how lives conse.
Grated to beautiful Christian
faith, as was Martawn's, could
accomplish seeming miracles, cit
ing testimony to bear out that If
one desires nobly and deeply in
his heart the benevolence of
Higher Power, h e seeming
miracle will come to pass, since
it is of the substance of faith.
Through the sermon there ran
the golden thought that Martawn
Morgrn in death had proven that
fine character and we'll placed
loyalties and devotions loom as
the most precious treasures.

The chief commiSSary steward S
first landing at the Italian beach
head came when the Coast Guard
landing craft carried some 200 Brit
ish troops to the mainland.
And they got what it takes, "
he declared. They we're a part of
a commando unit and there was
only one American Army officer
aboard"
News of Surrender.
The news of the surrender of
Italy was broadcast to the ships
on the way over, Mr.. White said.
There was great rejoicing and the
British chaplain called a special
service. Every one figured it would
be much easier to take Salerno then,
but they knew different before they
landed. You could see smoke and
fire on the beachhead and you
knew plenty was going on.
The Coast Guard ship returned
to South Salerno two days later
to land Negro working party
where the Liberty ships were UNI
loading.
There were raids every night but
not in the daytime he recounted.
They would drop flares down to
see where we were and then rain
bombs down on u.s.. They didn't
hit any of us, but it was no fun"
From South Salerno the craft
moved up to the main beachhead
but "our troops hadn't even moved.
For % days we did nothing but
carry the wounded out to the hos
pital ships. Some died on the way
and we had to dispose of them, be-
cause the hospital ships would not
take any dead"
Emergency Treatment.
The worst cases, he explained,
received emergency. treatment at
the field hospitals, but many of the
wounded were picked up by the
Coast Guardsmen right on the
beach where they had fallen. Mr.
White, in addition to his ship du-
ties, served as stretcher bearer.
The Coast Guardsmen also par
ticipated in the invasion of Sicily
His craft was the first to land troops
at Lacata Beach. There was heavy
fire, he recalled, and it looked Just
like a Fourth of July picnic"
In the firing, he continued, two
ships on the side of us were hit,
but the boys were in good spirits
and weren't afraid"
The invasion was made, he said,
by a fiotilla of "a landing craft,
each carrying about 200 men.
The day before we pulled out, the
soldiers came aboard with full kit, "
he declared There were lot of
rumors about where we were going
and every one thought this was it.
We anchored overnight. That night
there was one of the largest air raids
we had had but none of the ships
were hit.
Just about the closest call the
Coast Guardsman had during his
entire combat duty came when they
were pulling away from Salerno on
the first trip.
Eve almost foated into a mine, .
he declared. THE lookout watch
saw it first just off stern and hol-
Tered and yelled his head off. We
only missed it by two feet We
didn't have the guns to explode it
so we called over patrol ship to do

FORD SEEKS
REELECTION

Pledging his administration to
continue to administer the at
fairs of the state government
the people of Montana" Gov
ernor Sam c. Ford Wednesday
filed with the secretary of state
his petition for the nomination
for governor on the Republican
ticket.
Continued efficiency, econ
omy, energy in administration;
a square deal for all" is the
slogan he asks to be placed I'M
der his name on the ballot.
Governor Ford, Montana's
World War II chief executive,
was Montana's World War I
attorney General. Later he was
associate Justice of the supreme
court. Born in Kentucky and
reared and educated in Kansas,
he came to Montana in 1905.
From 1908 to 1914 he was as
sistant United States district at
torney, after which he was in
the private practice of law in
Helena until he was elected at
torney general in 1916.
Governor Ford in his nomin-
alton petition also pledged his
administration to work for fur
ther reduction Of taxes and fur
Their improvement of state fin
ances; maintain the upward
trend of assistance to the aged
and unfortunate; carry on the
fight to save Montana'S water
and other resources for Mont
ana'S people; keep Montana'S
full weight in the war and be
ready for the postwar crisis"
The state government Is in
the best financial condition in
its history, Governor Ford said
in a statement Wednesday. He
pointed out that when he took
office in January 1941, there was
a general fund overdraft of
more than SCI 900, compared
with a balance of S3,625, 900 on
April l this year.
While the general fund was
rising in the surplus column,
state taxes were being reduced,
Governor Ford showed. He cited
that the taxpayers of Montana
have saved S. $1,000, 900 because of
the illumination in the last
two years of the property tax
levy for state general fund pur-
poses. The state board of equal
ization indicated to the governor
The Hardin tribune-herald. [volume] (Hardin, Mont.) 1925-1973, 1944-04-20

that the tax will not be levied
in 1914.

duced S ,378,O00 Sinking fund
requirements to retire the bonds
when they are due are being ex-
ceeded, the governor said.
In reviewing his administrat-
ion, Governor Ford cited that
much emphasis has been put
during the fight last year
to save Montana's water re-
sources from outside usurpation,
notably the resistance that St

to raise the level of F1athead
