AN AMERICAN GIFT
BY RUTH TAYLOR

There was a story in the paper the
ether morning which couldn't have
Happened any place but in America
and which to my mind expresses beau
t.iully the spirit that is America.
An original parchment manuscript
Of the Bill Of Rights, embodying the
carly amendments to the Constitu-
ton Of the United States. affirming
freedom Of speech, religion, press ard
assembly, was presented to the Lii
braY Of Congress-not by a descen-
dant Of one of the signers, not by a
man whose forefathcrs fought in the
War Of the Revoluti0n-but by a see
ond generation American, the son Of
immigrant parents.
This gift was made in the spirit of
gratitude for the freedom which its
donors parents found here. that free
com which he himself so enjoyed and
cherished. What could be more ex-
pressive Of America than that the son
Of immigrants could have progressed
to such a point Of financial indepen-
Once in this country as to be able to
purchase such a rare item? And what
could be more fitting than that he an
American by birth, commemorated
the memory of his parents, Americans
by choice, by giving to the American
people this great manuscript?
In accepting the parchment. the
Librarian Of Congress wrote: "The
manuscript Of the Bill of Rights is
the only one Of the basic documents
needed to complete our holdings. can
think Of no act of generosity to the
people of the United States which
would have more meaning at this time
or to be more widely appreciated than
the gift Of this particular document"
It is a particularly significant thing
that the manuscript of the Bill of
Rights should have been given back
to the American people by one of
whom the Bill of Rights has meant so
much.
But, after all, that is America: A
nation founded not on a code of laws.
Of regulations and restrictions. but
upon a Bill Of Righs for all people
A land that has given refuge to the
downtrodden and depressed peoples
from all nations, atfording those who
had intelligence and emery the OPP
poltunity Of becoming useful citizens
Of brave new world; A country
where the least may become the great
est, where each has the power to make
contribution to the common melting
pct.
We Americans have cause for graf:
tudo not only for this gift but fer the
Tact that our country, our nation, our
way of life, inspired the gift. In ac-
ccpting it, let us in our own hearts
pledge ourselves to the continuation
and implemantation Of that self-same
Bill of Rights 50 that it may serve as

New Plan For Draft

date from Congress for pre-inductlon
physical tests and eliminating uncer-
tainty by draft eligibles over whether
their physical condition meets service
standards, the new system will work
in this manner:
Men in class IA who are about
due for a call to service will be dis
patched to induction stations. There
they will be examined by army and
navy physicians. All will be sent back
home as civilians with those who are
found acceptable having assurance
that they will not be ordered to re-
port for induction for at least three
weeks.
1t is intended as a pool of physic-
ally acceptable men is built up, to
afford an even longer period between
examination and induction, but if a
man is not indicted within ninety
days a new pre-induction examination
Will be required.
The army and navy examiners also
will classify acceptable men in three
groups - "army general service"
, army limited service" and navy"
(including marines and coast guard
according to their physical condi-
ton. The navy demands q slightly
higher degree of physical fitness than
does the army.
The army accepts for limited serv-
ice men with physical defects barring
them from general service.
Thereafter, calls to local boards
will be for definite number of army
general service, army limited service,
and navy men instead of for an over
all total Of men as at present.
The classification by induction
doctors. however, will be simply a tag
of the degree Of physical fitness. As
far as practicable, wishes Of the
/ drafted man regarding the branch of
! service he enters will be followed.
Present System
The present system Of sending men
/ to induction stations for examination
and immediate induction will continue
in use for meeting this months draft
/ quotas Boards also will begin i'm
mediately to send men to the stations
under the new system in order to get
it fully into operation by February |.
The present screening" eXamina-
! ton is given in the draft registrant's
home community to screen out those
obviously physically unfit for the
armed services. Although it is offici-
ally abolished, any registrant who be-
iicves he has an obvious defect may
request and be given an examination
by a local board physician
Also any man who wishes no delay
will, on request, be indicted immedi-
ately after passing his physical exam
ination rather than being returned
home as a civilian

Shortage Forseen If
Harvest Is Delayed
By Bad Weother

If storms delay workers there
may be a serious labor shortage
for the Big Horn county beet
harvest according to George W.
Gustafson. county extension ag-
ent and information received
from R. E. Bodley, state super
visor of the farm labor program
for Montana.
The sugar beet harvest Is
scheduled to begin on Monday,
Sept. Is, but so far not enough
labor has been recruited to take
care of the crop, it was stated.
A group of German prisoners
of war will arrive the last Of
the week to begin work on Mon
day. About $50 are expected. APP
proximately 200 Mexican nat
ionals, American Mexicans and
Japanese evacuees will be avail
able at that time. It is expected
that additional Mexican Nation
ais will be brought into the area
to help. On Wednesday 80 of
them arrived. However, at pres
ent, the number of laborers is
very much short of the total
number needed.
Anyone either in town or on
a farm in Big Horn county who
can possibly help with the har-
vest of sugar beets is urged to
volunteer to do so this week. IF
the weather is favorable, there
should be very little trouble in
caring for the present crop, but
with bad-weather handicap, the
situation may be serious before
the season is over.
It is hoped that school child
rem will not have to be called on
as beet workers, but it may be
necessary to ask them to help
as a last resort, Mr.. Gustafson
said.
