EUREKA
LINCOLN co. HIGH SCHOOL
COMMENCEMENT

The Lincoln County High School
commencement exercises were
splendidly carried out and attend
ed by a good sized audience. The
members OF the class who had a
part in the program did their
work in a manner that gave pleas
ure to the audience; their voices
carried well and their words were
distinct and clearly understood by
the listeners. The musical 5alec-
tons, under the direction of Miss
Mary Stevens, were enjoyable: The
class members appeared in caps and
gowns and wore the class flower,
white carnation, and were serious
and dignified in their demeanor.
The diplomas were presented by
County Superintendent of Schools,
Mrs. Jessie S. Fagerberg. Four d.
plomaS were granted in absentia--
to Charles Soldering, Clarence Bea-
gle, James Howe and Kenneth Nc
Allister, these men being in the u.
S. armed forces.
The commencement address, de-
ivered by Dr. Edward Krug OF the
Dept. Of Education, Montana UNI
versity, was exceptional both in
thought and in manner OF delivery.
The ideas he presented were timely
and significant. His delivery was
one Of ease and simplicity; at no
time did he refer to his manuscript,
which naturally increased its eff
fectiveness. DR.. Krug's address was
on "Your Future Job in the Post
War World" He urged all who had
special talents to develop those tai
ents to the utmost. Federal, states
and communities will all plan post
war jobs, and there will be work
for all, but the greater the individ-
uals talent and ability, the greater
and more attractive will be the OPP
portunities for such individual.
The baccalaureate sermon deliv-
cred by the Rev. John T. Hall Of
Cambridge, Idaho. was Of high
quality and we'll received by those
present AT the close of the SER
mon, the benediction was given by
Father Delaney of the local church.
This school year ends Principal
Days work as teacher in Eureka.
It can be said without the slightest
fear of contradiction that under his
direction Lincoln County High at
tanned a position in the school world
that is not excelled by any other
institution in its Glass; Principal
Day has not announced his plans
for the future, but whatever they
may be, Eureka wishes him we'll

HARTMAN MAKES
GAINS IN MOSCOW
By EDDY GILMORE

MOSCOW, March 5.|R- - Up
In five months as ambassador,
William Averell Hartman has
streamliaed U. S. representation
in Moscow.
He brought in Maj. Gen. ]. Rus
sell Deane to direct a combined
military mission with supervision
over the military and naval at
taches and the American supply
mission, coordinating the three
branches and eliminating the pos
sibility of friction and duplication
in their work.
Brig. Gen. Philip R. Faymon-
vile, head Of the supply mission,
Brig. Gen. Epha Michalea, mill
tary attache, and Rear Admiral
Jack Duncan, naval attache, were
replaced, respectively, by Brig.
Gen. Sidney Spaulding, Brig. Ges1.
William E. Crlst and Rear Admir-
al Clarence E. Olsen.
The veteran Maxwell Hamilton
remained as minister, providing
a background of experience for
the new ambassador.
With this staff functioaing
smoothly, Hartman set out to
know Russia and the Russians as
intimately as possible - and in
spite of the fact that he does not
know the language he has sue
ceeded in making countless
friends.
Hartman already knew some OF
the foremost figures in the Soviet
government. While U. S. minister
to Britain, where he handled
lend-lease, he made two trips to
Moscow, once with Prime Minis
ter Churchill and once with Lord
Beaverbrook, who at the time was
minister of supply.
With the pressure OF handling
many details of the Moscow and
Teheran conferences off his Shout
ders, he has been circulating
among the Russians perhaps more
than any other American ambas-
sador ever did.
He has invited constant stream
of guests to Spasso house-mem-
bers of the Politburo, high gener'
ais. officials of the foreign office,
Soviet newspaper men, authors,
actresses, ballerinas, singers and
musicians.
His daughter, Kathleen, serving
as his official hostess, has been Of
great assistance. She too is vel.
liked by the Russians, high and
low, for her democratic ways
There was much approval of hel
recent participation in slalom
ski meet which she entered with
out fanfare.
Hartman is a tireless cautious
worker. Some of his accomplish
ments may not be known to the
public for a considerable time -
some not until after the war -
but they have been considerable
They have gained goodwill for the
United States and respect fol
