Plan Survey To Find
Jobs Avuiluble for
Returning Soldiers

The steering committee for
the Economic Development Com
mittee of Big Horn county held
their initial meeting Tuesday
night in the courthouse with ten
members present. E. S. Mcintyre
was elected chairman of the
group, Albert Sheets of Wyola,
vice chairman and c. D. Good
now, Secretary-teraSurer.
This committee was formed in
Hardin to make a survey Of thu
rural and residential districts OF
the county to determine the ap-
proximate number of jobs that
would be available to returning
soldiers and workers from the
congeSted defense centers. A
survey will also be taken
throughout the county to deter
mine as closely as possible thu
buying power and the articles
that are to be purchased by To-
cal residents following the war.
The results of these surveys will
give the committee a Slide-rule
whereby they can guage post
war business.
All results of the survey will
be handled in such a manner
that their identity will not be
available to any person or
group of persons, it was stated.
George w. Gustafson, commit
tee member, stated that the
survey was already under way in
the rural districts of the county.
The Committee for Economic
Development is of national
scope and is being worked out
in many communities in the
United States. The plan used by
the committee of Albert Lea,
Mimi, is being used as a guild
ing chart for many commurl-
tiles that are now organizing.
Other business to come before
the meeting of the group Tues
day night was the discussion OF
finances. Each civic organization
in the county will be asked for
a small sum to carry the expense
of the comittee, it was decided.
A round table discussion Of
the meeting held here last
Thursday, which was attended
by A.. T. Peterson and w. q.
Ferguson of Montanans Incor-
porated, was held. It was
brought out that statistics show
that more than 1000 people have
left Big Horn county to enter
the armed services or defense
work, and in all probability the
majority of those persons plan
to return to this area. A ques-
tionaire regarding their inten-
tions to return as well as what
business line they intend to fol-
low will be sent to former Big
Horn county residents.
Following the compilation OF
all the statistics cleaned from
the various surveys the COM
mittee can Judge the future bus
mess outlook for this area, it
was stated.
Another meeting of the steer
ing committee is planned for
the near future.

Ordnance Designs
 Ingenious Test
 For Tank Mines

!, WASHINGTON - An ingenious method for testing the. effective ness of antitank mines, used against enemy armored forces in Italy and the Southwest Pacific, has been devised by the Ordnance De- partment, the War Department an- nounced recently.
 Samples of the deadly traps are tested at Army Ordinances vast Jefferson Proving Ground near Madison, Ind.
 From a temporary tripod, heavy weights are suspended directly over the assembled mine from the ver- tex of the tripod and held in place by stout tape. Wires are strung from cap fastened to the top of the tripod to a bomb proof shelter of steel and concrete safe distance away. An electric current detonates the blasting cap, allowing the weights to fall on the mine. This action stimulates the weight of an enemy tank passing over the trap causing it to explode with a devas- tating roar.
 The Jefferson Proving Ground, covering 56,0O0 acres, has as its mission the proof testing of artil- tilery projectiles, bombs, grenades, and mines, and other explosive and non-explosive missiles manufac- tured- in American factories for use by combat troops.

Q. When I went into the Army in 1922 had no need for National Service Life Insurance. Now I'm married, however, and I'd like to take out policy. I've been told that because l didn't apply before Aug. 10, 1943, I am no longer eligible for insurance. Is this true?
 A. No. You have been misin- formed. You may still apply for National Service Life Insurance but you will have to pass another medical examination before the in surance is approved. Aug. 10, 1943, was merely the last day on which a serviceman could get insurance without medical examination.
 Q. Lately I have noticed officers wearing Good Conduct ribbons. I thought this decoration was for enlisted men only. How about it?
 A. True, the Good Conduct Med al is not awarded to officers. But officers who won them while they were enlisted men may continue to wear them after they have been mmissioned.

WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT YOUR INSURANCE?

The most important matter to be considered, once National Service Life Insurance has been applied for is the correct establishment of ben efciaries. The obvious purpose ot insurance is the protection of de- pendents in case of accident to the insured. If the dependent is not correctly named, the purpose of the policy is defeated.
 If there have been any changes involving your immediate family, if you have been married recently, for example, be sure your insur- ance policy is brought up to date. See your squadron or group insur- ance officer who will provide you with form enabling you to change your beneficiary officially.
 There is another matter of ex- treme importance that has come to the attention of officials repeatedly of late. Your beneficiary, even though properly named in your policy, will not be paid benefits un- less he or she can provide the Vet erans' Administration authorities with certified birth certificate, and in the case of wife with certi- fled marriage certificate. Tell your benefciaries now to procure these certified documents. Otherwise they may have to wait for months for payment of benefits from your pol icy.
 Your policy exists for your bene- ficiaries. Be sure they are correct fly established and that they under stand their responsibilities.

A Uhaplatn' B UhnnghtH

More than one hundred fifty years ago, bell rang out pro- claiming freedom to great nation in the embryonic stage. If you would examine the inscription you would see a Biblical quotation en- graved on it's face, Proclaim lib- erty throughout the land, unto the inhabitants thereof"
 The duty of the bell was to sound out clarion call to all that heard its vibration that LIBERTY" was in process-was to be achieved. What was behind each note? Our forefathers believed that every man was of intrinsic worth, that man was and is a divine creation, not an animal, and that he is attired with tremendous potentialities. They be- lieved that man had dignity. The summation was Democracy-"the worth and dignity of man."
 We who are in the Armed Forces today must believe in our hearts that we are fighting for these prin- ciples established when the Liberty Bell proclaimed the first message. We are fighting for principles that revolve around the issue of what kind of issues should rule our lives. We shall determine for years to come whether we shall walk arm in-arm or march as group of goose-stepping slaves, to nation drunk with power.
 We still fight tyrannical ideals that people belong to the Govern ment. We believe the Government was created for and by the people. We maintain the right of freedom of worship, speech, press and free dom from fear. We shall never sub scribe to the suppression of the birth right of the individual by the overweening arrogance of the State.
 The Liberty Bell shall again ring and when it peels forth it's resonant sound, it will be for the entire world, spelling in music the philo- sophy of freedom, that all men are created equal. God helping us-it can be done.

Weekly Orientation Chat
THE WAR THIS WEEK

On New Years day Adolph Hitler greeted the German people with these words, "In this war there will be ne victors and vanquished, but merely survivors and annihilated." This week the German General Karl ven Rus stedt, chief of the Nazi anti-invasioa forces on the French coast, delineated his preparations to enable Germany ts survive a western frontal attack by the Allies. He described the French coast defenses as better than the Mag mot Line, and called attention to the strong strategic situation of the Ger man nation and the high morale of the German soldier. Simultaneously the Allies were per- suing the determined destruction of the Nazi capital. On Tuesday night, February l7, the RAF launched the greatest aerial assault on Berlin. One thousand British four-motored bomD- CTS roared over the Reich ;one hundred of these made feint for Frankfurt drawing off enemy fighter planes. This strategy, in addition to the use of the new Halifax III bomber, and the AL lied long range fighter escort, made the raid successful with comparatively few losses. Twenty-eight hundred tons of bombs were poured on the city in 30 minutes, bringing the total tonnage dropped in the IS raids since Novem- Der IS, 1943 to 26,360 tons as compar- ed with 7,500 tons dropped on London in the lo40-41 attacks. As a result, it is estimated that third of Berlin is in ruins.
