ORANGE BOWL SET
FOR AIR ATTACKS
By CHICK HOSCH

ATLANTA. Dec. 49, (R That
Orange Bowl affair at Miami, pit
ting Georgia Tech and Tulsa,
might develop into a typical south
west conference game, on the bas-
is of the teams aerial attacks this
year.
Georgia Tech is the real culprit,
having scored two-thirds of its
touchdownS via passes in complet-
ing 120 of 240 losses, an average
of "a per game. The 80 the En-
gineers threw in the seasons fin
ale against Georgia may have set
some sort of a record, with %
of them completed for 343 yards.
The Tulsa club averaged a frac-
ton under 20 passes a game, 178
all told, with 102 completed for
10 yards per toss. Techs avera sc
is just under Is yards.
However, in bearing Tulsa, 20
IS, in the last Sugar Bowl classic,
Tech completed only four Of Is at
tempts. Tulsa completed over half
of its aerials, nine out of Is.

Beauty Unsurpassed

Despite all the misery that sense
less man has brought onto the
world, it is we'll to be alive these
days. One could easily grow elo-
quent over all the magnificent beau
ties of the mountains and forests
now that they have been touched by
Jack Frost on his annual visit. Here
in northwest Montana everything Is
serene. A glorious splendor meets
ones eyes whatever direction one
may look 1t is beyond the power Of
mere man adequately to describe
the changing vistas. that unfold be
fore one as one drives or walks
abroad these lovely fall days.
The mountainsides are clothed
with the gold Of the frost-touchod
tamaracks, interlaced with the dark
greens of the pines and frs. The
valleys hold masses of brilliant
yellows and reds and browns The
ground in many places is carpeted
inches deep with a covering Of gold
from falling leaves. And over all
there is the warm kiss of the benign
sun. A touch of frost in the air
lends a tang to existence and a
{ lift to ones innermost being.
A poet once said.
The frost has opened the chestnut
burrs,
And the nuts fall lazily two and
three,
The squirrel chatters, the part
ridge whirs,
And the red-capped woodpecker
bores his tree.
Yes, its glorious to be alive these
days. Let US hope and pray that
man will soon forget his madness
and return to sanity and that once
again we can enjoy the glorious
beauty of a beautiful world without
there creeping in a sadness because
Of the horror that man has brought
into an otherwise lovely abode.

Montonons Ask Who
Is Sidney HiIImon

Many Montanans having heard OF
Sidney Hillman-as connected with
the present political campaign, and
as one of the foster fathers of PAC,
which has come into Montana and
entered actively into the political
campaign-endorsing Lief Erickson
for Governor. Sidney Hillman has
long been known in New York as
a rabble-rousing union organizer.
His one aspiration is to take over
control of the Democratic party, and
thus far he has done very well in
this ambition as it is generally
known fact. that the overthrow Of
Henry Wallace at the Democratic
convention in Chicago was done at
Hillmans bidding
Briefly Hillman is Russian born
agitator, who Was associated with the
Communist movement in that coun-
try. He fled to England in 1907
and landed in Chicago few months
later. He was educated for rabbi,
but turned out to be pants maker.
During his sojourn in the United
States he has always been asso-
ciated with the left-Wing or radical
group Of seaboard labor unions, par
ticularly the CLIO groups. In 1921 lie
tied up with Communist groups and
twice visited Russia; the first trip
climaxing in call on Nicolai Lenin,
the famed Bolshevist leader.
The Dies Committee reported that
'Hillman was involved not only in
large schemes to finance Communist
industry in Russia, but also a large
project to finance communistic SUBJ
versive activities in the United
States" Associated with Hillman in
CIO activities is Earl BroWder, erst-
while Communist candidate for
president but who is now urging
a. fourth term for President Roose-
welt. BroWder served time for draft
evasion in the last war and re-

by the President before a large
part of his term had been served.
The PAC, which has been under
the tutelage of Jerry O'Connell in
Montana, has brought into the state
a large campaign fund and crew
of professional political workers
from out of the state. O'Connell said
at the beginning of the campaign
that the air of this leftist organiza-
ton was "a job at union wages on
farm, business, or profession that

Talks To School
On Columbus Day
BY Powell and Apologize

The Rev John OMalley. st.
Joseph's Catholic church. urged
young people of today to be as dar-
ing and courageous as Columbus
was in his time. Father O'Malley
stressed his appeal in talk he pre-
sented to the high school assembly
on Columbus Day.
In his talk he indicated how Col
umbus brought the old world and
the new world closer together He
compared the facilities of Columbus
time and the present.
Father O'Malley also classified
the people in the world as follows:
the wills" the "won'ts' and the
"can'ts.' The wills he said, can
do anything. The "won'ts" oppose
everything, and the "cants' don't
do anything. Father O'Malley also
urged the pupils to forge ahead and
discover a new peaceful and happy
world.

there is in process moral and Dsy-
