18TH AAF IN ITALY-Staff Serg

signifying that his unit, the Oldest

the enemy"
The action for which his organi-

when it led the heavy bombers of
the 18th air force against the air.

ers, probably destroyed three and

Left ''Kicks
Own Party,"I Is
F0rd'S View

LIVINGSTON-Gov. Sam c. Ford
lashed back at Judge Left Erickson
his Democratic opponent for cleo
ton to the governorship. DENYING
Erickson's assertions that the state
water conservation program during
Ford's administration has been AL
talk and no water"
Ford pointed out that two of the
three water conservation board are
members of the democratic party
and that when Erickson "goes
around saying that all the water
board has done is to talk about
water and do nothing about it, he
is kicking his party's national COM
mitteeman in the face and is charg-
ing that the man appointed by for
mel Governor Frank Cooney to help
launch this great program is a dud."
THE water conservation board is
nonpartisan," Ford said. I'm select
ing its members I have been mott
waited by the service they could give
to developing u water resources,
not by politics"
One of the members, D. P. Fabrick
of Choteau, was originally appointed
by Governor Cooney, and other is O..
S.. Warden of Great Falls, who
happens to be democratic national
committeeman and for years has
been president of the National Rec
lamation association" Ford said.
Although federal grants and war
time shortages of labor and mater
ials have curtailed contraction since
l941, the republican nominee said,
the board has procured construction
of projects to meet war food needs
conforming to the required produc-
ton for 1914.

Broad Facilities for Farm
Training in Glasgow School

Forty-six boys, now enrolled in the
four-year vocational agricultural ed
ucation course at the Glasgow high
school, have excellent facilities for
training in community leadership
and improved farm practices, said
Stephen Yrs, their instructor, this
week.
The classroom has a library OF
up-to-date reference material and
laboratory equipment, and the farm
shop is equipped for repair and ad-
justment of farm machinery and
construction of many needed farm
tools.
Through the supervised farm pro-
gram the student puts into practlce
his classroom knowledge on the
home farm, learning both farm pro-
duction and management. Parlia-
mentary procedure and training in
leadership is given in the meetings
of the Future Farmers of America.
Supervises Cannery
The community cannery is under
the supervision of the agricultural
department. Last week second year
agriculture classes picked beans and
corn at the CHARLES Mag farm, and
with first year and home economics
students, prepared and canned 302
cans of the produce for the hot
lunch program.
The second year class has also
been studying sheep breeds, breeding
and marketing, and last week judged
Columbian ewes at the Frank Fer
rim farm.
Farm management, tenancy and
leases and important considerations
in farm purchase are now being
studied by the fourth year students.

of the volunteer adult leaders
the scoutmasters, without whose
guidance and encouragement no
trooy could long continue. These
men are working harder and long
er in factories and offices. Many
are also air raid wardens and
victory gardeners. But their de-
votion to their scouts never falters,
which is higher compliment to
scouting than anyone else can pay,

NOT TOO BAD

W. Nv bal aE
Ground Hog day and gaining
of a speck more daylight and yet
so slight we hardly notice the
change. The early morning rising
hour still approaches cold and
dreary as the sky is dull and the
sun seems lost to hopeful souls
searching. Longer days, but warm
er weather still seems to be SO
far away. A prediction Of an I'M
usually lengthy winter due to
longer and heavier hair on certain
animals, puts spring some place
ahead Of us, serving just as pages
to come on our calendars. Win
ter's reputation for blasts and
thaws, billiards and sleet, ice and
snow, with monotonous gray days
running into each other and win
dows frosted as lights that seem
uninviting cold shoulder the froz-
en- ground around. We have for
gotten those days past when the
wind was not so frigid but almost
balmy, when it seemed time to dig
up the seed catalig and we fidg-
eted in clothing too heavy for the
days temperature.
The American may be busy
man but he isn't too tired and
fed up with winter work and
slush that he allows skating, ski
ing, hunting and bob-sledding to
be omitted or a hay-ride or sleigh
ride to be overlooked. Winter is
not washed up when there is a
log fire in front Of which to read
and toast toes as your back chills
and the comfortable feeling Of
listening to wind whistling
around the corners outside isn't
gone just because room tempera-
lures in homes have been re-
duced.

DO YOU MEASURE UP?
The Fourth War Loan Drive j,

The Fourth War Loan Drive is
in full swing. And now is good
time to address a word to the in
dividual whose principal motive
in buying bonds is the attainment
of future financial security and a
regular income from interest pay
ments on the bonds. The trouble
with this type of bond buyer is
that when further purchases be-
come inconvenient and no longer
fit his investment program" he
tends to keep his pocket buttoned.
He claims that he has done his
share. The time is long past for
this line Of thinking.
Bonds today must be bought by
individuals in prodigious quanti-
ties. Patriotism, not personal prof
it, should compel their purchase.
AS matter of fact, if we mean
what we say in glowing tributes
to freedom and our professed will
ingness to make sacrifices to win
the war, we should be glad to buy
bonds regardless of interest en-
Elements.
Unless bond buying, in the last
analysis, is wholly dictated by the
urge to cast our lot so far as pos
sible with the men at the front,
we can lay no claim to being patri-
otto. Real patriots care not a
whit for personal security or profit
when their nation is in peril.
Our freedom Is in deadly peril
because too many people are work
ing for time and a half instead of
for victory. The Fourth War Loan
Campaign is an opportunity to
turn over q new leaf. Buy bonds
for the sake of your country-and
forget yourself. IF you do this,
you can justly call yourself true
American.
