PEOPLE WANTING NEW
HOMES FORWARD PLANS
TO FILA FOR APPROVAL

Several people have forwarded
plans to the FILA for approval in
connection with the authorized
building of 40 new housing units at
Laurel, President Charles Giblin of
the Commercial club said this week.
He added that authorities have done
what they can to relieve the hous-
ing shortage and the next move is
up to the people affected.
Forty units were recently auth
orized by FHA-30 new and 10
conversions. They may be built by
individuals or contracting firms for
sale or rent to people in designated
essential industries. Building plans
have to be approved by the Helena
office of FILA. Dealers in materials
are acquainted with requirements,
Giblin said, and are able to furnish
more detailed information to those
wishing to build.
Most affected are those people
occupying rented properties which
have been sold and from which
present occupants will have To move
in the next few weeks or months.
Should the government build the
houses the properties would have 10
be torn down after the war, which
is not desired as it is believed the
additional units will be needed in
The steps are to adopt building
plans and specifications meeting ap-
prevail of FILA, submit the plans to
the Helena office, give the method
Of financing and clearly designate
the units are to be owned or
rented by people in specified es-
industries. The construction
may be done by any qualified build
ar or contractor.

MAYBE IT'S ME!
By Ruth Taylor

When everything is crossWays and upset. when you
feel that all those around you are either manger1ng or
doing their jobs badly, when you are overwhelmed by
the Grass stupidity and neciency of those in authority
then is the time to stop and say Maybe it's me!'
Self-searching is of the cardinal principles a
first factor in establishing good public relations No
competent advisor this important subject would start
his work by attacking the action of competitors He begins
his task by of his clients business and attitudes
He makes very sure that there flaws, errors
to be corrected at home before he starts to public
opinion abroad
Maybe it's mew We must apply this same routine
in considering relations with those with whom we
come in contact Are people always fighting US? What
perpetual chip upon our shoulders? Have been in
terested only rights and in problems?
Are we misunderstood by fellow men? Well, what
been attitude toward others? Have been open
and friendly ready understand and to be understood
have assumed take it leave it, attitude? Calling
up the past works both ways.
We cannot create good feeling by force We cannot
legslate friendship We cannot get full cooperation
demand But-we draw to ourselves all these things
by attitudes
We like people who like us. We are friendly toward
those who give friendship We consderate of those
who fair Don't forget however, that this works
in reverse we'll.
Maybe it's me!' Maybe the trouble is with us Let's
be attitude is right before we start crt-
czng the other fellow Let's some sef-searching and
some self-straightening first.
Let's not be so quick the trigger to defend our
selves If actions right we don't have to put
up defensive just have to tell the facts Let's be
reader to understand the opinion and wishes of others and
deal with them as we wish them to deal with u.s.

coverings in the watershed area,
impoverishing the soil and allow
ing a quick run-off of water.
Hillside clearing of land is still
practiced in many sections and soil
erosion is prevalent. The officials
ask the cooperation of all land
owners and tenants in helping to
correct these conditions.
Director Schaub points out that
sound technical advice on timber
protection. management, and harv-
esting will be made available to
farmers throughout the western
part of the State, Clear cutting
will be discouraged, and the ad-
vantage of selective cutting and
sustained forest productivity will
be demonstrated. Protection of
woodlands from fire and grazing
will be stressed"
Farmers can now obtain the in
formation and assistance necessary
for developing and protecting their
woodlands from the county agent.
Good timber management togeth-
er with proper methods of crop
ping and rotations, helps to con-
troll water on the land and is a
direct contribution toward winning
the war.

FUTURE OF CAP-The first step
has been taken toward a peace
time Civil Air Patrol. Just formed
is the Civil Air Patrol League, Gre
ated ostensibly to encourage train
ing and air activity for youths Is to
18 years old. But its significance is
perhaps greater than that.
For months aviation circles have
discussed strong postwar organi-
Zation to speak and act exclusively
for private fliers. It's been suggest
ed that the CAP-with 10000 men,
bers, well-organized in every State
is the logical body to carry the
ball. The CAP League, favored by
Gen. H. H. Arnold, could we'll be it.
PLANES OF TOMORROW-The
nation should shortly get a preview
of one of the postwar airliners. It's
the Lockheed Constellation, slated
for a maiden trip from coast to

coast. This huge transport, as well
as the four-motored Douglas DC-4,
was developed by the U. S. domes-
tic airlines in their ceaseless, COM
petitive quest for peace time SUI
premacy.
Abroad, where monopoly was the
rule, and even in our own pre-war
overseas transport, nothing existed
to match either of these planes of
tomorrow. In fact, the U. S. went
to war with only six airplanes de-
signed especially for oceanic flying.
The II U. S. airlines favoring pres
ervation of competition on postwar
routes point out that competition at
home was responsible for the Con-
stellation and DC-4; that lack of
competition in 2rseas flying para
lyzed progress.
JETPLANES OUTLOOK us t
what is the outlook for the much
publicized jet propelled airplane i?
Seemingly not as rosy as originally
painted. First, British air official
In Washington declared the jetplane
had a great commercial future, but
no immediate combat use.
Now, Capt. Ezra Kotcher of the
U. S. Air Forces reveals the ship is
in production "for training purpo-
ses"-an indication that you can't
look for battle stories about the Jet
plane for long, long time.
