POULTRY TO
Be SHIPPED
NEXT MONTH
Valley-D Daniels Annual Turkey
Loading Dates Are
Announced

Turkeys will be packed and ship
ped from Hinsdale, Dec. II, and
Scobey, Dec. IS, by the Valley-Dan-
iels Poultry Shipping association. ii
was announced this week by c. j.
Maalerud of Tampico, association
manager.
Turkeys again will be graded this
year by Roy Grove of Havre. The
farmer-owned cooperative last year
shipped a carload to an eastern
market.
Mr.. Maalerud cautioned all grow
ers about certain elementary points
to be followed in order that turkeys
will not be graded down, thus bring
ing a loss to the owner.
He stressed that all birds should
be clean. Feet and head should be
washed if turkeys are to grade No.
l.. They should be cleanly picked,
including all pinfeathers, with wing
tips taken off.
Careful handling pays in prevent
ing tears and bruises. Tears should
be sown. Often, a tear will prevent
a bird from being graded No. l, he
said.
Another point is proper cooling.
The association cannot accept warm
birds. They should be cooled over
night in a temperature range of "a
TO SO degrees before being brought
in for shipping.

"War Bonds and
The War Chest

1T is too bad" said a friend to
n of the directors of the Wa
Chest, that the War Chest quota
was not reached before the bond
drive began. Maybe we can't make
the quota now"
Well" replied the director, Il
can't see that. When you buy a war
bond you are not giving anything to
anybody. You are really on the re-
ceiving end. for the government
pays you interest on your pocket
money-you stand to get more than
you lay out. On the other hand.
when you contribute to the War
Chest, you are making an outright
gift which brings pleasure and en-
tertainment to our sorely tried boys
and food and comfort to our dew
astated allies. Both acts help the
war effort and bring satisfaction
without conflicting"
Help the War Chest and buy a
bond. Let 'em have both barrels
and bring down two quotas at once"

rHS DdpISI HuI
Our Heavenly Father, we Thy children of earth humbly
beseech Thee to accept our prayers of gratitude to Thee this
Thanksgiving season for Thy gracious favors upon our land; for
Thy mercies and blessings upon the labours of our hands and
hearts in field and factory, in home and hospice, in the busy
marts of trade and the quiet quests of Thy companionship and
holy Presence; for Thy self-revelation in Thy redemptive pro-
gram for the human race through simple faith and unfaltering
concern and care. for our temporal needs and w~ellbeing.
Grant that in our security of plenty we shall not forget nor
neglect the cry of need on the pinched lips of hungry children
and destitute mothers and fathers, but that we will gladly share
our satisfying plentitude with their hurting want. May we
minister the healing blessings of radiant cheer and comforting
solicitude with those who sorrow and those who toll in the midst
of moral defeat and spiritual loss. Help us, we beseech Thee, to
remember our dependence upon Thee for grace and strength
that we may walk humbly before Thee.
Save, we pray Thee, our land and governing servants from
greed and Wanting ~selfishness. Bless our soldier men and
women with purity of soul and strength of body and keep our
own compassion tender with Christs love; endow us all with
noble heroism in the defense of the principles of truth and of
the sanctity of hearth and home. Hasten the day, o God of hosts,
when the horrors of war shall cease-when peace and tranquility
shall be enthroned in human breasts to the uttermost ends of
our war-wounded world; turn the thoughts of mankind to the
enobling dedication of itself to the kindly pursuits of honest
industry and virtuous service to God and man. Remove far from
us ignoble ambitions and leanness of soul. Purge our lives from
gross desires and mean achievements. Forgive us our unworthy
past; teach us to usefully employ the present; and fire us with a
holy zeal to attain to Christ-ikeness for the future-we CRATE
fully and humbly pray in Thy Sons our Saviour Chrsts ador-
able name. Amen.

OF Voice

Editors Note: The news story
below was written by Lieut..
Ebert H.. Baker, assistant pub
lie relations officer at Baxter
general hospital, Spokane.
Private Lee T. Ellefson of Tam
pico, Mont, who is convaleScing al
Baxter general hospital from
wounds received on the Normandy
beachhead, has literally given his
voice to the cause of world freedom.
On June IL, only six days after
the invasion of the European
shores, Private Ellefson volunteered
for duty with a litter bearer detail.
Their task was to search the area
Immediately to the front for casual
ties that might not have been given
proper medical care. The work of
litter bearers, at best, is a gruelling
task and under combat conditions.
n OF the most perilous. While he
was trying to find undiscovered
wounded, he was hit through the
chest and throat.
Private Ellefson was Immediately
treated and then evacuated to Eng
land by plane to a larger hospital
where he could be given the treat
ment commensurate with his
wounds. After several months con-
valescence in England, he was
evacuated to the United States and
Is now under treatment at Baxter
hospital.
Private Ellefson's contribution to
this war is his voice. AS a result of
his wound, he has lost almost total
use OF his voice and is able to speak
only in a forced whisper.
Characteristic of the men who
have ungrudgingly given so much of
themselves for their country. Private
.lleison is not discouraged about
the physical handicap that is his
share in this war. He spoke with
about seeing his wife,
Ihelma Ellefson of Tampico. Like
all who return from duty overseas.
he is keen to see his wife and renew
Did acquaintance.
