OS-o~s
 Believing that newspaper man also needs to get away from Washington occasionally, this col umnist has spent some time re- gently finding out what the peo- pie of the nation are doing, talk ing and thinking about. Today and in subsequert columns, some of the results will be published.
 Let's start with Chicago.
 A few days after Pearl Harbor, downcast ex-members of the America First Committee held meeting which was attended by Charles A. Lindbergh. When fin- ally persuaded to speak, Lind bergh counsened his friends to keep in the background for the time being, saying that there would be ample time for renewed activity and criticism by America F1rSterS later in the war when the casualty lists began to come in.
 The other day, an incident oc- cuued in Chicago indicating that the old isolationist crowd has become bfa1enly active again.
 The United Nations Association congress was being held in the Stevens Hotel to outline a plan for permanent peace. The meet ing was addressed by such speak CTS as Chester Powell, brilliant for- -ner editor of the San Fran cisco Chronicle, William Allan Nelson, ex-president of Smith college, Rabbi Louis Mann of Chi- cago, and Clark Eichelberger, head of the United Nations Associa- ton.
 As the meeting was thrown open for discussion from the floor, various hecklers with thick German accents began to bob up and about.
 ''What's wrong with Ger many?" one of them exploded.
 we want negotiated peace!" shouted another.
 What are we fighting for?" yelled another.
 Interruptions of this kind be. came so bad that the meeting got out of hand and was in dan- ger of breaking up. Finally, Eichelberger saw a Catholic sis- ter in the audience and called her to the rostrum. She spoke eloquently of United Nations unity and the worlds hope for perman- ent peace-but only after the Allies had achieved unconditional surrender. Under her influence, the boisterous hecklers finally stamped out of the room.
 It had been carefully planted attempt to break up meeting aimed at United Nations post war cooperation.
 PEOPLES PLAN FOR PEACE
 Most important undercurrent of thought emerging from the American people today Is how they can prevent their children rom going to war again in the future.
 Their thinking Is probably way ahead of Washington. While Secretary Hull last summer was telling Senator Tom Oonna1ly he did not want a world-cooperation resolution passed, the American public, with the exception of some isolationist parts of the Middle West, was far ahead of him.
 For instance, in MOrgantOwn, West Virginia, . coal operator named N. M. Davis, has written a book outlining his ideas on fu- ture world machinery to keep . the peace. Davis, who spent many years of his life following the rear end of . mule through a mine shaft, has made world peace his hobby. Though he never had the benefit of 8 cole

AS :, A MATTER OF FACT

A tree may grow in Brooklyn but "So Little Time" headed the list of ten best novels chosen by the critics at the Month Clubs poll of outstanding books of 1943. The Brooklyn tree got lots of votes, and so did Indigo" and "None But the Lone ly Heart" However, all this does not mean any one of the three is the best book. The merits of book are not always commensurate with its popularity.

Garry Your Own
Housewives Advised

HELENA, April Housewives
and other shoppers are going to be
asked to furnish their own paper
bags or supply some other means
to carry their purchases during the
next few months, according to WPB
Helena.
The amount of wrapping paper
and bags available and the paper
bags to be manufactured during the
second quarter of 1914 for retail and
wholesale use will be less than
half Of the quantity produced for
such use in the same period OF
1914
The shortage is due to three
causes. There IS the tremendous de-
mand for paper and paperboard
products for war purposes, made
quate manpoWer for cutting pulp
wood and slim inventories of wrap
ping paper and bags now at low
record
Salvage Of waste paper alone will
not solve the present shortage
Shoppers should accept their many
small articles from merchants I'M
wrapped and where several items
are purchased, they be placed in
one bag Merchandise already wrap
ped or boxed should be taken as is
In addition, shoppers are request
ed to carry shopping bags or bas-
kets and reuse paper bags when
ever possible. Cooperation by all
concerned should enable us to get
by once the facts are understood by
everybody

Residing and
Reroofine Permitted

HELENA, Apr( ia reminder
that residing and reroofing of
houses, barns and other buildings
is automatically authorized by WPB
was e-emphasized in an official
statement by Ben H. Chestnut, WPB
Supervising Analyst, Helena, today.
The Interpretation states that if
an existing siding or roof needs re-
pair, the minimum amount of repair
work may be done to put the siding
or roof in a suitable condition with
out authority. However, if siding
can be put in proper condition by
an application of paint. the recon-
ditioning should be done in this
manner.
If. on the other hand, the siding
has so deteriorated that a paint job
will not provide adequate protec-
ton, new siding may be put on
the old building The new siding
need not be of the same material as
the old siding, Mr.. Chestnut said

the crew of an LIST for active duty.
The LIST is especially construct

and equipment to land ready for

craft is as large as destroyer,

Like the Naval Air Force and the

In every landing that has been
