Jesse Bokker Writes
Mothers Day Poem

Mrs Bob Baker was very pleased
to receive the following poem writ
ten by her son Jesse, who is with
the Navy somewhere in the South
west Pacific Also included in the
letter was fifty dollar money or
der as Mothers Day present. The
poem follows:
Dear Nom:
l wrote little poem for you last
! night. l don't have too much room
to write, so will first say that l am
enclosing present for you and 60
on with the poem
EVERY DAY IS MOTHERS DAY
As you read this little story
That's the sweetest of them all;
You can rest assured, I'm happy
With the SWEETEST Nom of all.
With my thoughts SO far away,
Every day is Mothers day
Through these jaunts out in the
Tropics
All my troubles disappear
AS | know your prayers are with me
| have not the slightest fear.
And for you at home, | pray,
Every day is Mothers Day.
Tanned, / walk beneath the palm
trees,
Thinking of the pines at home.
Swimming in these distant waters,
Wishing | could only roam
To those hills so far away.
Every day is Mothers Day.
All these things can but remind me-
OF the beauty where we live,
Just because there is no likeness
To the place for which I'd give
All own, to be this day.
Every day is Mothers Day.
Not so long til I'll be with you
And my dreams will all come true;
Dreams of telling you the stories,
Sweetest girl / ever knew,
OF these isles so far away.
Every day is Mothers Day.

Doctors Close
10 Fighting
Forces

The Army's medical men always
march with its fighting men. Some
times they have to resort to native
style transportation to carry their
supplies.
On many fronts, hospital and sur
gerry may be sheltered in big tents,
easily taken down and moved to
keep up with the troops. Operating
tables are often built of logs fresh
heWn from the jungles.
But the surgical equipment and
the medical skill that accompany our
fighting men are the finest and
most up-to-date to be found any
where in the world.
When soldier falls wounded, he
is picked up by medical corpsmen
who give him on-the-spot treatment
if it is needed, tag him to indicate
treatment and medication, and carry
him to the front line dressing sta
ton. Here, according to the nature
OF his wound, he is given further
treatment and prepared for evacu-
alton
Mobile surgical units perform i'm
mediate operations on serious cases.
Skilled nurses are at hand within
sound of the guns.
Evacuation of patients to fully
equipped modern hospitals is ac-
complished as soon as possible, by
jeep, ambulance, hospital plane and
hospital ship. At every step of the
way from injury to recovery, from
tent in Pacific jungle to the hos
pitfalls OF civilization, competent
Army doctors are with our fighting
men, zealously guarding their amaz-
ing, proud record: of all bat
tie casualties treated 97h%
saved"

VICTORY GARDENS

The ratlOned-fOOd outlook tor CI-
villains this year is for short sup
ply of canned fruits and vegetables.
Therefore, the best solution is
PRODUCTTON-from the farmer
right down the line. How big our
supplies are-and consequently how
high or low point values are-de-
ponds on how much farmers, COM
mercial Gamers, Victory Garden
ers and home-canners produce. We
are making room now SO commercial
Gamers will run their plants to
full capacity. It's up to us Victory
Gardeners and home-canners to do
likewise. Our aim is two million
more Victory gardens this year.
The Extension Service of the Mon
tana State College at Bozeman with
E. E. Issac at the Controls is
doing a splendid job in each county
of Montana with the county agent
supervising.
SYNTHETIC TIRES
You still need Certificate to
purchase rubber tires. Montana's al
lotment Of Grade ! Passenger Car
Tires for May 1914 is less than one
half the May 1943 issuance Of all
grades of the same type of tires.
Therefore, the recapping OF tires
while the carcasses are still undam-
aged is a very important part Of the
tire conservation program.
Several million pair of children'S
serviceable shoes priced at $3.50 or
less will be on sale ration-free
throughout the country until May
20. This release from rationing APP
plies only to youngsters shoes in
sizes 49, through IL, misses and
little boys shoes in sizes 121z
through 3, which in general are
worn by youngsters from to 10
years of age. Rationing officials ex-
planned that the top price limitation
SLIGO is primarily intended to free
slow-moving stocks in the lower
price brackets. 1t was pointed out
however, that many dealers do not
have such stocks on hand, and that
this ration-free footwear therefore
will not be found in all stores
SERVICE MEN AND SUGAR
Servicemen and women on fur
Tough will get their sugar rations in
units Of one pound, rather than on
the previous basis Of quarter OF a
pound for every nine meals eaten
at home, the Office Of Price Admin
istration said today. The reason for
the change, OPA said, is primarily
that servicemen are finding it diff
ficult to buy sugar in amounts
smaller than one pound. In addition,
the handling of certificates for quar-
ter pounds of sugar creates needless
banking and bookkeeping problems.
In the future, serviceman on fur
Tough will get one pound of sugar
for each SO meals or less that he
eats at home. Temporary food ra-
tions for persons other than service
men are changed to reduce the
weekly meats and fats allowance
from is to Is points. AS in the case
of the consumer ration, point val
ues have been adjusted to take care
Of this technical change.
