Weather1nan's Job

have it running in few days. On one occasion the Major heard about skilled mechanic in an other organization who was inter ested in becoming a weatherman. He promptly flew hundreds of miles to collect this prize and had him working for the weather out fit for weeks before the red tape accomplishing his transfer was cut.
 Living close to the front line units the weathermen slept where they could-in tents when avail able or, as on one occasion the Major recalls we'll, rolled up in raincoats on a cement apron. At other stations the men spent so much time running from their pup tents to their slit trenches to es- cape enemy bombing that the trenches were widened and the tents erected over them-insuring somewhat more restful nights.
 The closets cooperation existed between the weathermen and the flying personnel. It was Major Coles observation that the more experienced the pilots were the more they valued the weather in- formation and the more ready they were to help by reporting on what they had seen in the sky on mis- sions. Gunners, bombardiers, and all crew members helped in de- scribing weather encountered dur ing flight.

is often as useful to the bomber and fighter operations as good weather. Typical of this situation was mission in which one of Major Coles units sent the bomb CTS and escorts through severe cold front timing the flight so that the formation broke out into CAVU weather, 75 miles south of the front, right over the target Surprise was so complete that the target could be demolished at leisure with unimportant inter ference from the enemy.
 As a member of the 31Oth Bonn bardment Group, Major Cole wears the Distinguished Unit Badge. The organization was cited for out standing performance of duty in action against the enemy in the Mediterranean theatre. He also wears the Bronze Star for par ticipation in the Tunisian, Sicilian, and Italian campaigns.
 For relaxation overseas Major Cole enjoyed swimming in the Mediterranean but, staunch fresh-water man, he preferred the cold mountain streams of Corsica. The water in these rivulets was so chilly that the fish would not bite readily and the best fishing was done with grenades.
 While stationed at Bradley, Ma jor Cole and his wife will live in Springfield, his native city. A loyal New Englander, he insists that whatever some people may say about the local weather he has never in all his travels seen any thing he likes better.

 The second half of the program includes two compositions of the modern twentieth century. The first is the "Suite for Strings in E major,' by Arthur Foote, composed in 1907 and played for the first time by the Boston Symphony in 1909. The last number on the pro gram will be Grand Canyon Suite, by Ferdie Grofe. Although this Suite is known all over America for it's Calling Phillip Morris" theme there is much more to it than that. In fact, there are five parts, each highly descriptive of its title. They are: Sunrise, The Painteed Desert, On the Trail, Sunset and Cloudburst.

The best laid plans of mice and men oft go awry! This time it was the plans for the Base Library con- cert of recorded music that went awry. Who are we to compete with election returns? So, for you who preferred hearing the returns last Tuesday evening we are repeating, by popular request, the program planned for that evening for next Tuesdays concert.
 The program will open prompt ly at 1945 with the "Clock Sym phony' by Haydn. This symphony gets it's title from the realistic imi- tation of the "tick-tock" effect in the second movement. Bassoons, second violins, 'cellos and basses, playing pizzicato, initiate the tick ing of a clock against the melody played by the first violins.
 Second on the program is the Siegfried Idyll, by Wagner. Since Wagner's son, Siegfried, was born at the time when Wagner was inn mersed in the opera of the same

7 SPEAKING
 0G  TnE PRIVATE SAYS
Joe PRIVATE SAYS i

Arrnistice Day, 1944, is most fitting time for us to pause and consider the problems which we will have to face i'll making a per- manent peace. How can we assure it for our children ad their chil- dren after them? How can we be sure that once the lights go on again they will stay on!
 Only by thorough understand ing of the problems of peace and constructive thinking along those lines can we hope to attain that goal. With that in mind, we have chosen for review this week, some books which will give you back: ground and stimulus for thought about peace.
 Mortimer Adler, author of "How to Read a Book" has now written an excellent guide for the intelligent comprehension and crit icism of the hundreds of books i which have been (and will bel pub lished about peace and postwar planning. The title is "How to Think About War and Peace." We suggest you read it with an en- phatic pen or pencil in hand. It is not blueprint of the future but tool to stimulate thought about it!
 Three books which, though they fail to solve the problems of the future, serve as studies of past mistakes are: "A Time for Great ness," by Herbert Agar; "The Making of Tomorrow" by De Roussy de Sales; and Problems of Lasting Peace," by Herbert Hoover and Hugh Gibson.
 Because of it's sound ethical core, the first mentioned deserves earn est reading by every American. It offers fresh lines of thought on the concrete political and economic is- sues opened up by the war and analyses the American idea of de- mocracy at the same time pointing out the weaknesses which we as in dividuals permitted to develop in our pre-war days.
 In "The Making of Tomorrow" MT. de Sales admits that he raises several questions without trying to answer them. He has obviously thought much and hard, as we all should, about the uncertain con- tours of the world of tomorrow. Instead of predictions he offers two studies, one of American democ- racy, the other of the Germans and the background of their barbarian revolt.
 Messrs. Hoover and Gibson in "The Problems of Lasting Peace" have made an exhaustive survey of the important peaces in history. Not merely the peace treaties, nor the peace makings, but the nature of the peace that resulted in each case. The second part of the book turns the discussion toward the fu- ture, and whether you agree with them or not, the book is thought provoking.
 Students of world affairs will find Dr. P. E. Corbett's "Post War Worlds" more practical than the books mentioned so far. This VOL ume is a shrewd analysis of the numerous schemes for postwar re- construction; a careful sitting of the best features of each; and a comprehensive plan coordinating these proposals with Dr. Corbett's own ideas. It is one of the few studies on postwar organization to relate the problems of the Far East to those of Europe, America, and the Soviet Union.
 In an explicit and straightfor- ward manner, R. M. MacIver in Towards an Abiding Peace," shows that such a peace is not an idle dream but quite attainable goal. In the making of this peace the United States is cast for pe- culiar and determinant role. The

seeking SPECIAL PRIVILEGES to
exploit both the citizens of Montana
and the natural resources of the state
or to evade their just taxes on their
ill-gotten resources already plundered
from the state through corruption. He
opposed the silicosis law that would
make silicosis compensate disease
under the state compensation law, and
the collar-to-collar law, as well as all
other compensation laws and progress
sive bills that would make for greater
freedom and real democracy.
Instead of. attacking labor leaders
who have secured a measure of indus
trial democracy and some representa-
ton in political life for the workers
of America, Mr.. Toomey should have
given the insurance agents conven-
ton lecture on their shady practices
of depriving- depriving is a mild
word for robbery = widows and or
phans of their just claims under the
states compensation laws whereby
the agents negotiate so-called "com-
promised settlements, where the wild
ow sacrifices a good portion of her
just compensation through the glib
tongued persuasion of the insurance
agents. Such legalized racketeering
is disgrace to the state.

"CANDLING"
LIQUOR IS
new PROCESS

With large quantity of Cuban Ii
quor on hand in the state purchased
by the Montana Liquor Control Board
it is reliably reported that it has been
found necessary to "candle" the liquid
to remove such authorizations as spid
ers, caterpillars and other matter not
potable. 1t is understood that this
liquor will shortly be placed on sale
in the state liquor stores at reduced
prices, despite the report that it was
purchased at price of S. per case
over the market price at the time of
purchase.
Aside from this potential supply of
liquor, an increase in whiskey to be-
come available to assuage Montana
thirsts is promised by an agreement
arrived at this week between the Mon
tana Liquor Control Board and the
owners of 25,800 cases of American
Distilling Company whiskey, whereby
the owners are permitted to bring
the liquor into the state on condition
that 43 per cent of the stock is to
go to the state liquor stores for sale
to the public direct.
1t is to be hoped that the Liquor
Control Board will find out before
hand if this liquor also needs to be
"candled".

Recently an article appeared in tn

asked how he was sure that they
would vote according to his instruc-
tions, he patterned his reply after
Deweys answers to direct questions
of interest. He said only that he
knew how to do it, thereby leaving
the interference that he was able to
nullify provisions for secret ballot
He urged all ranchers to get their
hired hands registered, and, of course
get them to vote right, or more plain
| ly, the Republican ticket Presum-
ably he later divulged his methods
privately to those interested and per-
haps told them privately how to chisel
free water from a municipality, for
which he is said to be noted.
Attorney e. G. Toomey of Helena
was another featured speaker at this
conclave with Billy Rae of Havre,
Governor Ford's close friend and AL
Kilkinson, ACM company chief lobby
list in the audience as the corporation
trucking claque leaders, and presum-
ably directors of operations. Mr..
Toomey is reported to have repeated
the same falsehoods which he uttered
in previous speech.
Organize
With the proper atmosphere created
by oratorical falsehoods, recreant rem
egade from labor's ranks, now state
manager of the anti-labor outfit spon-
soring the gathering took charge of
proceedings and outlined plan of or
ganization, which was adopted, OF
course.
The plan as adopted contemplates
the division of the state into twelve
districts with a political organization
in each district Presumably the
leaders of these II district organiza-
lions will be schooled in the form OF
plain and fancy lying which appears
to be the fittingly tenuous premise
on which the program of fighting with
the chimerical Montana G. I. o. Pol
itical Action Committee which the
Associated Industries and some of the
present leaders of the Republican
party have evolved out of thin Mon
Lana air.
Since the Montana Associated In
iuSll dit HltItly d
branch of the National Industrial
Council perhaps the state organiza-
ion is merely acting on the orders
If its national heads. The Montana
people might we'll question what right
his National Industrial Council in
New York and Washington, has to
lirect or even permit its subordinate
o undertake a campaign of lies to
sndeavor to fool the people of Mon
ana. And the Montana people might
ilso wonder what part the Republican
party nationally and in the state plays
n this shadowy game. Certainly it
reflects no credit upon the party. And
we don't believe the Montana people
will be fooled.
1t is interesting to note that no
word of publicity about this meeting
was published in the Helena corpora
ion owned daily paper. This is an
other example of the manner in which
1 newspaper of this type is oper-
ited
