Yes, faith is the life blood of
nation and its people. 1t keeps the
wheels turning, speeds distribution of
services and goods, spells progress for
science and industry, promotes health
and happiness for human beings. Faith
whether visible in the eyes of child
or hidden in the heart of an adult
is wonderful thing.
Thank God for this faith in our fell
low man, Faith in our nation, Bath in
the dawning of brighter tomorrow!

and other things

The faith that shines in the eyes
of child is a wonderful thing. 1t
touches our heartstrings with an ap-
peal that rises above race or color or
creed.
We grown-ups in our everyday
life also manifest a deep inner faith
we rarely think about or talk
about. Like the faith we have in our
Government when we exchange our
dollars for War Bonds :. . Faith in our
banks and all of our American insti-
tutions -. Faith in the counsel of our
doctor, our lawyer or our religious
leaders f.. Faith, too, in the care of
the bus driver who brings us to work.

FACTS ON YOUR
SOCIAL SECURITY

Workers 65 or over may receive
monthly social security retirement bene-
fits if they are insured even though
their unemployment is due to a labor
dispute The federal law as it applies
to the old age and survivors insurance
program places no restrictions on quail
flied aged workers other than earnings
in excess Of $1499 per month from oc-
cupations covered by the law
According to Patrick J. Shafer, man
ager Of the Butte field office of the
board, any worker who is fully insured,
is 65 years Of age or older, and has
filed an application for benefits, may
receive a payment beginning with the
month he files and any month following
in which he does not earn over $l499
in wages from work covered under the
law.
Workers who are 65 or over and are
idle because of work stoppages may
want to claim their benefits, especially
it they are to be without earnings for
several months. It is also pointed out
that wives, of workers who qualify, can
receive their benefits if they are 65 years
Of age or over.
Inquiries should be directed to the
nearest field office of the board, located
in Butte, Helena, Billings, Great Falls,
Missoula and Havre. Persons who can
not visit an office personally should
write without delay.

standing timber, large number of
houses, $4,000 feet of lumber and mine
equipment and supplies. He was said
to have an option on the milling plant
to which ore was delivered formerly by
aerial tramway and more recently by
truck.
Long active in western mining and
industrial projects, Wilson in 1886
opened the Trinity river in Texas to
navigation, an undertaking followed
later by a government project involving
many millions in cost
Sale of the Walker mine properties
was enforced to satisfy Indebtedness
to Anaconda Copper Mining Co, which
has long owned around 5lao of the
Walker Co. stock.
In 1910, the last year of operation,
the Walker mine employed an average
OF $40 men and produced 5,262 tons of
copper, 237,89l ounces of silver and
l4il7O ounces Of gold, but operating
costs were notoriously high and liabil-
titles were listed at S92l, ,465 at the close
of that year.
The mine is known to contain large
volume Of developed ore and it is said
there are possibilities that it may be
reopened by other Mining

ANACONDA PLAYS
MISSOULA FRIDAY

Anaconda and Butte battle separate
gridiron enemies this weekend to gain
a grip on second-place position, as Mon
tana's Big Six interscholastic football
season nears it send-Missoula a cinch
to walk off with its third successive
championship.
The Copperheads go to Missoula Fri
day. They could gain undisputed hold
on the runner-up position by upscttng
the defending champs, but that seems
unlikely
If Butte dumps the visiting Great
Falls aggregation in its last conference
tilt Friday, the Puppies will have three
wins, one defeat, one tie. That would
put them one up on Anaconda.
Anaconda could tie the Bulldogs, how
ever, by defeating Billings Nov. 10-if
that game is staged. Billings played
only one conference game before drop
ping out of competition because of the
recent infantile paralysis outbreak there

BEHOLD THE
HUNTER

There is a legend going around about
an extraordinary expedition into the
wilds Of the Madison by men who have
made their mark in this dangerous and
exciting pastime. Persons giving the
names Of Doran, Cox, Crowley and
Erickson, all from Butte, and all promi
nent, got up early in the morning a
week ago Sunday and sailed forth. Ar
irving at their destination in the Madi-
son river, they saw what they thought
were prehistoric aquatic monsters swim
ming down the river.
The -four horsemen" Immediately
made elaborate plans for defense After
these were completed in true army
fashion, the largest one of the group
whispered hoarsely, "Wait until you see
the whites Of their eyes" A few mo-
ments elapsed, then order was given
Ready Aim, Fire. The sound of the
cannonading reverberated over the hills
and the mountains When the smoke
had cleared away and the din had sub
sided, nine decoy ducks lay dead-a
pathetic sight Nothing daunted the
intrepid nimrods pressed on, and when
last heard from had penetrated the vast
forests of Lebanon
BEHOLD THE HUNTER
He riseth up early in the morning
And disturbeth the whole household,
Mighty are his preparations.
He goeth forth full Of hope, and

Der of discharges have filed application

some NEEDSOF
OUR STATE

We are entering upon a new era, the
postwar or reconversion and recon
struction era, and it is befitting that we
take an inventory Of certain needs to
meet the situation.
|. One of the most glaring needs is
for a free and independent press, which
gives US the news without adulteration
and without propaganda voicing only
the owners point of view. All A. c.
M. papers in Butte, Helena, Anaconda
and Missoula were tied up by a strike
Of the Typographical union because the
union asked a modest 10 per cent wage
increase to meet the 80 or 40 per cent
raise in the cost of living. The company
would not consider this, so, during Oc-
tobe these cities were without daily
paper.
3 Freedom of our educational insti-
tutions from domination by the cor
porate interests. This has been illus
trated in our state institutions and
also in the fragrant Violet Eastman
case in Helena.
3. A fine system of highways and the
repair or reconstruction of those neg
lected during the war The federal gov
ernment furnishes SO per cent of the
money for such construction and Gov
ernor Ford has been clamoring for it
| 1t is difficult to reconcile Governor
Fords antipathy to state socialism witt
his appealing requests for government
aid.
A good system of feeder roads Sc
that the farmers can bring produce t.
market in all kinds of weather.
t S. New development of industries FIRE,
from monopolistic competition with tn,
one-company industries and with tn,
same power rates to all industries con
cerned.
Q. Development of our agriculture
and mineral resources with free access
to our rivers and streams, to which GER
tain corporations are claiming the ex
elusive right This was evidenced b,
the claim of the Montana Power com
pany to all the water of the Missouri
river and their forbidding some Broad
, water farmers from using any to irri
gate a relatively small acreage. Re
, Gently this same company has notifie,
, the farmers Of the Helena bench that
after permitting them the use of tn
water of the Missouri river for 80 years
they are now to be denied this privilege
e These waters belong to all the people 0
S the state and not to any corporation.
8. Extension of rural electrificatio
so all rural families can be benefite
A by it and the housewives relieved o
G bacS-breaking drudgery. A good star
i has already been made by the fedora
t government.
9. Cheaper electric power and ga
rates both for industries and domesti
use This is a duty which our Publ
Service commission has already neglect
ed too long, in view Of the findings c
/ the Federal Power commission that hal
of the stock of the Montana Powe
company is water Our Public Servic
commission should act at once to reduc
power rates accordingly.
TO- Insurance rates should be dras
tically reduced.

BUTTE GREAT FALLS

The game between Butte and Great

will mean lot to both teams, but it
may mean to Butte whether it shall
have a chance to play Missoula for
championship game or not. If Butte
beats Great Falls it keeps her in the
running. Interest is high and a large
crowd is expected. The Butte High

Beautify Cemeteries

AS D. c. Russell pointed out in the March issue of
Good Housekeeping Magazine, memorial trees might
well be planted instead of headstones in the nations
cemeteries from coast to coast. He stated:
There is old Latin line that runs He plants
trees to benefit another generation. The planter Of
trees may have little hope to benefit from them person
ally, but the people who come after him rest in
their shade.
Even after dust has returned to dust. there is
some happiness in the thought that ii might be
tributing to life in finite and infinite ways
Memorial trees may some day make cemeteries
really beautiful"
AS slum clearance panacea and means of beaut
flying bighted neghborhoods, as suggested by McNut
the program for living memorials is superative.
The Herald-Americans William Tell has pointed out
how decayng buildings and the dry rot of civic apathy
have crept into many areas throughout Chicago
Prevalence of crime and juvenile delinquency have
kept pace in such districts with the deterioration of resi-
dence structures and population increases without added
play and recreation facilities
Memorial Fairgrounds bathhouses, Libraries, recrea
ton centers, baseball diamonds swimming pools and
health clinics would provide powerful antdotes to den
quency and crime in such districts

Enrich Human-Lif

Said Judge Frank H. Bicek of juvenile court:
From many years of dealing with American youth
feel the boys who died fighting for liberty,
they able to speak would propose useful memorials to
enrich human life instead of useless monuments.
what could be fitting to the memory of
valiant dead than projects to give their children and
their chldren's children, more abundant future?"
Grantland Rice veteran athletic friend of youth and
sports authority writes:
THE brave and women, all physically fit who

It is not to be supposed that San

That is why thousands of young
Americans are entering adult life
under the handicap of insufficient
and inadequate knowledge of the
basic things they need most.
That is why the inspiring and

Inspiration for Future

So explained Kenneth l.. (''Tug') Wilson, Midwest
regional chairman of the American Commission for XIV
ing War Memorials and athletic coach of Northwestern
University. He said:
Every community takes rightfuI pride in its heroes
and would like to create appropriate symbol Of graft
tude for their sacrifice and devotion to duty.
Living memorials - useful community projects
will help keep alive memories of heroic deeds far
flung battle fronts and inspire rising generations in
peaceful future.
We believe memorials created 10 enrich life and
maintain the traditions of ysca fitness founded by
ancestors will indeed be living memorials.
Wilson added a survey showed servicemen
to be overwhelmingly in favor of useful memorials in
stead of decorative but useless statues arches fountains
mounted cannon and concrete shafts
When they get out Of the army he explained, they
will need recreation facilities for their leisure time and
to carry with physical fitness programs TO which they
became accustomed in the services.
