Indians Play East
Airbase Here Friday;
Ready For Tourney
BY Wayne Duncan

| Inc Browning Indians were
unsuccessful in their three nom
conference games last weekend.
They lost by wide margins to
Fairfield. Great Falls East Air
base and Choteau.
This Friday night they taneIe
with the Fart Airpase here. This
will be their final home game of
the season and probably their last
game before the tournament.
Plans for the annual district
hoop tourney which is being held
in Shelby this year are getting
into shape with the drawings be-
ing made there last Saturday. AS
usual it will occupy three days.
beginning February % and con.
tinuing through the "a.
At 2:30 .. m. of the first day
the Indians play Waller for the
tourney opener. At 4:3O o. m.
Cut Bank will play Brady for the
second game. Oilmont plays Con-
rad at 7::30 .. m. and Shelby
plays Sunburst at $50 p. m.
Much speculation is accorded
this years tourney. This is most
ly due to the close competition
which, a d. b cen displayed
throughout the season.
Coach Kipp's braves have been
going through tough maneuvers
the past week and should be in
excellent shape for the tourney.
The Indians have beaten every
team in the district at least once.
They have a record of 10 de-
feats on the home floor this sea-
son.
Shelby and Oilmont, most fa-
vored to meet the final night will
probably meet the second night.
Conrad, however. might deal OIL
mont something like Brady did
last year.
Waller has made a good show
ing all year and will give the In
dams plenty of trouble. Cut Bank
should win. from Brady but re-
member how Brady upset the
Oilmont favorites last year. The
Indians should meet Cut Bank
the second night and that should
be good.
Augustine and Erickson will
be the officials at the tourney.

Red Cross Faces Greatest
Task i'm Fourth War Year

WASHINGTON. D. c. Facing the
greatest task in its history in serving
American fighting men OH advancing
war fronts overseas, their families at
home. their buddies returning to the
United States after discharge, and the
American people in emergencies on the
home front, the American Red Cross
will launch its third War Fund cam.
paign March /.
That the American people will re.
spond with overwhelming generosity
to the appeal for S2O0,OOO,OO0 to carry
on this worldwide program Is already
indicated in the nationwide determine
ton TO meet all its war needs and to
bring the fiye-year struggle to an early
and successful conclusion.
In every invasion during the past
year, Chairman Basil O'Connor of the
American Red Cross said, Red Cross
workers have either gone with the
troops, or have followed within a very
short time. Red Cross field directors
were with General Eisenhowers men
in the great amphibious invasion of
France. and with General MacArthur's
forces when they returned to the Phil
ippines.
Ten thousand men and women wear
the Red Cross uniform overseas, serv-
ing in every theatre of war and with
every command. They work in leave
clubs. clubmobiles, rest houses. hospi.
tails. Red Cross men attached to fight.
ing units are with those outfits even
in actual combat. Red Cross girls dis.
pense snacks at air fields. along truck
ing supply routes, behind front areas
and in liberated cities.
Many. both men and women. arc on
duty at scores OF isolated outposts
throughout the world. and give aid to
wounded men in hospitals and on hos
pital ships, planes and trains Away
from the battle areas. thousands more
serve at military and naval installa-
tions within the United States.

Red Cross service on the home front
has expanded with the ever.increasing
demand upon it. Mr.. O'Connor said. In
addition to collecting more than ten
million pints of blood for plasma since
the beginning of the war. the Red
Cross has met requests of the Army
and Navy for whole blood shipments to
European and Pacific battle areas. Ten
centers Oh the East and West coasts
already participate in the collection OF
Type o whole blood. while others stand
ready to join in that program as mill
tary needs warrant
AT four packaging centers. manned
by volunteer workers, more than 90
100000 food parcels have been turned
out in steady stream for shipment to
prisoners Of war and civilian internees
In Germany and the Far East. Surgical
dressngs-775.O 100000 of them-were
prepared in the past year alone for
front line and hospital use. Production
workers in hundreds OF communities
have continued the never ceasing pro.
gram of making warm garments for
ASS@AsosS SibAlduS Ill WdT-tOTU countries
overseas. and in those countries the
Red Cross has assisted the Army in
caring for refugees and homeless peo.
pie.
Nor has its service to the armed
forces on global scale caused any
relaxation on the part of the Red Cross
to carry out its traditional service to
the American people in time Of disas-
ter. More than 200 domestic disasters
floods. high winds and fires-have
found Red Cross workers on the Job to
relieve stricken families and to aid in
the rebuilding Of communities.
THE need for Red Cross services in
the coming year will be greater than
ever BEFORE" Mr.. O'Connor said. I'm
fulfilling the Red Cross appeal for
s2o0,00O.O00. the American people will
indicate its wholehearted backing of
men in the front lines"

Receives Thanks
For Christmas Deed

r or Christmas Deed
$1,000
In acknowledgment of dona-
lions of decorations for Christ
mas trees in an American hospi-
tai in England, Elsie L. Forcum,
writes the American Legion
Auxiliary Unit of Browning the
following charming letter:
The American Legion Auxiliary,
Browning, Montana.
My Dear Friends:
Mere words are pretty futile
to convey our thanks, and mine
in Particular, to you who helped
all Of US have a Merry Christians.
The things you sent were all
used a n d they certainly were
decorative.
All the wards in this very large
hospital were nicely decorated. l
kept all tho supplies at the recre-
alton hall and the men from the
different wards came down to
get them. We had plenty of
green and red paper of all kinds
which was sent to US from head
quarters. We had tin cans. lots
Of celIophane bags, tin foil from
gum that we had saved for
months. silver and bronze gilt,
scraps of pretty ribbon and fan
cy paper from Christmas boxes
that came to the hospital during
November and December. With
these things and paste and scis-
sors and tin ships the patients
made all sorts of things.
You'd never believe the ingen-
uity of the Yank until you see the
results. Most of The decorations
from Montana. were used on
special trees, the patients doing
rooms. two of them, the nurses
and officers dining room and the
enlisted mems dining room and
day room.
Things were really festive and
gay, and the fellows worked hard
and long an6 enjoyed it so much.
OF course there prizes for the
best decorated wards. We had
boarded cigarettes from our own
ralions and also out December
allotment from h e Red Cross
and gave a package of cigarettes
and hershey bar to each patient
in the winning wards. The dec
orations We're really 90 nice that
the judges had to choose four.
Christmas Eve carolers ia two
groups, Catholic and Protestant
visited all the wards and sang
our old favorltes.
Also on Christmas Eve we took
the Red Cross gifts to the pa
TENTS. That was the most fun
of all. We divided into two
groups. one nurse and five of US
Red Cross workers, had tw o
Santa Clauses with appropriate
costumes and went to each ward
to distribute the gifts.
The m-n cooperated one hun

each W I'd shouting. Merry
Christmas. they all responded
with all sorts Of comments like,

| VI
State Indian Group
COMMITTEE Planned
l~~~~~~~~
| Very recently there was held
in Great Falls a meeting of the
newly organized group of mem.
bers of five different tribes of
Indians of Montana. They adopt.
ed the official name at their or.
ganizational meeting at Blue
Bay on the Flathead Lake The
American Indians of Montana.
There are still two tribes in the
atate not represented. 1t is
hoped they decide to come in
later. In union there is strength,
you know.
My object in writing this ar.
ticle is for the enlightenment of
those not knowing all the de-
tails and things planned n d
discussed ar this Great Falls
meeting.
| am not an official member of
this organization. but was a very
much interested spectator and
listener.
l think the members of the
Blackfeet tribe should have been
made acquainted through t h e
press of the plans made. The
report in your paper last week
was very uninformative.
mad the pleasure of meeting
Steve DeMiers. president Of rhe
organization and the rest of the
men sent to represent the otrer
tribes affiliated.
1t cannot be denied that any
group or race by organizing and
united in their war efforts can
accomplish great deal of good
for themselves.
The great difficulty is getting
the people together and explain.
ing the detectives aimed at.
The platform laid down by this
group is most commendable, the
whole thing being a safe and
sane solution of the many prob
lens confronting our Indians in
the state. Nothing can be &C.
complished overnight, but it is an
eventual possibility. If and
when you can put it before the
people represented in way and
by those they h ave complete
confidence in.
have heard only few opin-
ions expressed by some of the
Blackfeet and it would seem to
me that they are not in favor of
aHliating with this organization.
Complete approval was not
given or even asked for from the
great majority of the Blackfeet
by those holding executive of.
flee. do think an injustice is
done to the BIackfeet tribe when
choice of the executive board Of
ficers is confined to members of
the Tribal Council, only l feel
safe in saying that those sitting
around the council table are
not the only members of the
tribe with the ability to help
shape the future policies of the
BIackfeet Indians.
1t is the aim of any governing
board of any people, Indian or
white, to make plans and laws
that the members know are the
fruit Of their owu wisdom and
sound judgment and not aims
furthered by their own personal
am billions.
Fortunately the constitution
and bylaws of the organization
are elastic. a. the choice of an
executive board as it is now is
only temporary unless the tribe
