Samuel Grafton, of the nations leading newspaper

number of newspapers:

Mr. Left Erickson, President
Montana MVA Association
Dear Sir:
Several weeks ago l wrote to m,
father, Louis S. Mayer of Havre II
get some information on the proposed
MVA BILL of which | had heart
through correspondence with differen
people in Montana.
Just yesterday | received from my
| father two sheets of literature which
explained some of the finer points OF
this project l read through the two
pages with very much interest an(
upon finishing the same, turned to {
number of fellow soldiers and hat
them read it also.
After much discussion, and few
minor arguments, about the bill We
all most heartily agreed upon one
thing-and that was the fact that we
need this bill put through, not by
force, but by helping to show the
people where money can be saved
where irrigation can be developed, anG
not only that but also where the bill
state to be used to the best advantage
We agree also that to put this project
into operation would mean jobs fol
the hundreds of servicemen that are
soon to return to civilian life as good
citizens of both state and country Ii
would bring at least some bright out
look for the future to these particular
men.
l have read in newspapers and heard
on the radio of the many states that
have outlined postwar policies and in
almost every case the. serviceman has
been literally invited to make an effort
to take up some of these many jobs
that are, or will be, available to him.
1t must be a pride to belong to a
state that at least tries to show the
veteran that the people are doing their
utmost to help him gain a new start
in civilian life. 1t will not be easy,
granted the fact, because these return
ing young men have learned to think
for themselves and endure the great
est hardships and dangers possible to
humans. They do not, and will not,
accept anything on platter. That
would be against their new principles,
but they will go out and work for
everything they want-if work is to
be had
Now, here is the question: What
has Montana got in the line of post
war jobs to offer her returning sons?
Has she outlined great bodybuilding,
bodybuilding, and general improve
ment program? | may be all wrong,
and hope | am, when l say that en-
phatically mo-, l have not heard of

sincerely apologize. But if there is
not-there should bel!
We fellows in this outfit think that
Montana is still and will always be
the best state of them ALL We are
proud of her, we fought in this war
for the right to live within her bound

HEARING TODAY
 ON BANKS MOTION
Merchants Trust Co. Seeks Extension of Time on
 Filing Assets :.

Superior Court Judge Edward j. Daly was scheduled to come to Wa terbury today to preside in superior court at 2 o'clock at the hearing of a motion involving the Merchants Trust Co.
 The motion, filed by the state bank commissioner and successor re- ceiver of the bank, asks for an inc definite extension of time for filing a list of assets of the bank and &C., cepting bids TOT purchase.
 Judge Daly, who has been desig~ mated to sit at all hearings involving sale of assets of defunct banks of the state, earlier had set 6 time limit for all of the banks.
 The extension motion arose as the result of litigation brought against one of the state banks, the commits sioner pointing out action on selling should not be taken until 1t can be considered together on all of the banks.
