II. Advent.
Doubtless the reception committee
had done its work very creditably
Doubtless the host gathered before
the Gates was an impressive sight
Doubtless my mood of amused incred-
ulity at all this display reflected lin
gering traces of my own earthly i'm
perfection rather than any absurdity
in the display itself. But as l walked
out with the freshman contingent to
help form the walls of the vast avenue
along which the arriving saint would
advance, | met the glance of the Re-
corder 1t was a look compounded of
pity and satire-an ironic, almost
cardonic look.
The saints were out in force Thous
ands must have been massed near the
gates other thousands stood in the
two lines, facing each other, that ex-
tended far out over the pleasant plain.
The angels, of whom there were per-
haps dozen for every hundred saints,
had grouped themselves near the Re-
corder's booth. Many Of the host car
ried trumpets, harps, cymbals, and
what not; others had provided them
selves with flags to wave and confetti
to throw. Gabriel equipped with pen
Gil and notebook, was already taking
rapid notes. several members of his
staff were photographing the throng.
The waiting began to grow weari-
some long before the gathering near
i,1+; 4haf
Snobson had actually arrived. Then
wandering breeze brought low
sound as of muted cheering from far
down the avenue. Immediately all
eyes turned in that direction, and con-
versation ceased.
For several minutes the lower end
of lifelong lane remained unoccupied;
then a blur moved slowly into view
and little by little resolved itself into
three pedestrian figures. Accompany
ing the sound of distant cheering came
other sounds, indistinct at first but
gradually emerging Gathering and |
ringing and tootling sounds.
I do not know why or how the I'M
mistakable sense of something amiss
rose and spread through the throng.
But rise and spread it did. Saints
along the line glanced uneasily at
one another. One or two freshmen in
my own group became so nervous that
they tried to slip away. Even the
angels showed signs of surprise and
doubt; Gabriel, who had helped to
plan the whole thing, stood with pen
Gil poised and ready, but his cheeks
had grown slightly pink.
From the far end Of the avenue a
new sound was rising, sound which
seemed somehow out of harmony with
the cheers and the clatter of applause.
The three central figures were ap-
steadily. AS their outlines
became clearer everyone saw that the
newcomer was in the middle, guided
and guarded by two angels. This, of {
course, was the usual and expected
thing. But something in the air of
the two angels was not usual or ex- J
pected. They seemed reluctant; they |
hung back; as they came G
nearer, embarrassment became appar- q
ent in every line of their forms. q
The curious sound from the back G
ground was swelling, edging into the 7
drowning out the cheering 1

Information Vital to Every Taxpay
err and Citizen of Montana by j. R
Culver, chairman, Montana Education
Association committee on tax educa
ton and school finance, is an interest
ing pamphlet we'll worth reading. Mr..
Culver deals with the burden coun-
ties carry in taking care of the public
schools and thinks that the state
should carry more Of the load. "Why
do Montana schools need more state
support" he asks, and states that
Montana is one of the 16 states that
contributed less than 20 percent of
the cost of maintaining schools, while
He intimates that there are only eight
other states that give less state sup
port to the schools than Montana. Mr..
Culver claims that more than eighty
per cent of school costs are obtained
from property tax.
House Bill No 65, which is spon-
sored by the Montana Education Asso-
citation will place a greater tax on
counties to take care of the schools
by changing the burden of taking care
of the states contribution to the
Teachers Retirement Fund to the
school districts and counties and like
wise add a greater tax on property
as the state of Montana levies no tax
on property for the maintenance of
the state.
Why does the Montana Education
Association bewail the tax burden on
and counties for school main
tenance and support bill which is

Here is their real objection. 1.-THE
objection is to the use of these gov
eminent funds in such way that all

Element of that issue will decide

economy after the war, or whether it

the expense of misery and millions
of jobless people"
That is why co-operatives believe
that every person in this country has
a stake in the fight now going on in
Washington over man by the name
of Henry A. Wallace. That is why
such co-operatives as GTA, and Farm
ers Union Central Exchange, and Mid
land, and Cow champion the cause
of free enterprise. These co-opera-
tives owned by the people themselves
believe that the sources Of real wealth
should be used to achieve higher
standard of living for all of us.
Today's fight against Wallace is not
q fight against a man. ut is a fight
against full employment, against an
expanding economy. 1t is a fight to
maintain monopoly as usual after the
war, fight to return to a system of
scarcity economics in which a few can
profit (and only temporarily at best) |
while a miserable one-third continue
to be ill-fed il-clothed and ill-housed."

ODD FELLOWS LAUNCH
RACIAL TOLERANCE DRIVE

CHICAGO, Dec. 5 (ANP)-The
nations white Odd Fellows, rep
resenting approximately 100000
members, launched their drive to
combat racial hatred here during a
meeting in the west side hall of
Golden Harmony Lodge No. GIT.
DR.. Preston Bradley, principal
speaker, encouraged the group but
warned them about local organized
hate groups.
"There are more organized
groups of hatred here right now
than you can ever imagine" said
DR.. Bradley, pastor of the Peo-
pies church of Chicago and popular
radio clergyman. "And these or
ganizations are dedicated to in
creasing and fementing racial hat
red"
The mysterious appearance OF
small white cards on buses recently
is the latest evidence of organized
hate campaigns, he said. They
read: Boycott Jews and Catholics. .
"This cannot be cured by law"
he pointed out. "You cannot force
people to tolerance. The way that is
best is the way chosen by this
group, based on the philosophy of
the story of a good samaritan"
The nations 100000 Odd Eel
lows are expected to push the ra-
cial tolerance movement all over
the country.

MONTGOMERY, Dec. 5 (ANP)
White and Negro railroad pass
engers will be separated in Ala
bama in the future either by drawn
curtains or by separate coaches.
The Alabama Public Service
commission issued that order here
Saturday, but said that it does not
apply to members of the armed
forces in uniform and travelling on
official business. The APSC's or
der, resulting from an alleged
prove from complaints of "non-seg-
regation in Alabama" cited the
states jim crow travelling code,
which require:
1. Separate accommodations
for Negro races either in different
cars or by partitions.
2. Conductors to assign each
passenger to the car or division of
the car designated for respective
races" ~
The last point is not applicable
to Negroes or whites entering this
state upon railroads under con-
tracts for their transportation
made in another state where the
laws to this do not prevail" The
commission said that "such persons
shall not be required to be moved,
but partitions must be in place and
curtains drawn at all times"
On day coaches, there will be
separate cars for white and Negro
passengers or at least one car on
each train with separate compart-
ments divided by permanent" pc

Aid For Veterans Sought
GI BUILDINGS MAY

Assistance for Dayton's housing
shortage may be obtained today in
a proposal outlined in Washington
last night.
The government may turn over
surplus buildings to the States

plus property administrator, was re-
ported by the Associated Press as
considering issuance of such an au-
thorization today.
The order would include barracks,
cantonments, demountable houses
and similar facilities. A large guam
tity of army barracks now are
standing idle in the Dayton area and
at nearby Ohio and Indiana army
reservations.
Terms of the order, effective at

property.
2. Houses to be rented first to
veterans and after that to the gen.
eral public.
3. Demountable houses to be
erected by the States on favorable
federal sites.

All facilities will be left in such condition that the school may be opened at future date, with the museum portion of the school placed on a caretaker basis.
 The school originally opened at Dutch Harbor in June, 1944, and was later moved to Adak. h. structcrs were recruited from all parts of the world to provide the finest training possible for combat operations in the cold, foggy cli- mate of the Aleutians.
 Recognized leaders in these fields, together with men well versed in mountaineering and amphibious op- erations, constituted the faculty of this rough-and-ready school. Train ing in the school fitted it's stu dents primarily as instructors.

Vow Made in
 Wartime Kept

NEW YORK, Dec. IA former member of the RAF walked up to Major Edith Hultgren of the Sal vation Army in New York and pinned a corsage of carnations on the surprised lassie. Although choked with emotion, the young man finally explained what it was all about.
 He said that on Nov. 29, l944, he and seven other RAF men were in a Salvation Army club in south eastern England. They were just being served doughnuts and coffee by a Salvation Army lassie when a buzz bomb hit the club.
 The men leaped and escaped but a bomb fragment killed the girl. The young RAF man, who has since been discharged, said:
 The eight of us took a VOW right then that every year on the anniversary of that date, we'd seek out a Salvation Army lassie and pin a corsage on her. It would be in honor of that girl in Eng land"
 The young RAF man said two of the boys won't keep their VOWS. They didn't return from mission. But the young man said he was sure the other five are keeping it, wherever they are.
 The former RAF man slipped quietly out of the Salvation Army Club - in fact, he cleared out so fast that the club director merely got his last name as Grobben.
