bile slabe, a ljudstva so iskala

uspel prepreciti, da Sc njegove
zrtve zedinijo in ga ustavijo -

mnogih evropskih dezel. Raz-

Poglobite Sc v spomin enega

mega dogajalo nekoliko tisoc
mill cd vas, v Nemciji. Tam
je hodil domov nekdo drugi, to-
da MENU nj uspelo priti domov,
ker so ga ma potu ustavili suro-
vi moski, XII so nosili svastike
ma svojih rokavih. Moral je ma
kolena in Sc plaziti po tleh ko

in sc mu smejali ma svoj blazni
in neotesani nacin. V nekem
drugem mestu v Nemciji je
znamenit znanstvenik prisel v
svoj laboratorij in nasel svoje
retorte razbite in svojo znan-

taboriscih smrti. Nacisti mis- o
nikdar imeli namena, da Sc ONE

in podmornice, letala, in raket-
ne granate, da jih vrzejo v boz
proti ljudstvom vsega sveta.
Ko smo takrat pred dvanajstl-
mi lett sedeli donna in citali

ljenja in zivljenja nasih dragih

postal zmaj simbol satana in
necistih peklenskih moci, zato
Sc peklenski poglavar zelo po-
gosto predstavlja v podobi zma-
ia ali kace.
Razen predpotopnih zmajev

The long awaited announcement of VIE Day was highlighted with praise of the glorious Allied armies and their leaders who fought long and we'll to suppress the Nazi hOrdes who nearly succeeded in destroying European civilization Prayers were offered all over the world for the valiant of all nations who gave their lives that others might live free men, Yet amid the ubilance and the tumult little thought given to the millions of workers who shared in Tuesdays victory. In Waterbury there were over 900 indus trial workers who provided the Allied armies with vital material of war. Everyone knew from the beginning the vctOrs For three and half years this hOmefront army stuck seadfasy to their benches, their milling machines and their lathes. Their hours of labor were long-many times too long for human endurance Fifty sixty seventy hours a week. Oftentimes rush orders demanded their efforts for an endless month without day off. And the constant cry was More We need mOre!" They came from all walks of life to in Waterbury factories Working in oil and grease were merchants, chefs salesmen decorators street. cleaners, farmers, artists and truckdrvers. Women, too, learned to work at whrlng machines from dawn to dusk Recruits also included those who had pre- vously been considered unfit for factory work due to physical ncapacity Happy to be of service for once they headed the list of efficient willing and hardwOrk ing employees. And last but not least there the young mothers with husbands at the fighting fronts who brought their sleepy eyed children to day nurser ies long before the dawn had broken. Such the people who contributed to Tuesdays victory. And their triumph was a hardfOught one too!

sity, but with deeper meaning for all that.
He will find it in the messages he receives
from home, for we are told that the Easter
cards that have gone overseas by the mil
lions carry the prayers of his family for
safe guidance and peace. Can a man look
at such a remembrance, with its design
perhaps reminding him of the peaceful,
sunny walk with his family to church on
Easter morning, without some of hat sun
niness returning? The message on the
card need be no more than "He Is Risen"
for it comes from the hearts of those to
whom Resurrection" is no longer mere
" an awesome word, but a living
for which their sons are fighting.
Yes, we think there will be a sunrise
for a soldier on Easter morning; a SUI
rise presaging a greater dawn when Eas-
ter itself will be a day of peace and the
young men who restored it are home with
their families once more.

A SUNRISE FOR A SOLDIER

In that very part of Europe where
American soldiers are now embattled,
there remains the legend of the peasant
folk who, many years ago on the night be-
fore Easter, used to proceed in slow and
humble cavalcade to the topmost peak of
nearby hills. Here they would wait for
the sunrise when, in their simple and in
nocent belief, the sun would dance in the
sky with the joy of Easter.
This Easter morning the sun will not
dance over Europe. The day, profaned
for twelve years by those who banished
the Easter spirit in favor of their own
'kultur,' may not afford even an hours
peace from the guns. Dawn itself may be
Swallowed by black clouds of smoke and
exploded ground.
But the soldier will have his sunrise. He
will find it for himself in the front line

PROGRAM OF THE
INDEPENDENT TICKET
Platform


We, the electors of School District
No. l, in public meeting assembled, plac-
ing in nomination the candidates Of the
Independent party, submit to the citizens
of the district the following statement
of our principles:
1. The continued practice of strict
economy in all branches Of school &C
tivity.
2. We advocate an increase of the
school term. To carry out activity pro-
gram in addition to fulfilling require
ments of the state course of study.
8. Continued use of the old Butte
high gym and pool for elementary school
children.
4. Since we believe in progressive
education, we advocate that the curric-
ula of our schools should be more close
ly correlated with the existing economic
conditions. Since over two-thirds of our
high school graduates do not continue in
school they should be prepared for in
dustry. We pledge our adherence to an
administration which places more en-
phasis on vocational guidance and train
ing.
S. We favor the continuation and ex-
tension of the Smith-Hughes and
George-Deen classes in trade and craft
extension.
6. We maintain that the qualifica-
tons for any teaching and %administra-
Montana labor news., 1945-03-29

tive position in our schools should be
based on education, previous successful
experience, and ability necessary to per
form the duties demanded Of the posi-
ton.
Z. We will employ union labor in all
departments of School District NO. l..
8. No supplies of any character or
property shall be purchased by the dis
trict from members of the board or from
any corporation in which any member
of the board is interested.
8. We favor the purchase of all school
supplies in Butte, insofar as possible, and
all printing and engraving to be done in
Butte by union labor.
10. We believe that the school build
ings should be open for the use OF the
community as social, recreational and
educational centers, when such use will
not interfere with the school curse. We
believe, too, that the schools should al
wayR be available for the exercise of the
American constitutional rights of free
speech and p~eaceable assembly.
II. We favor the continuance Of a
teacher to especially instruct crippled
children.
u. We approve a more liberal use Of
Butte high school gymnasium and ath-
letic facilities to any responsible group
