Second Church. Head Comments Churchill
Rev. Dr. WdIker Says Ex-Prime Ministers Leadership of Britoih Will 60 Down in History; Urges Sacrifices to Reap
 Victory Fruits

The Rt. Hon. Winston Churchill has passed into political eclipse but the leadership he gave, the miracles he wrought, the words he uttered An Britain's darkest hour serve to give him immortality on the pages of human history" stated Rev. Dr. John C.. Walker, Second Congrega- ticnal church pastor, last evening as guest preacher at the summer union services at the First church.
 Dr. Walker said in part:
 MT. Churchill is no longer at the helm in Britain but somewhere in one of his speeches some time. since which, like many another of his apt and mighty phrases, is like to live on in the memories of men. He spoke of "the solemn and splen- did duties which are the crown of victory" To celebrate the end of the war with wild rejoicing was the expected reaction of the common public and We have all participated to a greater or lesser degree, I sup- pose. But now is the time to remem- Der "the solemn and splendid duties" which must be made the crown of victory. We shall indeed be worthy of rebuke if we fail to think of this day in terms of humility and responsibility.
 Wrong Supposition
 am not certain but believe that 1t was the Romans who cherished the proverb, "Victor, tighten they helmet strap" Such a proverb is not difficult of interpretation. His tory reminds us the kingdoms, em- pires, civilizations are more often betrayed and defeated from within than overwhelmed from without. Too often victory has led to the delusion that it would last forever, that the victors were assured of all possible security, prosperity and peace by virtue of the military vic- tory and the power and prestiges gained thereby. Too often it has been supposed that the laying down of arms assured peace and pros- perity immediately and inevitably. The ancient procerb suggests, and wisely, that the hour of victory brings its own heavy responsibili- ties and dangers. Vigilence, wisdom, discernment, sacrifice must be made manifest if We are to reap the fruits of victory.
 In other words victory has its own inherent dangers. We need a solemn reminder in such an hour and on such day as this. Dr. Les- lie D. Weatherheod of City Temple, London, whose church lies in rubble ana who proved himself in war as in peace, one of, the greatest of the prophetic voices of our generation said more than a year ago, "We do right to pray that war may speedily end but feel little afraid of the hour of victory. I feel afraid lest there shall go up from man. kind that vast sigh of relief fol- lowed by complacency and the sleep of the sluggard. remember so clearly the end of the last war; Having won the war, we lost the peace. We betrayed the dead. We were revengeftd when we should have been creative, selfish when a new kind of sacrifice was more nec- essary than the giving of life itself. The sky was red and we dreamed it was the dawn, but 1t was sunset

Red Cross Programs .WiH Continue As Is
Judge HeoIey Urges Volunteers Not 10 ReIox Efforts Despite Jops' Surrender; Stresses Future Increase on Vets Claims

Emphasizing that the surrender of Japan will not decrease the &C., tivities of the Red Cross, Judge Pa trick Healey, chairman of the local chapter, yesterday called upon all Red Cross volunteers to continue on the job. Judge Healey said the na- ture of the work may change, but much important work will still have to be done.
 Basil O'Connor, National Red Cross chairman, issued the follow ing statement from Washington:
 Although actual hostilities have ceased, thanks to Providential grace, the American Red Cross fac- es worldwide tasks. We must con- tinue to serve our armed forces overseas for as long as the need exists. Red Cross services to hos pitalized servicemen and veterans must be stepped up to keep pace with demands. Our chapters must be prepared for all emergencies, such as disasters, and must build up and strengthen their peacetime programs"
 This brief outline of national Red Cross policy, Judge Healey assert ed, means no relaxing of the local chapters efforts. In fact, many of the organizations services will gradually expand, he pointed out.
 "In the years which lie ahead, veterans claims upon the govern ment will increase" Judge Healey said.
 "The Red Cltss is one of the several agencies authorized by the government to handle such claims for disqualification, pensions, and other legal benefits. Assistance to

okIn FARM FRONT
" AkbtEy from ~
VAHensszsj h5anas Ansts

In a concerted drive keyed to
National Fire Prevention week,
October 7 to 10, the Montana
Agricultural Extension service
is emphasizing the vital import
ance of fire prevention on the
farms and ranches of the state.
Extension workers point out
that last year the nations TO-
ia fire loss amounted to $50
million dollarS-an alarming
increase of 80 million dollars
over the previous year. Farm
fires alone resulted in deStruct-
ion totaling 80 million dollars,
and $500 members Of farm
families were burned to death.
During fire prevention week
county extension agents through
out the state are streSsing the
need of fire prevention and eX-
planning steps farmers and
rancherS can take to prevent
fires that destroy valuable crops
and food, farm buildings. farm
homes and farm equipment.
Rural people are being urged
during Fire Prevention week to
check up on fire hazards about
their places and to have ready
for instant use equipment need
ed in fighting fires that might
occur.
Above all, the extension SER
vice again calls attention to Ma
tional Fire Protection associa-
ton studies which show that
80 per cent of all fires are
caused by failure to observe
reasonable precautions.
Selling the best COWS in a
dairy herd is herd improvement
in reverse, yet that is just what
some dairymen do in the mis-
taken notion that it is best to
get the higher price paid for
good animals, says j. o. Tret-
sven. extension dairy specialist
at Montana State college.
For many years, Tretsven
said. dairy farmers in western
Montana have had the oppor-
tunity of selling surplus COWS
