day, land since getting back into
work harness l feel ! am not
letting my fighting grandsons
down. --
Seems like with the seven of
us serving it'll shorten things
considerably"
Ankney, formerly an employee
of the Wabash Railroad, retired
ten years ago. Prime factor in
his decision to resume working,
he said, was the recent citation
given one Of his grandsons for
bravery in the fighting in Italy.
He added, however, he had
been giving serious thought for
several weeks to a return to a
job.
Ankney is employed as a jan
itor in the Kirsch Curton Rod
Company here, which now is de-
voted to production of noses for
gliderS.
Despite his 80 years, Ankney
has coal black hair and is en-
joying excellent health. Officials
of the company vouch for their
satisfaction with his work.
AS a railroad worker, Ank-
ney labored ten hours daily with
a construction gang.
81 guess that's what toughened
me up so I am able to work along
with the boys today" he said.

Russia To
Raise More
OF Own Food

Russia will produce still more of
her own vitality needed food this
year as result of 10000 tons of
seeds that have been furnished by
the United States for Soviet spring
paintings, according to War Food
Administration. The tonnage is the
first half of delivery agreed upon
for this year The seeds will be
used in the Ukraine. for the most
part, the richest Soviet agricultural
district, which, earlier in the war,
was overrun to the extent of $780,
100000 acres by the Nazis.
During the German retreat in
l943 and 1914 the Nazis carried out
an effective policy of destruction
of nearly 100000 acres. This seed
help from the United States is made
possible, incidentally, through the
growth of this country Of practic-
ally new industry in America, in
pre-War days this country was pri-
marily a seed importer from Euro
pean nations and never produced
more than fraction of the seed re-
quired to SOW American crops. The
war has radically changed this.
Shipment of seeds to Russia means
great savings in shipping space IN
contrast with the vessels required
to move the finished food products
that will be represented by the
Soviet plants from these seeds.

Tire Quotes
Again Reduced

Passenger car tire quotas for the
month of February have been cut
by the Office of Price Administra
ton to 100000, the lowest since
last October, and are 100000 fewer
than last month and 100000 tires
below December Quotas Of tires for
tractor-implement use, on the Other
hand, remain unchanged at $4,000.
The February reduction, states Brig
Gen. Royal Lord, Deputy Chief of
Staff to General Eisenhower, can
be summed up in two Words-M Mil
itary Necessity He pointed out
that tires on war equipment wear
out at an enormous rate and that
the military Simply doesn't have
enoug'a tires" And in the words Of
Max Mccullough, Deputy OPA Adj
minlstrator for rationing, the re-.
duced passenger car tire qtiutas
again point up the vital Importance
OF prompt recapplng and tire re-
pairs.

Gives Interesting
Points on District
Basketball Records
By RAY Munro

District ID has some of the states
strongest B class ball clubs this
year. Whitefish is top ranking hav-
ing lost one game to Poison by a
narrow margin of one point. The
Bulldogs defeated Butte high, A
class to the tune of So to "a. They
have been spanked by their tall cen
ter, McNeilfy, and the tricky for
ward, Sagen. Second on the list is
Poison, being defeated by Whitefish
and recently losing to Hamilton.
Polson's team is tall and all are
good ball handlers. Leading their
offense is the tall Indian boy, Math-
las, who is very fast. Along with
him are the two forwards, Ridnour
and Deraunbeau, who have been
making high scores in most Of their
games.
Coach Russell Wasley's quintet
from Libby is in third place The
Terriers have won six conference
games and lost four but have been
undefeated in their five non-con-
ference games. High scorers for Lib
by's squad are Chapman, center,
and Nelson, forward. Columbia Falls
is next, rating nearly even with
Libby. They have a fast ball hand
ling club and are very accurate
on their shots. At the tournament
last year. Columbia Falls placed
first. Big Fork was. second in the
tournament last year and has a
$3.50 average in this years con-
ference. Eslick and Ripke lead them
in scoring honors. On the bot
tom for the district are Troy and
Eureka. Both teams have inexper-
fenced players to make up their
squads Due to the lack of neces-
sary data, this is the approximate
team standings at present, three
weeks before the tournament.

Why is This knowledge Important

Why is This knowledge Important
IN this Article we are continuing
the answers 10 the question, Why
is 4 knowledge of Rheumatic Fever
Imrnrtant9n We discussed the first
two Of the three reasons, and we
nav as we'll admit that they have
not been very cheerful reasons. To-
day we shall discuss the third rea-
con Because Something Can Be
Done About It. and we feel that
YOU will find this reason more OPP
simistic and reassuring.
All the knowledge in the world
would not justify these Articles if
you, to whom they are directed,
could do nothing about it.
Well then. what can be done
about it,
Cd Precautions may be taken to
prevent the first attack
~ Il this fails, and the attack
comes. you may be able to discover
its appearance in the early stages,
50 as to procure the proper care
TO prevent damage to the heart.
CD Even should this fail you may
yet be able to prevent occurrences
which cause the most damage.
(4) Finally, even though you fail
in all these steps and the heart
finally becomes crippled and UNI
able to carry on in the face of nor
NAL activities. you can learn how
to live with the Rheumatic heart
by limiting activities to the amount
of damage done the heart.
In the Articles which are to fol
low we shall attempt to tell you
how you can do something about
it. by discussing such questions as.
|. What do we mean by Rheu-
matte Fever2
2. What precautions should be
taken to avoid infection2
g. How can you discover its APP
pearance in the early stages
4 What precautions should be
taken to prevent occurrences?
5. What can be done for the pa
tient with damaged heart that
results from Rheumatic Fever?
