Der who had an unusual Op-
pOrtunlty to observe the
preparations made for guard
ing the Chief Executive cx-
pressed amaZement at the in
finite care surrounding the
arrangements, and the ma
chine like precision with
which the details were car
ricd out.
Just who is responsible
who plans all thiS?' he asked.
1T is remarkable" "
The answer is easy and the
pattern itself is old The exc
cution is in the hands of the
White House Secret Service
detail, a husky group. usually
young. whose sole job is to
protect the President .- and
whose members never leave
anything to chance. They
throw a hguratlVc iron cur
tain around the Nations No.
Citizen. and in the more
than 40 years since this task
was handed over to the Scrv-
ice no President has come to
harm
When a President prepares
to 90 away from the White
House his route is known to
the last foot, whether the
destination be three blocks or
that many thousand miles
distant If police or troops
are needed for picket" duty
they are called for by the
Secret Service. which pre-
ScrlbeS how they are to be
placed. Every one with whom
the President will come into
close contact also is known
ahead of time and his every
move is watched by vlgllant
eyes.
AT the outset this SurVcll-
lance can be counted on to be
lrkSOme to the recipients.
Eventually they come to ac-
cept it as part of the regular
order. Even President Tru-
man, with his penchant for
going where and when he
wants to. now accepts the SyS-
tenn, but he wryly remarks
that he causes more of a stir
moving around than a circus
does
While the precautions that
the Secret Service takes now
are somewhat relaxed from
those of wartime, the meas
urcS still are far more rigid
than in the old days Of peace,
and tins is true even up to
the doors of the President
office. Reporters and photog-
rapherS regularly assigned to
the White House carry Spe-

If the President drives
through a city in an open car
Secret Service men stand on

the street, SO they can watch
the populace and buildings.
If, as often happens, the car

for a Secret Service man must
know how to use his fists as
we'll as a gun, and in a pos
Slblc emergency there is no
time for questions
When the President dimes
in a public place the walters
are checked. Finger printing
was required during the war,
and there were some Surpris-
ing results. The seating ar
rangement also is planned
carefully,
Dining out was not much of
a problem for the presidential
detail in the war years. for
President Roosevelt seldom
was away from home for din
ncr. On one occasion a report
was spread that the Secret
Service. fearful of poison, no
longer would permit Mr.
Roosevelt to eat hotel food.
II was said the service in
sisted that the White House
kitchen prepare and send out
the presidential rcpaSt il Mr..
Roosevelt was a dinner guest
any place When the story
was traced to its source 1t
developed that Mr. Roosevelt
had been having dental trOu-
bic on one occasion when he
accepted a dinner invitation
and was unable to eat the
regular fare.
When the President travels
out of Washington and be-
comes the second responsible
lty of a local police force, his
presence can be counted on
to cause some hosts to become
jittery-or perhaps ovcr-ottl-
ciouS every so often
some one travelling with the
President runs afoul of the
upset conStabulary. Invarl-
ably, then. a member Of the
detail steps in to act as buffer
and smooth any rutfled feel
ingS.
The Secret Service soon
will observe a birthday-82 on
July 2-but it was not until
after the assassination OF
President Mckinley that 1t
was charged with the duty OF
protecting the President.
The White House detail now
is headed by James j. RoWlcy.

Prevent Next
Year S Fires

Missoula, Oct 6-This fall is the
time to dispose of hazards which
may threaten our forests and range
lands next year, State Forester
Ruthledge Parker and Regional
Forester P. D. Hanson jointly Stated
today in urging that National Fire
Prevention Week, beginning TODAY.
be observed by constructive action.
The most damaging forest fires
during the past several years have
resulted from fire hazards which
could well have been eliminated.
Such menaces as abandoned build
lngs, old sawmill settings, tunbled-
down cabins and ramshackle mining
structures, have been the source Of
fires which have destroyed vast
areas of forest and range. The
same fires have burned ranch
homes, fences and haystacks. These
useless fire traps should be burned
or otherwise eliminated during the
wet season, when it can be done
cheaply and safely, the foresters
say.
Fireproofing area and grounds
around mining buildings, sawmills,
ranch buildings and summer homes
by disposal of inflammable litter
now is another thing that will pay
dividends in safeguarding invest
ments in improvements as well as
forests and range lands, they say.
Another great danger to our for
ests in the slash and debris accumu-
lated in the forest following log
ging or woOd-cutting operations.
Unless this highly inflammable
is disposed of before the
dry weather of next spring, there
is certainty that disastrous fires
will occur. Owners of slash areas
should pile and burn this hazardous
during safe weather with
out delay. The risk in carrying it
through the next summer is too
great, according to Mr.. Parker.

MAIL BOXES NOT TO
BE USED AS TARGETS

A number of complaints have
been received from patrons on the
Star Route regarding the shooting
of mail baxes.
This practice seems to show a
very poor training in the use OF
firearms, the respect of others
property and is also a very dan
gerous habit. 1t would seem that
anyone old enough to carry and
shoot firearms should be old enough
to realize that this practice is an
offense punishable by law, and
sooner or later they will have to
pay the penalty
For your own good and for the
safety of others do not use mail
boxes for targets.
