American FTOiUers
Bloom in PrOfusiOn'
In Far-OH Pacific

American flowers are blooming in
profusion this summer around
army and marine corps hospitals in
the far-off Pacific area.
Convalescent servicemen, finding
their way back to health in these
hospitals, all the way from the Phil
ippines to Japan are the gardeners.
The flower seeds, and vegetable
seeds too, are supplied by Daugh-
ters of the American Revolution.
Tiny packets of seeds have been
distributed through war department
cooperation to the various Pacific
areas. This year, 6,734 packages of
seeds have been sent to the hospi-
tails. The grand total since the prof.
ect was originated is more than
so, 900 packets Of seeds.
The seeds are given to the con-
valescent men and are planted in
gardens adjoining the hospital
building. The patients have their
choice of seeds and thus can grow
the varieties Of flowers and vege-
tables which might be found in
their own yard back home.

ect has been continued by OAR.
because of the many requests from
hospitals overseas. In many hospi-
tails there is keen rivalry among the
men in growing the flowers and
vegetables. Medical officers re-
ported that the war gardens have
greatly aided patients in their re-
covery to health.

School Problem

Members of the District 6
school board, concerned with
prospects of three times as many
students, when Hungry Horse
gets into full swing, Thursday
evening listened to Paul A. Jones,
Hungry Horse project engineer,
and A. F. Winkler, Flathead CT
tizens' committee chairman.
Also participating in the spec
cial meeting were Miss Lulu Bar
nard county schools superinten-
dent, and Ambrose Measure,
county attorney.
Mr.. Winkler, recently returned
from Washington, where he ap-
peared in behalf of Hungry
Horse, assured the board that the
dam was definitely part of Pa
cific Northwest and national de-
velopement. He added that it
might take until June before the
actual appropriation for dam
construction itself is made.
It was thought by Mr.. Winkler,
Mr.. Jones and board members
that flow of new people into the
district somewhat depended on
the amount of appropriation.
81, 100000 was recommended by
the budget board.
Mr.. Jones commented that the
date of letting the prime con-
tract would depend generally OH
the amount of appropriation.
This could be next winter or
next spring.
With the letting of the contract
will come the first of up to
4 900 men who will be building
the dam itself. Before the dam
itself is started the contractor
will likely build a town for his
In the meantime there
will be between 200 and 300 men
