The Information Centers
were aimed in the beginning
toward enlightening the high
ly educated groups-teachers,
writer's, radio commentators
and other professional folk.
But now all restrictions haVe
been removed, and the Gen.
ters are as free as any Amer
lean public library-a step
that has resulted in pressure
from the peoples to make
their own libraries more ac-
cessible to the average man.
Fees and other barriers, such
as chicken wire protecting
some bookshelves in Japan,
prevented peoples of the oc-
cupied countries from seeking
information from their libra
rleS as Americans do in
the open-shelf system.
At first residents of these
countries were frankly sus-
picious of the centers. For
several weeks an American
attendant at the Information
Center in Stuttgart, Germany,
had noticed a studious-look-
ing former Wehrmacht officer
poring over books and maga-
zines in the library.

wouldn't believe them" the
German said. II was sure
these Information Centers
were just another propaganda
trick. We are all sick to death
of propaganda. But now I
must confess that for the first
time in my life 1 understand

The peoples of the occupied
countries ask myriad ques-
tions about America. How
does the United States elect
its President? What are the
advances of medicine during
recent years? How does mod
ern education function? What
are the parliamentary pro-
cedures and general aims of
women's clubs? These are a
few of the queries received at
the Information Centers.
Although most of the books
sent to the centers are writ
ten in English, a small pro-
portion is translated by pub
fishers in the occupied coun-
tries. Since late 1946 a million
books In 600 different titles
have been published in these
countries, and when all con-
tracts made to date are COM
pleted the total will pass the
seven-million mark. While
there is widespread demand
for books In native languages,
paper shortages have delayed
the translation projects.

 Ingratitude is monstrous and is, as stated by Fuller. the abridg- ment of all baseness,-a fault never found unattended with oth CT viciousness. It brings forth re breaches from friends and the stern disapproval of God.
 A sample of such ingratitude is displayed in the above incident. Ten men plagued with leproSy cried unto the Lord for mercy. Christ heard their cry and they were healed Only one of the ten was grateful enought to return and offer his thanks, and he was a despised Samaritan.

Human "Nreta on lcafN uncookcd foods, careless lOodhandicrS ,carriCrSD, and unprotected or unsatisfactory water supplies also play import ant roles in transmission. The major cpjdemics have been traced to grossly polluted water such as was the case in the 1883 Chicago Hotel epidemic which resulted in approximately l05O cases of which 70 persons succumbed to the infections. The infection in that epidemic was carried to 43 states, Hawaii and Canada.

 The 'ripened" cyst of ENDA MOEBE HISTOIYTICA is the in fective stage in man. These cyst are taken into the mouth with contaminated food or drink and swallowed. When they reach the small intestine a condit ion known as excystation occurs. This results in the single cyst being divided first into four growing stages which in turn divide by binary fission (splitting) into eight grow ing organisms called trophozoitfS. These forms attack the intestinal mucosa of the large intestine or lower bowel. especially the cecal- appendical and sigmoido-rectal re- oions. Extension to the liver and other parts of the body may oc- cur from the ulcer produced in these regions Some of the tro- phozotites go through encystation and pass out of the body as cysts.

IDEA IN

THERE are many miles of rivers
and creeks in Montana that
could furnish water for irrigation
to land in their valleys if some
method could be devised to get
their waters on the land nearby.
We think our plan solves the prob
lem. And here it is: Erect one or
more windmills near the water to
pump the water to an artificial tank
located on the high ground to be
irrigated farther from the water
supply. This tank could be scraped
out and lined with asphalt or con-
crete and should hold enough to
irrigate five acres at one time.
Wind power is the cheapest pow
er in the state. The only outlay for
it would be a few gallons of oil each
year and a few feathers for the
pumps
Our plan proposes to let the wind
mills run whenever the wind blows
and when the tank or reservoir is
full to let the water irrigate as
much land as it would cover no
matter what time of year that might
be. Narrowing the ground a day or
two after irrigation would hold the
water in the ground till needed the
next year. By this plan wind power
could pump enough water to irri-
gate at least 20 acres of land, which
if seeded to alfalfa, would produce
at least go tons of hay.
Another idea in this connection
would be to put your manure in
this reservoir and distribute fertil-
ity as you irrigate, thus enriching
your land instead of impoverishing
it-C. E. KITTINGER, Missoula
county.
Still another idea in this connec-
ton: The bitches leading away
from the big tank would soak away
considerable water that would seem
to be wasted, but if apple, plum
cherry, pear and apricot trees were
planted near the ditch the water
would not be wasted.

trouble with the governments pro-
gram offered to save grain and food
is that it was started from the top
to work down, and it should be the
other way around.
If local papers would run daily
or weekly columns and give the
public a chance to express their
views, no doubt some of the best
suggestions would come from the
mothers of large families who have
the smaller incomes.
Regarding the actual saving of
grain on the farms, the same thing
would apply. People will cooperate
in a program they help originate,
which will fit their needs, and they
object to one which is theoretical.
There could be debates, contests
or other forms of publicity which
would help make everyone more
conservative when it comes to vast
ing grain or food.
Why not give public eating place
owners, managers, chefs, cooks and
walters ar opportunity to express
their views. Some of their sugges-
tons are certain to be good.
The customers should have their
inning also. They usually have a lot
to "kick" about.

always be like they are right now

CLASH OF WORLD FORCES

TWO world forces are clashing:
- Communism, wherein the state
is master of man, against the forces
representing service, religion, and
human freedom, wherein man is the
master of state.
There was a time when a nation
could live Independently. Today
there are no boundaries. Radio and
airplanes have wiped out time and
space. Much of the world is trying
to clothe the naked, feed the hum
cry and free the captive, while COM
munistic policies and actions create
c%onfusions and delay peace.
Freedom and democracy if they
want to endure must in some way
meet the problem of educating the
voting adult in %civics, history and
communal responsibility, which are
the fundamentals of life, liberty
and self-government of a free peo-
pie. Our educational system as it
exists has failed to develop or inn
press qualities in our citizens neces-
sary to maintain freedom from state
oppression.
Individually, yes, we seem edu-
Gated, but collectively or in mob or
pressure groups we are ignorant.
To protect us in this emergency we
need al organization to work with
the FBI to check past records for
actions, thoughts and words of all
appointed and political candidates
before they r appointed or elect
ed. There is no place in America for
anyone with communistic thoughts,
other than in private iife.-WIL-

CLEANERS"

A few months ago there was a
picture in a daily paper showing a
field of wheat being threshed in
a European country.
1t also showed a group of city
people in the field picking up left
over grain to help ward off hunger.
1t was labeled Modern Cleaners"
Their actions were made necessary
by a destructive war and poor crop
conditions, as Mother Nature had
not co-operated.
In this country Mother Nature
has been very kind to us the last
eight years. There have been some
floods, drouths and destructive
storms, but the damages suffered
were small compared with the
whole.
There is an old saying: ga wilful
waste makes a woeful want" The
question is, will Mother Nature con-
tinue to be kind to us if we con-
tInue TO waste!
Recently a garbage man made the
front page of a daily paper with his
story about all of the good food that
goes in the garbage cans. He
blamed young wives for most of it.
We know there is a lot of waste,
and the problem of eliminating it
may vary from one community to
another. The writer believes the

This method is exceedingly simple.
Place a bit of friction tape around

be a snug fit-sufficiently tight to
