Preventing Damage to Buildings
BY Termites And Their Control

Ground nesting, termites cost the
people many millions of dollars each
year. No adequate survey to deter
mine the actual amount of damage
has ever been made, but it is known
that large sums of money are spent
in making repairs and in applying
control measures.
Termite control will be a major
item in the maintenance of many of
the military and defense housing
projects. Because of need for speed
in construction and the impossibility
Of providing thorough supervision,
certain of the important preventive
measures have been disregarded, es-
pecially in many of the earlier pro-
jects. A large number of private and
federal housing projects for workers
in war industries and at military
centers are still to be constructed. It
Is hoped that the information given
will be of assistance in drawing up
plans that will result in a minimum
of future damage by termites. Effect
i've preventive measures used in all
new construction and the application
of effective control measures where
termite infestation do develop will
contribute to the success of the war
program by reducing waste of mater
ials and manpower. This tremendous
amount of public interest is occasion
ed by what is often and unwarrant-
ed fear of immediate and critical
damage to buildings. Many greatly
exaggerated statements have been
made regarding the destructiveness
of trmites and people have come to
regard termites.

~LAWLESSNESS THRIVES
TwentY-second in q Series
By ANNA NICKOL

LIlOIN llCIs UNWIND WSlS always
4 places where a good deal of law
lessness throve, and mining towns
were particularly bad because their
wealth was in such handy, easily
carried and disposed of form. Mon
tana did not breed the rough ele-
ment which largely met its end here.
Practically every person, certainly
every leader, put to death by the
early vigilance committees had es-
capped from some other community
which had become too uncomfort-
able for him.
To name a few, Boone Helm left
his home in Missouri after stabbing
a man in a quarrel for which Helm
was wholly responsible. That was
only the beginning of his criminal
record, which heightened year by
year, along the west coast, as well
as in the Rocky mountain gold
camps and in Canada.
Bill Bunton had murdered a man
in Walfa Walla, Wash; Clubfoot
George had been in trouble in Idaho;
Henry Plummer had travelled widely
and left a trail of blood. To a des-
perado the problem was to find that
community which had the least law
and order, the best opportunities for
theft.
Drifting Population
At first the three gold camps
Bannack, Virginia City and Helena
were like any other mining COM
munities-unsettled occupied by a
shifting group which did not plan
to make homes, but to acquire for
tunes which could be taken back to
civilization. Gold could not buy
either security or comfort in the
wilderness.
Most of the miners were honest
and spent their time prospecting OF
working lawfully established claims
wherever a little stream made pan
ming gold a profitable occupation
But within a year of the first rich
strikes an element devoted to any
thing but work began to make it.
self felt.
N. P. Langford, in his "Vigilante
Days and Ways" says that shooting
up the town was a common sport
that certain men, when they entered
a place, caused so much commotior
that the discreet and timid fled fo.
shelter; that wholly ~inoffensive me-
were shot for refusing to take an
other drink.
Miners courts were resorted to il
disputes which demanded immedi
ate settlement, and such courts ha'
condemned murderers to death
though the sentences, with the e2
ception of that passed on a ma
named Spellman, who was accuse
of horse thieving, rather than mu1
der, had not been carried out.
Montana farmer-stockman., 1948-01-15

But crime increased more rapidly
after these abortive attempts at JUS
tice than before.
To understand completely the
forms which vandalism took, it is
necessary to have a clear idea of
the country in which gold is found.
From Lewiston, Idaho, to Deer
Lodge, Bannack, Virginia City and
Helena, the whole terrain is broken
and rough, covered by sage, grease
wood and small thickets of alder,
cottonwood and willow, with the
divides marked by evergreen forests.
The number of gullies, scattered
boulders, wooded bottom lands and
hidden crevices in river canyons Of
fers an endless succession of places
for concealment, both of thieves and
stolen property, in any size from a
small buckskin bag of gold dust to
a herd of horses. And robbery of all
sorts was practiced, frequently fol-
lowed by murder, when concealment
of guilt or the safety of the guilty
was at stake.
Murder With ImpunitY
AS success made these criminals
bold, no real motive seemed neces-
sary. Often enough, men were shot
down to satisfy a small grudge, or
in bravado, to impress bystanders.
Langford mentions murder in
Lewiston, Idaho, in 1861, when the
murderers walked calmly off, min
Cling with the crowd. Dozens of per-
sons saw them, but no one made an
effort to restrain them.
A meeting was held to decide if
any action ought to be taken. A
saloon keeper named Patrick Ford
strongly recommended a vigilance
committee to hang those and other
criminals, but Henry Plummer, as
the honest gambler which most peo-
pie then thought him, requested ear
nestly that no such anarchistic ac-
ton be taken, since it would in itself
be Illegal and a disgrace to their
young town.
PIummer Vetoes Vigilantes
Plummer's eloquence carried the
day, and Ford shortly after lost his
life when he ordered several roughs
from his saloon.
Lewiston, Idaho, was, in the early
1865, closely connected with min
ing operations in Montana, since its
location IL miles from the junction
of the Snake river with the Column
bia made it the easiest gateway to
civilization. Therefore, roads which
passed between the various towns,
and particularly that to Lewiston,
were infested with masked and
mounted robbers, who struck when
ever the possible treasure being car
ried made the risk worth while.
In time, certain spots became no.

where the robbers made their

Van PnnSSen
Heard on Israel

Pierre, Van Paassen, eminent
author and journalist, speaking
before an audience at the Ros-
kruge school last night under the
auspices of the local ZOA, de-
clared that our foreign policy,
contrary to the Constitution, is
set by a group of men in the State
Department who are bewitched
by British diplomacy so that our
foreign policy is hitched to that
of Britain.
Asked if he thought there would
be war, Van Paassen said he be-
lieved Russian diplomacy would
show a greater inclination to col
laborate with the West if they
were convinced we do not intend
to rebuild German heavy indus
try for that is one thing Russia,
and for that matter France, look
on as a menace.

their lives, are treated as step-chil-

Voice Of Democracy
Contest Ends Nov II
Winner To Be Selected At
Public Meeting AT Hagerstown
High School November 18.

Every high school in the county
is participating in the Voice of
Democracy" contest, sponsored by
the Hagerstown Junior Chamber of
Commerce, which as you will re-
member, was won by Miss Laura
Shatto last year, who then went on
to win national honors.
The contest will close on Novem-
Der IL, and on that date the various
high schools will arrange to have
the essays of their contestants
judged. The next day, November
Is, the winner in each high school
contest will have his or her essay
recorded at either WEI or WARK,
both of which stations are cooper
ating in the contest. When all re-
cordings of the high school winners
have been completed, these record
ings will be judged by a committee
set up by the Junior Chamber of
Commerce, and the four that are
adjudged best will then compete in
the Hagerstown finals, which will
be held in the auditorium of the Ha-
gerstown High School on Thursday
night, November Is, and the winner
announced.
The Junior Chamber of Com
merce has not yet selected the
judges for the final contest, but as
was the case last year, the judges
will be a group of Hagerstown citi-
zens selected at large from the COM
munity. Prizes will be awarded to
the winner in each high school con-
test, and. of course, the major prize
will go to the winner of the Hag-
erstown finals, and that winner in
turn will go to Baltimore at a later
date to participate in the state fin
ais, and it is hoped, go on to win
national honors.
The meeting at the Hagerstown
High School on Thursday night, No
vember 18, in which the four final
lists in the Hagerstown contest will
be judged, will also be a general
membership meeting of the Hagers-
town Junior Chamber of Commerce,
and the meeting will be open to the
public. So, if you attend, you will
be serving two purposes; first, you
will be able to hear the essays of
the four fnalists in the Voice of
Democracy" contest, and you will
also be able to see for yourself how
your Junior Chamber of Commerce
conducts its meetings and business.
