Bombing Range
On Reservation
To Be Searched

The wartime bombing range,
II miles north of Browning, will
be searched for old shells or other
explosive missiles that may re-
main t h ere from practice by
trainees stationed at the air base
at Cut Bank.
In a release from the Corps of
Engineers, U. S. Army, at Sc
attic, announcement is that an g.
man bomb and shell disposal
team, with Capt. Jesse F. Dono-
van in charge, will be in this area
in the near future to make t h e
search.
Circumstances of h e search
are explained in the release as
follows:
Several fatal accidents h a v e
occurred as a result of persons
handling o | d shells or other ex-
plosive missiles found at former
army practice ranges throughout
the United States. In at attempt
to avert any similar accidents,
action is being taken at this time
to have all ranges in the Seattle
District reinspected.
According to Colonel Hewitt,
metal objects found on or n e r
these ranges should not be dis
turhed no matter how harmless
they may appear. Colonel Hew-
lit urged t h a t persons having
knowledge of the whereabouts of
shells or o t h e r similar missiles
report the location of such objects
to t h e county sheriff's office.
Captain Donovan will get in
touch with the county sheriff up
on arrival in the area, and he or
a member of the Bomb and Shell
Disposal Team will Immediately
inspect the objects and if found
to contain explosives will destroy
them.

Crafts Association Head
Reports Craft Progress

Mrs. Mahala Mueller, manager
of t h e Northern Plains Indian
Crafts Association, is here from
Billings this week to supervise
work of getting the local North
ern Plains craft shop in readiness
for the seasons opening.
1t is tn e only retail outlet of
the association, the Billings head
quarters being devoted to whole
sale activities and to the acquir-
ing of Indian-made merchandise
from various craft association
members.
The largest stock in the history
of the association is available this
year, Mrs. Mueller said. Growing
interest in t h e work, together
with an appreciation by m or e
people of its economic value to
them is attributed to larger guam
titles of stock for the invoice.
The quality of W or k, Mrs.
Mueller a i d, is getting to be
more outstanding. Among other
things to appeal to retail buyers
were the new adaptations of In
dian-made goods and in a scheme
of artistry as to be in loyalty to
Indian tradition.

deadline back to December 81 will
push onto the school responsibility
of taking care of some 5-year-olds
for a good share of the day, making
mothers happy-and also the in
creased enrolment will put more
money into the school treasury where
it is sorely needed. All of which
is to the good so far as mothers
and school finances are concerned
but does it benefit the child? If it
does, we're for it-however, some
evidence appears to point the other
way. When grade teachers met with
the school board to recommend No
vember l as the deadline year
ago last spring, they produced data
showing that in the great majority
of cases through the grades and
high school it was the older pupils
in the class who did the better work.
Nothing succeeds like success and
the current lack of interest in foot
ball on the part of high school boys
may reflect indifferent results of
last years grid season and an ap-
praisal of little prospect for i'm
provement this year. The fans have
been insistent that Bluffton, a Glass

The Red Cross Man got the
surprise of his life yesterday.
The Red Cross Man is James
r. Nicholson, executive vice pres
ident and general manager of the
American National Red Cross.
He found himself the guest OF
honor at a surprise party to cele-
brate his 30th anniversary with
the organization, attended by Gen.
George c. Marshall. president OF
the American Red Cross. and
more than 500 staff members in
the Interior Department audito-
rum.
To use the military term, sur
prise was achieved despite the
numbers involved-in other words,
the party was a success.
How 1t Was Done.
It was done in this way: Mr..
Nicholson was brought to the
meeting under the impression that
he was to introduce the general
that its purpose was to give the
several hundred Red Cross paid
workers-or staff members-in
Washington a chance to see the
distinguished soldier and states
man who took over the presidency
almost three months ago.
Helen Christopherson. chairman
of the staff council, was chairman.
Livingston L. Blair, vice president
for the Junior Red Cross. pre-
sented Mr.. Nicholson with q
watch, the gift of the staff. and
Gen. Marshall pinned the 30-year
service bar of the Red Cross on
his lapel.
The occasion might have passed
unnoticed. had it not been for
George Murphy, who Is on the In
formation desk at the entrance
to the Red Cross building on
Seventeenth street NV. On Sat-
urday. October IS, when the boss
entered the building, Mr.. Murphy
congratulated him on his 30th an
niversary.
The big Red Cross publicity
staff heard about it and decided
something should be done-but
that 1t should wait for Gen.
Marshall's return from an inspec-
tion trip.
Tells Of Experiences.
Mr. Nicholson, a vigorous man
Of Sc, talked about his Red Cross
experiences in an interview.
He was born in Leominster,
Mass. son of Yankee shirt manu-

who have met Joseph Stain. That
was when he accompanied the
Hartman -Beaverbrook mission to
Moscow in September, 1941, and
attended one of those Kremlin
dinners with all the toasts.
The mission left him behind
to make some arrangements. and
he was afraid he would not get
out, but an affable man named
Andrei Vishinsky-the same man
that makes all the lirades-started
him on global hitch-hike that
got him to Washington on the Gay
