farm lady who was caught in the
old points for scholarship" mag
azine subscription scheme. 1t was
an 18-year- old girl this time who
was working for points" that would
give her scholarship for nurses
training course.
Which reminds us of the many
radio and newspaper appeals seen
recently practically begging girls to
enter nurses training to help fill the
vital need of hospitals the nation
over for more nurses.
Many of the larger hospitals give
al-expense scholarships to girls with
high scholastic ratings who need fl
nancial help. But you can bet these
scholarships don't come from sell
ing magazine subscriptions. Tuition
fees are kept so low that financial
help is seldom needed anyway. One
of the larger hospitals we know of
offers the 3-year nurses training
program for little more than $40 per
month. This fee includes board,
room, uniforms, textbooks and in
fact all expenses except personal
spending money.
Sympathy Appeal Sill Good
But the sympathy appeal is still
good one to work on Montana's
naturally good hearted farm and
ranch folk, so the slick salespeople
keep it up. The only hope is that
the word will spread around, as it
most certainly will, warning people
to be suspicious of these high-pres-
sure artists who are after "dona-
tions," points," or any number of
other angles designed to get money
for subscription that may or may
not be wanted. But here is the let
ter:
II just read your article Smooth
Salesman Gets No Response, and
about your protective service. see
in the article that the woman was
from Saltwater county. So am I.
But the salesman wasn't man in
my case, it was girl Rather young.
She said she was 18, but I believe
now she was older, and which told
her. She said she was working for
points for scholarship for nurses
training and of course fed me a big
line, and of course again, bit-hook,
line and singer. She sold me two
subscriptions to magazines, calling
me 'kid" all the time, and got away
with $3.50 of our hard-earned cash.
Effective Line"
Several of my neighbors bought
subscriptions to magazines from this
girl, too. So I guess I'm not the
only sucker caught by line.
''Oh, yes, she said she was from
Billings. She also asked if I had
seen her picture in the Billings paper
about having high honors.
~ told her I remembered some
pictures in the paper, (But l didn't
pay enough attention to know
whether she was one of them or not.)
"At that time I had small son
just two weeks old and hadn't quite
recuperated from that shock on my
system and I'm shocked again now to
think I was so foolish.
"She was driving station wagon
with an out-of-state license I found
out afterward. And a fellow was
here and mentioned after she lef
that he thought that was the very

Korean attack raised the question
whether an army that isn't capa-

capable of defense.
Japan is already a full -fedged

The full story of japanese par

not been told for the obvious rea-
son that Japan is technically. at
least, an enemy nation.
But without Japanese help the
defeat of the North Koreans
would have been delayed consid-
erably. And it is no exaggeration
to say that we might have been
pushed out of Korea without that
