Of The Star. and a report on the
national Girl Scout convention.
held last month in Boston, by
Mrs. Roy Layton. of Chevy Chase,
new national Girl Scout president.
Miss Fleeson hailed the efforts
OF American women who are
working to keep world peace and
avert another world war. We've
reached the point where it's pos
sible to destroy civilization and
it's to avert that war that women,
who are better than the men when
1t comes to putting the general in
terest ahead of personal interest,
are SO good" she declared. Your
job is fully as important" she told
the Girl Scout leaders. II con-
gratulate YOU on your spirit and
wish you success in your work"
Devoting most of her talk to
politics. Miss Fleeson expressed
doubt that either President Tru-

there should be some lively scrap
ping in the Democratic party be-
fore that problem is solved"
The speaker also expressed the
opinion that Gen. Eisenhower
would be "a Republican candidate,
if one at ALL"
Mrs. Layton called on the ap-
proximately 400 Scout leaders

For late summer bloom in the

until late summer when the

Preparing q Good Lawn
~Shoice of Mixtures, Proper Seeding
And Continued Care Produce Results
By W. H. Younqmon

The average home owner thinks
Of lawn as something to be
planted with grass seed and sell
dom gives a thought to the kind
Of grass which he wants. This is
not unusual because for many
years we have taken the offer
ings Of the lawn grass seed mix
ers and thought nothing OF 1t.
But with the continued problem
of keeping our lawns green ana
with many weeds to mar the ap-
pearance, home owners have been
seeking an answer to their prob
lem. This, of course, has encour-
aged research workers to corouct
many tests. DR.. Fred ". Grau,
director, United States Golf Asso-

ducts much of the lawn grass re-

DR.. Grau has long pointed out
that certain grasses will not thrive

This is patent because Kentucky

Christmds Seal Sale
Opens in County

Big Horn County residents
will receive their 1851 Christ
mas seals in the mail Monday,
enclosed with letters from the
Big Horn County Tuberculosis
association asking support for
its prevention and control cam
paign, according to Mrs. I. Z.
Dehnert, chairman. The forty
fifth annual seal sale will. con-

"The Santa Claus featured on
the 1851 Christmas seal is ira
ditionally the embodiment OF
unselfish giving - a virtue, in
cidentally, which has largely
motivated the American public's
purchases of Christmas seals for
over four decades" said Mrs.
Dehnert. This unselfish giving
of the American public, has
made the fight against tubercu-
losis possible.
The 1851 Christmas seal was
designed by Robert Stephens, a
resident of Newark, N. j., and
an outstanding commercial art
list. The model for Mr.. Stephens
design was a Santa Claus he
fashioned in clay for, his small
daughter. As the seal testifies,

|Armisfiee Speaker
Says War
Must Be Avoided

Brother, you amt never had
it SO bad" concluded DR.. Nat
Kntzman in describing the hor-
rible consequences in case OF
an atomic war at ArmiStice
services here last Monday morn
ing. "..
Dr.. HUFFMAN, from the de-
partment of physics at Montana
State college, Bozeman, was
principal speaker at the annual
Armist1ce service sponsored by
Hardin post No. g., American
Legion, and chose as his sub
ject who DareS."
Although the dead of World
War I are remembered the
horrors of that war may have
been forgotten, the speaker said,
but an atomic war would be
much more horrible than any
previous war. No one anywhere
would be safe, since the war
would come to our own door
step. He listed as possible tar
gets in Montana, if war should
come, Butte, Great Falls, Bill
ings and even Hardin, because
OF its sugar factory. 3.
I'VE need assurance there will
be no such war; d.. Kutzlnan
said. .%
We know Russia has the
atom bomb, but we do not know
how many she has. It is DR..
Kutzman'S belief that we are
better able to deliver the atom
bomb than Russia, and that our
technicians are further advanc-
ed than RuSSia'S. But we must
maintain our lead, he added.
In case of war, the speaker
listed probably bomb targets in
the following order: Large in
dustrial centers, financial CEN
tiers, Washington, d. c., and
shipping centerS. He said two
or three bombs could put New
York harbor out of commission
for several months. One bomb
could stop shipping in San
Francisco harbor, he said.
Dr. HUFFMAN said there is diff
ference of opinion concerning
how decisive bombing would be
in case of war, adding that it is
his belief that the question
would depend upon how long
the people would be able to en-
dure the horrors of such bomb
ing. xs "~- -.
Describing the damage which
could be done with one atomic
bomb blast, the speaker said
that if a bomb were exploded
1000 feet above a given target,
500 of the people within a
radius of one-half mile would
be killed by the blast and the
other 500 in the same radius
would be killed by flying deb
ris and collapsing buildings. All
buildings, with the exception of
steel reinforced concrete would
be leveled. All buildings within
a A-mile radius would be I'm
inhabitable, those within 2
miles would need major repair,
and within an 8-mile radius
windows would be broken and
frame structures would collapse.
In addition to deaths caused
by conclusion Of the blast and
flying debris, those within one
mile radius would have third
degree burns from the heat
