with the ordinary things around us.
I am reminded of story told by
Mrs. Cyril Conrad at the State Home
Demonstration club council conven-
ton in Bozeman last June. It does
have a point. She recalled how a
great sculptor began his art while
stuck in the mud one day. 1t seemed.
that his car was stuck in a special
kind of mud gumboi While await
ing assistance he began handling bits
of the sticky stuff and discovered
that it was easily shaped into forms.
It is often through the common place
things around US that the uncommon
and beautiful materializes.
While attending the council con-
vention was impressed with
painting shown by Mrs. Conrad. The
subject was an old, rusty, delapi-
dated truck cab. Had it been done in
the drabness of its present state it
would have presented nothing to the
imagination, but instead it was
painted in gay colors and was good
to look at
Housewives need hobbies-at least
one. Just being "busy body day
in and day out is bad for any woman.
don't mean to convey that she
shouldn't be interested in her house
work and needs of her family, but
when she uses little sef-expression
mingled with few creations of her
! own the result will be likened unto
a sparkling glass of champagne.
Hobbies relieve nervous tension
and bring added contentment to one
who is tired or depressed. Rural
housewives have a very good chance
during the winter months to create
or work on hobbies
One should never give up when an
idea does not work out at first. We
learn by our mistakes. IF one bakes
a poor cake, one does not stop baking
cakes; instead it is natural to keep
baking cakes for perfection.
Courage and ambition with due
consideration of ones intelligence
will bring good results IN creating a
hobby for those who do not already
have one.
Then, too, if we but look around
us, we can usually find someone who
has mastered the art of the newer
trends, one who would be willing to
teach others. Women like being
called upon for their ideas.
Hobbies can be profitable also
Show me the housewife who does
not experience the satisfaction Of
bringing in few extra coins through
her own efforts. There is the woman
who, after years of trying, finally

Hobbies k6r Aonssyi;ye,
By VERNA MAE BANTA, Jaditb Basin G

A HOBBY is not only worthwhile
but it can be very stimulating and
satisfying as well. Having hobby
is exciting and often helps to relieve
the sroutine-ism" in which so many
housewives find themselves
Hobbies may be simple, ordinary
things, such as growing flowers, max
ing aprons, or collecting salt shakers.
Then, on the other hand, hobby can
be something created from ones own
imagination and self-expression.
Did you ever try whiting on a
piece of soap or soft wood, or test
your skill in modelling clay? One
does not have to be a genius to in

ONCE AGAIN, YOUR NAMES, PLEASE

ONCE AGAIN, YOUR IA PLEASEyl
WE CONTINUE to receive from many of our subscribers
andior residents articles or letters for publication, some
clipped in connection with organizations, sects or cults. More
recently many letters, typewriter, have been received prais-
ing or damning certain of the candidates for a seat in the Mu-
nicipal Council The usual signature is "A Voter" By and
large, however, many of the articles are on topics of interest
to the public, and there is no doubt that readers will gladly
follow and even submit other articles, themselves, either in
support Of or differing as they may see fl. The articles, how
ever, do not carry the writers real names, which has been the
principal reason for not publishing them. Neither DO we know
to whom they belong so as to contact the writers directly, for
often the articles reach US with only a pen,name and at times,
as recently not even that
WE REPEAT, TIA it is good policy that those who
submit such articles and letters should also send their names.
We withhold such names if requested to do 50, and only the
pen name will be used and the writer's real name kept
confidential
WE BELIEVE, and have always urged, that many
people should write, on whatever topic Of interest to the pub
liz they see ft to write about. There are those who no doubt
believe that public expressions belong only to an Editor, but
this is byno means true. Lively discussions on matters Of
public interest, for example: the candidates for the Municipal
Council, the Presidential election, the pending Organic Act
with both sides presenting their views, can bring just as much,
both il effect and in reader interest, as an expression from the
editorial columns.
ONCE AGAIN WE urge also Eligibility. Il s often diff
cult for any one to handle satisfactorily 4 letter written IN
pencil, o. in ink on thin p~aper,both sides and approximately
six OF more pages with no two sheets Of paper being the same
size, unnumbered. To write clearly and placing numbers on
the top Of each page would insure not only early publication
but also avoid ~misquotes.
COOPERATION OF public in this connection IS
urgently requested and once again we invite letters and other
articles which We win be happy 70 publish and withhold your
name, if requested to do 50.

 Representative Patman is member of the House Banking and Currency Committee and has long studied banking and economic policies followed by the govern ment His most interesting comment along this line is that he believes the national debt could be carried by the 2 Reserve Banks and thus the taxpayer could be saved six-billion-dollar annual interest charge.
 However, the congressman does not advocate this step because he feels the evils which with out weigh the benefits.
 There is no way can stop Congress from fur ther using this easy method which painless in pro- viding money, Patnan said He believes therefore, that until better way found to provide the necessary media of exchange, the national debt be accepted as permanent fixture
 Patman also believes that economy needs the national debt, in way because the monetary sys- tenn is based upon national debt. He does not favor repudlatlon of the debt nm not penny of it.

Flyer Says Reports On Unsuitability of C-1l9s Were on File
tBy THE ASSOCIATED PHEss)

The Air Force in Washington said it has no intention of ground ing the C-119s unless a pattern of mechanical failure is estab- lished by accident investigations. |"
 A reserve officer said reports the transports are mot suitable" for Arctic operations have been on file with the Air Force since last April.
 Maj. William H. Jay, former commander of the 65th Troop Car rier Squadron, said he and an- other squadron commander filed the reports. Now a commercial airline pilot, Jay said the reports recommended the 'Fboxcars" be replaced by C-54s and C-124s.
 Another report, Jay said, was submitted by Maj. M. Let's, now with the 77th Squadron on duty in Alaska on Operation Warm wind.
 Jay said both reported serious difficulty in operating the planes in Arctic weather.
 An Air Force spokesman said no report on the C-119s being unsuitable for Arctic operations had been released.
 A C-119 smashed into an Alas kan peak Nov. 2, killing 19 men. Another vanished with 20 aboard in Alaska Saturday, the same day a Flying Boxcar crashed in Korea, killing all A aboard.

OLDEST LIFE INSURANCE POLICY WRITTEN IN 1868

DES MONIES, Iowa, (P) m Charles H. Hutsonpiller, 97, who took out his policy in 1868 when you had to get special permission to make the hazardous trip" to California, has been recognized as owner of the oldest life insur- ance policy in force in the United States.
 Hutsonpiller said his father bought him the S1,00O 1O-pay- ment Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance Policy when. he was 14 on the promise he would never drink liquor. He said he never has.
 The hand written policy con- tained a special clause granting permission to travel to or from California. Hutsonpiller has taken advantage of the clause several times.
 Tn the 8312 years the policy has been in force, dividends have totaled $578. Premiums totaled $340.90. The policy will mature when Hutsonpiller reaches 100.
