When We
Give
Thanks
for bountiful harvests, for unexampled
industrial production for Victories that
promise a lasting peace, we may
well remember to give thanks, also, for
the fact that we are Americans.
Hie spirit of the nation has made pos
sible its achievements.
Only as we seek, in all humility, to de
serve our good fortune, can the America
we know hope to endure.

THANKSGIVING FOR MANY THINGS
This is our first thanksgiving in four years in which
world, if not tranquil, is at peace.
There are so many things to be thankful for, so many
whom we all owe our gratitude this year of 1945. For the first
time, after long waiting, it will be the whole family that can
seated at the festive table in many homes. In some, it is true,
there will be a vacant chair. And we can give thnaks to those
silent, if eloquent, legions, just as we offer our prayers at the
safe return of many more.
Perhaps, for a day, it will be better to think of all the simple,
homely things that now mean so much—for the har.vest, for the
happy, healthy youngsters, for a measure of security and relax
ation. for the food itself and for all the blessings that are enjoyed
by no other people in the world.
With all we have, not only of the body but of the spirit, we
have real cause this year to celebrate this typically American
holiday.

said the bill sponsored by Sen. B.

very little opposition because the
war department already had ap
proved the transfer.
''There Is little prospect," he said,
"that any other department or bu

Acquisition of the grounds and,
buildings, he said, would "provide
our national guard with ample bar-I

provide a great incentive to Mon

the kinds of trees available from the
nursery operating under the Clark

The extension forester also re
ported that last year 576 Montana
farmers and ranchers ordered 203 ,
905 trees for shelterbelt purposes. Of
these applications, 375 were for new
plantings and 181 were for replace
ments in old shelterbelts. The
largest number of orders came from
Cascade county where 70 persons
ordered trees. Teton county was
next with 38 orders and Carbon
county third with 27.

The cannery opened July 24 with

It was sponsored by the local school
district, which furnished the school
shop building, work and prepara

automatic gas equipment and mis

partment furnished four pressure

.Despite a very poor growing sea

well received by the community and
handled a much larger volume of
canning than had been expected.
Supervisor Dailey's report says. He
estimates that with a normal year,
the cannery should handle at least
three times the amount canned this

Pupil Gives Alarm
in Bible School
Fire; Flames Halted
By Courier Correspondent
GRANDVIEW — Quick action in
spreading the alarm by Henry
Stelzer, only occupant of the build
ing, resulted in limiting damage
caused by a fire of undetermined
origin in the Lustre Bible school
Friday night. There is insurance on
the building and principal damage
is to the floor and rafters support
ing it.
Stelzer had gone to bed early
after other school pupils had left
for the week end. He awoke about 8
in a smoke-filled room. Seeing flame
through a furnace register, he
poured a bucket of water down the
register, then ran to the phone and
gave a general call for all parties
on the line.
The Bethel Lustre church choir
was holding practice at the nearby
J. F. Huebert home. Men in the
group took equipment and hurried
to the school. Using a fire exting
uisher and water, they quickly put
out the fire, then worked for some
time halt
bers, Those in the group were Mr.
Huebert, Alvin Eitzen. Jacob Hoff
man and John, Alvin and Otto Klie
wer. Other neighbors arrived soon
after to help.
The fire started near the fur
nace but it was not determined what
was the exact cause, since Stelzer
had banked the fire before going to
bed.

Cattle producers should remember i
that ringworm of cattle, due to a
fungus, can be spread to other
cattle, and to human beings as well. '
Veterinary authorities point out that
it also spreads to pigs.
Recent veterinary research shows
that in many .farming localities, 50
percent of adult poultry flocks are
tuberculosis carriers. This is why it
pays to dispose of over-age hens.
