Guadalcanal Native
Writes Laurel Friend
For Needed Calendar
A Guadalcanal native is badly in
need of a 1946 calendar, and has
written a request for one to Set.
Thomas Schessler, who is on his
way home but has not yet arrived
here. Apparently the writer is one
of the natives Schessler knew on the
island.
The letter indicates several things,
one being that missionaries have
been working a long time in the
islands that were little known by
most white people until the war
focused attention on them. The
missionaries taught Christianity, the
English language and social polite
ness.
Accompanying the native's note
was a brief letter from Tech. 4 John
Arnolfo, dated Jan. 21, who said:
"One of the Guadalcanal natives
gave me the enclosed note and ask
ed me to mail it to you. I don't
know you and I don't know the
native, but there's one thing I do
know: this native wants a calender
bad, so you better send it to him.
With all the blessings that he has
sent you I think he deserves a cal
endar. What do you think?"
The native apparently had writ
ten his note Jan. 1. His spelling
reflects the way he says the Eng
lish words, as wall as the kind of
idiom he and his fellows have de
veloped.
The request is as follows: "Dear
sir, my frintly Thomas E. Sches
sler. Just little note to you. I ask
you my calendar. You say by by
you give me one good calendar.
Now' me ask you again because I
have neet very much for this year.
May the Lord add his reach bias
sing on you and our Christian
Brother at home or where ever they
are. From your brother in Christ,
Nicolas Kaxnboe."

WHILE WASHINGTON MONUMENT . . . will be 61 years old February
21, congress was asked 102 years before that date to erect a suitable
national memorial to the nation's first President. The finished structure
cost 81,200,000. The shaft rises 555 feet, 514 inches. The exterior walls
are Maryland marble, backed with granite. When President Chester Ar

world of their steadfast faith in the principles of the republic's founders."

workers are continually being pre
pared by training. The department's
job is to feed large numbers of peo
pie, such as the victims of a flood,
! fire or other disaster.
When the county chapter saw it
would not be required to furnish a
canteen for a military post, it
opened a canteen near the Billings
railroad depot, to which came thous
ands of service men while waiting
; to resume their journeys.
A popular item at the canteen
was homemade cookies, and Laurel
) ladies were asked to make 20 to 25
dozen each week. It was quite an
order, but it was filled 62 times a
year for four vears. At first the
L-aâï
j g an i zat ions of the city were en
i ist ed.
j When Christmas was approaching,
the Laurel ladies contrived to get
Inn-other about 825 with which to
buv Christmas gifts for the service
; nien who would be calling at the
canteen on Christmas day. There
| also were boxes of apples and
[oranges.
I Throughout the war the boys
liked the canteen and flocked there
in great droves wh«n they got offj
the trains. Mrs. Craig Rothwell,|
for several years a resident of Lau
\ rc I, became a volunteer worker at
the canteen after she moved to Bil
I lings. She and Mrs. Mildred Sheets,
; who also assisted, tell of the great
appreciation the boys had for the
comforts and home cooked food the
canteen provided.
Th p coo kies required sugar,
shortening, flour and other ingred
ients. At first the ladies donated
the sugar, but during the last year
J the Red Cross chapter was able to
provide that critical item. How
ever, most of the other materials
were contributed by the ladies who
made the cookies.
When the canteen in Billings sus
pended recently, Mrs. G. E. Samel
wrote a letter of appreciation for
the assistance rendered from Lau
rel. Addressed to Mrs. D. H. Mc
Cauley, the letter said:
"I want to take this opportunity
of thanking the ladies of Laurel
who so kindly provided our canteen '
with cookies during these four years
of our operation.
"A vote of thanks goes to the
ladies who were in charge of this
project.
"We always looked forward to
Friday when the Laurel cookies ar
rived.
"Thank you verv much, ladies.
It's a task well done.
"Sincerely, Mrs. G. E. Samel."

LIQUID FUEL FROM
STATE COAL BEDS
Montana Said To Have Enough
To Supply Nation For
Next 400 Years
One hundred thousand three
colored Montana mining maps de
signed to provide a wide acquaint
ance with the state's mineral re
sources have been made available
by Montanans, Incorporated, the
state chamber of commerce.
Distribution, which is free, is to
interested parties within and out
side the state, with the object of
increasing interest in Montana's
vast mineral resources, officials of
Montanans, Incorporated, said.
Text on the cover of the map,
which was reproduced from an ori
ginal by the U. S. Bureau of Mines,
reviews Montana's pioneer mining
activities.
The map shows, among other
things, that not a single county in
Montana is without mineralization.
The occurence of 52 metallic and
non-metallis minerals are indicated.
Of special interest is the fact that
reserves of lignite and sub-bitumin
ous coal in Montana are estimated
at over four hundred billion tons.
Research is now being carried on
to determine the feasibility of ex
tracting fuel from coal. Montana's
reserves if converted to liquid fuel
could supply the United States with
gasoline for over four hundred
years at the present rate of con
sumption.

Samples of seed may be sent to

in any one year are tested free.
labels for both mixed and unmixed
seed are on hand and may be or
