EVER-PRESENT SHADOW
There are few people in this country who don't
have to worry about fire. If, for instance, you live in
an abode house in the middle of a barren desert, fire
holds few hazards for you.
But for 999 people out of each 1,000, fire is a
very real problem. It is an ever-present problem—
fire doesn’t inform you in advance where or when it
will 1 strike. The shadow of fire lurks over every
home and every factory, 24 hours day, 365 days a
year.
Fortunately for our well-being and peace of
mind, that shadow can be dissipated 1 to a very great
extent. In home or business, a small list of simple
precautions will clip most of fire’s claws. Heating
plants, for instance, are among the most prolific
cases of fire. Your town Ihas an expert mechanic
who can examine yours and make certain it is safe
and efficient. Exposed electric wiring is still an
other major hazard—and again an expert mechanic,
through periodic check-ups, can make it safe. Im
proper storage of paints, cleaning fluids and other
flamable,s is a third great hazard — hazards which
will disappear if you see to it that the liquids are kept
in covered, air-tight metal containers. Accumula
tions of papers, magazines, old clothes and similar
junk, is a fourth hazard—all you have to db is call the
rags-bottles-and-sacks vendor.
If you live in the desert far from other habita
tion, in a mud house, and depend on sun for heat,
don’t worry about fire. But if you live elsewhere,
Start to work banishing hazards now.
And let us make it a good start by hepling elim
inate those fires, by remembering the Fireman’s Ball
this next Saturday evening at the High School Gym
nasium. The Fire Laddies are always on call, whether
the weather is balmy or blizzard, to db their best to
safeguard our homes and possessions.
Attend the Ball—or at least buy a ticket I
When a man is really in love, he imagines that
he neither sleeps nor eats.
Some men never give religion a thought until
they are sick in bed.
When a load of coal is purchased instead of
going to the buyer it usually goes to the cellar.

Daily -e near abo-.t the de
fense be ■ and what’s going tc
happen al -waru. .There is nc
question ati L our havi-.g a huge
task of readj tmen* ahead at us,
but there «• “»
many factor ’
wjiich will make
this a different
pr o b 1-e m than
ever before.
Before long we
will be in the
midst of feeding
Europe. In Great
Britain the food
situation at pres
ent is just as dif
ficult as in the
Lj * v i
jL 4
Kye*
gloomiest days of 1917. Female
labor and equipment from Amer
ica is the immediate hope, but
beyond this our food supplies will
be utilized to feed the British.
Then comes continental Europe
and its starving victims. This
will quickly wipe out the sur
oluses and take much of the pri
mary food supply of the Unitec
States.
The industrial requirements o
ue'ense will be eclipsed by the
agricultural demands that will i:
-laced upon this country. 0..
larms will have to be mob:!!.',
lust as we are attempting to <
vith our factories. Farm ceuir
rnent will be just as scarce con
naratively as machine tools a .
coduction equipment are tcj.
Farm labor will become rr
difficult to get as we progress -,...
his program.
There are many who are r'
ready worrying about whai s ;
mg to happen when the deto,
program is over. They visual.,
idle machinery, surplus plant c.
pacity and men without jobs. A:
tually, we are extending this 1 .
ticnal defense program under vs
different conditions than at
which this nation has ever four
itself in before. American in . .
try has been iitcraliy stagnant 2 .
several years. Had there teen
defense progir.m, it would hav
taken several years to replace 1
wornout machinery * and pl >
equipment. United States of 1940,
is a whole, was only a shell, in
iustrially speaking. V The depres
;ion and subsequent years robbed
js of most of our industrial pow
er. Corporate capital was largely
wiped out during the depression,
in the cases where it was reduced
to an unhealthy state, the drain of
social legislation made profit im
possible. The result was no new
nachinery. Goods were produced
on old machinery. Time aftei
time, repairs were made.
The manpower problem has
been even more grave. Industry
only gambles on new and un
trained manpower when it has
surplus funds with which to take
a chance on the untrained becom
ing valuable, or working for the
same company after the training
s completed. The result has been
r bankruptcy of manpower. Good
-nen are extremely scarce from
tommon labor to management.
S’ever in the history of this coun
ty has there been such a short
age of good men who can be rc
ied upon to take responsible posi
tions in industry. As a whole,
the manpower available today
lacks the necessary training in
business methods and production
iperations.
If we are to face die fact;
squarely, the United States is just
is short of men and machines lot
ndustrial power as it is planes
ind pilots for air power. This
•ountry must turn to men whe
.now business. Industry, despite
nifavorable legislation and at
acks from every side during the
last several years, has again re
urned to its rightfully important
place in our economy. With agri
-ulture, industry occupies the
front rank of democracy. The hope
>f democracy for today and the
jqtuie lies w the abilities of men
>f industry. If they can create
In in -d manpower and produce
pic machinery necessary, we neea
lav? no fears. .
After the necessities of defense
'me been taken care of, we will
ourselves with industrial
. n.power retrained and adequate
:.w.- in machinery to take care
pf peacetime requirements with
big! r efli.iency. This producinc
po-.w r will not only produce ne
ics, bi t will also return tc

Civil Service Wants

Mr. A. J. Fey, Manager of the
Glasgow Employment Office, has
just received the following in
formation:
“The Montana State Employ
ment Service announces that lit

for 10 ship electricians, 15 out
side machinists, and 30 sheet
metal worker for immediate ser
vice at the Navy Yard at Brem

These positions are with the
Government under Civil Service
regulations, but flor these orders

THE FORGOTTEN MAN
UNCLE SAM., M .D.
DOWN TO JERICHO
BETTER THAN DEATH
WHAT’S STOPPING IT?
Jt has aiways been -a source of
some spe-culdAion how it came
that the “Gcod Samaritan" got
so much publicity and front
page stuff, while the “man who
nent to Jeridho land fell among
ueives’ is” -practically left the
fongOt-hth man. As a victim, the
unknown lone took an awful
beating, ’besides losing all of his
miazurnia. Nowadays the candid
camera would have him in the
headlines, with all the bandages
Showing and with an “X” mark
ing itihie sprit on the road where
the thievi:is -got to him. If any
mention was made of tihe passer
by who picked (him up and rush
ed him to the hospital, it would
be covered in three lines of small
orint ait the end of the story.
Nowadays the Good Samaritan
is played down, definitely.
Why revert to this old story
and what has lit to do with co
operation -and the Farmers
Union? You’d foe surprised. Did
you ever think of the farmer as
the man who fell among thieves
and who (has b:len manhandled,
maimed and left near dead on the
highways of this nation? Did it
ever occur to you that the Good
Samaritan might be the United
States Government? Few ever
hear of the! farmer and his
plight—(but everybody knows
the United States Government.
So what? Along comes the
United States Government and
sees the ifarmer stripped, beaten
and despoiled and it says: “My. 1
my, this will never do,” or words
to that effect Right away Uncle
Sam turns out to be the Good
Samaritan. He has a dozen ways
of fixiing up the victim of thieves
H]d passes him some money, par
ity and conservation cash, which
he uses as first aid bandages to
stop the gaping wbunds. He pro
duces some F. S. A. salve and
some F. C. A. liniment and
touches up the numerous ’bumps
and bruises. Uncle Sam is a
pretty gooy hand at this Boy
Scout stuff—evletn the AMA wall
admit that!
•* * ♦
The result is that tire farmer,
bruised and -beaten as he is, has
been pretty well restored and is
actually able to go on down the
road under his own powter. But
bnly for a time. He is still travel
ing the same road “down to Jer
icho” and the same thieves who
robbed him and beat him up are
waiting in the bushes, down the
road a pieoef, to make another
haul. As soon as he shows up,
they’re on that farmer like a
coyote on a sick calf. First thing

the farmer knows he is once'
more stripped, beaten and left
for deed. And the worst of it is
tl-rtre is no Good Samaritan
around to pick him up and
•-ustle him off to s hospital.
Don’t be so finicky! You ’say a
hospital is not an inn. Yeah, but
—tne first imeming of hospital
a -place -for guests, a hostel,
from the Latin "hospes", mean
ing a guest
Our Good Samaritan, Uncle
” m, has done quite a little for
the farmer. He has doctered and
.japed him no end. But no sooner
does the farmer begin to feel a
bit better than down come the
tnuc-ves again and knock him for
another naw of -ashoans. What’s
wrong? The health of the farmer
ary his family depends on some
thing more than Crop ’ Insurance
•pills and Creo Loan capsules. He
needs food strong in vitamins—
something to build him up and
keep him that way. He must
have the one thing necessary to
life—a means of Living. That is,
an income sufficient to ktiep
blood in his veins. M. W. That
cher made a crack,the other day,
taikiing on this subject, that
stuck. He said “malnutrition is
better than death”. The farmer
now is suffering from malnutri
tion. He is not dead yeit, but he
has lost a lot of blood,
•• • •
Now the Good Samaritan,
Uncle Sam., came to the aid of
the banks wh:tn they were broke
to the aid of the railroads when
they were going under for the
third time and to every battered
big business he lent a helping
hand. He did the right thing by
Our Nell. But he did not go that
length -with the farmers. That’s
why the Farmers Union is ask
ing to ’be put on a par with the
( others. That’s why it lis asking
for a certain income through the
Income Certificate plan. Thai’s
। why it is asking that the farm
debts ibe adjusted—so the- farmer
I won’t fall among . thieves again.
’ Is it ridiculous to ask that? Pres
ident Roosevelt doesn’t think so.
He has told Bill Thatcher and
and Jim Patton thalt he is for
that sort of real and permanent
[aid to agriculture. What’s stap
. ping dt? Just at thiei moment Oon
[■gress is busy on the Lease-Lend
bill. After that, the farmer has
ihis innings.
