It is this increased income that makes it possible for you to save more than you ever saved before. WHY SAVE? Some ask. AREN’T GOOD TIMES HERE TO STAY? It’s a strange fact about humaai nature that people always think: “This time it’s different.” In the twen ties people said, “Hard times are gone forever.’ Later, in the thirties, the same people said, “We’ll never see the good old days again.” And now we are hearing the familiar “prosperity forever” tune once more. Maybe times will continue good indefinitely. We hope so, but we will say, “Save all you can in 1947.” FIRST STATE BANK WOLF POINT, MONTANA MEMBER FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION Visit the NORTH SIDE BAR - LOUNGE —and— CAFE Specializing in Your Favorite Drink Hamburgers by the Bag ARTHUR GARWOOD, Proprietor -if w^sis^^?Z^BMß6M^® ^ragg^s** jj®^ ^^>°\ Coo^^^ YXeO'j^S^^ - Now, America's No. 1 Sool Destroyer can be added to the L*^**’^ fuel in your supply tank tv give you ....

HARTZ —PROPS.— HENRY HAMILL —Advertisement — Catholics Say RELIGIOUS MEDALS AND SUPERSTITION YOU MAY HAVE seen a Cath olic basketball player, a religious medal jiggling around his neck. You may know a Catholic friend who keeps a St. Christopher medal fixed to the dash board of his car. You may have met a Catholic woman who carries a medal in her purse. Perhaps you concluded from these examples that Catholics are superstitious. Is this true? A superstitious person believes that extraordinary effects can be brought about by inadequate causes. The man who shuns a banquet because thirteen people are invited is superstitious. He thinks some untold event will mar his happiness because of a mere number—thirteen. The same is true of the woman who takes a round about way to keep a black cat from crossing her path. It is im possible that a mere number or the passing of a cat can affect future happenings in the life of anyone. In the same way, people who believe that a horseshoe or four leaf clover or rabbit’s foot will bring them some blessing are su perstitious. Such trifles cannot possibly have a bearing on our future life in any way whatever. Catholic medals are metal discs. As such, they cannot influence human life for good or ill. To say so would make Catholics guilty of superstition. But Catholic medals are more than metal discs. They have on them some appropriate religious effigy, device or inscription. Fre quently they portray the Mother of Christ or Christ Himself. It is Complete With Fittings— Easy To Install!

By wearing a medal a Cath olic shows honor and love to the saints of God. Catholics believe that they may be benefltted, too. by keeping such medals on their person or in their home. But they do not think that the benefits come from the medal Itself. They come from their own piety in carrying about the medal and from the Church’s prayer in blessing it If you would like more informa tion on what Catholics Say on this or any other topic, please write to: CATHOLICS SAY c/o Saint Mary College Xavier, Kansas Veterans of Foreign Wars *• Meetings every second and fourth Monday of each month.
