LAUREL OUTLOOK OfficiaI Paper of Yellowstone County LAUREL, MONTANA, WEDNESDAY. APRIL 26, 1944 FIVE CENTS VOLUME 35—NO. 43 MARINES ASK füll 90 DOGS or MR Need Dobernian-Pinchers Or German Shepherds, 27 Inches Tall, Weighing 70 Pounds An appeal for 90 war dogs by May 31 has been issued by the marine corps. The fighting dogs already have proved their worth on Guadalcanal, on Bougainville and at many be hind-the-front shore stations, and more are urgently needed for future fighting in the Pacific. They are trained primarily for scout, messenger and sentry duties, and sometimes also are used to guide first aid units to wounded marines and to carry ammunition. The first dog platoon, comprising veterans of the Bougainville and Guadalcanal campaigns, saved many marine lives, won commendations from marine commanders and suf fered its share of casualties. Dogs needed must be male Dober man-Pinschers, or German shep herds in limited numbers. They must be about 27 inches tall and weigh about 70 pounds. They should be from two to four years of age, of clean blood lines, alert, healthy, aggressive but not vicious. The dogs offered are first ex amined to determine if they meet the requirements, then are shipped to Camp Lejeune, N. C., for an in tensive 12-week training and battle conditioning course. Dog owners willing to donate their pets to the marines for the duration should write or telegraph to "Marine War Dogs, Headquar ters, U. S. Marine Corps, Washing ton, D.

His topic was "Free Enterprise." The legislator said that in his! opinion, free enterprise as has,' been practiced in America from the! days of early settlement to the present, now "hangs in jeopardy more than any other enterprise." His definition of freedom of enter prise was "the right of a young man to start with a shoestring and an idea, and run it into a fortune." Trouble and fear of want, he said, motivating conditions' existing O'Connor, Fromberg, Speaker Of House Of Representatives, Addresses Rotaiy Club were at the settlement of Atlantic coast areas, and progressively extended across the continent as settlements moved westward to the Pacific. As an example of fortitude, daring and hardy determination he cited the life experience of his own father, who came to this region many years ago and after great expenditure of time and energy succeeded in bring ing irrigation water to land he had selected. His father, O'Connor said, was one of thousands of similar ex amples. The speaker repeatedly stated that he did not sanction "placing a curb on enterprise that has been the means of making this

a great country: As to Americans' reputation for making money, O'Connor expressed the opinion that "the dollar is a symbol of personal progress rather than a means to an end." Concern ing large fortunes, or the acquire ment of more wealth through en terprise than the amasser can spend in a lifetime, the speaker viewed the process as excess production that rebounds to the benefit of others not so enterprising. As he put it, "Excess is producing for someone else," and that big produc ers have "contributed to society by making more than they needed. He contrasted this to a system of agricultural and industrial restric tions and regulations and the policy of "my brother is my keeper. In conclusion, the legislator chal lenged the soundness of govern mental paternalism and urban and rural reliefs. "There should be no restriction on ability to produce. It's the amount produced and con tributed to society" which consti tutes the benefit of free enterprise. The speaker was introduced by O. M. Wold, program committeeman for April.

Phone 8501 Billings, Mont. Letters From Our Boys Louis J. Heins, warrant officer, wrote from England to his wife and said he had received an Outlook dated in February. He likes Eng land and says the country is much like California, but he would pre fer to be home. Pvt. D. E. Ranger, Camp Mc Quaide, Calif., April 19: I am writing to thank you for the Outlook, and to thank all who make it possible for the boys in the service to receive the paper, I received the first copy yester Since then I day at mail call, have read it through several times. I cannot tell you how much I ap preciate receiving news concerning those I went to school and grew up with. Everything here is fine; I really like California. I am doing town patrol, which keeps me quite busy (mostly shining equipment). When I get to thinking about home and those I used to know there, I wonder where and how all of them are. Boys" has let me know about some; I anxiously look forward to the column next week. There are a number of Montana boys here, and they all derive pleas ure from reading the Outlook. 'Letters from Our Pvt. David E. Milligan, Dalhart, Tex., April 17: I have waited until now to give my new, "settled" address. Since I returned from my delà;' en route I have done a considerable amount of traveling. At first I went to Tullahoma, Tenn., where I spent 13 days and was put on orders to ship to Woodard, Okla. I was assigned to the bomber squadron. Here we met other squadrons that make up the -fighter group. We figured that now was our chance to do something. It turned out we were going to do something all right, but not what we wanted. We were told that we were to be a base unit and our duties from then on would be that of training fighter bomber pilots. Then we transfer red here and have set up base or ganization, giving pilots their aerial gunnery training. This is one part of Texas I hope I never see again, once I leave. The wind has been blowing constantly the past week. Here, instead of wearing a gas mask as a protec tion against poisonous gases, one wears it for protection against wind and dust. Lights will be out soon, so thanks again for your kindness. fighter Pvt. L. A. DeFrance, Pacific, April 17, by V-mail: There is no doubt but that this letter is long over due. I have received only three Out looks since I arrived overseas Jan. 25, but all three were greatly ap I preciated and very welcome, doubt the others will catch up with me soon, as we are now settled in one spot for awhile. I have contacted a couple of fel lows with whom 1 went through basic and have written to Burt Kucera, who is a short way from here. I may be able to see him. He will be the second Montana boy I have seen in three months. They are very rare down here. My regards to all my Laurel friends, and thanks so much for the Outlook. N h The Laurel Outlook acknowledges with thanks the receipt of a V-maii Easter greeting card from Pvt. Lyle W. Fuller of the Persian gulf command, Iran. An appropriate de sign had been drawn or printed on a regular V-mail letter sheet. The artist evidently was W. R. Hering.

Paivt Fights Germs While paint in general long has been demonstrated to be a discour ager of germs by sealing pores in surfaces in which they might take harborage, and by rendering the surfaces easy to sterilize or clean, the English trade journal "Paint" reports that two English paint spe cialists have discovered that a paint based on a combination of phenol formaldehyde resin with a very high percentage of polymerized tung oil produced a medium which inhibited the growth of mr>?t bacteria even after the film had been dried for six months.

CONSTIPATION "I am a young man and nat urally strong and healthy, but for about four years have had an awful time with nervous indi gestion, constipation and pleur isy. I always had a bad taste in my mouth, and was constipated and tired all the time. In fact I simply felt rotten. I tried lots of medicine recommended by friends and others but nothing seemed to give me relief. From time to time I would read of others with similar troubles get ting wonderful relief by taking Wong Sun's Chinese Herbs, so I thought if it helped them, why not me? I went to see Wong Sun and started taking his Chi nese Herbs. I started feeling better right away, my stomach stopped bloating and aching, my appetite has improved, I sleep better and, in fact, I am be ginning to feel my old self again.

LAUREL OUTLOOK Published Every Wednesday at Laurel, Montana, by JOSEPH GEHRETT CAMPBELL CALVERT Subscription $2.00 Per Annum In Advance Entered as Second-class Matter July 14, 1909, at the postoffice at Laurel, Mont., under act of March 3, 1879. INVASION TIMING In the midst of the babble of speculation as to the timing the second front, it may occur to some guessers that no v e knows the day and the hour and that no one will know i til General Eisenhower gives the word says the Independent ,'cord. The commander of a theatre of war has a grasp of detail o ihrmoonrl 1 au a l,u ani l :at can be attained by no one else, feild one things that must be right before the invasion signal given. Quite possibly it was determined long ago that the j ivasion must occur at a certain season of the year to take dvantage of conditions of weather and terrain. But no one an know the predawn darkness into which the cross-channel j hips will be launched until the commander is satisfied that i.Il the necessary preparations have been made. It is a heavy responsibility which rests upon the shoulders of the man who will head the Allied invasion. In warfare the first effective punch goes a long way toward assuring the success of an undertaking. As any fighter will testify, timing has much to do with the effect of a punch. It is Eisenhower alone who will be the judge of the timing and all the current guessing is essentially an attempt to read his mind. FINE PROPAGANDA AMMUNITION Disclosures about the fortunes salted away outside Ger many by the top-flight Nazis should be the most valuable kind of information for the men in charge of propaganda warfare. Imagine the effect on Hans Schmidt, resident of Augs burg or Oberpfoffenhofen, as he steps out of the shelter after a devastating air raid and picks up a leaflet presenting evid ence that Reichsmarshal Goering has $3,575,000 worth of cash and securities hidden abroad, and $4,000,000 worth of foreign life-insurance policies; that Dr. Goebbels has more than that, including $1,850,000 in American currency in a Buenos Aires safe-deposit vault; that Ribbentrop and Himmler and Hess and Ley also have hidden fortunes in foreign countries. These are the men who harangue the German people early and late to have faith; to sacrifice and die for the Nazis. The new facts about them show they have neither faith nor willingness to sacrifice. Let's hope our warriors of the propaganda leaflet and the German-language broadcast are making full use of this won derful opportunity.—St. Louis Post-Dispatch. Wartime Montana Volunteer Workers Assisting the office of price ad ministration in its wartime job of keeping down living costs and rationing in Montana, are 679 vol- I unteer workers serving as board and panel members of the 81 war j price and rationing boards through- out the state.

In 1939, a dry spring, more than 125,000 acres of beets in Great West ern territory were irrigated up. Those irrigated early yielded 1.65 tons more per acre than the fields irrigated for germination two weeks later. At this year's price for beets this increase in yield would pay the grow er over $20.00 per acre for an irriga tion given now. In addition to this the country pro fits from an added 450 pounds of sugar from each acre. Water put on the fields now fills the soil reservoir and saves water that is flowing down the river. Beet labor can be used to better ad vantage. The early fields will be thinned before the rush develops. Can you afford to delay irrigating for germination?

New Ray Shows Up Peroxide Blondes

r But a Lot of Mire 1 kings May Come of It

ST. LOUIS.—Dr. Lamar Kishlar is a neat, bespectacled, mustached scientist. He was having a lot of fun with a new black ray of light that brings out the best in interior decorating and the worst in women. Dr. Kishlar is the research man ager of a livestock feed company which also dabbles in breakfast food. Dr. Kishlar dabbles in many things, including how to make a peroxide blonde's hair turn green and false teeth show up as phonies with a little beam of light that you can't see. The black ray is a variation of the ultra-violet ray. Dr. Kishlar thinks that it is going to throw light on a number of things in the future. "One wave-length will produce a nice suntan, without inflaming the more tender areas," Kishlar ex plained. "Another wavelength will tenderize any cut of beef. Still an other will sterilize an ice-box, or if you want to go into it wholesale, an entire hospital." I Kishlar's interest in his invisible ray is chiefly in its effect on food, but it includes its possibilities in in tenor decoration. People, fabrics, rubies and vitamins glow fluores cently under the ray. Any girl is a glow girl. "Take, for instance, a cocktail lounge," said Kishlar. "A hidden ray will make carpets, tablecloths, napkins and cocktail glasses shine —but there will be only a discreet suggestion of actual illumination." The female customers will shine no matter how dull. Their teeth, eyes fingernails, rubies and dia monds will gleam. The girl with sound teeth who drinks milk and gets plenty of calcium will look like a super-dental ad, but the girl whose teeth came from the dentist's had better inquire about the lighting before entering the bar of tomorrow. False teeth look black under Kishlar's revealing little ray. Peroxided hair may turn a ghastly Potato Is Not Fattening green under the ray. U. S.

P.S Ä Toa^puV/ SÎ around, the department wants it known that; The caloric content of a "fair sized" Irish potato is about the same as a large orange, a large apple, four average size prunes, a a cup of whole milk.

Camp Gordon, Fla. amphibious tank at Camp Gordon, Johnston, Fla. Newspaper men touring southeastern camps ride EUROPE: Unending Raids An unending procession of U. S. and British bombers soared over western Europe blasting the inva sion path, while in the Balkans to the southeast, Axis forces went over to the attack to shore up the Rus sians' drive on Rumania and Hun gary. Big bombers, medium bombers and strafing fighter planes all par ticipated in the Allied aerial attacks an France, the Lowlands and Ger many, with rail communications leading to the invasion coast and airports and aircraft factories the principal targets. In one 36-hour pe riod alone, Allied aviators made no iess than 6,000 individual flights over the west. Axis counterattacks in the Bal kans took form as the Russians ad vanced on Carpathian mountain passes leading into the rolling Hun garian plains, and other Red forces threatened the rich Rumanian oil fields around Ploesti. In the Crimean peninsula jutting into the Black sea, Russian forces laid siege to the big naval base of Sevastopol, where Axis troops flocked after a lengthy retreat. Demand Loyalty As western Europe crackled under the Allies' savage bombing offensive to clear the inva sion path, Nazi No. M 2 Hermann Goering É and Nazi No. 3 W Joseph Goebbels p used Hitler's 55th i birthday to loudly y appeal to the Ger- man people for un- B questioned loyalty I during the hectic period to follow. Said Goering: "A thousand dangers may lie ahead New anxieties and burdens may prove inevitable No sacrifice and no privation should be too great to make for Germany Our gift to the fuehrer is our vow not to lay down arms until we have assured the Reich's future." W ■M Hermann Goering Said Goebbels: Even the greatest loaders of history will be faced with occasional setbacks and defeats It will not bo possible to form an accurate and just idea of the individual war events and factors which have been decisive in the war until the war is oyer So him hrü^lfthp ctnr d mî n f Ï h through all the storms of war. FOREIGN HOLDINGS: V. S. Stake After a canvass of more than 200,000 individuals, estates and trusts, and 16,000 business firms, the U. S. Treasury established Ameri can holdings in more than 50 foreign countries at $13,300,000,000. Although two-thirds of the hold ings of household goods, bonds and factories are in Allied or friendly nations, U. S. national's stake in Axis or occupied countries totals $3,775,000,000, of which $1.290,000.000 is in Germany, $265,000,000 in Italy, $90,000,000 in Japan, $65,000,000 in Rumania and $55,000,000 in Hun gary. By far the largest U. S. invest ments are in Canada, aggregating $4,375,000,000 and holdings in Great Britain total $1,030,000,000. Invest ments in Cuba amount to $785,000, 000; Mexico, $420,000,000; Argentina, and Brazil, $330,000,000. HIGHLIGHTS in th week's news PROFITS: The meat packing in dustry had a net income of only 1.1 per cent on sales in 1943, the lowest for any major manufacturing indus try, the American Meat institute re ports. BANANAS: Shortage of shipping between South American and United States ports is seriously handicap ping importation of bananas, trade officials say. MANPOWER: Biggest Problem During 1944, manpower and not material will constitute the biggest obstacles to resumption of the pro duction of civilian goods, the War Production board's planning and statistical chief, Stacy May, re vealed. Although reductions in certain munitions programs may reach con siderable proportions toward the end of 1944, the question of converting facilities to the manufacture of civil ian goods will revolve around the army's call for manpower for casu alty replacements, May said. Be cause of declines in construction em ployment and increasing efficiency in factories, however, more work ers may be made available for con sumer goods, May declared. Sufficient steel, aluminum and copper probably could be obtained for civilian production later in the year. May said, but shortages of necessary parts or accessories might form serious bottlenecks. While the bombers whacked at this treasure-house of natural re sources which have fed the Japs' PACIFIC: Raid Treasure-House Storehouse for Japanese oil, tin and rubber, the Dutch East Indies were hit by British bombers for the first time in nearly a year and a half, with docks, warehouses and shipping left in flames in the north ern end of the islands. industrial sinews of war, British and Indian troops continued their des perate defense of the Bengal-Assam railroad in eastern India, feeding U. S. and Chinese forces hacking out a supply road to China in north ern Burma. In the South Pacific area, U. S. army and navy bombers teamed up .0 plaster the L£ fhe enemy s principal Asiatic i niâmes AGRICULTURE: Because of the necessity of step ping up production of landing barges and other invasion craft demanding critical material, farm machinery output this year may not reach ex pected levels. War Food Adminis trator Marvin Jones revealed. Although too early to make pre dictions Joncs said machinery out pUt sh uId exceed 1940 fi S ures None has been a i locate d to the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation administration or for export, he sa i di Machinery As of April 1, Jones revealed, ma chinery production totaled 36,000 combines, 9,000 balers, 23,000 side rakes, 44,000 spreaders, 121.000 trac tors and 15,000 cornpickers. Labor At a time when Selective Service was tightening up on farm defer ments, the U. S. department of agri culture reported that farm workers as of April 1 totaled 9.080,000, or about 228.000 less than a year ago. With a better organized farm la bor program and seasonal help from volunteer workers, however, the USDA expected rural America to meet this year's expanded food goals despite the inroads into help. Although only 2 per cent lower than April, 1943, the farm labor supply was 54 per cent of the pre the USDA declared. HERO: In a curious case of a marine hero, who is also a deserter from the marines and the army, First Class Private William B. Mur phee of Tennessee left the army after nearly six years of service and then joined the marines to win the navy cross as a member of Carl son's Raiders. Walking away from a marine hospital, he was later de tained and held for discipline. GOP: Keynoter Named Selection of Gov. Earl Warren of California as opening speaker j keynoter, at the Republican national convention in Chicago, June 24, has i served to modulate the extreme i tionalist and internationalist ele I ments in.the party. Brawny, 6-foot Governor Warren, j who first jumped into the political j spotlight on the west coast through his racket-busting, stands by the GOP's Mackinac declaration on for eign policy, stressing international cooperation with other nations with out impairing U. S. sovereignty. Said Warren: "As Republicans, we must avoid discord that would interfere with our displacing the White House palace guard with an administration more competent to win the war and solve our postwar problems, domestic and foreign. or na LEND-LEASE: Extension Debated With congress considering exten sion of lend-lease until June 30, 1945, debate centered around subjecting the President's final settlements with foreign recipients to legislative scrutiny. Under terms of the lend-lease measure, the President had sole authority to make final settlements, but in extending the act to 1945, the house wrote in an amendment which prohibits him from negotiating final settlements involving international committments without congression al approval. During the course of house de bate on the new measure which was sent to the senate by a 334 to 21 vote, the majority killed Republi can efforts to compel foreign na tions to return lend-lease munitions to the U. S. after the war. TELEFACT OUTPUT PER U.
