BORN FREE BUT NOT EQUAL
All men are born free but not'
equal--not equal as to tale,t or
opportunity. According to Biblical
parable talents range from one to
ten. As to opportunity, perhaps
the same ratio obtains.
Such a condition seems to be
divinely appointed. Drawers of
water and hewers of wood are as
necessary as architects and states-
men and likely there would be none
of the first named if talents and
opportunity were the same.
In a structure there are large
timbers and small ones. There are
rough pieces and finished ones.
Some of the parts of the structure
support, while some ornament. All
are necesssary for its completion,
and if all were of equal size the
building would not be possible.
Neither sociology nor legislation
changes the status. The one-
talented fellow has his niche and
responsibility just as does his ten-
talent neighbor. "Destiny is bound
up with duty. Use or lose, do or
die, invest or be divested. These
are our only alternatives. "Brighten
the corner where you are."
Africa Veterans
Go to Britain
For Invasion
A group of infantry soldiers, all
of whom have seen action in the
most important battles in North
Africa, have arrived in England to
help train troops preparing for
the invasion of Occupied Europe.
Many of the men participated
~n the initial landings ih Novem-
ber, 1942, and fought for the
beaches, airfields, strategic heights
and old forts in Morocco and
Algeria. Later, many of the dough-
boys saw their first action against
the Germans in Tunisia.
In the Maknassy campaign the
Americans were confronted with
superb defensive positions of the
enemy installed in heights. Artil-
lery pieces including 88-mm. ~and
210-ram. pieces, mortars and n~-
!chine guns covered the wadis and
draws in the barren fiats oecupied
by American units.
For two weeks the men attacked
repeatedly, repulsed several cotuf-
terattacks, kept the Germans under
constant surveillance and denied
them valuable observation points.
These soldiers were among those
who forced the enemy to bring up
many truck loads of reserves from
the Afrika Korps, accomplishing its
mission of drawing strength from
the Nazis when they could least
afford it.
Last April and May, these same
American infantrymen ripped
through the tortuous matted vege-
tation of the Sedjanane Valley
djebeis in Tunisia,' killing, capturing
and unceasingly pushing the enemy
out of the hills guarding Bizerte.
Other of the men were in action
at Paid Pass, Ks~tserine Pass, E1
Guettar, Ferryville and el~where.
At the conclusion of the Tunisian
campaign, many of these soldiers
paraded before King George VI
and Lt. Gen. Mark W. Clark.
Pvt. Lloyd O. Weinreis of Golva
is one of the group who par-
ticipated.

INFLATION, THE BOGEY MAN
The threat of inflation is being
used as a bogey man to induce
nation to accept ~.0~;~1 reform,
regimentation, limitation of oppor-
tunity and incentive. Before the
r war ends, it will be used to hide
social economic mistakes and to
conceal from the public the sad
state of economic affairs into which
the nation has been thrown.
Inflation comes when there is too
much money and too few things
to buy. High prices result from
Inflation~theY are not the cause.
Inflation is avoided, or remedied
by increased production~not by
regulation. To date, our govern-
ment has done much to promote
inflation, including propagandtzl~
OUR DEMOCRACY
ABRAHAM LINCOLN,
OPA Tightens
Regulations on
i Car, Truck Sales
The State Motor Vehicle Depart-
ment is working closely with the
Office of Price Administration to
tighten up indiscriminate exchange
of gasoline rations between buyers
and sellers of new and used trucks
and automobiles.
Any person who sells a new or
used automobile or truck must
turn in his gasoline rations to his
local War Price and Rationing
Board, at which time he will re-
ceive two.copies of rationing form
number R-569, which he will sur-
render to the buyer of the vehicle.
One copy of the~ form must ac-
company the buyer's application for
title and license 'from the State
Motor Vehicle Department, and the
other copy will be surrendered to
the local war price and rationing
board when the buyer applies for
gasoline rations for the newly
purchased vehicle.
Thousands of applications for li-
censes during January were re-
turned because the buyers of new
and used automobiles had not en-
closed a copy of form R-569 when

Post-war Planning
The Golden Valley News would
certainly be amiss if it failed to
mention the rousing big meeting
that was held in Medora last Wed-
nesday evening, even though we
knew nothing about it at the time.
Invitations were sent out to all
of the neighboring towns, inviting
members of the various American
Legion Posts and civic organlz~
tlons to send representatives to
Medora for the purpees of hearln~
and taking part In a program of
postwar problems.
Dr. T. I,. Stangebye of Mott,
state commander of the American
Legion; O. A. Kobs of St. Patti,
assistant general freight agent for
the Northern Pacific railroad; presi-
dent C. E. Scott of the Dickinson
Teachers College; and a humber
of prominent business men of
Dickinson, Belfleld and other cities
made interesting talks.
From all reports the meeting was
well worth attending and we are
indeed sorry that Golden Valley
county was not represented. There
iS no tl~_,, like being ,'neighborly
I neighbers, and failure tO. respond
often has damaging reaction.

Bucs Continue
The somewhat smug claim that
the "price and rationing system is """" ,, *rea
a success because everyone has
been able to acquire the necessitles
of llfe," sounds a little ridiculous.
In a comparatively sparsely settled,
highly fertile land of some three
million square miles, the people
should be able to eat--especially
~when they are as intelligent and
progressive as the average Ameri-
can is.
That the country is eating in
spite of and not because of mis-
managed bureaus, is evidenced by
the fact that in three years time
farm wages have increased 132 per-
cent, feed grains 113 percent, while
fluid milk prices have increased 40
percent. Livestock prices are also
caught In the deadly squeeze.
As once before, when farmer.,
were forced to slaughter pigs while
i many people were going hungry in
the depression,,they again have to:
get rid of animals for causes be° I
yond their control, and the public
cannot buy the meat. And again,
it is because of the Washington
mania for over-regulation.
Third Concert
of Season Will
Feature Tenor
On Wednesday, February 16, in
the Dawson County High School
auditorium at Glendive, the third
concert of the season will be pre-
sented by the Southeastern Mon-
tana Community Concert Associa-
tion. The artist will be William
Hain, tenor, who is substituting
for Felix Knight, who was origin-
ally scheduled for this concert.
While Felix Knight was on
U. 8. O. trip down in the South
Sea Islands entertaining the sol-
diers right in the Jungles and the
actual battlefronts, he was caught
in two Jap raids; in both of them
he was injured. The first raid,
he was blown up in the air, and
coming down on his head, injured
his neck. Before he got over this
he was in another raid, and in
dashing for cover, fell into a ten
feet deep fox-hole and got the
same injury all over again. After
his return, he seemed to be reach-
ing complete recovery. Just a
week ago, however, old symptoms
reappeared, and his doctor finally
had to give orders that he would i
have to give up his concert tour i
and remain under treatment for
the next three months.
To take over on his tour, Colum-
bia Concerts, sponsoring agency for
!the Community Concert Associa-
tions, has secured William Haln, a
charming man with a warm per-
sonality, who has built up a great
following and has a great many
important admirers among the
symphony, festival conductors and
in opera. He is highly regarded
in Cincinnati where he has been
a great favorite with the Cincin-
nati Symphony and opera. He has
made a number of appearances
with Mr. Koussevitsky in the Berk-
shire Festival, and this is his
second season as leading tenor
with the Charles Wagner Opera
Productions. He has sung many
times with the Philharmonic in
New York; once under John Bar-
blrolll; once with Albert Stoessel,
and twice with Bruno Walter. The
second time Bruno Walter re-
engaged him because of his fine
singing.
