Air Spotters for Defense Sought in Montana
At Great Falls Air Force Base in August 1951 Governor Bonner urged 4000 Montanans to join the Ground Observer Corps as civilian plane spotters. Civil Defense Director Lt. Col. McKinney noted only 20 to 25 percent of needed volunteers are organized and explained how Ground Observers aid radar centers in detecting enemy aircraft and guiding intercepts.

Modern Veneers Expand Designer Freedom in Furniture
Modern furniture gains acceptance as designers break tradition in wood choice and ornament. They pursue marketable, imaginative forms using beautiful hardwood veneers and varied patterns achieved through veneer matching to create new and distinctive looks.
Coordination urged for Ground Observer posts and Filter Centers
Col. McKinney stressed coordination between Ground Observers and Filter Centers as new centers in Helena and Billings prove useless without observers. He urged uniform post distribution about eight miles apart so reports form workable Flight Tracks, with twenty five volunteers ideal per post and training emphasized. Recruitment is via Montana Civil Defense, training by Air Force officers of the 29th Air Division at Great Falls Base.
