î LAUREL, MONTANA, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 5, 1944 VOLUME 35—NO. 40 FIVE CENTS WASTE PAPER Citizens Asked To Ful ly Cooperate; Truck Is To Collect Saturday "Blood plasma, bandages, surgi cal sponges, gauze and cottons, first aid dressings, sulfa drugs and syrettes are the most critical items in a long list of life savers that are demanding packaging and con tainers for shipment to all war fronts," E. J. Keeley, general salv age secretary for Montana, said Tuesday in an appeal issued for increased collection of waste paper. "Half the people in Montana are salvaging waste paper," said Kee ley. "The other half have not gotten around to it yet. Our state must change this attitude immed iately. As our supply lines to the front become longer, our packages must be stronger, and that requires more waste paper for containers." Eighty-one tons of supplies a month are required for each fight ing man overseas. In the last war 43 tons of supplies per man was sufficient. Military demands added to essen tial civilian requirements come at a time when paper production is down because of the shortage of its most essential ingredient, w o o d p u 1 p Waste paper must substitute for lack of woodpulp. Container manufacturers can use 80 per cent waste paper to 20 per cent pulpwood in the production of shipping containers, whereas they j are now forced to use 50 per cent waste paper to 50 per cent pulp-r' wood. Increased collection of waste i paper is, therefore, the only guar- I antee of meeting container produc- j tion requirements. i Commenting on the immediate need for waste paper, Philip Noel, Laurel city treasurer and local chairman, said a truck will be here Saturday to haul the material to a j delivery point. He urged all Laurel citizens to cooperate to the fullest I extent, following previous instruc tions as to sorting and packaging, wishing to Noel said farmers contribute to the paper collection may unload their packages on the sidewalk in front of the city hall, one of the points from which the truck will pick up the material. j

Use of gasoline for purposes other than that for which the rations were issued is charged in seven cases.

Arranging Easter Breakfast Plans were completed for the an nual Easter breakfast of the Senior Young People's Sunday school class of the Methodist church which is to be held at the class rooms.

OVER KGHL TUESDAY Seven methods which the Ameri- i 1 can people must employ to help I combat inflation provide the theme for the forty-first in a series of "Speak Up For Democracy" talks to be broadcast over station KGHL j at 10:30 p. m. on Tuesday, April 11 under the sponsorship of the Veter ans of Foreign Wars of the U. S. The April 11 address will be de- j livered by Frank J. Gorman, cording to an announcement by Commander A. T. Duvall of Bil- lings post 1634. "The fight against inflation is being supported by our organiza tion because we veterans of the j first World war remembered the j hardships which were inflicted upon j cur people by the evils of inflation j back in 1917-18, I mander Duvall. "The penalties of inflation will be felt by all citizens. That is why 'all of us owe it to oui selves to j help fight inflationary trends. Safe j j and sane economical conditions in I the United States are vital to the preservation of Americanism. Wild inflation will cause widespread pov erty and distress. Such conditions pave the way for unrest and con fusion. The American people will be in a mood to listen to the rab ble rousers. Demagogues will arise to seize advantage of the opportun i ity to attack the fundamental prin ciples of Americanism, "We also owe it to our loved ac declared Com ones in the armed forces to keep the prices of food, clothing, shelter and other necessities at reasonable levels. If we fail to accomplish this objective, we will only betray those who are risking their lives on the battle fronts to preserve our I security on the home front." Library Assistants, Dietitians Wanted; Civil Service Jobs The United States civil service commission is seeking library as- i j sistants at $1,752 and $1,970 a year, j including overtime pay, for federal i jobs in Washington, D.

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. NO HIGHER TRIBUTE No higher tribute could be paid to an industry than that reived by the airlines of the United States from the Truman c mmittee in the course of its investigation of the national fense program. In a detailed report on the present status t J United States air power, the committee had the following c say of the world-wide air cargo service which the airlines ere instrumental in developing: "Hundreds of thousands of l ns of supplies have been moved by air to sustain military c orations, which would otherwise have been absolutely im jssible. Without these planes, we could not have taken or eld Guadalcanal we could not have sent thousands of Ameri c m and Australian troops over the Owen-Stanley mountains, hi short, we could not have prosecuted the campaigns which constituted our first great offensives against the Japanese.

Similarly, cargo and transport planes were of tremendous value in supplying military operations in Burma, China, Rus sia and North Africa, and indeed everywhere that combat has taken place. Some high Chinese officials have stated that without the aid of cargo and transport planes, China could have not continued an effective resistance of the enemy. Thousands of wounded men have been evacuated by air to points of safety where they could obtain adequate medical attention. Many of them owe their lives to these planes. "These are contributions to the winning of the war of the vejy highest order and all who have participated in building and operating these planes and providing the necessary air fields and equipment to maintain them may well be proud. This was accomplished, and could have been accomplished, only through the splendid cooperation of the private airlines, which possessed the necessary nucleus of skill and experience." t

A SURPRISE FOR ADOLPH AND TOJO "One hundred octane" is the commonly accepted name for an aviation super-fuel now available in large quantities only to the United Nations. The production of "100 octane" gasoline on the enormous scale demanded for today's air war, is pos sible only because the scientists, engineers, construction men and process workers of the oil industry and the contractors serving it have labored mightily in the hist three years. To gain some idea of how the American oil industry has done the "impossible" in fueling tens of thousands of Allied planes, facts recently released by a single United States oil company are enlightening. Since Pearl Harbor, one company with its thousands of workers has turned blue prints into operating units which today are bringing its production up to a point where its plants alone will soon be making enough J00 octane gasoline to fuel a thousand plane raids on Berlin every other day. This is an example of how American initiative and enter prise throughout our country have set a speed and production record that Adolph and Tojo will never be able to match. Be Sure to Buy Your War Stamps What Does Timely Planting Mean? Timely planting means one thing in an early It means something else in a late spring spring, like the present. Timely planting always means planting at the earliest favorable opportunity under the RIGHT conditions of seed bed and weather. There is no advantage whatever, and there is a real disadvantage, in rushing planting early in April IF conditions are not right. It is true, that under NORMAL conditions, beets planted in the fore part of April produce the highest yields. Proper procedure at this time is to get into the fields as soon as field work can be properly done. Take time to make the best seed bed pos sible, Then plant at the first favorable oppor tunity. We should not rush preparations and plant when the field is too wet. All beet drills should be checked carefully be fore starting to plant. When planting the drill should plant five pounds of segmented seed per acre at a depth of only one inch. TAKE TIME TO DO IT RIGHT AND DON'T WORRY ABOUT THE CALENDAR I The Great Western Sugar Company Lights of NewVork by L. L. STEVENSON Just about a year ago, one of Uncle Sam's fighting ships reached Philadelphia—one on which Sher wood J. Robinson of Dallas, was coxswain, second class. With flock of shipmates, all eager for liberty after action overseas, Robin son went ashore. In the course of the evening, he was introduced to a winsome little brown-eyed de fense worker employed in the Gen eral Electric plant—Miss Nina Far row. They were attracted to one So they la tnnofV. a a another immediately. danced together, drank soda togeth er and Robinson told her exactly how a boy in blue feels during an engagement. And when Robinson sailed away for more action over seas, he took with him a picture of the little brown-eyed defense worker. In the course of time, Robinson returned to Philadelphia. His stay was longer but not nearly enough for the Lone Star state lad who then was wearing two gold stripes, sig nifying participation in two engage ments. In Philadelphia, there was another engagement—one in which a chubby little fellow with arma ment of only bow and arrow, scored a direct hit. So on the finger of Nina Farrow went a diamond ring, not a large stone but one clear and perfect. Her family had met Robin son and they approved of the clean cut young man with the drawl in his voice. Consent was given to a marriage when Robinson came back. After his ship had sailed, Miss Farrow, whose ring was admired greatly by all the other girls in the inductance brazing department, worked harder than ever. Not so long ago, Miss Farrow re ceived great news—her sailor soon would be on his way home. Then came greater news—his ship had actually reached port. This time, however, it was New York and not Philadelphia, everything arranged—Nina was to leave for New York immediately and go to the Hotel Holland. He'd meet her there as soon as he could obtain liberty and they'd be mar ried right away. Nina wasted no time in obtaining a leave of ab sence. She reached New York on a Wednesday. She'd never been here before but she got to the hotel safely. Nevertheless, the great city awed her. In the course of the next few days, she learned the real meaning of loneliness and how hours can drag. It would have been worse had she not become acquaint ed with Mrs. Helen Burrell, a tele phone operator at the hotel, who took But Robinson had a deep interest in the little girl.

On a Saturday morning, Mrs. Burrell had a message for Miss Farrow. Robinson would be given leave at 2 p. m. Nina was in the clouds. Not so Mrs. Burrell. She knew that in New York getting married was not a simple process— there were many formalities in cluding a five-day wait. Also New York closes tight at noon Satur days. But she was resourceful. First she called in a young paper woman, who lives at the hotel and who has many acquaintances in key positions. The two got busy at once. softened right and left with the re sult that just about all marriage license formalities were waived. There was one hurdle that could not be leaped, however.

To obtain a license, the prospec tive bridegroom must appear in person—and Robinson did not leave his ship until two hours after the office had closed. Nothing could be done on Sunday of course. But bright and early Monday morning, Miss Farrow and Robinson were at the Municipal building. Despite the fact that everything was in readi ness, minutes slipped by so fast that Robinson, to his great dismay, found that if he-lingered long enough for a wedding ceremony, he'd be late getting back to his ship. The young man had to make a decision a mighty hard one. Duty came first and he went back to his ship unwed. news New York's hard heart The story didn't end there. Rob inson was fortunate enough to ob tain eight hours liberty the next day—from 4 p. m. until midnight. The notice was mighty short and there were other complications, in cluding the fact that it was a holi day in New York and almost every one was away. But through the USO and Sloan House, a minister was obtained, the Rev. Paul Dickey associate pastor of Marble Collegi ate church, who, at 6 p. m. per formed the ceremony at his Morn ingside Drive home—a ceremony at which the bride wore her first orchid. At midnight, the bride groom returned to his ship and a few hours later was again on the high seas. BcU Syndicate.—WNU Features.

Typical Marine Ingenuity Overcomes Oil Shortage i NANUMEA, ELLICE ISLANDS.— There are shortages out here, just as there are at home, and they are somewhat more critical than a scar city of steaks or bobby pins. One of them came up during the occu pation of this strategic island, but it was met with typical marine in genuity by Sergt. Matthew D. Nem Lsh. Sergeant Nemish was in an ad vance party of marines which land ed before the main occupation force. Exposed to the threat of Jap counter measures, the marines were not comforted by the discovery that there was a shortage of machine gun oil in the stores they had brought with them. That was when Sergeant Nemish demonstrated that there is more than one way to grease the skids for the Japs. The lubricant he used on the gun parts was oil extracted from cocoanuts. When Jap planes came over, the marine weapons were working very nicely.

Shortening, salad and cooking oil were slashed j point. DRAFT*

Eye S Points on canned carrots and tomato juice also were reduced. To fill up the industrial and agri cultural ranks left vacant by the drafting of all men except key work ers under 26, the government called for the induction of all 4-Fs not en gaged in essential occupations and a congressional committee moved to shape special legislation for such a program.

At the same time> u was revealed Selective Service was scrapping its un system of deferring agricultural workers, only giving consideration to a man s regular employment on a farm and the P roblem f re P ladng him Under the government's proposal, 4 Fs doin 8 nonessential work would be enlisted as reserves and directed to essential occupations at regular civilian pay, or they would be en rolled in labor battalions for em ployment at army pay if they re fused to accept the assignments. Of the nation's 3,500,000 4-Fs it was estimated that about 1,000,000 were engaged in non-essential work. PACIFIC: Threaten India As bold Japanese forces thrust to ward the highway hub of Imphal in India, Adm. Louis Mountbatten rallied Allied forces to a stand to hold this key to land commu nications all along the 600 mile Bur mese front. In the Southwest Pacific area, strong U. S. naval forces again challenged the Japanese fleet to come out and fight by attacking the en emy's sea base of Palau, 460 miles from the Philippines, but the Nips once more withdrew. On New i' A Admiral Mountbatten Guinea, New Britain and Bougain ville, Allied ground forces continued to press the Japs, as U. S. airmen impeded reinforcement of their bat tered troops by shooting up shipping and bases. Seeking to capitalize on their sur prise of the Allies in India when they burst from the Burmese jun gle from three points to converge on Imphal, the Japs maintained heavy pressure in the face of stiffen ing British resistance. Beyond Im phal lay the Bengal-Assam railroad, supplying Lieut. Gen. Joseph Stil well's U. S. and Chinese troops push ing the Japs down the Mogaung val ley in far northern Burma. HIGHLIGHTS DAIRY SUBSIDIES: Charles Hol man, secretary of the National Co operative Milk Producers federation, told a senate committee that sub sidies on dairy products would have to be increased by $200,000,000 a year to give farmers a fair return. This would raise the total paid to milk producers from $550,000,000 to $750, 000,000. Holman is opposed to the whole dairy subsidy program. AGRICULTURE: Food Subsidies To peg consumer costs, War Food Administrator Marvin Jones ordered the $3,000,000,000 Commodity Credit corporation to use its powers and funds for subsidizing food prices. In addition, the CCC was ordered to purchase, sell, store and trans port food and farm products involved in the WFA's price-support and lend lease programs. Strongly bucked by the farm bloc in congressional debate but upheld by administration forces, the food subsidy program will cost the CCC between $650,000,000 and $800,000,000, it was estimated. Farm Prices Increases in returns on meat ani mals, feed grains, hay and oil bear ing and fruit crops resulted in a one point advance in the general level of farm prices from mid-February to mid-March, the agriculture de partment reported. Boosts in the above commodities more than offset declines in food grains, truck crops, and milk and egg prices, and brought the general income level to 196 of the 1909-'14 plane. A rise of one point brought prices paid by farmers to 176 of the 1909-'14 standard. Prices received by farmers aver aged 115 of parity, with only wheat, rye, flaxseed, cotton, hay, peanuts, cottoh, lemon and oranges below the' fair exchange value established by congress.

As the Germans drew back in the east, Allied bombers headed over western Europe to drop their ex plosives over the expected invasion routes and hammer at Nazi produc tion centers. In Italy, both sides traded punches at Anzio below Rome, while action tapered at Cas sino, where Germans clung to their defensive posts. In pushing the Germans back to the Carpathians, the Russians ad vanced to within 30 miles from the old Czecho-Slovak border, while far ther to the southeast, they crossed the Prut river to lunge into Ru mania. Occupation Plans From London last week came re ports indicating Allied plans for postwar Europe shaped by the U. S., Russia and Britain. With the reich's collapse, the au thoritative London Sunday Observer said plans called for British occupa tion of western and north central Germany, U. S. control of the south ern and south-central parts, and Russia of the eastern section. Sym bol of Germany, Berlin would be oc cupied by all three powers. Before establishment of stable gov ernment, the Big Three would also occupy Austria, and any movement for that country's union with Ger many would be discouraged, with closer economic ties with the Bal kans suggested. Looking toward eastern Europe, information leaking from sources consulted on perfecting details of the Teheran agreements indicate Moscow will annex the Baltic states and eastern Poland and Balkan ter ritory considered traditionally Rus sian, and exercise influence over Bulgaria, Rumania and Hungary. in week*» netot SAVINGS: In the first two years of war, savings of the American peo ple have increased by more than 50 per cent, represented by war bonds, bank deposits and life insurance. The total of these three items on Janu ary 1 of this year was 91 billion dollars. About 12 per cent of in dividual income goes Into these forms of savings, according to the Institute of Life Insurance.

Although most members of the industry advisory committees are manufacturers, some wholesalers and retailers have been included in the groups, and it will be their task to help determine normal outlets for certain goods, the amount of ma terial to be released, and whether distributors should bid for the chandise, negotiate for its purchase or buy it at auction.

GERMANY: Production Efficiency Striving to stretch their human and material resources to maxi mum, Germany's production czars have reached into industrial and do mestic activity alike. In industry, the Nazis have spared men and metal by reducing locomo tive models from 119 to 13, and they have economized on shipping space by extensive dehydration of foods. More efficient methods reportedly increased steel, copper and alumi num output while decreasing man hours. To keep working women from per forming juse tasks at home, the Nazis have organized groups to mend their stockings and attend to other domestic functions.

Taken to St. Petersburg, Fla., by his master and then given to a resi dent there, an Irish setter, Duke, so longed for his old home that he trav eled 1,200 miles back to it at Roann, Ind., where an old friend. Rev. Rob ert Collins, found him bloody-footed and exhausted. Informed of Duke's plight, his master wired Rev. Collins funds to care for the dog until he should re turn. ARMY AND NAVY: Furloughs Because of shipping difficulties and preparations for campaigns, the army will continue to grant fur loughs on an individual basis rather than to whole units, Sen. Guy Gil lette (Iowa) was advised by the war department. With other midwestern senators, Gillette had queried the war depart ment about the possibilities of fur loughing the 34th division, which has been overseas for more than two years and is made up of men from Minnesota, South Dakota, North Da kota, Nebraska and Iowa. While the war department admit ted many empty cargo ships were returning to the U. S., it added that there was a problem of shore han dling once the vessels reached here. New Construction Heralding an intensification of the war against the Japanese, the U. S. navy asked for 1% billion dollars for the construction of shore facilities, principally on the West coast. Plans call for the building of fleet and cargo piers, supply depots, avi ation training bases, harbor im provements and repair depots. Expansion of present hospital fa cilities from 60,000 to 80.000 beds and provision for malaria recupera tion centers also were included in the plans. WITHOUT COUNTRY A bill has been passed by the house which would make men who fled the United States to avoid the draft "men without a country." These expatriates would be forever barred from reentering the United States. The bill was sent to the senate for action. The house immigration committee reported that many men have gone into Mexico to avoid induction. In the vicinity of El Paso, Texas, alone,* more than 800 evaders are known to have crossed the border. Feed and Succeed BY JACK MAYNARD hiidiiiiihphiphiidiuihiiihiiihiiihiiihuihuihiii SUGAR BEETS AND LOW COST FEEDING OPERATIONS Right now, with farmers making final plans for the relative acreages of crops they will plant this spring, fat stock selling at central markets is telling a convincing story of the value of sugar beet by-products in helping to produce low cost gains. Cattle that were fattened this year with full use of these by-products (o offset the steadily increasing costs of concentrates, are showing a good profit, while others, due to costs, have eaten excessive grain their profits away. A clear picture of the high value of beet tops in providing the bulk of protein and fattening nutrients at low cost is brought oat by the record of a carlot of cattle fatten ed on a beet farm at Crook, Colo., and recently marketed at Denver. These cattle, sold at the Denver Union March 13 Stock Yards on for .$15.25 per cwt. weighed 1,122 pounds per head and showed an daily net market gain of average 2.04 pounds her head for the 99 days that they were fed in dry lot. significant point brought out by the careful records this particular feeding The most kept on operation is the fact that these cat tle were fed a maximum allowance of tops with a limited amount of grain and hay and that consequent fattened at a daily 22* je per head per day, producing net gains at a cost of only 11 cents per pound. daily ration fed ly they were feed cost of only The average these steers consisted of 5.3 pounds f ground snapped corn, 3.2 pounds of ground ear corn, 3 pounds of unds of alfalfa and In ad o dried pulp, 2.5 po all the tops they would eat. dition they were fed salt and bone meal. ing includes a daily allowance per tops from .12 tons of beets, feeding standards indicate that the steers probably actually consumed only amount.

One item was the use of oil cloth 1 and bits of wall paper in lining chest drawers. Even the art of darning may be enhanced, she said, I by using a small medallion to cover worn holes in linen, drapes and towels. She discussed the use of a cen- i ç tral theme or object around which to group the furniture and decora tions in a room, and listed color combinations for walls, drapes and furnishings. The use of good pictures and art pieces contribute much to the beauty of a room, she said. She mentioned a number of decorative accessories for mantle, s desk dr coffee table, and described different types of lamps and light ing fixtures. She concluded with this thought: "Decorating in its best form does not require the ex- penditure of large sums of money.
