The girls who are interested in library work are having their chance by assisting the children's librarian at story hours in the branch libraries.

TRAFFIC COP
BY THE MAN IN THE TOWER

The traffic cops
 A versatile guy, In case you don't know
 We'll tell you why. He keeps cars moving, Tells crowds to scram Manages to avert
 A traffic jam. He tells wandering motorists Lost and in hurry, How to get to Thomaston, Or perhaps Woodbury. He gives the pedestrian
 \ life-saving break, Tells kefuddled drivers Which lane to take. He's always polite,
 Even to drivers batty, States what what
 But is not too chatty. He doesn't ball out
 Drivers that are new, Struck, stricken, stymied And in a perfect stew. Oh the traffic cops
 A pretty good guy, But don't contradict him If you want to get by.

Townsend Club No. |
Social Friday Evening

Townsend Club No. / met Friday
evening at the Y. M. c. A. During
routine business, arrangements were
completed for a social next Friday,
June 10, with Mrs. Elizabeth Gill
acting as chairman. A musical and

after which refreshments will be
served.
Mrs. H. N. Kennedy rendered her
resignation as a member of Club

quested to act as its representative

tials, hence Mrs. Kennedy's transfer
to Club No. 2. Butte Club No. l
expressed regret at losing Mrs. Ken
nedy, but as the mother club of this
district, its members are gratified
and individually commend the dis
eliminating judgment Of the South

organization work; she is an expert
parliamentarian, having taught
classes in parliamentary procedure;
she is a magnetic, cultured and con-
vincing public speaker-one of the
best speakers among the women
prominent in civic and political work

study of the philosophy of the Town
send Plan. Under her able leader
ship, the South Side Club will soon
take its place among the many clubs
that are doing constructive educa-
tional work for the Townsend Ma
tional Recovery Plan in Montana.
Park Lea of the Publicity com
mittee reported a growing interest
in the Townsend Plan among stu
dents of economics, which will lead
to the formation of study groups
among members of several organiza-
tons in Butte and vicinity in the
near future. One such group has
been started in Butte, and another
is being planned in Anaconda.
Visitors are always welcome at
meetings of Club No. l, which are

the farmers who raise the products,
loss to the workers who handle their

to lower tariffs when other coun-

TRADES COUNCIL
NOTES

In the Trades and Labor Council
last Tuesday a protest arrived from
the Farm-Labor Council of Havre
complaining against the use of the
schools and other public institutions
in propagandizing air transportation
and air travel. The complaint of the
Hill County organization was that
there should be no discrimination in
respect to public institutions as re-
CARDS any form of transportation,
whether railroads, trucks Oh air.
However, the Trades and Labor
Council decided not to intervene and
placed the protest on file.
The Council decided to send a
representative to the City Hall
Wednesday, to talk over plans for a
Fourth Of July celebration.
The Miners Union notified the Sill
yer Bow Trades and Labor Council
that their union extends an invita-
ton to all organizations in Silver
Bow County to parade and picnic
with them on their holiday, June
18th.
Delegate Spiegel made an appeal
to the delegates to support Labor's
Non-P Partisan League and to vote
for its candidates. He rebuked some
of the pretended friends of labor
who go about saying that they are
100 per cent for labor organizations
and yet vote for measures that are
detrimental.
President Charles Davis at his re-
quest was given a two months leave
of absence to attend summer school
at Greeley, Colorado. Mr.. Davis is
a member of the Teachers Union and
is very popular among the delegates,
His wife will accompany him. Both
Mr.. Davis and his wife expect to get
degrees upon completing a course
at Greeley this summer.
At the present time, two of the
largest Trades and Labor Councils
in the state of Montana r being
conducted by teachers, the one at
Butte and the one at Missoula, which
