Petrol Urges Care
In Holiday Driving

Ease up on the gas to live over
the Fourth of July is the plea for
safety being made all over the state
this month by Supervisor Lou Boe-
decker of the Montana highway pa
troll. The patrol chief is urging driv-
ers to observe all safety rules, for
their own protection, but stresses
the point that most of the fatal car
crashes are the result of too much
speed.
Last Fourth of July in Montana
passed without car accident death
in the state, and the highway patrol
is doing everything in its power to
see the record duplicated this year,
Boedecker said. According to pa
troll records. many highway deaths
are resulting from car crashes in
which only one car is involved-this
indicates too fast driving
Up to the middle of June 81 lives
had been snuffed out by automobile
tragedies in Montana since the first
of the year Only At deaths had
been listed as the result of car
wrecks during the same period last
year Early June's death toll was
particularly high because more than
one death resulted in each of sew
eral auto crashes, Boedecker said.

Board Sets
Old Age Aid
At $500
That Amount To Be Paid BY
State Per Month For
Each Person.
DEPENDENT CHILDREN
TO DRAW SUM OF $1,000

The state department of public
welfare has concluded, after careful
study of the subject, that the amount
the department will be able to pay
to cover old age assistance during
the 193940 fiscal year will not ex-
coed $1,000 per person per month,
and that the average payment for
dependent children will not exceed
$1,000 per child per month. This
is S1.00 more per month for old age
assistance than during the past
three months. Previously it had
been an average of $20.55 per per-
son.
The board has authorized the state
administrator and all employees of
the board to use all appropriate
means at their disposal to bring
about revision OF Individual old
divldual payments for aid to de-
pendent children throughout the
flfty-six counties of the state in ac-
cordance with these estimated av-
erage payments, and that particular
attention be given toward equaliz-
ing the average payments among the
various counties of the state in ac-
cordance with these averages, TAX
ing into full account the individual
needs of all recipients and differ
ences III the total cost of living
among the counties of the state.
The board gives the following rea-
sons for the action taken by them.
There are numerous factors, now
unknown and understandable, af-
fecting the demand for old age as
slstance and aid to dependent chill
dren during the fiscal period begin
ming July |, 1899, and the ability
of counties to pay their share of this
assistance, such as the production of
agricultural crops, the prevailing
price for these crops, the price of
livestock and livestock products; the
demand for the products of our
mines and forests. the prices on
these products and the resulting
employment or unemployment; the
anticipated changes in the Works
Progress Administration, the extent
to which these activities will be
continued, possible changes in the
share that the states and their po-
litical subdivisions will be called
upon to pay to WPA projects; the
general economic development
throughout the United States as a
whole and other unknown factors;
and
1T is the judgment and determi-
nation of this Board that the COM
fort, Well-being and happiness of
recipients of old age assistance and
III aid to dependent children will
Re best served and promoted BY
having these payments kept some
what even and constant from month

This Board after most careful

what payments this department will
be able to make from the funds APP

making forecasts and estimates of
the now unknown and indetermin-
able factors, as far as this can be
accomplished at the present time,
has come to the conclusion that the
average old age assistance that this
department will be able to pay will
not exceed $1,000 per person per

Hats Off To
These Youngsters

Wednesday afternoon Ranger
Charlie Powell glanced to the
south of the city and noticed
a small spiral of smoke arising
from the vicinity of the Bowen
ranch. Knowing that no one had
burning permits in that area he
started at once to investigate.
Upon arrival at the origin of
the smoke he found three young
men, Glen and Darrell Leckrone
and Robert Clough working and
Shaving, even as veteran fire
fighters would, in an effort to
extinguish a decidedly danger
Gus grass fire. In a short time
two other young men, Jimmy
Hendrickson and Clair Bitter
man, arrived on the scene to
lend their manly efforts. With
all six fire fighters on the job
it wasn't long until the flames
had been extinguished, but not
before approximately an acre
and a half had been burned
over.
The first mentioned group of
fellows were swimming in the
mill pond and saw the smoke.
They Immediately FASTENED to
the scene of demolition and
started to work. When Charlie
arrived they were really doing
fine duty. The other youngsters
had seen the smoke from their
homes and had hurried up the
Hill to do their bit.
The forest service is proud of
these youngsters, ages 8 to IL.
They are the kind of citizens
the service wishes every person
would be.
