DISCUSS WEED
CONTROL Law
Young Give Report
Of State Meeting
To City Council

A principal topic of discus
sion at the regular meeting
of the city council Tuesday eve
ming was discussion of a new
weed ordinance, which will be
voted on at the May meeting.
Mayor Carl Rankin reported
that a large number of citizens
have spoken in favor of this
proposal. It is hoped that the
ordinance will eliminate weeds
from vacant lots and other ar
cas-, thus adding to the beauty
of the city and helping to pro-
tect the lawns now maintained
by local residents.
S. R. Young, city water super
intendent, submitted his report
of the state meeting of water
superintendent at Helena last
week. Mr.. Young read two pa
pers as a. part of the program.
He was elected vice-president of
the state association. The meet
ing was well attended, he said,
and he cleaned new information
which will be of benefit to Har-
din.
The fact that many COM
plants relating to the presence
of goats and other livestock
within the city limits have been
registered was brought before
the council. The chief Of police
was instructed to enforce the
existing ordinance, which pro-
vides that all livestock except
swine must be confined to the
immediate premises of the own
er of such stock and that all
sheds, barns and yards must
be kept clean at all times.
Swine may not be kept within
the city limits.
Other business disposed of at
the meeting included the auth
orization for the water and fire
departments to purchase addi-
tional fire hose, costing not
more than $500. It is reported
that it may be difficult to pro-
cure this hose in the future,
and 1t is possible that only a
poor substitute for the present
material will be obtainable.
An agreement which the ma
yor made with Roy ByrneS for
the use of five acres of waste
land east of the city for a gar
bage dump at the rate of 50 per
month was approved.
It was decided to pay the
expenses of two representatives
to the state defense council
meeting, 50 that information on
d defense measures may be
brought here.

R1CFIERT TALKS
Q SAFETY

Patrolman E. w. Richert was
speaker at the Wednesday lun-
cheon' of the Hardin Kiwanis
club. The group observed Safety
day.
Mr.. Richert drew several in
%tereSting conclusions from fig
ures on life and property loss
through automobile accidents
during the past year. He pointed
out that fully $4,000 of the
deaths were of men of military
age who might now be serving
their nation.
In addition, he said, over a
million persons were so seri-
ously injured in such accidents
that they were rendered unfit
for service. Three billion dollars
in property values were de-
stroyed - money which might
well have been put to other
uses.
He warned that it is well in
these days to slow down, save
cars and use Judgment in driv-
ing.
It was announced that on
May 4 the president of Kiwanis
International, Charles S. DON
ley of Pittsburg, Pa, will address
Kiwanians and their wives at
a banquet in Billings. It is ex-
pected that a large percentage

"This is primarily a question

A week OF
THE WAR
A Brief Summary OF
News Highlights
Of The War

President Roosevelt sent to
congress a seven-point program
of wartime economic controls
including heavy taxation, gen.
eral rationing of all scarce
commodities and Sterilization Of
wages. He proposed that the net
income of any individual be
limited to SIS, 900 a year, after
payment Of taxes. The presi-
dent described the program as
one of equality of privilege"
for all Americans in bearing
the burdens of total war.
Mr.. Roosevelt said two points
of the program require legisla-
ton, imposing heavy taxation
to keep profits at a low level
and s%tabilizing farm prices. The
other five points proposed by
the president, adequately COW
cred by existing legislation, call
for general price ceilings on
commodities and rents, wage
sterilization at present levels,
increased savings through pur-
chase of war bonds, rationing
of all ESSENTIAL commodities OF
which there are Scarcities, and
further curtailment of credit
and installment buying.
Production and Conversion
The president told his press
conference that the production
and conversion program, laun-
ched in January, is working
out extremely well. He said the
announced goals might even be
expanded. The steel plate shor-
tage has retarded the ship
building program, he said, but
on the whole there is no very
great slow down in ship pro-
duction.
The WPB ordered the cot
ton textile industry to convert
specified percentages of it's
looms to war production within
go days, in order to increase
output of materials for sand
bags, camouflage cloth, agri-
cultural bags, etc. The board
said the automobile industry
during February produced al
most 81 percent as much wal
material as it did during all of
1941. A total of 600 plants in
80 states reported formation of
voluntary labor management
committees.

New Submarine Tender
Named After Inventor

MARE ISLAND NAVY YARD.
Cal.-lNS-The name OF one OF
Americas foremost scientific wiz
ards has been given TO the subma.
rine tender which was recently
launched at the Mare Island Navy
Yard.
The ship is the Sperry, namesake
OF the late Elmer Ambrose Speery,
best known for his development OF
the gyro-compass.
Displacing more than 5000 tons,
the tender is the second OF five
submarine tenders being construct
ed at the Mare Island Yard. Keel
of the third. the Bushnell. will be
laid down a few days after the
Sperry's launching.
Selection of the name of Inven.
tor Sperry for a submarine tender
is considered particularly appro-
pirate, because OF his direct contri-
buttons to the science OF subma.
rine warfare generally.
His gyro-compass was first In
stalled on the battleship Delaware
in 1911. and has since entirely
superseded the magnetic compass
on submarines and battleships.
Sperry also designed and manu-.
featured electrically sustained
gyros for torpedoes, enabling them
to complete long trajectories with a
high degree OF accuracy. During
the World War, he developed an
aerial torpedo with an automatic
gyro-control which proved effec-
tive at a range OF SIS miles.
