9lst Division Color
Standards Will See
War Duty Once More

Color standards and battle stream
erS of the former 9lst division units
in which Montanans fought and died
in the first World war, will see action
again in a second world conflict.
The state adjutant generals office
announced at Helena it had complied
with a request from the commanding
general of the 9lst division on the
Pacific coast for those flags from the
362d infantry, a predominantly Mon
tana unit in the first World war.
The flags, before they were sent
to the 91st division, were used as his
torical decorations by the Remnants
club of Montana, headquartered at
Helena. and composed OF those who
served in the 362d Another unit which
served with the 9lst and was largely
composed of Montana men was the
364th field artillery.
The announcement explained that
the flags were used by the club only
in peacetime and that the United
States army was obligated to take
them into battle again in time of war.
Members of the club now in Helena
include George A. Davis of 430 North
Benton avenue and Joe R. Montgom-
cry, custodian of state G. A. R. rec
ordS, who was captain of company B
of the 362d infantry from its organ
ization until he was wounded in the
battle of the Argonne forest.

TOURIST TRAVEL
REDUCED BY WAR
CONFLICT HAS SLOWED TRAFFIC
OF THIS NATURE IN STATE
TO A TRICKLE

War has slowed Montanas tourist
traffic to trickle and cut all travel
approximately one-third of its volume
prior to Pearl Harbor. the state high
way department planning survey re-
ported.
On U. S. 10, the states main east
west artery, the traffic count from
Jan. to Aug /, 1912, was 28.5 per-
cent below that for the same period a
year earlier. This road normally car
ries most of the out of state private
automobile tourist traffic into Mon
tana.
Yellowstone park travel tabulations
showed traffic down GA percent from
last year for the season in the num-
Der of cars, and the visitor number
was down IS percent. Park travel
from all sources compared with the
same months in 1941. was off 60 per-
cent for both April and May, GIG
percent for June and TIL percent for
July.
For July alone, Glacier national
park had 81, 1903 motoring visitors in
COOS automobiles, compared with g.
566 persons in 1878 cars in July,
1871, approximately one-third of last
years total For the travel year, the
total number of vehicles declined GEL
percent from year ago.
Officials said much of the out of
state traffic noted on Montana high
ways this year involved defense work
ers from eastern and midwestern
states travelling to Pacific coast de-
Tense centers.

Governor Ford Asks Support
For Reorganization Program

Gov. Sam C. Ford declared in
recent radio address that Montana
voters should send TO the legislature
men and women who believe in re-
organization and who will support the
passage of the measures designed to
give the state modern and up to date
business structure"
In an accounting OF his stewardship
of state for the last 10 months, Ford
told of the many changes and con-
solicitations in state government
branches effected upon recommended
ton of the committee on reorganiza-
ton and economy.
The cooperation received from all
state departments in putting recon-
mendations into effect has been most
gratifying he said, and I am sure
that the wisdom of the organization
ideas already adopted are readily ap-
parent.
The savings made have proven the
worth of the (reorganiZation) project
and have paid for the cost of the
(committee's) study many times"
Ford, reciting the achievements Of
his administration in its first year
and a half, reported the states fl
nanceS ARE in the best condition in
the history of Montana" He told of
a S2,500.OO0 balance in the general
fund which led to elimination of the
general fund levy for the first time.
mo state has made a better record"
he asserted.
In addition, he said: I'VE have
cleaned up your state government, and
have uprooted the last vestige of graft,
rackets and corruption from every de-
partment where dishonest activities
were carried on. And I say to you in
all sincerity that as long as I am
governor Of Montana there will be no
graft, no rackets and no corruption in
your state affairs"
Regarding Montana's place in the
war program, Ford said:
IN war as in peace the people Of
Montana have no apology to offer in
our reaction to the acid test of loyalty
and devotion to the country. We are
no different from the people of other
states. We are just as loyal, just as
patriotic and just as anxious to serve
our country in every war effort as the
people of any state"

tain of the Order of St. Louis, and
the two sons were given minor posts
in the army. Their rewards, however,
were by no means in keeping with
their accomplishment. Aside from
granting them certain fur trading
privileges, there was no financial re-
ward for them, and as they had fl
nanced their own expeditions for Is
years, they were ruined. The elder La
Verendrye died in 1850, and after the
British had conquered Canada, Cheva-
lier sailed for France on the ship,
Auguste, which was lost with all on
board.
Although the La Verendryes had
accomplished much, they had never
theless failed in their attempt to dis
cover the northwestern pass to the
western sea, and it remained for
Lewis and Clark who followed shortly
afterwards, to work out a route across
the continent.

WAR JOBS URGED
FOR MONTANANS
MEN ADVISED TO VOLUNTARILY
SHIFT FROM NONESSENTIAL
TO DEFENSE WORK

Men of Montana are urged to make
voluntary movement from nonesSen-
tial jobs to essential war employment
and especially to find work for
themselves in the mining industries
OF the State-in an appeal from E. NJ
Birely, state director of selective
service.
Such voluntary movement, Birely
said, will help ito accomplish a direc-
ton of manpower into activities where
it is badly needed.
The movement should be a gradual,
orderly and economically sound trans
fer from employment in noneSsential
activities to employment in, or train
ing for, essential war activities"
According to Birely, local boards will
consider deferment of registrants en-
gagged in the mining and dressing of
chromium, iron, copper, lead, zinc, alu-
minum, mercury, manganese, molyb-
denum, tungsten, vanadium and SIM
liar ores. The national war manpower
commission has certified these mining
activities as being essential to the sup
port OF the war effort
Because of a serious labor shortage,
miners and other workers in certain
VI tHe MOllala mining industries Will
likely have ito be deferred indefinite
ly,' Birely said. He listed copper, zinc
and manganese mines in this class.
1t will be considered a patriotic act
for physically qualified men with de-
pendents to seek employment in the
mining of strategic minerals in Mon
tana, according to Birely.
He says that now is the time for
registrants deferred because of de-
pendents to leave nonessential employ
ment, for as the war progresses more
and more nonessential businesses will
be curtailed. However, they should
not cease their present employment
until their services are needed in some
essential activity"

reporting service said today
Michigan farmers are jingling
S62 900, 900 more in their pock-
cts this year than a year ago,
and that last years crop was no
puny one, either.
1.-The final check-up of acre
ages harvested and yields OBJ
tanned shows the 1912 harvest
to be far above any in the past"
said the report of c. j. Borum,
senior statistician. THE total
crop area increased two per
cent while yields averaged SO
per cent higher than during the
pre-drought decade of 1923-32
The total volume of production
is nearly IL per cent larger than
in 1888, the banner year of the
past"
Borum estimated the cash val
ue of 30 major crops at $24l,-
628, 900, compared with $179,-
$4,000 in 1941, and declared
the figures told a story of big
ger acreages, bigger yields per
acre and a lot of hard work by
farmers plagued by labor short
ages to meet their production
quotas.
