CORNER

Hardin high school has some
times been censored perhaps for
being a bit slow in adopting
progressive practices. The mat
ter of student council might be
a case in point. This student
organization was in vogue at
some time in the history of the
school but of late it has been a
defunct organization. Students,
parents, teachers, and board
members have at different times
wondered why such an organiza-
ton was not functioning in
the Hardin system. The writer
does not attempt to answer
these questions but simply state
that after viewing the situation
from various angles, it became
apparent that Hardin was in
need of some type of student
government. For if we are to
be keeping step with educa-
tional progress today, there is
but one course to follow and
that is to put democracy to
work into our school program.
It isn't enough to jsut talk about
it and now during these days
of stress when we are much
more aware of the need of pre-
serving and perpetuating demo-
cratic ideals especially when
they are threatened and at
tackled by our enemies.
Recently our student organi-'
cation was perfected; members
were elected in the democratic
way by the student classes OF
Hardin high school. AS a later
addenda, it was found eXpedient
and desirable to have a law
enforcing agency functioning
along side of the student senate.
This latter group is known
as the HBI or Hardin Bureau
of Investigation. The HBI was
given its assignment by the stu
dent council and school admin
i%StratorS and has been in oper-
alton during the past two weeks.
1t is interesting to note the fine
spirit with which this group of
students took their assignment
and the bus.neSs-like manner in
which they went about dis
charging their duties. It is true
that there is a minority that
objects to this type of student
organization just as we have in
our national affairs. We have
many citizens who are opposed
to our form of government and
constantly c%riticizing it for its
COMMISSIONS and commissions.
But the sum total of the whole
situation is this - that the vast
majority of students are re-
spending most generously to the
efforts of the student directors
and the teachers are very much
in accord. A marked improve
ment has been noted since the
Inauguration of this system. If
these students who are directing
the affairs of fellow students
will develop the qualities of lea
dersh!p and dependability, then
we are putting democracy to
work. For it will be these young
people who will be running the
government of tomorrow and
student government is aimed at
educating the pupils along these
lines. It Is the sincere hope thai
this Inauguration of student
Self-government which has been
given such an suspicious be-
ginning will become a tradi-
tional and worthwhile part of
the Hardin high school.
Sincerely yours,
Elmer Skeie.

The Inside Dope

Well, well, another week has
passed, and Charlie NagaShima
has found no one to compare
with the blonde Charlotte he
met in Lewistown. There was
only one thing wrong with
Charlotte" said Charlie, "she
was a minister's daughter and
had to go to church on Satur-
day." Poor Charlie! Everything
happens to him.
LaNell Boughton and Jimmy
Morris were in each others
company one evening last week.
LaNell is running a date bu-
reau for the junior prom. 1t
comes in handy doesn't it, La
Nell? Especially when Dean
Huss is mad, or should we say
Pinky fireman" Jones has a
motto of always being prepared
for any emergency. Just the
other night he had occasion to
help extinguish a fire. We shall
give him a medal.
Apparently Pat BearSs could
not find another car so he went
back to the old one. How about
it Peg? Competition tough? She
said she couldn't compete with
Dickie.
History repeats itself and so
does Jimmy Armstrong. Hazel
Thomson is going to the prom
with him again this year, aren't
you Hazel?
Hey there, Romeo" Linn. La
Nell, Lois and Katie. You can't
have everything! Come on Smit-
ty make up your mind, but don't
take my blonde. You've got
three of them on your list al
ready.
Ellsworth apparently doesn't
have anything to worry about.
Dickie had three invitations to
the prom before he asked her
but she's going with Ellsworth.
Keep trying boys. Ellsworth
won't be here next year and
Dickie will.
Open letter TO Gayle Lam
merS:
Dear Porky,
When you asked your girl,
Mary Lind, to the prom we un=
derstand you tWlaaled your
thumbs. You certainly weren't
that bored. There are things you
should know or learn soon.
Jimmy Casanova" Morris
really rates. His girl in Sheri-
dan sent him a graduation pic
ture. P. S. She's only a Sophie
more. Everyone in Sheridan has
heard Of Jimmy. They all reac
his letters.
Mr.. Rimel. Everybody is Won
dering which one Mr.. Rimel is
going to take to the prom -
Dorothy. Helen, Joyce or Mary.
Well, Daisy June! This is the
newly discovered exclamation
used by a certain Sonny" SEN
Tor who can't seem to forget 6
certain Jessie February.
Ana! Success. After many un-
decided weeks of powerful con.
centration, Ellsworth Skeie fl.
nallv popped the question. P. S
He and Dick are now going tt
the PROM together.
Stranger condolences have
occurred, but not often. Ra.
Dorr wants to be a cowboy. anc
Corinna Mcdowell wants to b.
a cowboys sweetheart.

THE POET.

While all around u on the waves of
storm
We see confusion and a world dis
traught,
Someone. perChance, has caught a
yagrant thought
And made it eloquent in cadenccd
form.
Although the thought Itself seemed
niue worth
TIL he had searched and found a
pattern meet:
And so sent forth Il message that
was sweet,
Some word of comfort for a trou-
oiled earth.
Then as his patience lovingly APP
Piled
Brought forth the rhythm and the
poetry,
So consolation came to those dis
ucSSed;
G~limmering the order they were
satisfied,
Knowing that somewhere there
vas harmony.
Finding the mes age that his work
had blessed.

J. 81. Steel Ordered
To Comply With
Priority Rules
Court Issues Decree
After WPB Charges
Violations
p the Associated Press.


PITTSBURGH. June 15.-Federal
Judge F. P. Schoonmaker today
issued a consent decree directing
the Jones g. Laughlin Steel Corp.
to comply with all priority regula-
tions of the War Production Board.
The WPB on April 20 had charged
the corporation with repeated, de-
liberate violations" of priorities reg
ulaticns, claiming it had accepted
lower rated and civilian orders for
steel products, while refusing to ac-
cept or make delivery under high
rated military orders.
In consenting to the decree, Jones
& Laughlin reiterated its denial
that it had violated regulations
orders or directions" of the WPB.
Former Allegheny County Judge
Elder w. Marshall, counsel for J. a.
L., said the corporation had been
'rigidly adhering to priorities" regu-
lations. adding;
With the tremendous united et-
fort the war requires from every
one Of us, the Jones & Laughlin
Steel Corp. is unwilling to engage
further in any controversy with the
Government about priorities."
The courts order noted that John
Lord O'Brian, counsel for the WPB.
had said the Government "has made
no charge, no intimation that the
defendant concern was guilty OF any
lack of patriotism"
Judge Schoonmaker commented
that this was a very happy dis
position of the case"

Extreme Pressure
For Steel Plates
May Ease Soon
Magazine Points Out
Peak Of ShipbuiIdine
Program Nears
Dy tie Associated Press.

By tie Associatsd Press.
CLEVELAND, June 15.A"signs
are not lacking that the extreme
pressure for steel plates may ease
shortly" because Of increasing heavy
production and broader allocations
based more on inventories, the mag
azine Steel noted today.
"At the peak Of the shipbuilding
program, which is being approached,
monthly requirements for plates for
all purposes are estimated at 1900
600 10 10000 tons, yet the ratio
of deliveries to shipbuilders of total
production last month was only
around one-third Of the total" the
trade publication continued, in its
weekly review.
'Shipyard inventories are being
kept In better balance, but demand
for plates in war production appears
to be relatively as heavy for other
armament, notably combat tanks,
and many miscellaneous uses nor
mally taking limited tonnage. In
other words. while ship requirements
are emphasized in pressure for
plates. demand In other directions
is quite as heavy in comparison.
Plate production in May totaled
1,012, 1874 tons, exceeding by 100000
tons the record set in April at $685.
97l tons. May tonnage from con-
tinuous strip and sheet mills was
425,2ll tons. compared with 337,9l5
in April. Deliveries to shipyards
were more than 100000 tons"
National ingot production last
week remained at 80 per cent OF
estimated capacity, for the fourth
week-"An exceptionally high sus-
tanned level" Cincinnati advanced
81 points to 95 per cent; New Eng
land, points to 95, and YoungS-
town, point to 95. Chicago lost
u point further, to 104 per cent;
st. Louis, "a points to 951a; Detroit,
l point to So, and Wheeling, 81
points to 7S per cent. Unchanged
rates were held at Birmingham, o5;
