WEATHER
STATION WILL
Open IN JUNE
Bureau Office Is Located in
First National Bank
Building Here.
Will Be Operated on 24-Hour
Basis with a Staff of
Six People.

Operation of a new full-time sta
ton of the weather bureau in Glas-
gov is scheduled to begin Don af-
ter June l, it was announced We'd
nesday by r. D. Church, princi-
pal observer, who came here from
Seattle and will be in charge of the
station.
Quarters for the station are now
being built in the old lard office
space in the First National bank
building. The station will be oper-
ated on a 24-hour basis with a staff
of six people, Mr.. Church said.
Also here as first assistant at the
station is Lowell E. Carpenter, OBJ
server, formerly of Boise, Idaho.
Walter E. Highberg, second assis-
tant, is expected soon from Spo-
kane. Three Glasgow young women
also will be employed at the sta
ton.
For Upper-Air Readings
Not only will regular three-hour
weather ground readings be taken
from instruments on the bank
building roof, but balloons will be
released from the roof to secure
weather information by radiosonde.
A radiosonde consists of a meas
uring instrument or meteorograph
and an extremely lightweight ra6io
that transmits signals giving air
pressure, temperature and humid
ity. This assembly is attached TO
a small gas-filled balloon, which
carries it up to $4,000 feet or high
er.
AS the apparatus goes up it trans
mits radio signals giving the wea
ther information which is record
ed by a radio receiver which will
be installed in the office. After the
gas escapes, a small parachute pre-
vents the measuring instrument and
transmitter from falling too rapidly
and thus preserves them for use
again.
While every possible public serv-
ice will be performed through the
new station, because of wartime re-
strictions the public cannot be adj
mitted to the offices, where n
trance must be limited to people
on official business, Mr.. Church
said.

P0ult Winners to
Receive Turkeys
In Coming Week

It appears that the war rush has
somewhat delayed production on
the agricultural front. but winners
of turkey poults in last falls series
of Farmers Days sponsored by Glas-
gov business men may expect ship
ments of the poults within the next
week.
In a phone call to the Foothills
Star Hatchery at Cotton, Ore,
Tuesday, The Courier was advised
by the owner, Albert Potts, that ship
mentS to winners in the county will
be made this week. Mr.. Potts ex-
planned that he was so far behind
with orders that he had not been
able to notify just when shipments
could be made.
He said some of the poults were
being shipped Wednesday and the
balance will be shipped Saturday.
Ordinarily this should bring the
noultS to Valley county points by
Friday and Monday.
Letters are being sent to all VIM
ners of poults advising them of the
shipping dates and it is suggested
they keep in touch with express
agents at points to which they dir
ected the poults be shipped.

FRIEDL IS ON
new HIGHWAY
BOND GROUP
Points Out Half of Debenture
Money Will Be Used for
Feeder Roads.

Paul r. Friedl of Glasgow has
been appointed a member of the
newly formed Montana state de-
benture committee to further the
special highway debenture election
June 8. H. o. Bell Of Missoula is
chairman and eight men represent
ing every section of Montana have
been selected for the committee.
In connection with the election.
at which voters will be asked to
authorize S3.OOO,O 900 in debentures
for highway construction, Mr.. Fried
points out that the act specifies the
funds shall be allotted, 'one-half
for projects on the system for fed
eral aid highways and n a
for projects in urban areas and for
secondary and feeder roads.
He said this was in recognition of
the growing importance OF feeder
farm-to-market roads through
out the state. Such roads as the
Glasgcw-O pheim road would be of
this type, he said.
Under the terms Of the act, the
share would represent only
25 percent of the money to be ex-
pended for highway construction,
with another rs percent to be fur
nished by federal aid.
The need is apparent, he said,
for a postwar highway construction
program. There are TWO reasons:
one is that employment must be
provided for the thousands Of Mon
tana veterans after the a The
second is that the present highway
system, with limited maintenance
and virtually no new construction, is
going to pieces and major
construction and repair programs
will be needed after the war.

Unable 10 Build Now,
Owners Landscape Lots

Usually we build a house and
then finish the walks and the land
scaping around it. Wartime sees
the process reversed.
With priorities making all non
essential building difficult, many
landowners are clearing their
ground, planting trees and shrub
berry against the day when they
WILL be free to build on their prop
erty.
This has many advantages. When
the house is finally constructed the
trees and shrubbery will have
started growing and the new struc-
ture will have a. completed look
Immediately. A wait of a year or
two to overcome the barren un-
planted look is avoided and the
house will look settled in its location
This sort of advanced landscap-
ing should be carefully planned on
paper and can only be done wisely
after the house plans have been
completed 1t is wise also to leave
the foundation planting untouched
to permit free access of trucks
and supplies when house construc-
ton eventually starts.
If you have room for a small
vegetable garden you may realize
