MADISON COUNTY
LEADS IN DRIVE

In answer to the nationwide
appeal to salvage waste paper,
Madison county Montana, had
the highest per person contrib
ution, according to a recently
released survey.
With a population OF only
1852, serviced by only. branch
line of a railroad and upimprov-
ed highways, and with the add
ed handicap of a mountainous
area consisting of $3.50 square
miles, the people of the region
have shipped enough waste pap
er this month to total rs tons.
A breakdown of this figure re-
veals that each person has con-
tributed 80 pounds. Several OF
the mining companies have had
to truck the paper at least 81
miles to a railroad center.
Ray Kohls, salvage chairman
for the county, and Mrs. Cam
lila Gage of Twin Bridges, wom-
ems director, have directed all
activities during the drive.
The largest town in the
county has a population of SGT.

and flood control bills.
Included in the party will be

and flood control bills have pas
sed the house of representatives
and are waiting action by the
senate, Mr.. Funston stated.
The Montana delegation is
chiefly concerned in the rivers
and harbors bill, which calls
for a nine foot deep channel in
the Missouri river at Sioux City,
Iowa. Such a measure would be
detrimental to reclamation in
tereSts in Montana and several
other states making up the Mis-
ssouri river drainage area, it
was believed.
Attempts are being made to
get both bills heard" as soon
as possible so the delegation
will not have to remain in
Washington for any length of
time, Mr.. Funston said.
The states of Montana, Wyo-
ming and North Dakota have

new RULES ON
GAS RATI0NING
Con Get Extra Rdtions
If Garden Plot Is
More Thm l.50O Feet

Several new rulings regarding
gasoline rationing were explain
ed this week by the office staff
of the local War Price and Ra-
tiOning board.
If a garden is at least $500
square feet, gasoline to trans
port a gardener to his plot will
be granted. However, the mileage
is limited to 800 miles for the six
months Immediately following
the date OF application, and
this must be enough to permit
travel to the garden an average
of twice a week for the period
during which the garden will
he planted, cultivated and har-
vested.
The endorsement on "E" and
r." coupons may he made eth
er on one coupon in the strip or
block or acrss the strip or block.
An E or r coupon is valid for
transfer if either the coupon it.
self bears the required endorse
ment or if it is in a block of at
tached coupons which bears the
endorsement. When coupons are
detached from a block, at least
one coupon in each book must
be endorsed. A dealer or distri-
putor is required to copy the en-
dorsement on each "E" or "R"
coupon.
The following statement was
made regarding the elimination
of tire inspection: EFFECTIVE
April 20, the periodic tire in
spection program for passenger
car tires will be eliminated as a
result of joint action taken by
the OPA, the ODT and the Of
flee of the Rubber Director.
Most motorists are now con-
scious of the extreme need for
tire care and conservation. The
tires on all vehicles have been
inspected at least three times.
THESE inspections have result
ed in the saving of thousands
OF tires. Required repairs, mech
anical corrections, recapping ser
vices, etc., have been called to
the motorists attention. Fur
Their, with an inspection prior
to a tire replacement still being
required, it will continue to be
possible, without periodic in
SpectionS, to maintain tire SER
lal number control and to pre-
vent the replacement OF tires
which are still capable of fur
Their service.
although periodic inspections
are stopped, it is important that
motorists do not destroy the
Tire inspection records issued
Tor their passenger automobiles.
IheSe records will continue to
be used in the tire and gaso-
line rationing programs.
The elimination of these in
spections will substantially sim
pity rationing procedure for
passenger car operators. The
TACT that periodic inspection
Will not be required, however,
does not mean that there is no
longer a need for careful tire
care. Every motorist must real
lze that continued conservation
of the tires now on his car is
an absolute must if we are
successfully to bridge the gap
between present inventory short
ages and adequate supplies of
new synthetic tires"
