200 Hear Ferguson Or State Body
Describe Necessity, Intention Or
Planning For Coming Post-Wa Era

Employers who have 10 or less
people on their payrolls provide 90
per cent of the employment in the
United States. To have factual in
formation on the probable employ
ment situation after the war, a sur
vey is needed. It's better to do
postwar planning now than to
wait until after the armistice.
Those were some of the thoughts
expressed Friday evening by w. G..
Ferguson of Helena, an officer of
Montanans, Inc, speaking before
200 Laurel men and women at an
after dinner program of the Laurel
Commercial club in the dining room
of the Masonic temple. His topic
"Why Plan Now What he
said was an answer to the ques-
ton of the subject.
A population loss of $4,000 since
beginning of the war is recorded
for Montana, Ferguson said, and
added that 300 men a month are
now coming back to the state. Three
thousand went from Yellowstone
alone.
Of the states $4,000, some $4,000
went to the armed forces and the
balance to out-of-state defense
work. Now the workers are trickl-
ing back and a few of the service
men and women are being discharg-
ed and are returning. It's time
now, said Ferguson, to do something
about providing jobs and the kind
Of work those people, and the 9TH
ers who will follow them, want.
The planning, the speaker held,
IS a community effort in which all
people should join. Here in
Laurel the first step should be a
complete survey of all regular and
employment possibilities
real jobs that people want to take
and keep. After the Survey there
AN be sensible planning.
Among items of information
'eeded is the purchasing power of
Iaurel. Farms have become mech
lnized to quite an extent, so their
to give jobs is being sur
eyed by the Montana State College
1t Bozeman. How the buying will
,e paid for is another item. When
III the fipures are gathered they
re to be sent to Washington and
gill be a valuable aid to manu-
acturers.
The people of Montana must find

Reviewed By Educator

Harlan c.. Hines of the State Nor
NAL School at Billings discussed
Tuesday for the benefit of the Lau-
rel Rotary club effects of War on
and to Education" and indicated
the probability of unusual and ex-
tensive changes.
Avoiding opinions as much as he
conveniently could, Hines told of a
tendency toward adult education
that would waive entrance require
ments other than the capacity to
take it," of application of the idea
to younger students, and of de-
Capitalization of college and uni
versity instruction.
Earlier he described some of the
almost strange things now being
done in education. The thirst to
know is not strange, but some of
the subjects now presented are.
Illustrative was a class in fly
Mentioned also was one in
Spanish. A few students were eX-
pected, but many came.
The teaching profession, like 9TH
ers, suffers now of depleted per-
sonnet. In the emergency some odd
eXpedients are used.
When the war is over and people
return to normal life it is likely
there will be unusual demands on
all institutions of learning. The
necessary building all along the line
IS indicated.

New Well Seems
Satisfactory

From every indication the new
well recently completed by the
power company for local cons,mp-
ton is proving to be every bit as
good as was hoped for and the
quantity is sufficient-if it con-
tinues to flow as it is now. An
inspection shows a fine, clear,
sparkling water which apparently
is not too hard. It fathers well,
at least.
Continuous pumping has not
lowered the level in the well to
any extent and the company is
hoping that it will continue as it
now shows. Output of the well
measures above 500 gallons a
minute.
A new well will be commenced
just east of the present well as
soon as the rig can be moved.
It will take some little time to
connect the well with the mains
in the event that the tests prove
the water satisfactory in every
respect.
