BLUE TOKENS HAVE NO
VALUE AFTER SATURDAY

This is the last week that blue
ration tokens can be used. Mrs. l.
D. Shope of the war price and
rationing section at the Billings
OPA office warned housewives that
the blue tokens will be of no use
after Sept. 80. During the present
week, however, they may be used
in blocks of 10. If a housewife
does not have 10 tokens, she may
pool hers with her neighbors.
All processed foods remaining on
the ration list now have ration
values measured in units of 10.
Therefore, blue tokens are no long
er needed in change.
Sixty blue stamps or 600 points,
processed food, may be exchanged
for certificates for five pounds of
sugar. The sugar is given only in
lots of five pounds.

CORW|N TELLS Of
COP. CONVENTION
Rotary Speaker Quotes From
Speeches On Party Policy
Attended Rotary No. 1

After hearing Arthur F. Lamey's
description a week ago of the Dem
ocratic national convention in Chica-
go, Laurel Rotarians heard Tuesday
a description of the Republican
convention as seen by one of their
members, j. w. Corwin, who at
tended as Montana delegate.
Corwin said the account given by
Lamey regarding the uncomfort-
able seats, the vastness of the con-
vention hall, the milling crowd, the
system of microphone communica-
tion between the delegates and the
platform, the color and the lights
applied also to the Republican
gathering. The setting was the
same, but the actors changed
Avoiding partisan representatives,
Corwin read excerpts from some of
the principal speeches to illustrate
the general policies of the party
and the principal tenets of that
school of political thought. The
almost unanimous selection of a
candidate for president was scarce
ly mentioned by the speaker, who
conceded the club mem
bers were already familiar with that
part of the convention. Some at
tention was given to that part in
which the vice presidential candi-
date was chosen.
Before dealing with the conven-
ton, Corwin told of the pleasure he
derived from attending a meeting of
Rotary club No. l at Chicago. Old
No. 1 was the point of beginning
for the entire Rotary movement and
usually has many visitors at its
weekly meetings. A good many of
the visitors at the session Corwin
attended were Republicans who, like
were in Chicago for the
At No. 1 the members and visi-
,ors are seated at tables accommo-
1ating eight each. A committee

Laurel Railroad Man
On First Train Going
Into Liberated Paris

A former Laurel railroad man
was on the first train going into
Paris, after Allied forces had driven
deep into France-following d day
and the cracking of Hitler's outer
defenses of Fortress Europe. The
information was contained in a let
ter which N. E. Moore received last
week from Cpl. P. b. Marvin, who
before the war worked in the Laurel
yards as a switchman.
The trainload of personnel and
equipment was the first the Allied
forces sent over bombed and re-
paired tracks to the liberated capital
of France. 1t was quite an event
for the French, just freed from four
years of enemy domination, and for
the men operating the train.
