Broom Factory
New Small
Industry Here

Glasgow has a new small in
dustry in a broom works opened this
week by G.. H. Witherbee. He is
now using the former Swift build
ing on the Great Northern right
cf-way for materials and machin-
cry.
Although handicapped, like other
plants, by lack of labor and mater
ials, Mr.. Witherbee said that when
he reaches capacity, the plant will
be capable of producing from $50
to 200 brooms a day TO be marketed
in northern and eastern Montana.
BroomS will be sold under the
Magic Maid" name. At present, Mr.
Witherbee is making one grade of
broom. the light parlor type but
later will manufacture heavy par
lor and warehouse brocms also.
Broom corn is now being obtained
from Minneapolis. Although broom
handles are difficult to secure, Mr..
Witherbee has received n ship
ment.
The factory operator has had
experience making brooms since a
boy. when his father operated a
broom factory in the east. Later,
while homesteading south of Frazer
Mr.. Witherbee made brooms. He
was employed in defense work on
the west coast in recent years and
most of the machinery he now has
was purchased in Seattle.
Corn is first sorted, trimmed, dryed
bleached and soaked before being
on the handle on a winding
machine. Successive steps take the
broom through a sewing machine,
a "jigger'' for combing, a cutter and
ether machinery.
Mr.. Witherbee has submitted a
broom to the OPA office in
Helena and must wait until he is
assigned a ceiling price on his pro-
duct before making sales through
retail outlets.

views as 10 what form such train
ing should take, it was reported by
superintendent R. L. Irle of Glas-
gov. who is retiring as president OF
the association after two years serv-
ice. Superintendent Harry A. Burke
of Great Falls succeeds Mr.. Irle.

law requiring such training, the adj
ministrators believe that Neither
boys nor their parents should be
bribed by offers of education as part
of their military training" a resolu-
ton passed at the meeting stated.
While paying tribute TO military
leadership in the war, it added that.
if education becomes part of the
military establishment Military

Federal Committee Is Set Up
for Disposal of
Govt. Fields

Action to secure opening of the
Glasgow army airbase field to pri-
vate civilian flying operations Will
be taken at a meeting of the Glas-
gov chapter of the Montana Avla-
ton ASSOCIATION in the Chamber OF
Commerce Tuesday night at 8, dl-
Iectors announced wednesday. Oh
ficers of the chapter also will be
elected to serve for the coming year.
Ill men interested in aviation
are invited to attend.
Although EFFORTS have been in
progress for some time to open the
field to civilian private and COM
mercial operations, the chapter is
taking immediate action after re-
ceiving word that a surplus airport
disposal committee has been set up
in Washington under terms of the
surplus administrations regulation
for the disposal of government
owned airfields.
william G.. Ferguson of Helena,
secretary of the Montana aeronaut-
les commission, in a letter to Paul
j.. Campbell of Glasgow, said, AT
the st. Louis meeting of National
Aviation Officials, it was brought
out that Denver, Cheyenne and
some others which had been used as
modification centerS were expect
ing to receive all of these improve
ments without any cost to the city"
1T was also stated that some
communities were writing into the
return agreement a provision
whereby the army, in view OF fur
ther use in case of emergency,
would give some assistance to the
maintenance"
The release from Washington
announcing the formation of the
committee states that agencies OF
federal, state and local govern
ments may obtain surplus airport
properties for considerations other
than cash.
The basic policy supplemented by
the regulation, SPA Reg. 16, is that
the national interest requires the
disposal of surplus airport property
in such q manner and on such
terms and conditions as will en-
courage and foster the development
of civil aviation and provide and
preserve for civil aviation and ma
tional defense purposes a strong, ell
ficient and properly maintained ma
tionwide system of public air
ports"
The Montana Aviation associa-
ton, at its recent state convention
in Helena. passed a resolution
strongly urging that airports and
equipment owned by the govern
ment in Glasgow, Great Falls, cut
Bank and Lewistowr: be made avail
able to those communities for pub
lie air operations.
II was pointed out that present
army regulations and restrictions
seriously interfere with private and
commercial operations" and cause
"a great expense and waste to the
CT the nation"

for about 40 per cent of the gains

ber's deposits.
Montana's deposits bounded up to
297 millions as the month ended,

due mainly to near-ceiling prices
from an abundance of small grains
and livestock.
The agricultural prosperity was
reflected in mounting retail sales.
Thirty-seven Montana department
stores reported a gain of l2l per
cent OVe those OF OCTOBER a year
ago, ranging from 124 per cent in
creases in the mountain areas to ll9
per cent more sales on the plains.
Only two stores reported a decrease
in sales.
Greatest production gains were
in the small grains, particularly in
oats. which were reported 40 per
cent better than a year ago. Wheat
was 10 per cent above last years
production, and the quality of hard
red spring and durum wheat was
said to be the best in five years.
Prices for farm products remained
near ceiling levels and the cash farm
income for the district was expected
to be 10 to Is per cent more than
last years which would set a new
record high.
