earlier. No change was made in
the commercial apple crop eS-

reduced when growers found
fewer tubers under the vines

October. The Scattered storms

month did not greatly therefore

orable for harvest and general
farm work. BY Nov. l almost

manned. Corn picking was well
advanced and some localities
had completed sugar beet har-
vest with others needing about
ten days of good weather to
finish. Seeding of fall grains
was nearly finished and fall
blowing was far along. Pastures

Asks Amendment
OF Highway Law

The overwhelming majoritieS
piled up in a recent election by
voters in Kentucky and Penn
Sylvania in favor of conStitiu-
tional amendments prohibiting
the use of highway funds for
nOn-highWay purposes should
serve as a cue to Montana in
planning its future road SyS-
TEN and discal policies, C. G.
Stevenson. executive secretary
of the Montana Petroleum In
GuStrieS committee, declared in
a statement issued this week.
Based on election returns,
amendments restricting to high
way use only revenues received
from gasoline and other auto
motive taxes, passed by a vote
of three to one in Kentucky
and six to one in Pennsylvania
Mr.. Stevenson attributed the
sweeping victory accorded the
measures in both Kentucky and
Pennsylvania to a desire on the
part Of the people to safeguard
road funds in order to insure
their availability for highway
construction projects as well as
a cushion against imminent
postwar unemployment.
MI. Stevenson stated that al
though Montana is not at pre-
sent diverting highway funds
to other purposes. a constitu-
tional amendment such as has
been passed by Is states of the
Union would set up a perman-
ent all-time safeguard against
diversion of such funds to

MuStering-Ou Paw

Cease history-Harry N. was
indicted into service in June,
1912. He was found to be ply
sically unqualified for full duty,
but was accepted for limited
service. He is a rather heavy
man with weak arches from
which he suffered much pain
from time to time. After being
hOspitalized a number of times,
he was finally discharged in
the spring of 1914. Just after
the law was passed providing
muSter-out pay to hOnOrably
discharged veterans.
Harry has a job now. but has
never done anything about COL

Servicemen were DISCHARGED
without receiving this benefit.
Those discharged before the
act became ettectlVe must make
application for the benefit to

the veteran was attached.

500, 5000 and $500, depending
on length and place of service.

In Harry's case, he was prob

to help to prepare the necessary
form to obtain the benefit. The

this is due to reduced paintings.
Sugar beet production is es-

third largest crop grown in the
state. It was exceeded by the

the 900 ton crop of 1910.

We should continue to uphold
this sound principle. We should
also go one step farther and as
sure once and for all that the
practice we are now following

WARNED AGAINST
MONOXIDE GAS

With the arrival of colder
weather and the consequent in
creased use OF heating equip
ment in buildings that are
closed more tightly than usual,
Montana Extension service
workers warn rural people of
the dangers of carbon monox-
ide poisoning.
Last year, they point out,
1850 persons in the U. S. were
killed by poison gas. Studies
made by the National Safety
council reveal that eight of ev-
cry nine of these deaths were
caused by carbon monoXide
and that 81 per cent of the
The Hardin tribune-herald. [volume] (Hardin, Mont.) 1925-1973, 1945-11-22

victims were stricken in their
own homes.
To guard against monoXide
poisoning, the extension work.
erS list four precautions:
/. Be sure the damper in a
stove or furnace pipe is never
closed so tightly that gases are
forced out into the room. It is
better to regulate the draw
with a check draft.
2. A flue pipe to carry away
burned gases from gas ovens
and water heaters is a must
item.
3. Gas burners should burn
with a transparent blue flame.
Adjustment is necessary if the
flame has a white or yellow
tint.
4. Never operate a gasoline
engine in closed place unless
the exhaust is piped out of
doors. Open shed doors before
starting truck, car or tractor.

 Such a plentiful supply has been of the utmost importance to the citys wartime industries and will continue to be during peaceful pur- suits. Without the services of the second pipeline city officials point ed out that the maximum con- sumption of 25,0OO, 900 gallons a day which was recorded in 1o44 would have been impossible. Tn 1940 daily consumption average was 7,50O, GOO gallons, whereas the inauguration of the second line raised the figure to 1l,700,000, as well as removed many dead" spots throughout the city which could not be adequately taken care of by the old low-serv- ice pipeline.
 It is expected that during the postwar period the old pipeline will be subjected to a thorough cleaning and refining job, estimates for which run as high as $150,O00 and which will necessitate the city depending for a considerable period on the new pipeline. According to the controllers report this work is necessary due to the fact that ef- ficiency of the old pipeline is now 50 per cent of what 1t was when the pipe was put into operation in 1895.

ToDischarge 800, 900 GLs Monthly By Dec.
 Army Officials Admit PIon for Doubling
 Present Rate

Gen. Thomas T. Handy, deputy chief of staff, Maj. Gen. Stephens G. Henry, chief of personnel, and Mai. Gen. IdWall Edwards, chief of organization and training.
 Undersecretary of War Robert P. Patterson told the committees s opening session yesterday that dis- charges reached the rate of 12,000 daily-390 900 a month-in the first nine days of September. He prom ised they would be stepped up to the point where 6,000,000 men will be out of uniform by next July l.
 After Patterson's testimony top generals told senators privately that 100000 discharges @ month are in prospect by Dec. 1.
 The bottleneck to date, they told the senators, has ben a shortage Of Army separation centers.
 The Army has 22 in operation now and four more scheduled to open soon. There are supposed to be 7i by Dec. 1 engaged in the task of canneling soldiers back into civilian life.

 Sen. Edwin 0. Johnson, D., Colo, ranking Democrat on the committee and one of those who talked to the genrals after Patterson's testimony, predicted that new age and depend- ency categories for discharges also will be added to speed the entire demobilization procedure.
 Although the Army witnesses seemed to be making headway, they still had some tough senatorial ques- tions to answer. These included:
 l. Justification for the 100000 troops in Europe and 100000 in the Pacific which Patterson said were the contemplated forces of occupation.
 2. Some arrangement for dis. charging limited service soldiers and others whose assignments prevented accumulation of sufficient discharge points despite up to four years of service.

Costs TabuLated On NelU Water Projects City Expended Total of $2.o6s, ,e4S
 In Acquiring Valuable, Timely Assets Report Indicates

Final costs of the additional water supplies projects. which the City of Waterbury started just prior to the outbreak of the war and which were completed in time to prove of ir- estimable value to this city's indus trial output during the war-days, amourtcf to $2,068, ,948.S6, according to a compilation and description furnished in the recent financial statement of City Controller Corne- Illus F. Maloney.
 The Pitch Reservoir financial ac- count was one of the high-lights of the controllers report which has just been published and which in content and presentation furnishes < distinct contrast with the more formal and less-readable documents of prior years. Based on models urged by the Connecticut Public Ex- penditure Council, the Connecticut Municipal Finance Officers Assn, asid the national association of Fi- nance Officers the report modern izes town and finance reporting.
 Of the total costs mentioned above e047, ,012.74 went into the city's sec- ond pipeline. a 13-mile line which begins at the new Pitch Reservoir, passes around the east side of the Morris Reservoir, crossing between 1t and the Wigwam and coming into Waterbury through Watertown and Oakville.
 eftlae hter1R aaRsT,faA AAyatNnl eka ktAVa costs are listed at $105, ,69l .03; chem icaI feed stations, $43 ,481.19.
 Final costs of the Pitch Reservoir, which was accepted by the city a years ago, are placed at $966, ,704.55. In addition the report lists $6,059.35 as "expenses of construction not capitalized"
 The citS supplied $l48,000 of the total cost through issuance of wa ter bonds. $l,000,000 wa3 issued in 19ll at an interest rate of IS per cent $30O000, 1942, 1.o per cent $185,000, 1943, 1.3 per cent. Inci- dentally these rates of interest are the lowest ever received by the city on bond issues, reflecting both credit ou the city for its improved financ- ial standing, as well as the condi- ton of the bond market at the time of selling, which was extremely fav. orable to municipal issues of this type.
 In addition the city received $500,- 900 as a federal grant; $96, 6,15654 was paid through the Department Of Engineering appropriations; and 920l. .03 represented contractors de- poSits. A balance of $12,409.6l, cash | on hand, capitalized the income and | expenditures at $2,06S, ,948.86.

 Pullets on Connecticut farms are coming into production and supplies of fresh eggs are increasing very rapidly. Wholesale dealers and farmers cooperatives report that the volume of eggs reaching their plants has doubled and in some cases, tripled in the last few weeks. It is expected that the market will remain firm on large size eggs for the present. Pullet egg prices have dropped to considerably lower lev- els and both independent and chain grocers are featuring them.

 The survey, the first detailed re- port since V-J Day, was made by the Regional War Manpower Com mission at the request of the New England council and made public at the organizations s0th quarterly meeting.
 However, offsetting the layoffs in the specified areas, the WING found 54,397 jobs available Sept. 1. At that time, unemployment compensation claims in the communities surveyed reached 76,9e5.
 The survey also disclosed that hardest hit cities were Bridgeport, Hartford, New Britain, New Haven and Waterbury, Conn, and Port land, Me.
 Though Connecticut seemed worse off than other states with % per cent of it's July-employed laid off, the WING said the states postwar prospects were excellent. Jop open- tngs were l0,601 as against 53,500 let go. Expansion was expected in the states electrical, garment and tool industries.

 Death Case On Docket
 Mother Seeking
 Compensation
 For Sons Deoth

Denial of Workmen's compensa- ton payments for the "pickle-tub" death of Joseph Michaud, Nov. 2l, l943 will be the basis of an appeal hearing in superior court tomorrow before Judge Charles J. McLaugh- lin.
 The action was instituted by Mrs. Clara M. Labbe, mother of the vic- tim, who appealed from a finding in which Compensation Commissioner John J. O'Conneli ruled the death did not arise out of or in the course of employment.
 The 24-year old enploye of the Seamless Tube Mill of the Alneri- can Brass South plant was last seen on November 2l, i943, and an ex- tensive search was conducted for him before his body was found 10 days later in soap and hot water solution at the plant.
 A $l6,000 action against the manufacturing company and a dou- ble indemnity insurance suit are still pending in the court. Both are brought by Mrs. Labbe.
