dresses Club Tuesday Noon

Clarence G. Manning of Lewis.
town, district governor of Rotary
district No. 112, paid official visits
Monday evening and Tuesday noon
to the Laurel Rotary club, and vas
greeted by nearly complete attend
ance of members. He was the
speaker at the noon session Tuesday

world.
He said that until recently the
workers in science had confined
themselves to the exploring of truth
bat with the development and use
of the atomic bomb a new era con-
fronts humanity. Already the
scientists feel their responsibility
has increased beyond their field to
the social fields and that the forces
of nature must be employed for the
benefit of mar instead of destruc-
ton.
Using the work of the scientists
as an index, Manning viewed the
future activities of other bodies in
in the family of nations.
The district governor said the
Paris office of Rotary international
is being reopened and that clubs
suppressed in the occupied countries
Of Europe have begun to function
again. A few had operated under
during the war. The North
Africa office is also to resume its
activities. There were a few clubs

expected that some of them may
now revive. For the first time a
commission will go to Russia, hop
ng to establish clubs in that
,ry.
Manning was introduced at the

member of the August program
committee.

VI day and the end of the shoot
ing portion of the war, which came
last week, vas quickly followed in
succeeding days by a number of
wartime restrictions being either
abolished OF eased.
One of the first was removal of
gasoline r~ationing. Car owners have
for the past week reveled in driv-
ing up to service stations and again
using the old phrase, "Fill FER up!"
The weakened old tires have travel
ed a good many additional miles as
a result. Downtown Laurel has
blossomed again with automobiles
parked thickly at the curbs, and
Saturday night looked something
like old times except for the alb
sence of glistening new paint.
Those who could get away, and
whose tires seemed to warrant, have
even made a few fishing trips.
Highway travel has noticeably
increased. Very evident are the
cars bearing Washington, Oregon
and California licenses, all headed
east and evidently carrying people
home from west coast war plants.
Immediately after VI day it was
reported that an exodus was taking
place on the coast.
Laurel housewives and their fam

Civil Service Reserves
Jobs, Returning Vets

Until further notice, the United
States civil service commission will
not receive any applications for
employment in the federal service
except from those veterans who
have the right to have examinations
reopened for them.
The commission has taken this
step, according to a statement is
sued today, in order to make sure
that any vacancies which develop in
the federal service will be filled
by returning veterans or by
persons who are about to be or
have been separated from other po-
sitions in the federal service.
"The federal government as an
employer" stated James p. Cooley,
director of the eleventh civil service
"must set the example in
providing the members of the armed
forces who are coming through u
separation centers today with the
maximum possible opportunities for
employment.
"Also, the federal government is
determined not to put itself in a
position where it is discharging per
sons in one part of the federal SER
vice and, at the SAME time, hiring
persons from the outside to fill
similar positions in another part of
The federal service.

COUNTY RANKS THIRD
FOR TOTAL PAYR0LLS

Helena, Aug. %. Yellowstone
county ranked third in total pay
rolls for commercial and industrial
business in Montana for the first
quarter of 1915, according to Bar
clay Craighead, chairman of the
unemployment compensation COM
mission of Montana.
Eight per cent of total payrolls
for the state is paid in the county
by more than nine per cent of the
employers to 1912 per cent of the
employees, Craighead said.
More than ~S2,734,400 in wages
were paid for the period to 9,120
workers by 1888 firms in the county,
the chairman continued. The all
time high in ~payrolls for the state
in the same period was 1885, 900
covering $4,000 employees of the
5000 firms. These figures do not
include the railroads, the chairman
pointed out.
The chairman estimated that pay
rolls in commercial and industrial
pursuits will approach $12,000,000.
based on the reports of employers
to the commission for the first
quarter. Successive quarters tend
to increase, he said, and in Yellow
stone county, the last quarter will
be somewhat greater than the 9th
ers because of the activity of the
sugar beet industry in that quarter.
In addition to these figures, the
county shares in a portion of pay

prepared and lawned location facing
the street. All the work in connec-
ton with its making and erection,
except for cost of some of the ma
terial, was donated by industrial
groups. Finances were provided by
civic organizations and several in
dividuals. The memorial to those
who serve and have served is a
community project.
At the ceremony Wednesday eve-
ming, James T. Amin of Columbus
was the principal speaker. In a
brief but eloquent address shortly
after 8 o'clock he ~recounted the
herculean performance of America
in a global war, the magnificent eff
fort of the workers at home and the
valor of 100000 young men and
women who served at the fronts in
the eastern and western hemis-
pheres. In solemn words he told
of Americas gratitude to those
who have and will return to their
accustomed places in civil life, those
who suffer in broken bodies, and
those others who will never return.
The speaker, a veteran of the
World war, adopted for the
moment the role of a father talk
ing to his sons when he addressed
words to veterans of the second wal
telling them that they and their
working at home had
striven nightly and successfully to
preserve and perpetuate the stand
and means for a happy life,
be enjoyed by themselves and
those who come after them; that
this measure was what they had
for.
The future of America, he said,
will rest largely in the intelligent
hands of those who preserved it.
Fred w. Graft, acting as master of
ceremonies, opened the d~edicatory
ceremony by introducing Command

APPROVAL IS GIVEN
SITE F0R PROPOSED
AIRPORT At LAUREL
CAA Gives Nod To Location AT
Southwest Corner Of City
Three Locations Viewed

A site for an airfield at Laure
was approved Aug. 2 at the Seattle
office of the civil aeronautics ad,
ministration, U. S. department o.
commerce, by Lane w. Wilcox
supervisor of airports. The Laure
approval was one of four for Mon
tana, the others being for Column
bus, Fromberg and Broadus. All
were for class 1 ports.
Three sites at Laurel were ex-
amined by the CAA and No. 8 was
approved. No. 1 site was north o.
Laurel and No. 2 was south of the
Yellowstone. The location approx
ed, site No. 8, is farm land of 400
acres adjoining the southwest city
limits. There is room for develop
ment of three landing strips and
necessary buildings.
The approval early this month at
Seattle followed Investigations con-
Quoted here by CAA representa-
tives on Sept. 81, 1914, May 18 and
June 4 and 5 of this year. The
first was done in the company of
the Laurel Commercial clubs avia-
ton committee: Clay Greening, j.
F. Macdonald and Joe Nicholas.
Charles S. King, district airport
engineer, was the representative of
CAA.
The several Investigations were
f,,1Iry oaxrara1 ~, on nvfancfxra rnnnrf
of June 8 this year, submitted by
Engineer King to the Seattle office.
On Aug. 2, Supervisor Wilcox at
Seattle transmitted a copy of the
report to Joe Larson, president of
the Laurel Commercial club.
The surface of the approved site
is flat, sloping slightly to the south
and east. The report said: "The
development of this site into an air
pert would involve a negligible
amount of clearing. There would
be a few scattered trees, particu-
larly in the approaches, some
bushes and some fences. Grading
would probably be between light
and moderate as compared to other
SITES"
Further on the report stated: GAS
a whole, the development of this
site into an adequate airport, either
class 1 or class 2, will be moderate
in cost"
According to present CAA stand
ards, a class 1 port has landing
strips 2,700 feet long, class 2 has
3,6OO-foot strips and class 8 has
strips of 1900 or more in length.
The approval for Laurel was for a
class 1 port, with the possibility of
developing it into a No. 2 class port
should the longer strips be required.
Purchase of airport sites and cost
of development is principally borne
by those communities wishing air
connections. A number of
Montana cities and towns have dis
such an interest, for it is
generally believed that travel by
air will be extensive.

Roosevelt, Churchill
Differ on Jap Talks
Ry the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
President Roosevelt and Prime
Minister Churchill, apostles of unity,
found themselves unco-ordinated
today on one point.
What did they talk about at their
mid-February meeting in Egypt?
Mr. Roosevelt told news con-
ference on the cruiser that brought
him back to Washington that Japan
wasn't even mentioned.
Mr.. Churchill told the British
House of Commons Tuesday:
Il myself took leave of the Presi-
dent on the 18th of this month in
Alexandria Harbor after long and
most agreeable talks about the state
of our affairs in the light of the
Crimea Conference and also talk
about our special business in the
Far East, in which, as the Japanese
are aware, we both take some in
tereSt."
Mr.. Roosevelt's own White House
staff found itself lined up with the
British Prime Minister. 1t had is
sued a release February 20 which
said the Alexandria meeting per-
mitted new and important discus
sions' having to do with Japan
and the war in the Pacific"
But everybody agreed that Mr.
Churchill, Mr.. Roosevelt and the
White House staff are all united
against Japan.

Meeting Called Fruitful.
|. Observers interpreted President
Roosevelt's trip to Capitol Hill so
soon after his return from the
Crimea as a gesture toward improv-
ing the relations between the execu-
tive and legislative branches, and as
a bid for support for postwar plan
ming, and Mr.. Roosevelt. at the out
set of his speech, made it clear that
it was these things he had in mind.
Expressing his own belief that the
Big Three meeting had been fruit
full, he added pointedly:
Speaking in all frankness, the
question of whether it is to be
entirely fruitful or not lies to a
great extent in your hands. For
unless you in the Halls of Congress
with the support of the American
people-concur in the general con-
illusions reached at Yalta, and give
them your active support, the meet
ing will not have produced lasting
results.
That is why I come before you

that when the last stone is laid on

it will be an achievement for
which all of us in America have

together"
Cooperative Effort Stressed.
Again he stressed that 1.-The struc-
ture of world peace cannot be the
work of one man, or one party, or
one nation" but that it must rep
resent the cooperative effort of
the whole world"
At Teheran a year ago, he con-
tinued, the emphasis was all on
military effort. At the Crimea Con-
ference, he amplif1ed, "the time had
come for getting down to specific
cases in the political field"
Parenthetically, the President
said, it had been demonstrated that
the time lapse between Teheran
and Yalta-14 months-had proven
too long; that more frequent meet

recognized as necessity and that
