Unfinished Business

Mr.. Dick Marble of the White Line
Transfer Company was discussed and a
motion made ana carried that he sign
an agreement similar to the one signed
by Mr.. Charles Mccarthy, former owner
of the White Line Transfer Company
and that the secretary notify Strain
Brothers to that effect.
The letter from the mayor regarding
the city building inspector took up the
majority of the meeting. The mayor
feels as though the office of inspector
is being run very efficiently but if any
one could offer definite proof of any
Irregularities he would take the matter
up personally. Many cases of laxity
were brought out in the delegates re-
ports and it certainly looks as if now
is the time to work for a full-time city
building inspector.

MONTANA COLLEGES
To PREWAR
START SOON
MissOula, BOzeman Higher In
situations To Offer Facilities
For Returning Vets

"
For the first time since the
autumn of 1941, which was a few
months before Pear Harbor, Mon
tana institutions of higher learning
are moving again towards the status
of ~peacetime. At both the state
university in Missoula and the state
college in Bozeman the plans and
schedules of former years are being
resumed.
Though the majority of freshmen
students will be direct from high
school, an increasing number will
be veterans who lost three or more
years between high school and col
lege. Some others will be men and
women whose college work was in
terrupted. Those in this classified
ton are already in small numbers
preparing to resume where they left
off, but rehabilitation has not yet
progressed to the point where the
numbers will large.
One indication of the trend is in
an announcement from the universe
ty at Missoula that DIR. G. d. Shall
enberger, chairman of the division
of physical sciences at the univers-
ity and who is now on a years
leave of absence, is. physics instruc-
tor at a new army university in
England, to give soldiers in the
European theater of operations an
nnn,ttrpif Kr fo ranafvn nn1lana IN
struction while waiting to return to
the United States. The overseas
university recently started its first
eight-week semester with an en-
rollment of 1925.
The waiting student-soldiers are
in 283 courses in eight departments
and may take courses in agriculture,
commerce and business administra-
ton, education, engineering, fine
arts, journalism, the liberal arts
and science.
The students range in rank from
private to lieutenant colonel, but
they are treated alike.
That the Montana university it.
self will assume pre-war normally
is seen in the announcement that
all four residence halls at Missoula
will open for regular students dur
ing the 1945-46 term, the first time
the beginning of the war.
One of the buildings, South hall,
was closed most of last year after
the ASTRP program vas discon-
tinued by the war department. The
other halls have been used inter
.mittently for service men and uni
students during the past
years. Corbin and North halls
will be open for freshmen women,
New hall for upperclass and
South hall for both freshmen and
lpperclass men. Several fraternity
will begin the first year of
'ull time operation since the war
At Bozeman State college formal
instruction will begin Monday, Oct.
!. Freshmen are required to ar
i've not later than the evening of
Sept. %.
Men and women who have been
lonorably discharged from the
Irmed forces but who cannot offer
IL the requirements for admission
nay enter the college as special
tudents, the state board of educa-
ion has ruled. The college is also
to offer a counseling serv-
&c to students who are war veter-
ms, and a member of the faculty

User to them.

CONSOLIDATION Of
RATION BOARDS IS
ANNOUNCED BYOPA
They Become Price Controllers
Sugar Stamp SO Good
Save All Green Stamps

In the changeover from war to
peace a program is already under
way for the consolidation of boards
by which local war price and ra-
tioning boards will be known as
price control boards when ration
ing ceases.
Consolidation of boards and the
release of administrative as well
as paid board personnel will make
possible a saving of 35 per cent in
OPA payroll expense in Montana.
Although OPA rationing is grad
ually being ~liquidated, price control
in Montana is continued and will
be vigorously enforced to prevent
postwar initiation, says the OPA
Montana office at Helena.
Sugar stamp No. SO in war ra-
ton book a is the stamp to use
for the next five pounds of sugar.
Stamp No. 81 has not been vail
dated and will not be used because
last summer many people by mis-
take sent their No. 81 stamp to
their local board for canning sugar.
No. SO stamp is good until Dec. 81.
More clothes will be in the stores
within the next six months for
more low cost fabrics are to be
made available to manufacturers.
Green ration stamps in war ra-
ton book No. a have been designat-
ed instead of spare stamps and are
to be used after red ration stamps
are exhausted. Designation of the
green stamps resulted from the can
collation. of plans for book No. 5
and because they are more easily
distinguished from sugar stamps
than the spares. Green stamps
should be carefully preserved and
will be validated in the following
order: N8 to rs, N5 to rs, NJ to
Z2 and Nj to II.
Industrial rubber footwear is no
longer rationed. 1t is the fifth
commodity group to be freed from
ration control since the surrender
of Japan. Other commodities prev
iously released were gasoline, fuel
oil, oil stoves and processed foods.
Rubber boots and rubber work
shoes are now off the ration list.
