na-UP)-Montana unemploy-
ment benefit payments for the fis-
cal year ending June 80 totaled 40
times more than the sum paid out
IN the previous comparable per
iod, according to the state unem-
ployment compensation commission.
The commission reported $5,808,-
366 was paid out for the l945 -46
year, compared with $l42,380 in
l944-45
Broken down into the different
types of benefits, the board said
state unemployment compensation
payments totaled S828.566, compar-
ed with 1874 the previous fiscal
year, while unemployed veterans
allowances scared to $2,77l AL from
the previous $4,000.
Self-employed veterans allowan-
ceS were S1,458369. far above the
$50, 1876 paid out in l944-45, while
payments to civilians by other
states totaled S75000O, compared
with $4,000 the preceding year.
The commission said the increases
were due mainly to the end of the
war which involved the return to
Montana of thousands of veterans
and civilians. The employment de
mand dropped rapidly causing a rise
IN all kinds Of payments. the COM
mission said, although there was and
still IS a demand for skilled and
semi-sklled workers.
The demand cannot be met for,
the reason that during the war there S
was little or no training carried c
On for this class of worker. Also. @

CLOSE THE DOOR

In this day and age, even with all
the safety devices for fire pre-
vention, there remains the neces-
sity for quick thinking and acting
by individuals when fire strikes.
Many articles have been written
on the Importance of knowing when
not to open a door when fire threat
ems a building A little advance
thought or training on this subject
can save an individuals life. If
you awaken from a sleep and smell
smoke, your first move should not
be to jerk open the bedroom door.
instead put your hand on the door
panel If the wood is hot it means
that the hall beyond is charged
with lethal heat and gas that can
kill almost instantly, and that the
stairway is probably cut off from
use Escape should be made by a
window if possible, or at least call
or help from window. With a
'!osed door between you and the
ire you have every chance of sur
living until rescue comes.
Next to the Importance of not
pening door is the importance

there fire is raging, if he doesn't
tut the door the fire is liable to
vertake him before he can make

ses. sugar beets, sugar beet pulp
and sugar beet seed are exempt

The commission said the specific

would take place between July l

increase was suspended by both the
ICO and state body in 1913 because
the income of carriers was believed

nothing in his life so muea as his
acceptance of Malsot's invitation

on second thought, he wouldn'

had about finished my literary
masterpiece when the inspector
walked in, accompanied by Hunt
and Assistant District Attorney
General James Wortley, the friend
through whom Hunt had managed
to be assigned to the case.
They were fresh from a ques-
tioning bout with Polly, and the
effect of it still showed on their
faces in quickly suppressed grins,
each time his name was men
toned.
But they made it clear at once
that they had no intention OF
bothering me again with questions,
and had only stepped in to tell
me 1 needn't go to the district
attorneys office to make a formal
deposition. It would be taken here
at the apartment or in my Office,

A little later, over the cocktails
Claire had mixed with consurn-

in confidence, the approach to the
investigation would be different,
