cause Of Game Shortage

Owing to a decline of approx
imately SO per cen in migratory
birds, ducks and geese, the shooting
season for 1916 has been reduced
to as days. The season will begin
Oct. 26 and will end Dec. 8. Shoot
ing hours have been shortened 80

Because of the shortage, ii states
have been closed entirely to the
shooting of geese. In other states
that have not been closed, which in
cludes Montana, the daily bag limit
has been reduced. The possession
limit has been reduced to one daily
bag limit.
The possession date for birds in
cold storage, or otherwise, remains
the same as last year, 80 days
after the close of the shooting sea-
son.
Montana has been placed in the
intermediate one this year, upon
recommendation of the Montana

STATE CHAMBER PLANS
AIR MAP, GUIDE MARKS

Helena, Sept. 4.-Printing of an
air map of Montana, to aid pri-
vate filters, and air marking of
Montana communities, were discuss
ed last week in Helena at a meet
ing of the Montana Aviation asso-
citation, air division of the Montana
Chamber of Commerce.
Several other states have put out
such a map, it was revealed, which
is proving of great aid to private
filters, both within and from out of
the states. Montana especially
needs such a map because of the
states great distances and various
types of terrain ranging from high
mountains to flat plains.
A project to mark Montana COM
munities with information designed
to aid filters was continuing at a
satisfactory rate, according to re-
ports, and most communities were
cooperating.
Date for the next convention of
the Montana Aviation association
was set for Nov. 81 and %, at a
place to be chosen later. The as
ISOLATION decided to act as host to
a meeting of the National ~associa-
ton of aviation officials in Butte
Sept. 1921, at which Major-Gener-
al Carl A. Spaatz commanding gen.
eral of the army air forces, will be
principal speaker.

resents a carload. After process
ing, the building material with
satiny fresh surface is loaded for
shipment to destination.
So far the waste, consisting of
%shavings and chips, is hauled away
and burned at the city dump near
the Yellowstone river. In time, part
of it may be employed by farmers
for livestock bedding and for other
agricultural and industrial purposes.
In some localities such matter is
used as fuel.

SOCIAL SECURITY NOW
INCLUDES VETS FAMILY

A recent amendment to the So
cial security act protects the fam
lily of World war II veterans ac-
cording to Glenn A. Gardner, man.
ager of the Billings office of the
social security administration. IN
der the amendment, which the presi-
dent signed into law Aug. 10, a
veteran who dies within three years
after being discharged from the
army, navy, marines or coast guard
will be granted an insured status
under the social security act and
his survivors may qualify for bene-
fits.
The qualifications for payments
to the survivors are:
L. That the deceased veteran must
have received a discharge under
conditions other than dishonorable.
2. The qualified survivors must not
be receiving compensation or pen
sions from the veterans administra-
ton. National service insurance
payments not considered).
3. The deceased veteran must have
died within three years of the date
of discharge.
a. The veteran must have had at
least 80 days of active duty after
Sep. 16, 1910, and before the Of
ficial end of the war.
Monthly benefits will be paid to
widows with children under 10 in
their care, to dependent children,
aged widows, or dependent parents.
In other cases lump sum payments
may be made.
Mr.. Gardner explained that these
payments may be retroactive to the
month of the veterans death, even
though his death may have occurred
several months before the law was
passed, providing the claim is filed
by Feb. 10, 1947, six months from
the date the amendment was sign
ed. Also in some cases where the
survivors of veterans qualified for
a social security benefit it may now
be possible for them to have their
payments increased by asking for
recomputation.
Mr.. Gardner said that it is not
necessary that the deceased veteran
have had previous credits under So
cial security or even a social secur-
number. He said survivors may
obtain full information on this re-
cent amendment by calling or writ
ing the local office, now located at
PIG Montana avenue.

Planning Mill, New laurel Industry,
Begins Operation Early This Week

A custom planning mill that had
been under construction since last
April by Ralph Ford and L. A.
Donahue went into operation here
Tuesday at a location on the North
ern Pacific r~ight-of-way west of
the railroad crossing in South Lau-
rel. The plant takes rough lumber
and large dimension material and
converts it into finished products
for building purposes. The capac-
ity is from $4,000 to $4,000 board
feet per day.
The mill is capable of producing
anything wanted in its classified
ton of work, including flooring.
Of the more than 20 carloads of
lumber now on the ground and
awaiting processing is a load of
redwood from California which will
be converted into siding. Most of
the unfinished material coming here
originates in mills located in west
r Montana, Idaho and Washing
ton. Customers are Montana lum-
Der dealers, and others as distant
as Iowa, Nebraska, Chicago and
Ohio. The mill is strictly a custom
plant. When operating at capacity
it is expected to employ about rs
people.
Ford was formerly local manager
for Pacific Car & Foundry COM
pany while operating in Billings.
Donahue at one time owned and
operated the Billings Sash & Door
company and has been connected
with the lumber industry most of
his life. The new plant here, he
said, will not do mill work.
Donahue said the greatest diff
he and Ford encountered
was assembling the equipment and
that in doing so he travelled 49,
600 miles, going on one trip to
Louisville, KY.
Major items of equipment are a
Yates 81 profile planer with six
heads and equipped with SO knives
when fully set up; a Mareen John
re-saw unit; two Ross lumber
equipped with 300 horse
power motors; conveyors bringing
in rough lumber and taking out
products; and a nine-foot
60-inch fan that is driven
by a rs horsepower motor to carry
away the shavings and chips. The
profile planer is driven by three
motors.
To power the plant, the Montana
company built a half mile
# heavy line from its s%ubstation
iouth of the railroad tracks at the
first underpass. .
