ROTARY CLUB SEES NEW
.RESUSC|TATOR OPERATE

A demonstration of the Laurel
fire departments new resuscitator
was given Tuesday at the weekly
meeting of the Rotary club by r.
H. Sterrett, member of the fire de-
partment and the club. The life
saving equipment was acquired dur
ing the past year at a cost of sew
eral hundred dollars. The firemen
invited community organizations to
assist in the purchase, to which
they have literally responded.
The resuscitator is the last word
in equipment of it's kind and is
capable of serving two victims of
suffocation at the same time. 1t
supplies pure oxygen or a combina-
ton of oxygen and carbon dioxide
to the lungs, can serve as an arti-
fetal breather and can pump out
water, blood or other fluids that
may obstruct breathing. 1t has ap-
planes to take oxygen to the lung
should the victims tongue close the
passage.
A variety of causes produce stop
page of breathing: paralysis (includ-
ing polio), electric shock, and forms
of suffocation. In suffocation are
included drowning and fumes and
gases.
The resuscitator can serve temper
arily as an "iron lung" for victims
of paralysis whose breathing mech
anism has been injured. In case of
drowning it can remove water, phlem
blood from the lungs upper tubes
and supply oxygen in regular pulsa-
tions to stimulate breathing. Should
a fireman and his rescurer be over
come, the two can be served SIM
ultaneously.
The equipment is for the use of
everyone in reasonable distance,
Sterrett said. 1t would be practical
BILE to go as far as Park City or
Silesia. AS minutes and even sec
onds are often the time element be-
tween life and death, depending on
he amount of residual oxygen in
he victims body, the distance in
and the length of time should
lot be great.
The resuscitator can be operated
Indefinitely. Should its supply of :
run out it can be connected
o commercial oxygen tanks, avail .
lble at shops, garages and many !
The connection can be made :
without i%nterrupting the operation. I
Sterrett said the machines use
an be had by calling the Laurel :
telephone central office as for a =
ire. All members of the fire de- .
'artment are familiar with its oper- =,

FIRE MARSHAL URGES
PREVENTION Of LOSS

The Laurel Woman's club met
Monday afternoon at the hdne of
Mrs. w. X. Simmons. A luncheon
was served honoring Mrs. M. F.
Crawford, who has been elected pres
ident of district 6.
A highlight of the meeting was a
talk by Fire Marshal Gainin of Bill
lings. He spoke on fire prevention,
and said that the greatest aid in
preventing fires is by educating the
public on the necessity of preserv-
ing property and life. Matches in
the hands of children is the cause
of the largest number of fires, and
parents should see that their minors
are careful, and should cooperate
with the authorities in all fire pre-
.vention work, Mr.. Gainan said
Pamphlets were distributed to the
members to get their interest and
to help them spread the idea that
something must be done to lower
the loss of property and the loss
of life. Fuel, oxygen and heat are
necessary for fire. Fuel and oxygen
are present everywhere, but if heat
can be controlled it will help in
preventing fires, it was pointed out.

VenturesOme Turtle
Strays 1000 Miles
From Down YOnder'

Queer things turn up in Laurel
and vicinity. Latest is a turtle that
strayed some 1000 miles from the
usual habitat of his relatives and
was caught in the Yellowstone river
by Wesley Henley, son of w. w.
Henley. He is displayed in the
window of the Laurel Trading COM
pany. Had he stayed with his kind
he would still be in the mouth of
the Mississippi river or other waters
of the deep south.
Wesley turned to local biologists
for Identification of his find and
they told him it is a southern soft
shell turtle (Amyda farox, according
to %Schneider) a variety which occurs
in the rivers and lakes of the south
ern states from South Carolina to
Louisiana. Instead of a hard shell
he has a semi-hard covering that
is leathery fore and aft, which he
closes tightly when he wishes. Other
turtles have hinged front and back
doors. Although soft-shelled turtles
are aften found here, young Henley's
discovery is differently colored and
marked, which identified him as a
s%outherner, sub. Blood c~irculates in
his covering.
The biologists said he is an ex-
swimmer, which may be the
reason he is so far from home. He
IS carnivorous and a vicious fighter.
The experts added that he is very
good to eat.

SPEAKS ON
AMERICAN "REDISCOVERY

There are some magic talismen for
not only preserving America but
also for making it a still greater
country than it already is, DR.. Viii
liam d. Copeland, president of Bill
lings Polytechnic Institute, averred
Wednesday when addressing the
Laurel Kiwanis club on "The Re-
discovery of America" The address
was given Immediately after Consti-
tuition day and foreshadowed Column
bus day.
With President w. A. Ziegler pre-
siding, Chairman j.. w. Baldwin of
the program committee sketched the
background of the various church
identified schools that are now rep
resented in Rocky Mountain college
and Billings Polytechnic. The first
was Presbyterian sponsored and
opened in 1883 at Deer Lodge, he
said. 1t was known as Montana col
lege. In 1893 the Methodist church's
Montana Wesleyan college was
launched at Helena, with which the
college at Deer Lodge later united.
AS Intermountain Union the college
moved to Great Falls. The Poly
technic began in 1908 at Billings and
enjoyed the patronage of the Con
gregational church. To it eventual
ly came the college from Great
Falls. For the past year DR.. Cope
land, formerly vice president of a
college at Lake Forest, ILL.,, has serv-
ed as president at Billings.
The speaker said that Columbus
did not rightly know where he was
or what he had discovered when he
landed on American soil nearly five
centuries ago, and many Americans
do not know the power their coun-
try possesses or vision its future
greatness. The later arrivals know
and appreciate the meaning Of
Free" a word so often used in de-
the land.
The first talisman DR.. Copeland
listed was individuality, the right
# citizens to think, plan and act
Is individuals. He warned against
90 great accomplishments of in
Iividualism Of government, beyond
he necessity for common welfare.
Because many of the people have
'ecome urban dwellers they have
ost much of the freedom they en-
Dyed as rural residents, a condition
hat leads eventually to crime and
Their undesirable features of con-
He defined individuality as
aith in self.
Another talisman was faith in
'ork. From early times the resi-
ents of America have worked to
erve themselves and others. Cope
and urged that a condition of open
areers be preserved and that talent
e discovered.
Faith in others was also listed as
talisman, which is also brother
God and the recognition of the
in all races and colors. In

BEET HARVEST IS
SET TO BEGIN IN
DISTRICT SEPT. %
State Average Is Forecast At
12.5 Tons Per Acre, With
Total Near Million Tons

The 1947 sugar beet harvest in
this factory district will open the
morning of Monday, Sept. %, Ly-
man H. Andrews, factory manager
of the Great Western Sugar COM
pany, announced Wednesday in Bill
lings. He indicated it may be a
partial opening, "due to the shortage
of labor and the necessity to COM
plete the bean harvest in certain
areas" Some of the receiving sta
tiOns may not open the first day.
The Montana weather and crop re-
port, released Tuesday at Helena,
said an average of beets is expected
and that harvesting of sugar beets
had begun in Blaine county.
Both beets and beans are late
crops, as are potatoes, with the beet
harvest running we'll into the au-
tumn. The past season as a whole
has been favorable for beets in Mon
tana districts. August, for which
statistics are now available, con-
tributed to the crops production
prospects. The yield is forecast at
1875 tons, according to the state
report, and with the increased plant
ings this year the anticipated 975.-
000-ton production will be the larg-
est since 1910.
The bean crop is in the harvest
stage in the vicinity of Laurel, with
the prevailing wet weather doing
it no good. The Montana WELD is
expected to be 378,OO0 bags, $4,000
more than last year due to a larger
acreage.

Secretary of State Marshall said

tries.
This composition of the commit
tee, Gen. Marshall said in letter
to 80 members of the House, would

size, he added: y
I'VE feel that the committee
should have neutral character, so
that the members would be able to

Gen. Marshall's letter was in re-
sponse to an inquiry by the 80 House
members for information on the
State Departments position at the
present stage of American con-
sideration of the Palestine question,
which is largely one of whether to
let displaced European Jews migrate

Gen. Marshall said it would be
