|MPARTS CONVENTION
VIEWS ON EUROPE AID

The highlights of a recent trip to
Atlantic City, New York and Chi
cago were given by B. M. Harris,
president of the Yellowstone banks
at Laurel and Columbus, who spoke
Wednesday at a meeting of the Ro-
tary club. Other members of his
party making the journey were Mrs.
Harris and Mr.. and Mrs. B. Meyer
Harris. The primary object was to
attend a convention of the American
Bankers association at Atlantic City.
The speaker said he experienced 10
interesting days and obtained many
new ideas.
In Chicago, en- route east, the
party had three hours and hired a
taxi for a brief inspection of the
city. Visiting a used car market
that was filled with 1947 automo-
biles, the Laurel people inquired
prices and found a Ford sold for
$4,000, a new Buick worth about
$4,000 was listed at $4,000, and
other new cars had similar black
markups. No Chryslers were
observed. The operator said he
formerly had been in the banking
business in the west, but his present
was more interesting.
The small banks in Chicago, which
are big by some standards, serve a
luncheon for visiting firemen, which
he Laurel people and other Montana
bankers with them enjoyed. They
;aw the LaSalle hotel, where a dis
fire occurred some time
lgo. One member of the party had
zen the fire. The visitors found

distances on snow or ice are three

vide needed traction for getting
under way or climbing a grade.
Other special winter equipment in

Citing research by the National
Safety Council, Supervisor Sheridan
reported that in many snow belt
states last winter, nearly 65 per
cent of all traffic mishaps occurred
on snowy or icy road surfaces.
Foremost factors in the high

K|WAN|ANS MAKE TOUR
Of PARK VIA SLIDES

Scores of colored slides illustrat-
ing a recent field study of biology
and its kindred sciences, botony and
geology, the latter a branch of bio
logy that deals with the mutual re-
~lations between organisms and their
environment, were exhibited Wednes-
day evening at the meeting of the
Kiwanis club by William F. Hohei-
sci, professor at Eastern Montana
Normal school in Billings. The
locale was Yellowstone park. The
expedition, a pioneering move in
education, was composed of ID young
men and women who were preparing
themselves for the teaching profess
sion.
Hoheisel wished to take them
away from the four walls of the
class room and have them study
nature, biology particularly, in the
great outdoors. After five weeks of
preparatory study in school the
young people, accompanied by Ho-
heisel, spent 25 days in the park.
The trip was made in a bus provid-
ed by the state. Although they were
there to study, and spent much of
their time off the beaten tracks,
they also had some pleasure at the
various camps and made contact
with other groups from out of state
who were there to study also.
The experience afield gave the in
vestigators an overall view of the
main and related subjects, difficult
to obtain from books and lectures
alone. The expedition, which re-
quired long and careful planning and
preparation, proved exceptionally
beneficial.
The flora and fauna were studied
at close range, as were the influ-
ences of erosion, extremes of tenn
perature, rainfall, and of course
Even the influence of
man was noted, a Striking example
being the animals that have become ]

were warned today by SUPERVISE
Charles l.. Sheridan of the Montan;
highway patrol.
"Face the threats of wintry
months ahead in confidence that
your vehicles are in tip-top shape
particularly from the standpoint Of
safe driving" he advised. "Prepar.
ing an adequate defense will help
you prevent causing accidents and
traffic tie-ups. It's no fun to have
mechanical failures, an accident or
get stalled at any time, but it's
doubly disheartening to run into
trouble in bad weather and then
realize that a little timely care would
have prevented it."
Items requiring pre-winter check
up were listed as follows:
Brakes-Be sure they are equal
Windshield defrosters and wipers
muSC De seen W De dNOIu-
ed when the weather is cold or
Tire chains-Have them ready to
use when NOW or ice conditions get
bad.
Exhaust systems-Check for pos
defects and carbon nonoxide
leakage into car.
Electrical system-Inspect to pre-
vent added moisture of winter caus-
.ng short circuits.
Headlights-Check for proper
and aim, on both bright and
lin beams. Remember that lights
nay be needed during the day when
NOW storms develop.
Tires-Good treads are highly de-
because they are of great
lelp on wet pavement. Rubber
:hains" won't aid on packed snow
ice. Only metal chains will bite
nto packed snow or ice, according
o National Safety Council tests.
In addition to putting this stand
