MEDICAL EXAMINATION
LAW EFFECTIVE JULY |

On and after July 1, 1947, in ac-
cordance with Chapter 208 of the
1947 Session Laws of Montana,
every applicant for a marriage Ii
cense in the state of Montana must
file with the clerk of court or any
person authorized to issue marriage
licenses, a certificate stating he or
she has obtained a medical examin-
alton, including a sociological blood
test for syphilis, from a physician
duly licensed to practice medicine.
The examination and blood test
must be made within twenty days
of the date of issuance of the mar
riage license.
Briefly, the procedure is: The ap-
plicant for a marriage license con-
suits a physician for an examination
and blood test. The physician sends
a specimen of the applicants blood
to an approved laboratory desig-
mating that it is for a premarital
test. The laboratory examines the
specimen and transmits a confident
ial report of the results to the phys
ician together with a certificate say
ing that such a test has been made
upon a given date. The results of
the test + not stated upon the GER
tificate.
According to the law, the ply
after careful examination of
the applicant and the laboratry re-
port then certifies upon the certif-
icate that he has made such an ex-
animation and has informed each
party to the proposed marriage CON
of the results of the labor
atcry report. He then presents the
to the applicant, who after
it, may present it to the
clerk who issues the mar
iage license.
Any duly licensed physician in any
tate or territory may be consulted
forms provided by other
'tates having comparable laws will
'e accepted for persons who have
'een examined and who have re-
eived blood tests for syphilis out
ide of Montana provided that such
ests were made within the 20-day
'eriod mentioned: Blood tests made
outside the state must be made in
n approved laboratry which includ-
S only official laboratories main
aimed by a state or territory labor
tories of the U. S. army, navy or
ublic health service.

ELECTRON|CS' MAJOR
ROLE IN WAR IS TOLD

The present and Immediately pre-
ceding generations may be termed
by future historians as the intro
ducers of the electronic age. Spur
red by the necessity of war and
drawing on an accumulation of in
formation acquired in peace time,
scientists of allied and axis coun-
tries did much with vacuum tubes
to carry the second World war to
completion. Most of the work was
performed by industrial engineers
and their staffs of researchers and
technicians in laboratories and pro-
duction centers far from arenas of
battle where their material was used.
Some of this was described Tues
day by R. B. Sturtevant of the
Coast to Coast store, guest speaker
addressing the Rotary club on
"Electronics at Work" He was
presented by Merritt Williams of the
June program committee. Clyde
Cromwell, junior past president, pre-
sided.

language, and because of the my
Rad uses of electronics he discussed
only a few applications. Before
going to the Honeywell concern dur
ing the war he had been with
Western Electric and had an ex-
background in e~lectronics.
The top secrets in the field were
so closely guarded that even two or
more concerns attempting to CO.
operate in certain items hesitated to
reveal their specific knowledge.
Sturtevant was concerned to quite
an extent with production of motors

and radar. Both were hush

Officials Investigate Origin of
Blaze That Claimed Pa
mela Siegfried, 3

Fire in a two-room apartment in
the 600 block on Juniper avenue in
the east end Of Laurel claimed the
life of a child, Pamela Siegfried,
g., about 10 D. m. Wednesday of
last week. Two others, Diana, 2,
and Freddy, 5, brother and sister of
Pamela and children of Mr.. and
Mrs. Fred Siegfried, were severely
burned.
The mother was also the victim
of decorations and burns, as were
neighbors, Mr.. and Mrs. John A.
Kelley of an adjoining apartment,
and Tennis Milligan. Mrs. Siegfried
and the two surviving children were
rescued.
Laurel firemen, summoned to the
scene, arrived soon after 10 o'clock
and found the apartment in flames.
They succeeded in preventing the
blaze from spreading to other
apartments.
Diana, most severely burned of the
two surviving children, was taken to
a Billings hospital while Mrs. Sieg-
fried and son Freddy were treated
here.
Mr.. and Mrs. Siegfried expect to
leave Thursday for Aberdeen, Ida,
where the funeral for Pamela will
be held Sunday at the Church of
Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.
Diana, who is in St. Vincent's hos
pital in Billings, is expected to have
recovered sufficiently by the end of
next week to permit her being taken
to a Pocatello, Ida, hospital. Mr..
Siegfried, who was employed here
as a truck driver and was away
home when the fire occurred,
indicated Wednesday of this week
hat he would seek employment in
The family has been staying

Old Horse Tent Stake
Recalls Contracting
Job Of Al Years Ago

A horse tent stake that was used
in 1906 by the late Jim Phillips,
Laurel contractor, while doing a rip
rapping job on the Clarks Fork river
near Silesia came back to Laurel
this week. 1t is about two and a
half feet long and has an iron fer
rule around the top, driving end.
B. A. Sherrow, ST., then a young
ster, worked for Phillips at the time
of the rip-rapping. The outfit used
horses for power, and required a
sizeable herd while it was camped
the Guy Weber place. When
Phillips completed his work and
moved on, one of the long stakes
of the horse tent was left in the
ground.
Weber told Sherrow about finding
the stake still at the location of
the construction camp of al years
ago. This week he brought it to
town and presented it to Sherrow,
who may have been the person who
drove it into the ground in 1906.
Old-timers recognize what it is,
but the moderns require an explain
of its use. The stake is dis
in the office of the Fenton
on First avenue.
