taxpayers to Vote
On School Mill
Levy on April Il

Mrs. E. w. Riebeth, clerk of
School District 17-H, announc-
ed this week that taxpayers in
the district will vote on a spe-
cial mill levy at an election to
be held on Saturday, April 26.
The polls will be open from
IL noon to 6 pm. and the poll
ing places are Davis Greek
school, Hardin grade school,
St. Xavier school, Crow Agency
school and Wolf school.
At issue are levies of 10
mills for the elementary
schools and five mills for the
high school. These additional
taxes will add about 100000 to
funds for the grade school and
SIS, 1000 to the high school bud
get. Money will be used prin-
cipally to raise teachers salar-
les, and also for other opera
ton and maintenance costs.
To cast a ballot in this ell
ection, it is necessary to be a
qualified voter in School Dis
trict 17-H and to be a tax
payer.
1t was pointed out by school
officials that it is essential that
teachers salaries be raised to
maintain the quality of the
teaching staff. The school dis
trict has been operating on a
pre-war budget and costs Of
all materials and labor for
maintaining buildings, as we'll
as expenses for scool supplies,
are much higher than they
were in previous years.
Local teachers presented the
salary schedule recommended
by the Montana Education as
ISOLATION at a meeting of the
board of trustees of school dis
riot 17-H recently. The board
and school administration
wishes to meet this schedule.
it was stated, but can do so
only if the mill levy is passed
Wages paid teachers under the
plan, which is backed by M.
E. A. locals in the state, are
based on years of education
after high school and exper-
fence.
Average salary for high
school teachers under the new
schedule would be approx
mately $3.50 a year and for
grade school teachers $2,760
The reason for the difference
in salary is that local high
school teachers have more
years of education on the av-
erage than do the elementary
instructors.

Sloan Speaks on
Mosquito Control
AT Lions Meetinq

Mosquitoes" was the topic
of Carl Sloan, when he gave
ar address before the Hardin
Lions club at it's regular meet
ing Monday evening in the
Masonic temple.
Sloan, who served with the
Navy in the South Pacific dur
ing the recent war, has had a
great deal of experience in the
control of insect pests.
He outlined a plan which
should rid Hardin of mosquit-
oes and volunteered to direct
the operations if he was given
cooperation. He suggested that
the Boy Scouts might be en-
listed to survey the area
around Hardin for all stag
nant water in which the in
sects breed. These should then
be sprayed either with diesel
fuel oil No. 2 or some other
spray, such as DOT. Accord
ing to Sloan, 100 gallons of
diesel fuel or SO pounds of D.
DIT. would be sufficient to
treat water for a mile on
either side of Hardin. Spring
is the best time to start a
campaign against mosquitoes,
Sloan pointed out. All breeding
places should be sprayed while
the insects are still in the en-
bryonic stage.
Following Sloan's talk, Dale
H. Davis called attention to
the public melting of the Har-
din Chamber of Commerce, tn

room of the court house at

Up and
DOlUn
the Street


the air-minded members of the
citizenery, owe a debt of graft
tude to Thomas D. Campbell for
his very able presentation Of
the case for improving the local
airport before the county COM
miSsioners last week.
We have no desire to detract
from the really good work done
by the Chamber of Commerce
airport committee. They had a
good proposition to present and
took all the initiative in pre-
senting it.
It was Campbell with his Air
Corps experience and his clear
and forceful way of saying
things, however, who showed
how important it is to us here
to at least get a start on build
ing an acceptable airport in
this air-minded age. For that
we all thank him.
At any rate, our county air
port is going to have a real
face lifting, with the work be-
ginning before the summer is
over, if no hitch develops in
the plans, and we think it is
high time.
The first sunSlliny and fairly
dry Sunday in the spring al
ways aWakens and makes vivu-
lent that insect that is the
bane of many wives and arous-
es a high fever in many of the
males and a few of the females
in almost any community. We're
referring to the golf bug, and
he was a busy bug indeed last
Sunday.
He bit almost all of the con-
flrmed and a few noviceS. Just
about everyone who owned Or
could borrow a set of clubs was
on the course.
Incidently, the course is in
excellent condition for this time
of year. It should provide a
great deal of enjoyment for the
community again this year. Oh
yes, we forgot to mention it,
but the bug got to us, too.
One thing we've often wanted
to give credit for is the driving
courtesy of the operators of the
big crOsS-country trucks on our
highways. Maybe those heavy
trucks do pound up the roads,
but just the same, they have
their value.
Not too long ago, we met one
of them among several curves
on the way to Billings, and we
noted a yellow light flashing
on the front of the radiator.
We figured there was some
highway hazard ahead, so we
slowed down, and sure enough,
around the next bend another
truck had broken down and
was parked on the highway.
Many, many times, drivers of
big trucks have motioned us
ahead, given us the signal that
the road they have. just been
over is clear, or indicated that
we'd better slow down because
of some sort of danger. We've
never had one edge us as we
passed.
We figure as long as the
drivers are so helpful, the
trucks have a real right to use
the highways.
Tribune Herald advertising
really gets results Witness the
ads we ran a couple of weeks
ago for rags. We are delugea
with them, not that we are
unhappy about it. However, we
have about enough now. Anyone
else who wants to sell us rags
is urged to hang onto them for
a while. You never know with
prices fluctuating the way they
are at present-maybe they'll

Details of New B-36 Bomhers
Disclosed by Army Air Force

WASHINGTON.-Army air forces
said its new six-engine B-36 bomber
could carry an atomic bomb to any
inhabited region in the world and
return home without refueling in
the event of an enemy attack"
An official statement giving de,
tails of the bomber, which has been
described as the worlds largest,
said production had started at the
Consolidated -Vultee plant at Fort
Worth, Tex.
The plane is designed for a nor,
NAL range of $1,000 miles with 10, 900
pounds of bombs without extra fuel
tanks. At lesser range, the air forces
said it could carry Sc tons, more
than three times the capacity for
the same distance of the B-29.
A new type landing gear is ex,
pected to distribute the bomber's
278,000 = pound weight over eight
wheels. Six 28-cylinder pusher type
engines developing a total of $4,000
horsepower will permit the bomber
to attain a ceiling of 10000 feet.

No Wings or Engine,
But Gyro-GIider Flies

SCHENECTADY. - A jeep.
whizzed down a flight runway and
launched into the air at the end
of a 100-foot towrope an aircraft
with no wings and no engine.
The new aircraft, known as the
GE gyro-glider, is flown with the
aid of two nine-foot rotating
blades. 1t works like an auto
gyro without a power source.
An announcement said it was
the most revolutionary develop
ment to date in the glider field.
The gyro-glider weighs only 100
pounds but can lift a cargo of
nearly 300 pounds. It's designers
said it can land on a spot not
more than so feet in diameter. 1t
has a descending speed less
than that of a parachute.
