UNIT HERE SEEKS
1000 X-RAYS FOR
DISCOVERY Of T.B
Outfit Begins Work Wednesday
At High School In Campaign
Against White Plague

A new transportable X-ray unit
to detect tuberculosis and other
chest ailments went into operation
here Wednesday morning at the
Laurel high school in a detection
campaign that will continue through
Dec. II. The Montana tuberculosis
association and the state board of
health estimate there are 1000 x
rayable Laurel people of more than
IL years of age. The two state or
CARNATIONS and the sponsoring Lau-
rel Kiwanis club seek complete at
tainment of the goal.
1t was originally planned to set
up the equipment, which is not a
mobile unit as was used here last
year, at the Commercial club build
ing on Main street, but conditions
were such that it was later found
best to change the location to the
high school.
The first two grades of school
children were X-rayed Wednesday,
to be followed in succeeding days
by other pupils and as many adults
as possible. In addition to detect
ing tuberculosis, other chest condi-
tions such as enlarged hearts, are
sometimes discovered in time for
corrective measures to be taken. The
X-rays are free and reports are
confidential.
The unit employed here, never be-
fore used before coming to Laurel,
is part of the sustained. continuous
battle on the part of the Montana
tuberculosis association, board of
health and cooperating civic eorgani-
cations to reduce to a minimum the
toll of deaths taken in Montana by
the white plague.
The sponsoring Kiwanis club is
being assisted by the Boy Scouts
who distribute advertising and
pamphlets and the Laurel Woman's
club which arranged the schedule
and takes care of the secretarial
work. A. M. Dolven, chairman, and
DIR. w. A. Mccormick are the COM
representing the Kiwanis
club.
Time for taking the X-ray pic
is less than a minute. There
IS no ~disrobing. The slogan of the
campaign is "What you don't know
IAN hurt you"

NORTHERN PACIFIC PAYS
ITS GREATEST TAX BILL

The 1947 tax levy on Northern
Pacific railway operating properties
in Montana is the largest in COM
pany HISTORIAN increase of $44O,-
900 or % per cent above 1916.
This was revealed in an announce
ment by E. A. McCrary, railway tax
commissioner, st. Paul, that checks
for the first half of the $2,194,O53
property tax bill of the N. P. and
its subsidiary, the Northwestern
Improvement company was in the
hands of various Montana county
treasurers Nov. 80. The second half
will be paid by next May 81.
In addition, McCrary said, North
ern Pacific will pay nearly $780,
900 direct to the state treasurer for
Improvement company coal mines
license tax and an undetermined
amount for property, gas and oil
taxes of the Northern Pacific Trans
port company, another wholly-owned
subsidiary.
For the first time in history, N.
P. taxes for state school support
exceeded a million dollars this year.
The total school levy was ~S1,277,676,
of which s1,185,501 is for element
airy and high schools and s92,174
for the state university. This whop-
ping figure will pay for schooling
of 5,269 pupils at an average of
1925 per pupil and for PIG college
students at an average of s42O per
student, McCrary pointed out.

Women Of so Nations

Mrs. c. c. Ferguson was hostess
Monday to the Laurel Woman's
club at a meeting at her home, at

weather of 20 degrees below zero
Except for one kettle a day no one
has hot water in Denmark.
England was Mrs. Bucks next
stop. She was kept so busy with
a schedule she had little opportun-
ity for sightseeing. AS the English

CRISIS IN EDUCATION
VIEWED BY PETERSON

Education continues to face a cris-
is, the full effects of which will
not be felt until some years hence
when elementary, grammar and high
school students enter the arena of
adult life or go on to institutions
of higher learning, said Axel G.
Peterson, president of Eastern Mon
tana State Normal school at Bill
lings, addressing the Rotary club
here Wednesday. He was introduce
ed by Fred ". Graft, program COM
mittee member.
Peterson, who switched from a
training in agriculture to become a
teacher of teachers because people
are more important than hogs"
made two strikingly unusual state
ments. The first: Young people of
the central great northwest have
been found to be different from
others and many will be leaders
in national and world affairs in
the future. The second: A danger

Save While We Have II

Americas annual per capita in
come has hit an all-time high.
Twelve hundred dollars each year
for each one of us, men, women and
babies. No people in the world, in
Guiding ourselves, ever before have
enjoyed ca such an income. 1t Is
fine while it lasts, but what of to-
morrow? 1t was not many years ago
when wheat was selling at so cents
a bushel; cotton at five cents a
pound; hogs from So to 81 hun
dred; when corn went begging at 30
to 40 cents bushel. Yes, prosperity
is fine, but let us remember some of
the yesterdays and prepare for the
possible tomorrows. If we will but
stick away a fair portion of our
$1,000 per capita income rather
than spending it all for fur coats,
diamond rings, high-powered auto
mobiles and other non-essentials we
did without when wheat was selling
at so cents a bushel, we will have
something to tide us over the rough
spots should we again strike them.
The time to practice thrift is when
we have something that can be
saved. We do not have to go on a
spend-it-all binge just because we
are prosperous.
Because of money advanced on
government guaranteed loans to
buy houses the government within
the next five years will have many
thousands of homes on its hands.
Then there should be home bargains
available.
With the highest wage scales
we ever have known; with more
people working than ever before
In our history, even in wartime,
why do our relief costs continue
to 60 upward instead Of down.

Will Bust Follow War Boom7

Will Bust Follow War Boom7
r EMEMBER the prosperity we
~ enjoyed Immediately following
World War I? Everybody who want
ed to work had job. Wages were
high. The farmers had So bushel
wheat, with all other farm product
prices in proportion. So long as
those prices prevailed, continued
payment of interest on farm mort
cages was possible.
For some two and half years we
sailed tranquil sea, with a fair
and steady wind. Then the squall
struck. 1t was not a hurricane, and
did not last long.
From 1924 to 1929, five years,
we went up, and up, and up.
Never had we known such pros
perity (?) as of those five years.
The stock market doomed. Mil
lions were getting rich (?) on
paper by buying stocks on mar
gins. Any stock, even those fall
laci0us insult issues, were clam
ored for. and were always on a
bull market.
We we're assured by both business
and political leaders that our pros
perity CD was to be permanent;
that America never again would
know the need of pinching pennies;
that the conditions we then were en-
joying would continue.
That was city condition in
which the man on the farm was
not participant. As early as
1925 Europe had passed the buy
ing stage, and the United States
had ceased to buy for European
consumption as it had during
and for a time after the war.
Wheat had dropped to 81 or less
bushel, and 81 wheat would
not pay interest on that farm
mortgage.
AS late as January, 1929, a few
weeks before he left the White
House, President Coolidge assured
us America never again would sink
into the morass of depression; that
our continued prosperity (?) was as
sured for all time. There was no
ClOuu LII Tie SKY.
1T CAN HAPPEN AGAIN
Then in October of 1929 the hurri-
cane struck. 1t was not another
short-lived squat, but a real twist
er. Overnight it swept away that
paper wealth (?) so many had con-
sidered inexhaustible riches. Indus
trial production largely stopped.
Jobs were gone. Prices of farm
products dropped even lower. Banks
failed by the thousands. Tens of
thousands of farm mortgages were
foreclosed.
That hurricane was the after
math of World War 1. 1t had
taken more than 10 years to
strike America. Before that it
had created havoc in Europe,
and had we watched the inter-
national barometer we might
have expected it to strike here,
but we were living in a fools
paradise and did not prepare.
Will history repeat? Will the
aftermath Of World War II be
hurricane for America? Should
the rest Of the world go down,
we will 60 the same way. We
could drown in our efforts to
save the rest of the world.
There is one thing we, as individ-
uals, can do to help keep us out of
the breadlines should catastrophe
strike. We can save something for
those possibly black days, out of the
abundance we have today. The
growing savings bank balances is
evidence that we are saving, while
the ever-growing personal loans to
finance installment purchases is evil
dence that many may be headed to-
ward personal disaster.
