1947 Montana Legislature, the
state unemployment commission

cent of payroll.
This measure is designed to
raise two-thirds as much revenue
as formerly, and maintain the
unemployment sinking fund alb
owe Is million dollars. 1t now
totals 1914 millions.
Concerns who have had fewer
layoffs will get the benefit of the

proximately 20 per cent effective
March 81 with the maximum
weekly non-veteran payment,

District OKs Added
School Mil Levies

District 6 supported improved
schools by five to one vote last
Saturday when they approved 49,
mills special levies.
On the proposal that the grade
schools receive added support of
10 mills, the vote was 161 to IS,
and on the question of more mills
for the high school the ballots
were 1862 to 33.
Only Shelby among the Mon
tana cities voting on the matter
of special school levies appeared
to have turned down added school
taxes. Under the present Mon
tana tax structure, there appears
to be no other way to increase
support of schools.
Columbia Falls to Essex voters
were well out in front for demon
strating school support, and few
districts chalked up as high a
percentage of the voters favor
ing more funds for teachers sa-
larias and school maintenance.
Culbertson approved its levy
40 to 16; Glendive (19 mils) 247
to 1903; Whitefish high ITS to SO
and grades 1872 to A (total Is
mils), and Kalispell 538 to 226 on
n mills. County seat and rural
voters turned down building
bonds by almost two to one.
New member of District 6
school board is Henry w. Hutch
ings who succeeds H. A. Chatter
ton. Teacher contracts are the
first matter of a new business
for the board.
Results of the school board
vote canvass held Wednesday ev-
ening shows:
Columbia F'alls-Bussey IL;

AMONG THE
HOMEMAKERS
THE NEW OFFICE

The week of March 10th was an
interesting one for the Home Dem

tary, as they lived betwixt and be-
tween the old office and the new.
Mrs. Crawford and Miss McLuckie
carried the responsibility of the
moving, for Miss Turner has her
daily schedule for the "a clubs to
meet. The business office was set
tied first as this room had been
painted and made ready for them.
There is still much to be done when
the larger work room has the book
cases painted. Books and equip
ment can be permanently stored
when the work has been completed
THE Coat SCHOOL
AS it was necessary to have the
work room ready for the final day
of the Coat and Suit School, the
authorities worked very hard to
have the room ready. The walls
were painted a lovely peach color
the new battleship linoleum was
laid and waxed. The work tables
were placed. A long table once
used in the old Courtroom was
given the Extension Office and a
new top of linoleum was put on it.
This will be of real value as a ta-
BILE for cutting garments on, or for
several girls to work on in food
lessons.

hope the weather man will come
through with something really
springlike. We can still lift our
eyes toward old Sugar Loaf and
see snow on "them thar hills

We heard of no planting of po-
tatoes on Monday st. Patrfck's
Day our garden, through plowed
last Fall in anticipation of early
planting, was frozen hard. Roof
tops were filmed with light snow
which fell fitfully during the
morning. To add to the gloom
many radio announcers assumed
an Irish accent for the day.
Readers who enjoyed the trip

write us. Richard Lansdale and

dens, near Mobile and took in
some of the sights of New Or
leans. Mr.. and Mrs. Roger B. Far
quhar, of Georgetown, planning a
trip South consulted us on places
of interest. Mr.. and Mrs. Calvin
Owens, of Brookeville have long
hoped for a similar trip, Mrs.
Owens tells US.
This paper, like most weeklies,
gives small space to murder cases
those cases receive great public
ity from the dailies. Comments
heard on every side, place among
the classics remarks by Judge
Charles w. Woodward Saturday
morning after he had sentenced
Bobby Snyder to life imprison-
ment. Prevented by a sudden death
in the family from being present
in the court room we quote a few
lines from the Washington Post.
Comparing life to athletic COM
petition, in order to make sure
the boy would understand, Judge
Woodward said: you have stated
that you felt that your parents
were too strict on you. You must
remember that there are rules for
everything. In basketball or foot
ball games they have definite
rules. When you violate one of
them you are penalized, and when
you violate one sufficiently you
are put out of the game. So it
is with life =. :. you have violated
the rules of society sufficiently to
be put, out of the game.
"In conclusion the Judge said:'
l am told that you have several
talents .. do not feel that your
life is to be complete blank from
now on / hope that you will
develop those talents of yours so
that you may become a useful
member of society if and when
you are returned to it,"
We hope the several persons
who have written or telephoned
the editor of the Sentinel regard
ing the fate of the young man will
read these remarks carefully, we
