BOY SCOUT TROOP,
DENS REORGAN|ZE
Troop Is Sponsored By Metho-
dist Men-LeuthOld Chair
man, Representative

Boy Scout troop No. ID, together
with the Cub dens of Laurel, are
being reorganized, according to the
announcement of the trop commit
tee chairman and institutional rep
resentative, Albert E. Leuthold.
Both of these organizations are be-
ing sponsored by Methodist men
of the Methodist church, and this
J sponsoring group has elected the
following men as the troop and pack
committee:
A. E. Leuthold, chairman and in
stitutional representative, Paul Will
son, district commissioner; Clifford
Johnson, William Barnett, r. Merritt
Williams, Chester Eyers, Dewey l..
Hafer, Clyde A. Cromwell, Robert
Sturtevant, Leslie Lane, Lester Ger
ard, r. Leonard Ferrin, and Rev.
NJ. j. Wilcox. Two other men may
be added soon. This is the 1947-'4S
committee.
Sturtevant, Lane, Gerard and Fer
rim will work mostly with the Cub
program, and the other men on the
committee will direct most of their
interests toward the Scout program.
A subcommittee of four men are
now securing a scoutmaster and two
assistants, and the scout troop will
be meeting in the very near future,
probably on Monday evenings.
Cuumaster r. L. Ferrin has four
Cub dens functioning as follows:
Den No. l, with Mrs. Clyde Bray
as Den mother, Den No. 2, with
Mrs. Lester Gerard as Den mother,
and Mrs. r. B. Sturtevant assisting,
Den No. 3, with Mrs. R. L. Ferrin
as Den mother, and Mrs. r. Deaton
assisting, and Den No. 4, with Mrs.
Albert E. Leuthold as Den mother.
1t is likely that another den will be
organized.
Mr.. Leuthold explains that Laurel
is a part of the Nah-Pit-Sei (Bear
Tooth) District which includes troops
and packs in Park City, Absarokee,
Rapelje, Columbus, Red Point and
Laurel. Paul H. Wilson is the dis
trict commissioner of this district,
and he, with Leuthold, will repre-
sent Laurel at monthly meetings
as well as at the annual meeting of
the Yellowstone Council soon to be
held in Billings.
Both Leuthold and Ferrin suggest
if there are boys of either Cub
or Scout age who are interested in
this program, they may inquire re-
garding registration and being plac-
in a den or in the troop. Any
boy in the community is welcomed,
this is a COMMUNICATIVE Cub
and Scout program.
Paul Dudley, Scout executive from
Bozeman, has been here several
lines of late to help to reorganize
he local committee and give them
in what is expected of the
men behind the programs.

AIRS PROBLEMS OF
ROADS COMMISSION

The problems that arise from Mon
tana's great distances and thinly
spread population are serious to
those who have to do with planning
constructing and maintaining high.
ways in this state, A. w. Heidel
of Broadus, former president of the
Montana Bankers association and
now a member of the Montana
highway commission, disclosed at a
meeting Tuesday of the Rotary club.
There r many perplexing compli-
cations, several of which he briefly
described in his informal discussion.
He was introduced by B. Meyer Har-
ris, member of the months pro-
gram committee.
Heidel said he welcomed the op-
portunity to speak on the subject of
highways, for the commission wishes
users of the highways to know the
users of the highways to know the
commissions problems. He empha-
sized that he spoke only for him
self and that his opinions were his
own.
The state is divided into two
kinds of districts, financial and ad-
ministrative, as illustrated by a
large map the speaker displayed.
Laurel is in the eleventh financial
district. Heidel is from n of
the five commissioner districts.
Some years ago there was a con-
troversy ver what areas and in
what amounts money was to be
spent in the state for roads. The
result was the establishment of the
TWO kinds of districts, intended for
equitable distribution of funds and
satisfactory representation of the
people. Heidel represents the south
east section of the state.
An objection to the system is that
districts funds may be exhausted
when ar emergency arises.
The federal highway act of 1914
vas for the post war period, for
which the Montana commission was
preparing. However, the federal
bureau of roads visioned construc-
ion of secondary roads, similar to
he old farm to market" construc-
ions. An example is the present
to Lavina project. But,
aid the speaker, Montana had never
zen able to complete its primary
ystem, and costs have risen. AS
he federal agency contributes more
han so per cent and the state the
emainder, the state commission has
0 often be influenced by the federal
ody. Fortunately, the two have
'orked we'll together, but in effect
he federal body has the last say.
So, despite the primary system yet
ncompleted, Montana has to pay
ttention to Washington which also
epresents the thickly populated
in the east and on the Pacific
eaboard, states that have an abund-
nee of money of their own for
bad construction.
Most of the Montana equipment

cen added lately. A serious handi-
ap is the increased costs, and "our
loney is not getting anywhere"

Recruiting figures are being

said the present weekly rate OF
