More than 200 friends express
ed hearty congratulations and
best wishes for continued good
health and happiness to MI. and

guests spent almost $55,000,000
in the Treasure state.
This year a number of inter-
esting facts were determined from
the return cards given to the Wis
itors. A little more than 1000
of these have been tabulated to
date. Although no specific ques-
lions were asked pertaining to
Montana highways, 1000 of the
visitors volunteered information.
OF that number, 1900 stated the
highways were in good condition
and were better than the high
ways in neighboring states. The
largest number who said the
highways were not in good condi-
ton travelled through during the
early summer months, during the
flood season, and before highway
maintenance crews were able to
make necessary repairs.
"This is the first year." Maxey
said, "that Montana has advert;s-

CONFERENCE
OPENER "a To 0
OVER ANACONDA
First Team Rests This Week
While Second Plays In
Billings-Butte Next

The Laurel Locomotives on
their home field Friday made it
three for three and No. 1 in
conference play with a convincing
shutout score of "a to 0 over
the Central Catholic IL from An
aconda. Laurel tailed in every
period, but failed to convert for
extra points when chalking up
its third win. The visiting Cen
trail squad never seriously threat
ened and not once penetrated in
side the Laurel 20.
Laurel chose to kick in the
first period and the line play
forced Anaconda to punt on the
fourth play of the game. Laurel
then started a sustained drive
that began on its 3S-yard line
and which carried it on the
ground to the opponents 20. A
lofty 20-yard toss by Bill Sorg
to Jim Phillips end, and a three
yard carry gave the first score
of the game. Phillips placement
was wide.
The two clubs battled on even
terms for the rest of the first
half until the las minute of the
game. With Laurel on is own
40 and with one and a half
minutes remaining, Bill Sorg
broke through the left side of
his line, reversed his field and
galloped 60 yards to pay dirt.
The pass from center went high
and killed the chance for the
extra point.
The second half saw Bob Kass
take over at quarterback and with
a series of sneakes and passes
take the Locomotives down to the
line. Another sneak
through the middle made the
count 10 to O. Another wide
kick kept the score without a
conversion.
Bill Paronto, who played at
fullback in the place of the ankle
injured Dick Nelson, showed some
fine running in producing th.l
score of the game with a
sweep around his own
light end. A line plunge failed
oy a few inches and the final
score was tailed at "a to 0.
The game was fast throughout
md although the score "a much
favor of the home club the

continually. The defensive line

.ANALYzES RADICALS
BEFORE K|WAN|ANS

A discussion on who are radi-
Gals and what is radicalism was
presented Wednesday evening at
the Kiwanis club by Paul Nc
Cormick, office manager for
Pierce Packing company, Billings,
who took his inspiration from n
quiz he had recently read in a
popular magazine and which open
ed a number of questions that r
controversial with many people,
or can be made so with skillful
argument.
The list of statements Nc
Cormick used illustrated that u
commonplace condition can be
elevated into Importance as a
focal point for divergent opin-
ions, with the implication that if
change be made the altered COM
monplace can change the conduct
and affairs of individuals and
even many people. AS change is
sometimes confused synonymous
ly with reformation, it was in
ferred by some that the speaker
evaluated ever-present agitations
for change as constituting a per-
tinent question, a word used earl
Ter in the program by those par
ticipating in a round-robin of in
Productions.
The illustrative test statements
were on a variety of subjects,
such as all children should begin
school at age g., all men should
ties, capital punishment
should be abolished, and a num-
Der of others involving customs,
habits, adoption of a new
religion, and 20 or more others.
Mccormick repeated the answers
he himself had made to the prop
ositions, with his explanations.
Some he approved, others he OPP
posed.
The conclusion answering the
question, Who is radical and what
is radicalism? seemed to be those
who depart from normal, and
that which is not normal. The
word normal appeared in this in
stance to be akin to usual, aver
age or majority. The guest
speaker said in effect that every
one is at times and on some sub
jects more or less radical, de-
pending on the condition he finds
himself in.
The introduction was made by
Pres. w. A. Mccormick calling
Russell, program chair
man, who after a few remarks
,alled j. w. Baldwin, who re-
and called George Nc
Cormick, brother of the speaker,
Who spoke briefly and recalled

OTHER PROPOSALS
United Effort For Playing
Field MISUNDERSTANDING
Pool, Filtration Scanned

An extensive discussion of thu
Laurel ball park that is now vir-
tually completed, a projected
swimming pool, and a filtration
plant for the city water supply
occupied most of the program
Thursday evening last week at
a general meeting of the Laurel
Commercial club. About &c
members attended the session,
preceded by a dinner, at the
Odd Fellows hall on West Main
street.
Pres. Oliver Void announced
that a national affairs commit
tee had been appointed the pre-
ceding Monday at a meeting of
the board of directors and that
some work has been done on Sc
curing easements for the north
road.
He reminded the members that
a major football game of the
season will be played here Fri
day evening. Four games are to
be at home and two in other
towns. The nearest of the lat
ter will be in Bozeman. The
club adopted a motion to provide
bus transportation for the Lau-
rel school band as support to
the gridiron team. No action
was taken on a proposal to also
provide transportation for a
cheering section.
Sec. D. A. Nottingham report
ed receiving a letter from a nea
by commercial body which told
of a fly-by-night advertising
proposition that had been oper-
ated there at what appeared to
be a high figure.
A request for a discussion of
the new ball park caused Paul
Void to rise and give a summary
of the work that has been done
there and of the projects fin
ances. He mentioned the contri-
buttons of time and energy that
had been made by Mayor Peter
Thomson and called by name a
number of others who had mater
tally aided the ball park. Help,
he said, has come from every
source, consisting of many things
and services that money could
not buy. He expressed the opin-
ion that perhaps no one wanted
special credit, but called attention
to the fact that the proposal or
iginated in the Commercial CLUB
almost two years ago, that money
had been raised by soliciting
business people and the general
population, with magnificent re-

EDUCATION VIEWED AS.
CURB ON ROAD DEATHS.

Teaching young people to
properly drive automobiles helps
much to reduce injuries and loss
of life on streets and highways
in those communities where the
effects of the teaching has been
tested, for the young people serve
as critics of elders who violate
the rules of the road. Effects of
the youth training soon spreads
throughout the community, said
Capt. Glen Schultz of the Mon
tana highway patrol as he dis
cussed highway safety Tuesday
at the meeting of the Rotary
club.
Wayne Hageman introduced the
captain, whose topic was "Driver
Training" The national picture
is bad, the speaker said, with the
loss of life between $4,000 and
10000 annually. A portion of
the toll is from faulty condition
of the vehicles, but the greater
percentage is from driver failure.
Analysing the human part of the
equation, Schultz said it has
been found that the lack of 81
don't want to do it" is partially
responsible; drunken driving is
another cause; plain ignorance
and poor practice are perhaps
the greatest.
Contrasted to the skillful driver
who skins through traffic at high
speed can turn on a dime and
only occasionally has a chash, is
the slow-reflex driver who makes
a cumbersome turn but has not
had an accident in 20 or 80 years
of vehicle operation. He of the
slow reflexes knows his limita-
tons, doesn't want to do it,"
keeps out of congested times and
spots as much as he a and is
not interested in maintaining his
right of way.

These, he said, include: 1. Pro-
lection for the sick and wounded
and their transportation to safety;
and, 2. Respect for the remains
of the dead and for funerals.
The message also asked guar
