measure since the program is
nearing a close. Six other dis
tribution centers will be main
tanned by the memorial division

SPEAKERS VIEW
NEW INDUSTRIES
Representatives From Indus
trial Division Meet Here
With Commercial Club

Two representatives, Gerald J
Skibbons and R. C. Setterstrom
of the industrial development di.
vision of the Montana Chamber
of Commerce told members OF
the Laurel Commercial club al
a meeting Thursday evening Of
last week at the high school of
plans the state body has for
bringing desirable industries to
Montana and the part that in
dividuals and communities may
play in bringing the program to
full blossom. They told of work
done to date, new industries that
have been established and plans
for the future. Both men will
go to Washington, D. c., in early
December to confer with officials
and convey information on what
Montana has to offer.
The job of the program is to
seek ways to expand industrial
employment in Montana by eX-
panding mandatory based on
national mobilization needs. The
reason for this program in Mon
tana is that the present seems
to be a good time to take pru-
dent measures in every section
of the country to enhance mill
tary security. The responsible
ty for Montana's part in the pro-
gram was given the executive
committee of the industrial de-
velopment division at a meeting
of community, industrial, labor,
education and business leaders in
Butte Oct. Is and 16.
The first step was to get clear
and accurate information on what
Montana has, and the second was
to establish task forces compos-
of prominent men in each
major Montana industry.
Ten fields and their appointed
leaders are:
Forest products-Arthur w. o.
son, Missoula.
Petroleum and gas-Grover c..
Stevenson, Great Falls.
Mining and Smelting-Carl
Trauerman, Butte.
Metal working industries-Tim
