ROTARY HEARS REPORT
ON BOYS STATE WORK

Assuming that an old saying,
Learn by doing" still holds true,
the American Legion again spon-
sored Boys State and also Girls
State this year in Montana to
permit young men and women
still of school age to learn the
mechanics and spirit of democrat
ic government. Wayne Hageman,
Jr., one Of the youths chosen
from Laurel to attend Boys State
at Dillon, gave a recital Tuesday
at the weekly Rotary club meet
ing that indicated the boys quick
ly caught on and were soon
adopts at political maneuvering.
1t seemed they also got an insight
of the spirit of American gov
eminent. and of studied non-in-
reference with each other by the
legislative, executive and judicial
branches.
Boys State lasted about a week
and apparently was an interest
ing as we'll as an instructive X
perience for those attending from
over Montana. The set-up con-
sisted of miniature local and
statewide governments, with
many candidates seeking and be-
ing elected to office. Even be-
fore the contingents arrived in
Dillon it was quite evident that
many young men were being
strongly urged to run for office.
After the excitement of win
ing and losing came the serious
business of satisfactorily admin
istering offices. In this the youths
had counsel from their elders,
one of whom influenced a lower
court to such an extent that the
supreme court reversed the dis
trict court. /
Young Hageman was introduced
by John w. Corwin, himself an
experienced legislator and former
member of the Montana state
for several years.

Sports-loving Laurel people who
first began using and enjoying
their new athletic park late this
summer when for the first time
they saw baseball played at night
under lights on a home diamond,
will now see their boys in the
1948 edition of Locomotive grid
sters play also under the lights
in class A and non-conference
football. The new seasons first
home game is slated for Friday
night this week, according to
coach Glen Anderson who has
been grooming his heavyweights
and sprinters, during which this
years Locomotives have added
some new plays. The Forsyth
Dogies will offer the opposition
at the game here Friday.
Fans will also see the Loco
motives new football uniforms,
the first the team has had in
seven years, of all-gold nylon.
The Laurel squad cannot say
that the approaching game will
be a first win of the new season,
since that was chalked up last
week at Powell, Wyo., 81 to 0,
Anderson said. However, the
boys don't want the game to
be their first loss either, as
sometimes happens on big open
ing nights.
The Forsyth team will be
heavy and is expected to "throw
lots of trouble the Laurel way"

Some of you, it seems, would like

How can we find out?" asks one
correspondent.
Well, the simplest way is to check
with one of your pals who has been
to the restaurant or club. He or she
can tell you what was worn.
But if it's new place, the surest
way is to phone directly. Simply ask
if evening dress is required. Most

When formal dress is requested

you and your date and the rest of
your party. You'll probably rate a
better table and more attention from

dressing: so, if the rest of your crowd
