offer to make him regent Of Po-
land. One such report said: "The
spiritual head Of Polish Catholics

Since the war, Cardinal Hlond

Girls Conduct Stamp Sale

Girl Scouts of troop II, assisted
by their leader, Mrs. w. A. Nc
Cormick, canvassed Laurel business
concerns last week to sell S166
worth of envelope sticker posters to
advertise Montana. The project was
offered the girls by the Laurel Com
mercial club, assisting the state
chamber of commerce which annual
ly issues the souvenir stamps. They
are reproductions of original paints
by Irwin Shope, Montana artist, and
are sometimes sought as collectors
items.
Forty per cent from the sale of
stamps will be given the Scouts to
place in their general association
treasury, to be used for Girl Scout
supplies and camp expenses.
A few business people not con-
tacted last week will be solicited this
week and a house to house canvass
will be made.

WINTER WHEAT IN
AREA IS R|PEN|NG;
RAINS |NJURE HAY
Most Of State Experiences Elk
celIent Growing Conditions
-Grasshoppers Threaten

Excessive moisture during the past
week has been detrimental to crops
in western counties, but growing
conditions were otherwise favorable
in Montana. With the exception of
a few local areas, crop growth was
average or better. Spring paintings
are now complete, except where
some late flax and mustard acreage
may be seeded to take advantage OF
the excellent soil moisture condit-
ions.
Heavy rains have caused some
damage to growing crops and first
hay cuttings in Glacier, Toole, Pom
dera, Teton, Lewis and Clark, Flat
head, Lake, Ravalli and Big Horn
counties. Occasional fields of win
ter wheat have lodged, especially on
bottom land. Others show evidence
of nitrogen deficiency believed to
be due to teaching below the root
level. A considerable tonnage of
newly cut hay is losing part of
its protein value because of eX-
cessive moisture. Although hay
producers west of the divide have
experienced this situation in pre-
vious years, the frequent rains this
season have induced several growers
to silo the June cut. In a few
localities where precipitation has not
permitted the first cutting, alfalfa
has a rank growth and is passing
the stage where full food value may
be retained in the hay. Summer fall
low work has been delayed through
out central and western portions be-
cause of wet ground.
Most winter wheat fields are now
headed out and in some instances
are beginning to turn. This is ap-
parent in Yellowstone and Carbon
counties where a large acreage was
planted. Spring wheat is advanc-
ing favorably and is beginning to
head in a few irrigated sections.
Labor has been short for beet
work in Ravalli county and some
beet fields appear to be beyond
saving because of delayed thinning
and excessive weeds. However, for
the state as a whole approximately
80 per cent of the beets have been
thinned.
Unless farmers take the necessary
steps to control grasshoppers, heavy
losses of crop in some localities may
be expected as the season progress
es. 1t was reported that hoppers
cleaned out 80 acres of mustard seed
west of Sweetgrass in Toole county.
The cool weather during June has
prevented appreciate hatch in most
counties.
Livestock continue to gain weight
the abundant supply of range =
feed and are in good to excellent
condition. ,

SPEAKER STRESSES
MORAL OBLIGATIONS

An article from the June sixth edi-
ton of the "New York Times Mag
azine" titled mot Dollars Alone
Faith Is Also Needed" hy DR.. r. B.
Fosdick, retiring president of the
Rockefeller Foundation, was read to
the Tuesday meeting Of the Laurel
Rotary club by Fred w. Graft. The
article points out the moral obliga-
tions that must be met before
Americas material contributions to
the world can bring about the peace
and security which men seek. The
article says in part:
"We are living on the edge of
a precipice, and the realization of
our position, and of the universal
disaster which could so easily e
take the %pretentions of modern man.
finds us confused, uncertain and
fearful.
Like all frightened people every !
where and in all ages, our first re-
is physical force and our in
stinctive faith is given to military
power. Let US grant at once that
in this unprecedented crisis a meas
ure of physical force is essential.
We do not live in a utopia and it
would be suicide to act as if we
did. Equally suicidal, however, is
the assumption that the crisis can
be met solely on the level of force,
or that power and dollars, placed
at the disposal of distraught nations,
constitute the essential elements of
the solution.
AT the bottom the crisis in the
world today is a moral crisis. i

MORAN SELLS TWO
Of HIS THEATRES
Jackson Of PlentywOOd Is New
Owner Of Royal In Laurel,
Park In Red Lodge

j. H. Moran announced this week
that he had sold two theaters, the
Royal at Laurel and the Park at
Red Lodge, to E. M. Jackson,
theater owner at Plentywood. The
transaction is effective as of July
/. Moran said he will continue to
live here and will devote his at
tention to the Motor-Vu theater, a
drive-in which he opened near Bill
lings this spring, and another drive
in theater at Idaho Falls, Ida, in
which he has a half-interest and
which also opened recently.
Jackson has been operating the
Orpheum theater at Plentywood the
past II years. At the time he
bought the Orpheum the theater in
Laurel was also for sale. He was
undecided which to take, but finally
chose the one in Plentywood. About
that time Moran bought the Laurel
property which he has since operat-
ed. Later he acquired the Park in
Red Lodge. Before going into the
theater business he was a fieldman
for the Great Western Sugar COM
pany.
Jackson said he expects to move
to Laurel in the near future. His
consists of his wife and a
laughter, a freshman last year at
Montana State college in Bozeman.
He will operate the Royal seven
lays a week and will have four
of shows each week.

Propose Weed Control
For Local Farm Areas
Petitions Circulate For Inclusion Of Land South,
North and West To County Line In Movement
To Eradicate NOXiOus GrOwths

Farmers are becoming more weed
conscious and as a result the weed
control work in this county is COW
ering more and more land, the Vel
lowstone county weed control office
said this week in an outline Of the
movements history, methods en-
ployed and the proposed creation of
new districts in the Laurel terri
tory.
The first district in the county
was created in 1889, followed by
others in succeeding years until at
present there are II, covering prac-
tically all the irrigated land of the
county except the area around Lau-
rel. Petitions are now being circu-
lated to include the land north,
south and west of Laurel to the
Saltwater county line, with the pros
pect that the new district may be
created before the spring of 1949.
Three new districts were formed
in the county earlier this year
Lockwood Flats and areas south
and northwest of Billings.
at is of great benefit to the land
owners to be in a weed district"
the county office said. "There is no
special assessment or other charge
if the landowner does not need weed
work done, but if he does var it
the county does the work and pays
one-third of the cost. Persons in
a weed district also have the priv
ilege of buying the chemical at cost
at the weed control shop"
The county practices two kinds of
weed Observation-Disclosures and
the use of chemicals. There are
four ~cultivators and three large
sprayers in operation at this time.
Two more sprayers will be in use
in another year to take ire of the
new work.
Cultivation is recommended for
large in~festations of Canada thistle.
which gives the land six civilizations
the year and in one years
time will usually clear a field. Two
three years are required for
morning glories, often called bind
weed. The chemical used is FAD,
good results on most nox-
ious weeds. Canada thistle and
Russian knapweed are harder to
kill with FAD, which in such l%nstanc-
is considered a control rather
than an eradicator.
The weed control work is under
supervision of Stanley Houck, COM
missioner, and a board of s%upervis-
ors consisting of Ishmael Yost, Paul
Roman and j. X. Mueller.
Due to the weather the weed
work is behind schedule this spring,
but the weeds are being combatted
as rapidly as possible. The county
weed control office urges farmers
in all cases to NOV or disk the
1oxious weed patches and on ditch

OF POWER
IS TOLD K|WAN|ANS

!. G. H. Calhoun, export manager for
the W~indcharger corporation Of
Sioux City, Iowa, spoke of the "Ro-
nance of Power" before the
Wednesday evening meeting Of the
Kiwanis club. He told how two Iowa
farm boys, nawar of previous at
tempts and failures of French eX-
perts, decided to attempt to harness
a generator to their windmill and
thus provide power for their radio.
Experimenting with various gear
ing systems, the boys met with no
success until they were inspired by
an article on airfoils and incorporat-
ed them in the design of the wind
mill vanes. After a great deal of
experimental work, the boys eventu-
ally developed a practical type of
vane and went into the business of
manufacturing them. At this point
their production was Limited to the
propelling devices, and those who de-
sired to use them were required to
procure their own generator usual
ly an old automobile generator.
A radio corporation decided that
the device had many potentialities,
bought the boys out and establish
ed a factory for windchargers SINH
lar to the one now manufactured.
Both of the originators now hold
high positions in the company, one
as chief engineer, and the other as
head of the research department.
Calhoun said that the most avid
advocates of this source Of power
are people in foreign areas. For
example, there are about 125 Of
these machines on Hudson bay posts
above the Artic circle. At the other
extreme, he spoke of an installation
the island of TERRA Del Fuego,
south of the Straits of Magellan.
Also, he mentioned experimental
work being carried on in the field
Of community power systems.

There was some question until
lately whether the Greenbrier,
which staged its gala postwar open
ing last Spring, would be available
for guests this winter. 1t will. The
management of this historic. world
known resort at White Sulphur
Springs made known its decision
last week. The announcement re-
vealed also that reduced rates will
be in effect. Tariffs" are being
cut So per person, American plan,
through the winter. The reduction
is expected to continue until about
March /.
A number of activities will be
continued through the winter, with
golf as the major outdoor sport.
Two of the resorts three courses
will be maintained for play through
out the season. Weather history in
that section of West Virginia's ALE
ghanies supports the forecast that
golfing will be comfortable on most
days, that snow seldom will prevent
play. Horses will be ready for rid
ing on pleasant days, and the in
door swimming pool is to be open
daily.
One of White Sulphur's foremost
specialties-the bath department,
stated by expert therapists - also
will be operated.
Chief activity in the immediate
ofing will center around Christmas.
During the week, the entertainment
will be directed to family groups.
The holiday program includes carol
singing around the Yule tree on
Christmas Eve. For the following
week, New Years Eve ball has been
planned.
Even now, two decades after the
restoration was begun, Colonial
Williamsburg is changing; each year
the capital Of Britain's Virginia
Colony reflects more accurately its
18th century appearance.
Future changes-some will be

noticed more readily by history's
