Former Stars Of
L. HI. S. Shine On
College GridirOns

With the current football sea-
son rapidly drawing to a close
a look at the Montana colleges
show that the former Laurel high
school stars have been doing an
outstanding job for themselves
and a credit to their old alma
matters, all of which is of keen
interest to local fans who watch
ed them as prep stars.
Down at Eastern Montana
Normal in Billings three of the
mainstays hail from Laurel with
fullback Jack Milligan taking the
staring role. Jack who has been
the leading point maker for the
Yellowjackets for the past two
seasons has crossed pay dirt at
least once in every game this sea-
son as the Billings school racked
up its second Montana small con-
ference title in two years. Play
ing his first year with the Bill
lings team is end Rudy Phillips,
rated as the best end to ever
wear the Locomotive colors. AL
though hampered by injuries this
year Rudy has three more years
to go, a factor that causes coach
Oscar Bjorgam to think well of
his schools future grid prospects.
Playing at regular guard also is
Melvin Lackman.
Over at the University of Mon
tana campus the freshman grid
supporters are all excited over
the "find" in fullback Sonny
Void. Along with Sonny is
tackle John Smith who has pulled
down a travel birth with the
Cubs aggregation. Sonny worked
way from the tenth string
backfield, if such a spot for him
could ever be imagined by the
Laurel fans, to an unknown sub
making the travelling squad for
he first game against the Wash
ngton State Kittens. Going into
he game late in the last period
vas all the chance Sonny needed,
because he took matters into his
,wn hands from then on and
off a 68-yard gallop for
he second score of the game.
Since that time he has found his Z.
spot as a starter and
asst week was the outstanding {
performer on the field against the '
State College Bobkittens, running /
or So yards and 25 yards for &
wo more scores as well as a
1-yard run that carried him to v
he six-yard line. !

Children Earn
Praise For Aid To
Cripples' Hospital

E. j. Crosse, field representa-
tive of Shodair Crippled Chill
dren's hospital at Helena, was d
visitor at the Byam school re-
Gently in connection with the sale
of Red Heart tags. He praised
the project which Mrs. Ethel
B e d , promary teacher at
Byam, carried out with her third
and fourth grades last year.
During the sale of hearts she
had the children express them
selves by writing what it means
to them to sell the hearts. The
letters were then sent to the
Shodair Children's hospital.
Edwin Grafton, superintendent
of the hospital, sent the Bpam
children's letters to Mr.. Crosse,
who was then vacationing in
Cornwall, England. He was thrill
ed and used the letters in q
church sermon in Cornwall. His
trip to England was his first
vacation in ~ years and the first
time in Al years that he had Wis
tied his former home. He went
over on the luxury liner Queen
Elizabeth and returned on the
Queen Mary.
The children at Shodair hos
Dital wrote interesting letters
about what they were doing and
enclosed pictures of the hospital
and some of the patients. and
sent them to the Bvam children.

ANCIENT AND MODERN
BUR|ALS DESCRIBED

Preservation and burial of the
dead, declared to be mans Oldest
profession, was the subject of a
lecture delivered Wednesday eve
ming at a meeting of the Kiwanis
club by William Harden, local
mortician who described ancient
methods and contrasted them
with modern procedures.
The oldest of record, he said,
were those of the ancient Chinese
who dressed the deceased in reg
ular clothing, placed the body in
a casket and gave it an earth
burial. In another place an an
Gent tribe covered the body with
wax before burying it in the
ground, while another followed
out a stone as a container, placed
the body in the cavity and cover
ed the remains with honey. This
produced a perfect preservation.
The speaker told of other old
procedures using resin and oil.
The Romans kept the body
seven days, massaged it daily
with warm oil and on the seventh
day cut off the tip of a finger.
If there vas no bleeding the body
burned.
The Hindoos of India also
creamated the dead, though there
we're earth burials if preferred.
When a woman died she was
either cremated or buried, but
when a man died his wife was
cremated with him or buried
a practice said to be con-
tinued today in some localities.
Egyptian burials and prepara-
ton of the dead occupied six to
IL months for rulers and wealthy

were then wrapped in

The ruling class was given
elaborate and lengthy prepara-
ion. When a death occurred in
he family the relatives ran
through the streets. Friends came
o them to quiet their wailings
nd went to the house of the de-
eased. The body was taken to
he district temple and placed on
