K|MAN|S TO AID BAND
IN BUYING UNIFORMS

Laurel Kiwanians at their dinner
meeting Wednesday evening express.
ed interest in outfitting the Laure'
high school band with uniforms and
agreed to do its share towards that
end. The subject was presented by
John G. Billings, band instructor,
who listed three values of uniforms,
told how far financing had progress
ed, and asked the clubs assistance.
Billings said he thought the need
was obvious: (1) for appearance of
which the band members could be
proud, (2) for ~bolstering morale and
spirit of the players, and (3) for
attracting the favorable attention of
younger students who later could
be nor easily recruited.
Under financial problems he said
the cost of uniforms has greatly in
creased, selling now at $45 to $50
each. The band will need 45 uni
forms at a cost of about $4,000. The
school board has indicated it would
be willing to spend $1,000, but not
all this sum is available now-$7OO
will have to come from the new
budget next June. Of the S1,100
balance, the Rotana club has con-
tributed 500; four individuals-P.
A. Johnston, H. l.. Moon, Wayne
Hageman and the Board of Trade
have given $3.50, and some money
vas derived from a recent school
carnival. The subject of band uni
it to be presented at a meet
ng of the Commercial club this
week with the hope that a contribu-
ion will be made by that body. The
club members said they
would do their part in assisting the
project and Billings was advised to
rider the outfits before a pending
rice rise becomes effective.
The club set the third Wednes-
lay evening of succeeding months
IS ladies' night, with special pro-
rams to be arranged for those oc-
asions. The new president, DR..
v. A. Mccormick, said the board Of
irectors had ordered birthday par
les each month and that these would
e combined with the visits of the
Members whose birthdays
ccur in the month will pay a penny
or each pound of weight. This will
up the club funds. .

In a period of nearly six years,
beginning April 1, 1912, and end
ing Dec. 81, 1947, new constructions
of all types in Laurel, remodeling
jobs, additions and the moving of
houses to new locations totaled
nearly 81 million. The actual figure
as determined by City Engineer
Eyer, assisted by City Clerk Hohen-
dorf, is $945,642.
In the 69-month period 139 new
homes were constructed and SO
others were remodeled or received
additions.
Last year the city laid approx
mately two miles of water mains
to serve 240 lots and about one
mile of sewer line to serve 179
lots. The number of new water
services connected between Jan. l.,
1916, and Dec. 81, 1947, was 2OS.
The construction, remodeling and
addition figures were obtained from
building permits granted by the
city council.
In 1912, the year following Pearl
Harbor, only three new homes were
constructed at a total cost of $10,-
300. Three additions cost $3.50,
nine garages with additions, S4,437;
two tool sheds, $575; II grain stor-
age buildings, $500, and there were
two moving jobs for which the cost
is not listed. The total for the
first complete war year was $21,262,
for all building dwindled to a trickle

The year 1913 saw one house
moved into town and remodeled at
a cost of $1,000. There were three
additions, $500; two store additions,
Sits; two garages, $500; one
chicken house, 5000, and two gar
ages repaired, $3.50. One other
building was moved. The total was
s4,275. {
In 1914 materials were very scarce '

he people at home were more in r
crested in buying bonds and the
outcome of the war than in new {

2,218; three warehouses, $4,000;
i've garages, $10,4255 and two t
hicken houses, $175, a total of v

New houses sharply declined in l;

the best interests of the people
of Montana and America.
Recently, when the contro-
versial peacetime CONSUMPTION
bill was before the house, Representa-
tive Mansfield, in probably one of his
finest speeches before that body, not
only vigorously opposed its enactment
on the grounds that g. compulsory
peacetime draft will wreck the insti-
tutions upon which America is
founded :" But also pointedly
brought out how much good could be
done for America if the money to be
spent on the draft, instead could be
used for constructive purposes here
at home.
Here is Representative Mansfield's
talk as reprinted from Congressional
Record of June II, page SITS:
Mr.. MANSFIELD. Mr.. Chairman, l
am opposed to the imposition of
peace time draft on the people of the
United States. | am disappointed
that the Congress did not adopt my
amendment to the measure now under
consideration which would have
drafted excess profits at the same
time we drafted boys for the armed
services. Why do we think it right
to draft our manhood and wrong to
draft the profits which will follow as
a result of this military program?
Surely, if an emergency exists which
calls for the drafting of our youth, no
one should expect to make excess
profits out of such a crisis. Every
body in this Chamber knows that my
amendment represented the wishes of
the great majority of our citizens.
The way to stop wars is to take the
profits out of war.
