The emergency farm labor
program was discontinued on
December 81, 1947, and all farm
labor activities have been trans
ferred from the county extern
sion office to the Montana
State Employment service, it
was announced this week.
The end of the farm labor
program was due to expiration
of the act of Congress which
provided for it.
Farm labor placement actiyi-
ties will be continued by the
State Employment service,
which has offices in the Big
Horn county courthouse.
w. j. Brekke, former emer-
gency farm labor assistant, has
been appointed senior inter-
viewer with the the State En-
ployment service and will ham
die all farm labor recruiting
and placement work. j. E.

local office, which also handles
other employment activities.
No plans have been an
nounced to date regarding the
TRANSPORTATION, recruitment and
placement of imported labor for

all night and eats earthworms, crayfish, tad

fur like muslnat's, fiat tail like beavers

male platypus has spurs on his hind legs, like

in 1922. The Bronx Zoo got it, too but it
wasn't a problem because it only lived 49
days. Last summer the Zoo got three more
and it looks as if they're going to live forever.
They do their living in thing called
Platypusary, right in the center of the Zoo
This contraption is AZ feet long and in the
middle of it is shallow swimming pool 81
feet long and seven feet, six inches wide.
AT home, in Australia, they had a pool q
feet long and eight feet wide. They pretty
nearly died before they got used to the
cramped living space in the Bronx.
They also pretty nearly died because the
wall around their pool was only three feet
high. AT home it was four feet.

beyond all bearing he does three things: he
rolls over and over in the water, he scratches
himself continually, and he refuses to eat

Of all the thousands and thousands of wild

Cecil has been eating frogs for nearly two
years now, in captivity, but he still doesn't
know what frog looks like.
Platypuses feed under water with
their eyes shut. They nuzzle around until
they touch something that feels like
food. Then they snap a beak over it.
The Bronx Zoo used to put three frogs in
the pool every night and usually Cecil ate
them all. Sometimes if he wasn't hungry he
passed one up. but that didn't mean anything
IN particular. Consequently the platypus
keeper thought nothing of it one morning

the patient substance that will
make him sick when he does
drink. He is then given consid-
cradle quantities of liquor of
all types to drink. with occasion
al drinks of water. In spite of
vomiting, he is kept al the drink
ing for approximately half
hour at time for four or five
consecutive days.
DR. Kolb said that during such
half-hour treatments, the patients
consume several gallons" of
liquid none of which stays in
bodies. He pointed out the pro-
cess is unpleasant and very sire
nuous. After several days they
develop a "strong revulsion" to
liquor and the idea of liquor.
Treatment Voluntary
After finishing the "recondi-
tioning" process and other ply
siotherapy treatments, they are
released if thought to be suffi-
GENTLY cured. However, they are
asked to "refortify" themselves
by coming back after few
months to take a single treat
ment.
Social workers keep. track of
the released patients to see if
they continue to make progress
or revert to alcoholism. DR.. Kolb
stressed the point that the treat
ment is not forced on anyone and
is given only to those found to
be physically capable. He said it
is not considered beneficial to
alcoholic-insane people and is not
given to them.

Huge Microscope
To Aid Research

SEATTLE (U.P.)-New areas
of scientific research, have been
opened at the University Of
Washington with the installation
of a $4,000, six-foot high cleo
tronic microscope.
The massive instrument, used
in the university's engineering
experiment station, is capable of
magnifying objects to $4,000
times their actual size. Speci-
ments that are mere specks un-
der a conventional microscope
spread to postage stamp dimen-
sions under a potent electronic
beam.
In preliminary tests the new
instrument revealed glimpses of
hitherto unknown details of wood
structure, it was announced by
Prof. Bror L. Grondahl of the
forestry products laboratory
The giant microscope owes its
phenomenal charging powers to
the short wave length of the
electron-100, 900 times shorter
than the wave length of visible
light.
Beams of electrons are propel-
led through a vacuum chamber
by force of $4,000 volts. Lens
shaped magnetic fields take the
place of glass lenses. The pow
erful electronic beam, controlled
by the magnetic lenses, is
passed through the specimen,
throwing an enlarged image
onto a fluorescent plate.
There, the image, looking sim
liar to X-ray projections, may be
examined or photographed.
Scientists have found the photos
can be enlarged to provide
picture 100000 times the size of
the microscopic specimen.

Rosser Urges
Driving Caution
As School Starts

Raleigh.-Landon c. Rosser,
North Carolina Commissioner Of
Motor Vehicles, this week issued
an appeal to motorists to take
special care in their driving
since the opening of schools for
another year.
The Commissioner pointed out
that many accidents, perhaps
fatal or permanently-crippling
to children, may be avoided by
safe driving. A full account of
Rosser's statement follows:
Summer vacation days are al
most over, and North Carolina
school children will soon be re-
turning to their classrooms.
Thousands of boys and girls
are starting school" this year,
and parents are sharing the ex-
citement of this first venture in
to the big outside world. AS
parents send their children on
their great adventure, they are
hoping they Will learn the les
sons and master the skills that
will help make them happy and
successful through life.
We, as motorists, play an all
important part in the future of
our school children. We can de-
term .e whether or not there
will be empty seats in the class
rooms. There is no real safety
for our school kids as long as
there is a thoughtless, irrespon-
slble motorist on the highway.
AS long as children are chill
dren, the ultimate responsibility
for their safety rests with US
grounups. The best trained child
