Expect To Lash Streams To FrOth

As independence day falls on
Monday this year most Laurel
people will have a double holi-
day, and although no group OBJ
servance of the day is planned
in Laurel signs Of prepara-
ton for a long week end
can be seen as the fishermen go
over their tackle and prepare for
a jaunt to their favorite streams

been firing a few fire crackers
in preparation for the big noise,
and there is the usual demand
for camping and picnicing equip
ment.
The leaders Of the various
civic and fraternal organizations

fact that the Fourth of July is

Quoted by Betty Warden, county
public health Nurse When the
clinic closed Monday ths records
showed that a total of Al chill
dren had been given NEGOTIATIONS
for diphtheria, whoOping cough
and small pox.
When asked to explain the
and services of the
health nurse, Miss War
den stressed the point that her
services were part of the state
health program and, though free,
are not charity services. One of
her major services is health ed
ucation. On the level of chill
dren, she operates through the
medium of the schools, but the
education program is al
so directed at parents, particu-
toward the goal of teach
ing the Importance of regular
physical examinations. Among
her other services are home calls
pregnancies and the
teacher of home nursing tech
where necessary.
Miss Warden said that there
are now available to the people
Of Yellowstone county the serv-
.ces of a mental hygiene clinic, a
cerebral palsy clinic, and a we'll
clinic. Miss Warden is in

pie in the area may contact her

MYKOFF TELLS K|WAN|S
OF RECREATION SCOPE.

The organization and scope of
the Laurel summer recreation
program was the topic of an adj
dress by Wilmont Wykoff when
he appeared before the Kiwanis
club Wednesday. The program
is designed, he said, to attempt
to satisfy the basic recreatiOnal
desires of all the people.
The activities at the play
ground are essentially inorganic
ed, as the program is arranged
to allow a maximum of individ-
uality by the people using the
facilities. Activities become or
ganized when there is a large
group participating in any given
sport, or when they m designed
to serve the age groups that
seek the more organized games.
Wykoff observed that since
Miss Shirley Wilson has been
working with the girls groups
there has been a degree of in
terest and cooperation among
them that is not generally found.
AS the recreation program is
designed to serve everyone and
not a few, Wykoff said that he
felt it should be tax supported.
He stressed that the program is
not selective and that any age
group can participate. One of
his suggestions was that adult
teams be formed to compete with
the children's teams in the or
ganized sports.
When asked how the program
could be enlarged, he suggested
the addition of mor units to
make it possible for the young
est children to participate in the
program without having to travel
too far; he stressed the safety
involved here. Another
suggestion was that the program
be- made year round and that
there be a local board to handle
The allotment Of time for the use
IF recreational facilities by such
groups as may desire them. At
his point he cited examples from
his previous experience to indi-
ate the desirability of a year
program. /
Guests at the meeting, which
featured a pot-luck dinner, were
Ben Bethke and Edward Jones.

In its quest for the B state

TOURIST TRAVEL
LESS THAN HOPED
Survey Here Indicates Out
Of-State Tourists Are
Fewer Than Year Ago

An informal survey of the
opinions of business men in Lau-
rel who are directly concerned
with tourist traffic. indicates
that contrary to expectations the
tourist traffic this year is much
lighter than last year. The COM
PARSONS of this years traffic
to last years vary considerable,
but nearly everyone consulted
said that there has been a con-
siderable drop. Some say that
the number of tourists coming
through Laurel is so per cent
less than at this time last year.
People who have been talking
to- tourists from both the east
and west coasts say that there
is considerable unemployment in
both areas and that it is be-
lieved that this accounts in some
part for the drop in traffic. The
proprietor of one of the motels
in Laurel said that though he
usually operating at capacity, his
records indicated that his income
for June this year was down
somewhat from the same month
last year. He said the reason
for this was that the groups
travelling this year are smaller
than those last year.
A filling station attendant
states that early in the tourist
season there was a rush of bust
ness during the early morning
hours, but that of late this early
morning rush has decreased con-
sideTably. Service station oper-
ators report that they are get
ting along with smaller crews
this year than last.
Montana state highway patrol
men report that they believe the
traffic on the roads to be light
er this year. Police officer
Woods reports that at the hour
of 6 a. m. on June 6 he count
ed 125 tourists cars passing the
police station in eight minutes.
This would tend to indicate heavy
tourist traffic, but most people
consulted say that there is a
rush of traffic in the morning
that drops off rapidly as the
day progresses.
The consensus among those con-
is that the tourist trade
is definitely lighter this year
than last, but the comparisons
Of the trade this year to last
year vary a great deal. Accur-
ate figures on tourist travel are
lacking and it is consequently
impossible to make accurate COM
PARSONS. The figures kept by
the officials at Yellowstone park
merely indicate the usual weekly
fluctuations in traffic so far and
be used to give an overall
of the tourist situation.
