"TO Check Accidents
Double Check Car"
Says HighwayP PATROL

Improved vehicle maintenance
habits can reduce traffic acct
dents and fatalities in Montana,
according to the Montana high
way patrol, sponsor of a May
safety program, "To Check Acct
dents, Double Check Your Car"
Driving a safe car is as i'm
p~ortant to the life of the driver
and his family as safe driving
habits" supervisor E. H. England,
of the Montana highway patrol
said.
He urged every car and truck
owner to recognize his obliga-
ton to drive a safe vehicle by
visiting Immediately his favorite
garage for a double check of his
cars safety equipment.
This May campaign to double
check vehicles to check accidents
is part of the y%ear-round Opera
ton Safety program of the Ma
tional Safety Council. The Junior
Chamber of Commerce also is
participating in the May cam
paign.
Needed vehicle repairs are a
contributing factor in 16 per cent
of fatal traffic accidents through
out the nation, the National Safe
ty Council reports.
"Many drivers are knowingly
driving with defective brakes,
out-of-focus head lights and
faulty tires. Others may not be
aware of the unsafe condition of
their vehicles" Mr.. England said.
"But this month, when we are
starting to drive more, is the
time for all of US to put our
vehicles in safe operating condi-
ton as one means of preventing
traffic Deaths" says highway pa
troll officer.

FINALS
SET WITH

Laurel and Billings Central
meet Wednesday in the first game
of a two out of three series for
the district 7 baseball champion
ship. The second game is slated
for the Laurel diamond Sunday
afternoon at 2 o'clock. If a third
game is necessary it will be
played Tuesday night in Laurel.
Central shut out the Roundup
Panthers last week, a to O., to
enter the playoff with two
straight over last years district
winners. Chuck Dillon hurled a
one-hitter for the Central club
and vas the big sticker in the
game. Laurel split in its series
with Roundup two exhibition
games, and then routed both
Joliet and Fromberg to enter the
finals. The win yer Cody was
the fourth straight.

vided each game between Phil

Railroad Men Plan
Moke-Ovef Effort
nOIdtimeC oboose

ST. PAUL. - The sound anc
structure of the word "caboose' is
generally good for a smile, and tc
anyone waiting for a long freight
train to clear a highway, the ap-
pearance of the funny little a at
the end of the string invariably
evokes a laugh. For the caboose
is never streamlined, it always
suggests the possibility that the
carpenters built it of unused and
unwanted material and without the
benefit of a blueprint.
Like Chinese brass cash which
never carries a date, no n can
even approximate the age of a ca
boose as it clatters down the bal
lasted right of way in a cloud Of
sand and cinders.
And now the Order Of Railway
Conductors has set out to do some
thing not only about the outer ap-
pearance of the caboose, but its
equipment as well. 1t seems that
the ugly little car is more than an
architectural monstrosity. 1t is an
instrument of torture. So the ORC
has filed a complaint with the ILL
nois state commerce commission
charging that one of the common
carrier corporations has failed to
do a lot of things considered neces-
sary for the protection of the life
and comfort of those who T
forced to use the caboose as an
office.
Whether the charges against the
carrier are true or false, certain
ly anyone who has ever watched
a caboose for any length of time
could conclude from external APP
pearances that they may be just
as bad on the inside.

TRACK MEN WIN
FIRSTS AT POWELL

The Laurel thin-clads won the
honors last week at Powell, as
far as first places were concern
ed by bringing home the bacon in
four events. Depth was lack
ing, necessary to pick up
those important seconds and
thirds-particularly in the sprints.
The thin-clads had to be content
tc take third place.
Bob Times and Dick Nelson
repeated their one-two perform
ance in the discus that they
started a week earlier in the
Billings meet. In spite of the
rains and wind that prevailed,
Times winning toss went 124
feet. Nelson had revenge in the
shot put by edging his old ri
val, Spogen of Red Lodge, with
a toss of 43 feet. Spogen broke
the Billings stadium record last
week in beating Nelson, and also
is the interscholastic winner of
last year at Missoula. Clyde
Cromwell who added three inch
es to his high jump mark in
practice last week, came through
with a good leap of five feet
eight inches for the third first
place of the meet. Jim Phillips
made it No. A in the high hurdles
as three men raced neck and
neck. One member kicked over
his last barrier and knocked
down the other man at the same
time to let Phillips coast in with
an easy win.
Laurel enters the Rocky Noun
tain invitational meet Saturday,
along with some 20 other schools,
to wind up the season except for
those who have earned the trip
to the interscholastic at Missou-
la next week. Rocky Mountain
meet, formerly Poly meet, is in it's
thirty-fifth running to place it as
one of the oldest and best meets
in the state. Incidentally, Lau-
rel's Eddie Burke still holds the
meet record in the 440-yard run
at 1875, a full second better than
his state record that still stands
at Missoula and made the same
year. Times made throughout
the state thus far this season
indicates that the two records are
good for another year.

Cody To Open Season
Here Friday In
Improved New Park

The Cody high school Broncs
will meet the Laurel Locomotives
Friday night under the lights at
Athletic park in the seasons
opener on the new diamond. No
formal opening for the years
play is planned, but the fans
will note the added improve
ments to the park. A new growth
of grass just in front of the
grandstand and down the first
and third base lines, extending
slightly past the dugouts. is well
as the area in center field has
added considerably to the good
appearance of the park. The
base lines have also received a
new layer of sod bringing the
running paths to the level of
the grass.
Laurel edged the Broncs last
Sunday in the Wyoming city, 10
to II in a we'll played game
that was married only by the
heavy gusts of wind that swept
the diamond. Jim Phillips hurled
the first four innings on the
mound for Laurel, giving up only
two hits and four runs. Her
man Wagner had difficulty with
his control in the last three in
nings, walking nine men, but
stayed with it to the end as the
tying runs were on base.
Laurel opened in the first with
three runs and added three more
in the second to take a comfort
able lead. However, in the third
walks and a single, follow
ed by a long single that rallied
a home run, put the Cody
club back in the game. Laure's
came back and by the sixth had
l II to 4 lead. Cody took adj
vantage of the free passes and
vent into the last inning with
,nly a two-run deficit. With
,wo out and men on first and
Hageman knocked down a
lot grounder at third, picked up
he ball and forced the runner
retire the side. The win made
he seasons record stand at
our wins and one loss, the Joss
icing the first game of the year.

Wash Water

1t has been suggested that 160-de-
gree water will wash clothes
cleaner than 140-degree water. Tests
at the Virginia Polytechnic institute
have yielded this statement: "A
temperature of 100 degrees for wash
water gives best cleaning results,
but 140 degrees is nearly as good
and is recommended because it is
more economical to maintain in the
water heating equipment. Temper
atures above ITO degrees are not
recommended except where boiling
is done to sterilize white clothes"

Farm Homes Improved

Farm families have used Their
larger incomes to improve their
houses, says the bureau of agricul-
tural economics. The number OF
farm houses with modern bath
rooms more than doubled from 1910
to 1947 and more than a million
were supplied with running water.
Much remains to be done. In April,
1947, two-thirds of the farm houses
still had no running water and four
ifths were without modern bath
rooms.
