PREP PARATION- b Before
storing your garments in a
cedar chest be sure they are
clean and dry. Having them
dry cleaned first is good idea.
This is particularly true OF
mems woOlen suits, the folds,
cuffs, and lining of which should
first be carefully brushed.
Don't run a summer resort for
moths!
Each spring many an Ameri-
can housewife carefully packs
away her woolens and other
clothes for the season. She
thinks she has adopted all the
precautions to close her home to
the marauding moth only to
find next fall that she has been
operating Moth Manor, and at a
tremendous loss.
There are many ways to store
valuable clothing, but the best
method is to place them in the
popular cedar chests.
Members of the National
Cedar Chest Association, manu-
facturers of about 80 per cent
osf.he cedar chests of the world,
have drawn up prescribed set
of storage rules for the guidance
of owners of cedar chests.
Dry Cleaning Recommended
Just where the cedar chest is
located in the home is not OF
primary Importance, especially
today when cedar chests are be-
ing used not only for storage but
as decorative pieces of furniture
in the home. However, the chesl
should be situated in dry place
All clothes to be stored shoulo
be brushed thoroughly, includ'
ing lining and folds, and, if pos
sible, should be allowed to hang
in the sun and air for at least
one day. Dry cleaning of clothe:
is recommended
Cleaning also applies to al
clothes to be stored whether
they be linen, rayon, cotton OF
silk.
Woolen sweaters and blankets
should be hung in the air ane

Army Will Reduce Army-Operated Ships To Alaska

GAP Special Washington Service)
 WASHINGTON, (P)-The army says it has a policy of shipping as many of its Alaskan supplies as possible on commercial carriers, and plans to reduce the number of army-operated vessels in the Alaskan trade.
 This was brought out in let ter from Maj. Gen. F. A. Heile- man, army chief of transporta- tion, which Sen. Magnuson O. WashD made public today. Mag nuson had asked for figures on military cargo shipments to Alas ka in 1948.
 Heileman said that during the first eight months of 1948 private carriers handled 72 per cent of the l97, 1909 measurement tons of Alaskan military cargo. tA mea- surement ton is a unit of cargo freight, usually 40 cubic feet. During the last four months, with a west coast maritime strike tying up commercial shipping all but half a month, he said, army transports moved 93 per cent of the 63,488 tons sent to the Terri tory.
 He said commercial shipping costs to Alaska are S12.88 per measurement ton, with the load ing charge borne by the vessel Op- orator and the discharging costs by the army.
 On army transports, he contin- ued. the cost is S836 per ton, in- cluding S2 ton loading charge.
 From this," he said, ''it will be noted that the cost by army trans port is approximately 65 per cent of the cost by commercial carrier under relatively comparable con- ditions."
 | Heileman said that 1908 short tons were shipped to Alaska by military air in l948 while com- mercial air shipments were negli- gible. Army shipments in Novem- Der and December by commercial , truck over the Alcan Highway were 462 short tons of perishable and 163 tons of non-perishable freight, he said. ...,:

YELL0WTAl IS IMPORTANT TO STATES FUTURE

'sF'rom every angle of approach,
Yellowtail Dam must be considered
as a capital investment in the future
of Montana and the nation" Willard
Fraser, Demo candidate for congress,
told Hardin businessmen audience
Friday evening, June "a.
Fraser continued: "No really good
businessman will ever hesitate to in
vest his capital when definite returns
from that investment can be clearly
foreseen 1t stands to reason then
if the congress is going to use good
business principles in its current leg
islation, it will approve the Murray
amendment which would appropriate
two and one half million dollars to
start construction of Yellow Dam.
From revenues derived from
power alone, Yellowtail Dam will
pay for itself in full in less than
fifty years, and this leaves out of
all account the benefits and monies
that would flow into the state and
national economies from irriga-
ton, flood control, soil erosion
preventlony recredt1oUal TacIIlt1eS,
and many other factors" Fraser
emphasized.
Continuing, Fraser pointed out:
"The Bureau of Reclamation, who
would have charge of the construc-
ton of Yellowtail Dam, has been
working on program to see that the
Grow Indians, who own the land on
which the dam would be built, and
which land is without any economic
value whatsoever today, would be
fully reimbursed for their land
There is no intention or thought of
any of the several groups interested
in seeing Yellowtail Dam construct
ed, of depriving in any manner what
soever, the Grow Indians of their
just rights.

ciated with any saloon, non-profl,

of the organization announced this

Because of the similarity of name
of the State Pension Association

to that of MOAP, many misinformed

preston that MOAP is in the retail
liquor business.
The actual purpose of MOAP is to

in the process of incorporation, is
open to all, regardless of race, creed

On Ballot In 1850
After incorporation has been COM
pleted, the association plans to be-
gin year-long educational cam
paign preparatory to launching a
statewide petition campaign to place
statutory initiatives on the 1850 bal
lot. One of these initiatives which
is based on the law passed by con-
stitutional referendum in California,
would guarantee pensions to Mon
tana aged of $75 for an individual
over 65 years, of $3.50 for married
couple. The total payments would
include social security payments, etc.
The other initiative would make
Montana citizens between so and IS
eligible for the same. pension, pro-
viding they had lived in Montana for
at least 80 of the 35 years immedi-
ately preceding application for old
age assistance.

closed for 80 days by the State Lii
quor Board. Though Olsen pleaded
guilty and was fined $500 by Justice
A. N. Bergen, because of the change
of ownership in his establishment be-
tween the time of the offense and
the court sentence, the Western Bar
was not prohibited from selling Ii
quor for similar period of time,
nor has any other punitive action
been taken against the licensed
premises.
The Western Bar transaction casts
a shadow of mystery over many
names familiar to those who have
read the House Liquor report. A
brief summary of the facts sur
rounding the transaction includes:
After June A, but on or before
June II, Olsen purportedly sold the
establishment to one fairfield Hole
(although as of the first of this week
there was nothing of record to in
dictate the transfer of the property
to Hole from Olsen).
On June II, the Midland National
Bank Featured on page Ill of Nc
Kenna committee report) and Hole
entered into chattel mortgage in
the amount of $4,000. This mort
gage was made of record June 81,
1949, under file No. 138-597. Among
the chattels mentioned in this mort
gage as security for the $4,000
were:
1 check rack and 1000 chips
1 Twenty-one table
3 Poker tables
10 plush Alleged chairs
10 miscellaneous Alleged chairs
IL upholstered chairs
Then, on June II, according to
inquiry at the State Liquor Control
office, the Olsen liquor and beer Ii
censes were transferred to Hole.
