Kiwanis Club Has
Brief Program At
Meeting Wednesday

Because the speaker who was
to have appeared on the program
of the Kiwanis club Wednesday
evening had car trouble while en-
route from Livingston to Laurel,
the brief after-dinner program
was impromptu.
DR.. w. A. Mccormick reported
concerning the i~nter-city Kiwanis
club meeting at Miles City May
2 and said about 10 from Laurel
expect to attend.
He also said the Laurel Mer-
chants baseball club, composed of
young men over the age for
American Legion ball, had II
players at a practice last week.
1t is expected that the cost of
operating the club this year will
be near $500. A major item of
expense will be the II to Is
dozen baseballs that may be
needed. DIR. Mccormick added
that financial aid will be appre-
ciated.

ported that directors of the XII

Thomson, j. j. Parker and others
from the controlling city council,
said this week that the high
school stadium space, with a 30
foot break in the center, will
sell for S75 more than the paint
ing.
At the meeting Saturday eve
ming, Parker said the sign paint
er's charge for retouching and
repairing a year hence on the re-
newals would probably be about
60 per cent of the first cost.
The money cleared by the city
from the sale of spaces will be
used for operation of the park,
by a commission that was recent
ly created, but not yet appointed.
1t is expected operation costs
this year will be slightly less
than $1,000 and that income from
the advertising will be somewhat
more than $1,000, the differ
ence Delng the beginning of a
reserve fund.
A diagramatic sketch several
feet in length and giving a panor-
annie idea of the spaces was
placed in a window of the Laurel
Outlook this week for the bene-
fit of concerns and individuals
interested in buying the adver-
Using. Those wishing to make
reservations are advised to con-
tact Marvin Hoppel, manager
of Thompson Yards, Inc, at 304

Using expect to have a meeting

ROD AND GUN CLUB
SETS PARTY DATE

A large number of Laurel Rod
and Gun club members turned
out Sunday in response to a re-
quest from Pres. D. A. Noting
ham and Sec. C. G.. Scott for
work on the club building and
grounds at Riverside park. One
division of volunteers shingled
the entire south half of the build
ing-"no small job" Scott re-
marked-and put together three
dozen seats that had been do
mated by the Royal theater. The
floor of the building was scrub
bed to make the job complete.
At a business meeting con-
vened at 2 p. M, it was decided
to hold the clubs annual stag
party Saturday, May IA, at
the end of the membership drive.
The program will get under
way with trap shooting at 2,
followed by refreshments about
5. Motion pictures will be shown
at 8-probably two excellent
films the committee is endeavor-
ing to secure on hunting and fish
ing in Alaska. The remainder
of the evening will be devoted
to games.
A 1949 membership card will
entitle the holder to attend the
big party.
Other items of business COM
ing before the meeting Sunday
included the recommendation of
a member of the state fish and
game commission from this dis
trict, and the appointment of a
nominating committee to report
at the annual meeting and cleo
ton of officers May ID.
T. S. Buford, chairman of the
clubs trap and shooting commit
tee, announced this week that the
trap will be open for use every
Thursday at $3.50 p. m. for those
who wish to shoot. Shells will
be available at the trap.

GRADES PREPARE
SPRING CONCERT
More Than 600 Children TIC
Participate In Event Of
Friday, May 6

The annual spring concert Of
the Laurel grade schools will be
presented in the high school gym
nasium the evening of Friday,
May 6. More than 600 children
in grades 1 through 6 will par
ticipate in a program represent
ing various phases of their school
music work. The 10 room teach
ers, under the general direction
of Mrs. Winona Denny, r pre-
pairing a varied program, includ-
ing such numbers as two and
three-part singing, original songs,
homemade rhythm Instruments,
song dramatization and many
others.
This year, because of the re-
cent rapid growth of the grade
schools, the junior high was pre-
sented in the Christmas program;
therefore the spring concert will
include only the first six grades.
This year more supervision has
been given the elementary grades
and the junior high since Mrs.
Denny, the supervisor, has been
relieved of the senior high vocal
groups.
New special school ~victrolas
have been purchased for each of
the elementary schools; also a
complete set of music apprecia-
ton records. The records, only
recently revised, open to many
children an entirely new field of
music, demonstrated by the eager
