Supply Unit NeVs
BY Harmon Lee

THE SUDDEN death of Ernie
Il Harloff was a shock to the
men who knew him so well. Be
ing guard and working in the
tool crib for the last year, he had
made many friends. Our deepest
regrets and sympathy is for
Warded to his family.
The boys in the tool crib were
worried when Shorty didn't (
come to work. Being that Shorty
never misses any time they were
going to take up a collection for
flowers.
How can some of these mould
ers afford to take a day off once
in a while? Tell us. Henry.
The boys in the weld shop
want to know if Glenn is going
to carry Franks blue coat a.
round this summer.
There might be less scrap in
Dept. Al if the foreman would
quit setting up and running the
machines. It's the foreman's
place to show a man how, but
the contract states that he shall
not do any mans work.
Lester Smell, Dept. A, reports
that he is going to buy plastic
hat. His horse doesn't like his
old one.
The Company has informed
the committee that there is no
foundation to the rumor of lay
ing off the third shift or shutting
down Dept. SO during the tooling
changeover. In the future if you
hear any kind rumor ask your
steward or committeeman before
it goes any farther, it will save
a lot of headaches.
Cliff and Rose Varwig cele-
brate their silver wedding ami
versary the Goth of April. Con-
gratulations to you both. Rose
worked in the tool joint dept.
for two years before retiring to
home life and Cliff works in
Dept. "A.
If there is anyone in the plant
who knows of anyone having a
home for rent, would you please
contact Paul Clark in Dept. Al
nights, End shift, or call Len
nox 3186 days. He needs a place
very soon.
Jim Goslin, Dept. Sd, asked
for leave of absense and right
away a bid was placed on the
board for 8 extra men. If Jim
was doing nine mems work no
wonder he needs some time off.
The boys in Dept. 54 want to
know if Frank Geremski is look
ing for an inspectors job.
We wonder if it pays to send
a telegram to the Industrial Re-
lations office when you absent
yourself from work. A day weld
er did and got a warning slip
anyhow. When foreman neg
lects to check up and find out if
an employee is deserving of a
warning slip we construe that as
incompetence and careleSSness
in his work. Did X. Welty get
a pink slip for that?
To all the follows who asked
what the one dollar assessment
was for last week. 1t was the
regular International assessment
that must be paid each year at
this time. A couple of fellows
asked if this was to pay Dick
Gosser's vacation, we assure you
that it isn't. Anyhow we hope
Dick regains his health in that
Florida sunshine and will return
soon.
Who said Smokey Stevens was
afraid of water? He likes to fish
in deep water, so it can't be that.
What don't you like about the
Test stand Smokey?

Two range fires in this area,

were under control Wednesday
according to Big Horn
County Sheriff Roy Riley, but
strong patrols were being MAIN
tanned due to the possibility OF
the flames breaking out anew.
approximately 5000 acres of
range and timber land were
burned over by a blaze in the
Sarpy creek area, 40 miles east
of Hardin in Big Horn and
Rosebud counties. A heavy
shower which struck the Har-
din area Tuesday afternoon did
not reach the fire area, Riley
said, but instead, high winds
increased the possibilities OF
new outbreaks.
Big Horn and Rosebud county
firefighting crews, aided by the
Indian service at Crow Agency
and ranchers battled the blaze
in the Sarpy area, from Sun
day until Wednesday. Coil Red
ding, fire warden of the Sarpy
area, asked for additional

the Frank Clark ranch was
rekindled by high winds after
heinp temnorarily controlled.
"A fire In the Pine Ridge
area, in Yellowstone and Bis
Horn counties which started
Saturday but was not discover
ed until Sunday, destroyed
about 1000 acres of grass anc
timber and a shop at the L. F
Traphagen ranch.
The confederation was con.
trolled Monday mrning onl,
to break loose again Monda'
afternoon by leaping a 40-foo
county road. Crews from Bill
Horn and Yellowstone county
aided by ranchers fought tn,
fire which burned down FL
creek on the Fenton ranch
north north toward Pompey'
Pillar, until 6 a. m. Tuesda.
before it was confined to

battle to save the other build

Repeater Station
|Af Hardin
Recently Installed

An equipment installation
force of the Mountain States
Tel. & Tel. Co., recently COM
pleted what is known as a u
z" carrier telephone repeater
station at Hardin. Final tests
were made Tuesday, July IL,
by G.. E. Davis of Butte, chief
test board man for the COM
pany. =
The station, located at Gus
ter Ave. and Tenth ST., is now
in operation.
The added facilities encom-
pass u circuits to give faster
and imnroved service on the
Billings-Casper system. The in
stallation comprises a system
of amplifiers arranged to keep
the voice volume at a constant
point no matter what varia-
lions occur in power or line
loss. !
In order to maintain the re-
uuired volume over long dis
tances in this improved SER
vice, carrier repeater stations
are located at intervals of
about SO miles. Between Bill
lings and Casper, Wyo., termin-
| ais, stations are being placed
at Hardin. Wyola in Montana
and Sheridan and Buffalo, Wyo.
A bank of storage batteries
is provided to maintain ser
vice for a considerable time in
case of a power shutoff. An
air conditioning and heating
plant provide proper tempera-
ture control. >
In Hardin alone, the compa-
ny is spending $4,000 for CEN
trail office equipment in the
"J'' carrier hut, including the
new position of the switch
board recently installed. The
cost of the building just erec-
ted for housing the toll equip
ment is $4,000. This carrier
hut and central office equip
ment is part of the $400,00t
toll expansion program between
Billings and Casper.
As a result of the new facil-
tiles, four additional circuits
from Billings to- Casper ano
four from Billings to Denvel
have been created. An add.
tional Hardin-Billings circuit
is soon to be, realized.
