Of use, 50 that excessive transpor.
tation Is involved. and practically
every agency has excessive sup.
plies.
The task force said that a IL
per cent cut in military inventories
would reduce investment of public
funds by more than $2.500, ,000, 900
On an estimate of civilian inven-
tories at 5000, 900, 900 a 10 per cent
reduction would be $4,000, 600
Ten per cent reductions in stores
personnel would mean a saving OF
more than $26, 900 a year in
the military agencies and 81 ,200,-
900 in the civilian. These figures
are described as conservative.
The task force also said that an
adequate traffic management divi-
sion should result In an initial saw
ing Of 20 to rs per cent of the
81 900 900, 900 total transportation
charge. It asserted that in fiscal
1947 overcharges by carriers were
discovered which totaled $131,-
SOL. .720.
1t proposed an organization
headed by a traff1c manager at
$17,500 a year. five deputies at
$4,000, a general counsel at $15,-
900. There would be 613 employees
in all, with a payroll Of $2,777,500,
but the report said this would be
justified by the savings to be &C
complished.
The property identification unit
would recommend procedures for
g. single commodity catalog. The
value Of such a catalog was illus
trated by the task force with this
example: One steam turbine man
urfacturer furnished a bearing
liner assembly to the Navy for
$83. Catalog research revealed
another supplier furnished the
same item. as a replacement part,
for $25, and then it was found
the prime manufacturer supplied
it for $9.O6.
Allotment of Space.
The buildings and operations
bureau in the Office of General
Services would also have charge
of allotment of space and moving
service in the District and in some
selected cities. It would have
management of more than 54,-
100000 gross square feet of Gov
ernment- owned property and more
than 100000 square feet of
leased space, of which $4,000. 900
square feet are outside the Dis
trict.
1t is not proposed that space
allotment in the post Offices and
the National Military Establish
ment should be made by this
agency. although it would be de-
sirable for the agency to service
them, the commission said. The
commission expressed no opinion
as to other functions of the Pub
lie Buildings Administration, in
cluding those Of design and con-
Struction.
Concerning records manage
ment, the commission said records
cost the Government enormous
sums each year and that those now
in existence would fill approx
mately six Pentagon buildings.
I'm 1948." the commission said.
"some 100000 square feet of
space were filled with records. Our
task force estimated that. on the
basis Of rental value alone. the
space costs for this volume of rec
ords is at least s20,000,000 annual
ly. The filing equipment for ham
ding these papers would be worth
$154 ,000,0 900 at current prices.

The two-week training period
of classes, drills, parades
and field trips similar to basic

Missionary Writes From French West Africa
After Visit To America; Tells Of Meticulous
Cleaning Needed To Make House Habitable

An interesting letter from Ebo-
Iowa, Cameroun (Cameroons in
English), French West Africa,
written by a missionary who is
the wife of an old school friend
OF C. H. Barney of Laurel, was
received recently by Mrs. Barney.
The writer, Mrs. l.. H. Chatterson,
and her husband Leonard had not
long since returned to the mission
field after a visit to the U. S. A.
(Etats Unis d'Amerique, the
French write it,. 1t was while
the Chattersons were in the
states that they visited Mrs. Bar
ney when the latter was in Wis
consin several months ago.
1t appears there are various
kinds of Observation-Disclosures who
preach, others who are doctors
ministering to the bodies of the
natives, and printer missionaries
who aid in advancing the work
of the church by making the print
ed word available. 1t is to this
last group that the Chattersons
belong.
The province Cameroun lies
seven to 10 degrees north of the
equator and is on the west coast,
about 600 miles from the fabulous
Gold Coast area that for centur-
les interested the adventurous
and from which many Africans
came to America as slaves. 1t
became a French mandate in 1919,
after the first world war, as a
part of the extensive colonial de-
tendencies. 1t is now a trust
territory under the United Ma
and has a population Of
more than 2h million.
Quoting some sections of the
.etter:
"Have you noticed that this
etter is being written from Flat?

FIVE PORTS, FOUR
HOTELS AID CLUB
III e Distribute Publicity
Matter Published By Lau-
rel Commercial Body

At five ports of entry where
affable, courteous young men eX-
tend the greetings of the SOW
ereign state of Montana to tour
ing visitors, the guests from be-
yond the border receive also this
the greetings of the Lad
rel Commercial club. Folders that
were printed for wide distribution
by the Commercial club and that
tell about the attractiveness
and many resources of Laurel
and surrounding area are handed
the out-of-state people by port at
tendants. Four prominent hotels
in the state are likewise assisting
the club. A conservative estimate
is that at least 100000 people,
first and last, will read the illus
descriptive folders this
year.
The five ports of entry distrib-
lting the local publicity matter
are located at Crow Agency, Miles
West Yellowstone, Gardiner
and Rockville. Crow Agency
south of Hardin is a convenient,
interesting stop for tour groups
into Montana from Wyo-
ming, and Miles City takes care
those from the east. West
Yellowstone is Laurel's fartherest
outpost to the west, where a
arge section of the millions visit
ne the park come and go. Gardi-
Ter, for many years the only en-
rance to Yellowstone, has never
ost popularity, while Rockville is
stopping place for people going
o or coming from the park via
ither Cooke or Cody.

Plumbers Are Hurt
In Ditch Cave-In
While Laying Pipe

Eddie Jones, Laurel plumber who
was injured in a ditch cavern last
week, returned to, his home Sat-
urday from a Billings hospital to
which he had been taken soon
after the accident. He sustained
three fractures of his pelvic bone
in the accident.
Jones and Charles Roberts, the
latter also a plumber, were lay
ing a water line in a freshly dug
five-foot ditch north of town when
the earth caved in from the sides
and trapped the two men. Power
equipment for moving earth was
used in helping to free them.
Roberts sustained a sprained
back, a bruised leg and other in
%juries, but was released from the
hospital after a few days.

EMPLOYMENT
BEATING
Of 1913
Labor Statistics Show
144,00O On PayrOlls
In State In July

Non-farm employment reached
a new all-time high in Montana
last month as employers reported
to the unemployment compensa-
ton commission and the bureau OF
labor statistics that they had 144,-
600 wage and salary workers on
their payrolls July Is. According
to Carroll M. Stewart, chairman of
the Montana commission, this ex-
ceeds by 1000 the previous high
established in 1913 when $4,000
non-farm workers were employed.
Also, it represents a gain of 5000
non-farm workers from July 10 a
year ago.
1t is regarded as probable that
the peak of seasonal employment
for the current year will not be
reached for 80 days, and there
r indications that non-farm en-
ployment will continue to show
a gain, although the state is now
very near the top.
AT the same time, insured I'M
employment has declined nearly
800 during the past 80 days, in
line with the normal seasonal
trend, but insured ~joblessness is
still more than double the level of
a year ago. The decline is attrib-
uted to the beginning of the
grain harvest, improvement of me-
tai prices, settlement of all major
labor disputes throughout the
state, and expiration of jobless
benefit payments for most of
Montana's veterans under the G.
l.. bill of rights.
All major classifications of in
dustry showed an employment in
crease from June to July, with
the exception of trade and service.
The slight decline of 100 in these
industries appeared to be more
of a fluctuation than the start
Of a trend. Mining and govern
ment employment held steady in
June, and all other industries re-
~OiNSN ouuSu C"IlplOyiilSIlI lTOIn
the preceding month, which was
r accordance with established
seasonal trends.
The long term employment up
-rend also continued, with every
major industry group but min
.ng and trade showing an increase
over a year ago. Mining was
Town a scant 200 and trade was
Down 400. Construction contin-
Led to lead the upswing with 1000
more workers than a year ago,
While government had 700 and
manufacturing 600 additional
workers..
Employment changes from July
948 to July 1949 showed:
Decreases-Mining down 200,
rade down 400.
Increases - Construction up
800, government up 700, manu-
acturing up 600, transportation

MUSIC, ADDRESS FORM
ROTAR|ANS' PROGRAM.

The Laurel Rotary club enjoyed
diversified entertainment Tuesday
when the Misses Patricia and
Linda Johnston provided musical
entertainment and Supt. Fred w.
Graft spoke on the consolidation
of five school districts into dis
trict Z. Preceding the program,
Oliver Void addressed the club in
behalf of the Robert Sorg benefit.
He urged wholehearted support
of the drive.
Graft described the advantages
resulting from the consolidation
OF school district No. 7 and the
five districts that have joined it.
The new districts added to No. 7
are free of bonded Indebtedness, Il
fact which will allow the enlarged
district to attain an Indebtedness
OF 100000. The availability Of
such a SUM of money will make
possible the construction of
school facilities capable of provid-
ing the services that are badly
needed. Graft emphasized the
point that such an increase in debt
would not be a disadvantage to
the districts which have been in
corporated into No. 7, but rather
that it would make available to
children from those districts faci.-
tiles that could not otherwise be
offered them.
The original district 7 achieves
the advantage of added classroom
space as a result of the consolida-
ton. Although the enrolment in
the school at Laurel will be con-
siderably increased, the movement
of some of the country school
to Laurel as temporary
classrooms will increase the class
room space available at a ratio far
n excess of the increase in en-
rollment. Also, the consolidation
allow the construction of per-
nanent buildings which will be
able to offer services resulting
a decided advantage to every
me concerned.
Four school buses will be in
operation this coming school year
bring pupils to the schools in
laurel.
Visiting Rotarians in attend
lnce at the meeting were DR.. w.
Copeland and Dan Barney of
he Billings Rotary Glib; Paul Will
