Parents Guidance In
Children's Education
Stressed By Speaker

Ray j. Harshfield, speech and
dramatics director at Eastern
Montana College of Education,
Billings, was the principal speak
er at a meeting of the Byam
Parent Teacher association Fri
day evening at the school. He
spoke on "What Can We as
Parents Do to Further the Edu-
cation of Our Children ?"
The speaker said the most i'm
portant things for parents to do
are to stop Indulgence; stop in
security; stop indecision, and
stop intellectual laziness.
He urged parents to take an
active part in the education of
their children by furnishing
background and support and to
rot leave the task completely in
the hands of the schools.
Ross Harrison and Richard
Bjorgum of Eastern entertained
with several tumbling acts.
James Hanna, pre-dental student,
performed the cold light expert
ment.

Mining Director Encourages Further
Development Of Tale, Graphite, Asbestos

original plant at Libby has been
expanded and improved to the
point where it now produces
from $50 to 400 tons a day.
Vermiculite deposits have also
been found in Ravalli county, II
miles from Hamilton, on a trail
off the Skalkaho highway, which
DR.. Perry says shows promise of
being commercial and would seem
to warrant additional develop
ment work. Other deposits have
been located on the Rocky Boy
Indian reservation in Hill county,
and near Pony in Madison coun-
ty.
Amplitude asbestos has been
produced on a commercial scale
in Montana from deposits near
Karst dude ranch south of Boze-
man in Gallatin county. Serpen-
asbestos has been located so
miles south of Ennis in Madi-
son county, nine miles southeast
of Cliff Lake. This deposit has
so far proved to be non-commer-
cial.
Asbestos production in the
United States is only from one
to two per cent of the world
supply and this country is de-
pendent upon imports with Can
ada, South Africa, and Russia
furnishing the greater part. De-
pending upon length of fibre
c~hrysolite asbestos prices range
$40 to $3.50 per ton, while
emphiboln asbestos prices
range from $40 to $40.

K|WAN|S GOVERNOR
VISITS CLUB HERE.
HunthOusen, Anaconda, Urges
"Hatching Something For
Salvation OF World"

If every Kiwanian sold his
business and devoted the rest of
his life to Strengthening the af-
fairs of humanity, he would find
so much that needed to be done
that he would barely scratch the
surface. cts time to go to
work, and it's later than we
think"
These and similar thoughts on
responsibility we're conveyed to
the Laurel Kiwanis club Wednes-
day evening by visiting Gov.
Tony Hunthousen of Anaconda.
The event, a highlight in the
club year, was also ladies' night,
and attracted the attendance dis
trict notables. The district
governors address was based
largely on this years Kiwanis
theme, Aggressive Citizenship"
In times of stress, he said in
effect, individuals forget differ
ences of politics, religion and
caste and unite their efforts for
protection of America and the
common welfare. The uniform of
the armed forces banished big
otry, intolerance and even color
lines in the last war, a condi-
ton of mind and cooperative
ness needed greatly in times of
peace. "Let's get off the glass
egg we've been sitting on" he
urged, land hatch something for
the salvation of our country and
world"
For the unwilling of the peace
marker this year at Sweetgrass
the Montana, southern, half of
the town straddling the line sep
arating the United States and
Canada-the ,Kiwanis governor
requested a large attendance of
representatives from all the clubs
in his jurisdiction.
Congratulations were extended
the Laurel club for it's promo
ton of a Key club in the high
school, which has sent delegates
to the current international con-
vention of Key clubs in Wash
ington, D. C. He also expressed
qualification on the number of
new members received by the
Kiwanis club and said the goal
for the state this year is at
least 100, with the creation of
at least four new clubs. He
would be pleased if the district
sent so or more delegates to
the international convention at
Atlantic City.

Butte, March 23..-While the
lure of metal mining has over
Swallowed mining of such less
glamorous non-metallic minerals
as tale, graphite, vermiculite
and asbestos, it is hoped publ
cation of information will aid in
their development in Montana.
The non-metallics have yielded
about one hundred million dol
lars in Montana, compared to
four billion dollars from copper,
gold, silver, lead, zinc and man
ganese, yet non-metallics enjoy
a place of vital Importance to
many industries, DR.. Francis A.
Thomson, president of Montana
School of Mines and director of
the Montana bureau of mines
and geology, points out in an
nouncing the issue of the latest
bureau publication. Memoir No.
81, by DR.. Eugene S. Perry, pro-
fessor of geology, is devoted to
tale, graphite, vermiculite and as
bestos.
Tale has been mined in Mon
tana on a commercial scale for
six years at properties II miles
southeast of Dillon and 20 miles
south of Ennis. Tale is used
in the manufacture of some
paints, paper, roofing, rubber,
toilet powders, ceramic products,
and in foundry facings. One
form of tale known as "lava"
tale is used as an insulator and
spacer in vacuum tubes and
electrical instruments. 1t has
been reported that there is no
substitute for this material for
use and the Montana pro-
duct has proved superior to i'm
material.
About 1920 tons of crystal
line graphite concentrates have
been shipped from the Dillon
area. This graphite, DR.. Perry
says, is equal in quality to that
imported from Ceylon. The Dill
lon deposits lie near the head of
Timber and Van Camp gulches
nigh in the Ruby Mountains.
Modern milling equipment has
been installed, including a flota-
ion plant, which has increased
he potential yield. Dump ma
;erial can also be treated in this
plant. About $50 tons of graph
tie concentrate, with a value of
5120 to 5000 a ton, f. O.. b. Dill
on, have been produced.
Vermiculite, discovered near
libby in 1915 and developed by
N. Alley, has yielded well
,ver a million dollars in ma
erial mined. This particular
ype of micaceous mineral re-
.eived its name from its peculiar
property of expanding IL to Is
lines it's original volume and
into wormlike forms,
rom the Latin, vermiculare, to
reed worms. 1t is used in heat,
old, and sound insulation, in
bricks, wall board, plas-
er; for packing; lubricants,
ubber goods, paper, ink and
,aint. The deposits near Libby
re the largest yet worked with
reserve for years ahead. The
