Functions OF City's
Government Told By
Void To ROtana Club

"Our City Government" was in
terestingly discussed by Paul A
Void, guest speaker appearing OF
the program of the Laurel Rotan:
club Monday evening at the Moose
hall. The program followed a din.
ner served at tables where a pa.
triotic theme of decorations en-
ployed red, white and blue carna-
tons and candles. The address re-
enlightened the club members and
introduced them to many of the
city's more intricate functional
processes. ,
Void explained that the city
government in powers of taxation
is legally limited by the state gov
eminent. Seven mills is the limit
allowed Montana cities for park
and playground provision and
maintenance, which hardly covers
the present demand. 1t may there
fore be necessary in future to seek
private assistance from organized
groups.
Another interesting point was
the necessary steps to obtain a
city improvement. The first re-
quirement is a petition of at least
81 per cent of the taxpayers in
the affected district, followed by
proof that the petitioners can sell
bonds to cover the cost of the
Improvement. An insurance for
final and full payment is made
possible by a city revolving fun,
permitted under state regulations.
The speaker hoped that every
one would remember that the coun-
ell chamber has seats to accom-
nodate 80 guests or spectators, but
that the seats are seldom put to
use.
The Rotana clubs business meet
ing was conducted by Pres. Helen
Toombs. The club voted to double
is annual contribution to the
March of Dimes. since the Yellow
stone county organization has had
demands greater than its funds.
Nominating ballots are to be mail
4. to members and a ballot box
will be placed in the office of the
Billings Gas company. Balloting
hould be completed before the
business meeting.

MAGAZINES ARTICLE

Majority opinion seemed to b'
ir opposition to a writer's half.
yelled suggestion that free enter.
prise by its methods may be de.
feating itself, when an article
appearing in a recent edition OF
Rotary International's monthly
magazine was dissected by speak
ers at a meeting of the Laurel Rot
ary club Tuesday. The writer was
a Texan, a lawyer by profession.
His article had been read before
publication by 10 other prominent
Rotarians in different countries,
whose comments were appended.
Paul Void was the principal re-
viewer. His conclusions in gener-
al were that the writer was not
as near the scene of action as
might be and that as a result his
ideas were more theoretical than
those possessed by actual partici-
pants. Also that the foreign COM
ments, either favorable or averse,
carried no significant weight, based
as they were largely on what
others thought and said. That
the speaker was expressing the
majority opinion of the club mem.
bers was taken to be indicated by
their applause from time to time.
Two others, P. A. Johnston ard
c. w. Laird, were scheduled for
the program. They had revelant
remarks, but were cramped forI
time to develop their ideas. John
ston in the course of his state
nents made a clarifying contribu-
ION, though parenthetically, by
defining economy, a word now pop
and therefore loosely used; /
le said it meant business.
The program was one of the
trusts of the year for Rotary clubs,
Who are required to make periodi-
al reviews of their official publ
The program was in
of Fred w. Graft of the
magazine committee, who was pre-
,ented by j. R. Heebner of the
program committee. Graft ex-
'lained the purpose of the program
nd introduced the speakers.
Visitors at the meeting were
red Foubister of Billings and
hanson Dale Clifford of Denver,
9th of the Salvation Army. Pres.
Hageman expressed TIE
lub's sorrow at the death of Sar
Brown of Massachusetts who
ad lately visited the club several
ines. John o. Laird read a let
er from the Rotary district head
u~arters concerning a proposal
hat the district create a scholar
hip fund for selected students
rom abroad who wish to come to
I~ontana institutions of learning.

BLAMING PARENTS

Job Opportunities
On Pacific Coast

A Tacoma, Wash. resident,
presumably a former Browning
resident, who did not disclose his
identity, this week sent the Chief
a clipping from the Tacoma Tri-
bune of Sept. %.
The story is captioned: Work
Goes Begging, $4,000 Needed
Badly
More important excerpts Of the
story are as follows:
Representatives of the state
employment service are looking
for more than $4,000 persons to
fill vacancies they know about.
1.-The most urgent need is for
1000 skilled a n d semi-skilled
workers to take jobs in Washing
ton military and defense plants.
John H. Robertson, state COM
missioner of employment secur-
ity, attributes the heavy demand
for workers to the Korean war.
Few, it any, states have felt
the impact of the Korean war
more t h a Washington" he
says. AS result the state is
facing an increasingly tighter
labor market
It's getting to the point where
we can't afford to waste a single
skilled work on a Job that
doesn't utilize his full abilities.
1.-The military establishments
and defense plants. mainly in
Western Washington. prefer to
hire persons already in the state.
Some, however, have sent re-
cruiters to the midwest and as
far east as Boston, Philadelphia
and Baltimore in the search for
men with certain specific SklllS.
They want 1000 skilled and
semi-skilled workers sue as
electricians, shipfitters. mach
mist welders, turret lathe oper-
ators, tool and die makers, air
craft propeller mechanics and
mechanical, aeronautical, cleo
tricial and marine engineers.
Robertson suggested that job
seekers check W t h their local
employment offices rather than
go directly to the job centers. 1t
might save a trip if you don't
have the skills."

ed to disclose a single instance
where juvenile misbehavior was
reduced by Furnishing parents.
And a juvenile court judge in
Toledo found out from experience
t b a Imprisonment of parents
does nothing more than break up
the family and deprive it of just
so much sustenance. He found
that when you punish the par
ents, you penalize the child.
It has also b e en- discovered
that children ca t h on very
quickly to the fact that their
wrongdoing is being blamed on
their parents, and they follow suit
unhesitatingly. Youngsters have
turned on their parents with the
retort:: Il may be delinquent, but
it's all your fault"
No, the child has to stand his
share of solving the problem. He
has to learn self-discipline-and
this is done partly through gett.
