Boost Bond Sales
At Erie Ordnance

The results of the independence
Drive for the sale of u. S. Saw
ings Bonds at Erie Ordnance De-
pot are very gratifying as report
ed by John w. Tettau, Lacarne,
Bond Officer. A total of 1873 mill
tary and civilian personnel in
creased payroll reservations in the
amount of $1,132.02.
The following shows the percent
age of participation by divisions
at the close of the campaign: Ad-
jutant, 54 per cent; Administra-
ton, COS per cent; Engineering
and Inspection, SIG per cent;
Fiscal, 1877 per cent; Operations
and Control, 84.6 per cent; Pro-
curement, 80 per cent; Post Engi-
neer, Gil per cent; Production,
sos per cent, and Supply, 68.9 per
cent.
The above increases show that
real effort was made by divi-
sion representatives and their
assistants during the special drive
for investment in Savings Bonds
and the bond chairman desires to
express his appreciation of this
cooperation in making the cam
paign a success.
Percentage of post participation
shows substantial increase in
reservations just prior to the cam
paign which indicates a growing
interest in thrift through the sys-
tematic payroll saving plan.

DEER SEEN AT f. O. d.

Deer, Deer, Deer! 1t seems
these days everyone is seeing deer.
Recently a deer was seen near the
Salvage Yard at Erie Ordnance
Depot. Troy Sheriff., Sr., Oak
Harbor, was the first to see this
timid animal. He first saw the
deer in the yard and after calling
other employees, the deer was
frightened and ran into the
marsh. The men, who were with
ing 30 yards of the deer, chased
him out of the marsh and then
the deer jumped the fence as if
the fence wasn't there.

which it may travel down to the
ground"
What should you do about
lightning if a thunderstorm CATCH
es you out in the open? That, say
the experts, depends on where you
are.
IfyOu' re riding in an all-steel
automobile, you're perfectly
safe as long as you remain i'm
the car. Try to stay there.
ION stepping out with one foot
on the running board and the other
on the curb or pavement, a differ
ence in potential is established
which could give you jolt" says
Hagenguth.
IF at this moment the car were
struck by lightning, because of the
car being insulated from the
ground by its tires, the charge
would have no grounding conduc-
tor except through the body of the
individual. This might be disas-
trous.
THE same is true if a high
voltage wire should fall upon the
roof of an all-steel car. If the
charge is not great enough to
cause fire, occupants should re-
main in the car until the current
in the wire is shut off or the wire
removed.
IF, however, it is necessary to
make quick exit, it should be by
jumping. Every effort should be
made to prevent one part of the
body coming in contact with the
ground while another part is in
contact with the vehicle"
Evening star., 1950-06-18

because it acts as a natural light
ming rod" This is only partly true.
Hagenguth says person may
be struck by a side-f1ash from the
trunk. There is also the possibility
of being fatally injured by the
current as it leaves the roots and
passes through the damp ground.
In an open field or on a golf
course where there is no shelter
or on the crest of an unprotected
ridge or hill, you're safer lying
down than standing up. 1t is also
better to avoid a concentration of
people.
Artificial Respiration Best Bet
ONE of the findings of the scien-
lists should prove more or less
reassuring to golfers. A metal club
will not attract a bolt more than
a wooden one unless you hold the
club over your head.
Along with other lightning
precautions you take, read a
first-aid manual and learn how
to give artificial respiration. If
you are present when someone is
struck, you may save his life.
According to scientists many
deaths due to lightning might
have been prevented had this
timely first aid been given to VIC
Tins.
In addition to causing burns,
the passing of an electric current
through the body often paralyzes
the nerves and muscles, affecting
the diaphragm or breathing mech
anism. Immediate application of
artificial respiration until the
paralysis passes is most important.
Besides these physical steps
which may be taken to do some
thing about lightning, there is also
comforting thought for the tim
id. 1t is a realistic observation
made by the scientific DR..
McEachron. 1t goes like this:
"If you heard the thunder clap,
the lightning did not strike you.
And if you saw the lightning, it
missed you. But if it did strike
YOU, you would never have known

No Time to Swim

IF YOU'RE in swimming, get out
of the water as soon as possible.
The chance of a bolt actually
striking you is slim. But if light
ming does hit the water, the flow
of current through it is dangerous.
Many of the swimmers supposedly
struck by lightning really have
been drowned after receiving a
shock.
Keep out from under a tree.
There is still a widespread belief
that person is safer under tree

Havre Labor Groups
Buy Building For
Temple

The Havre Labor Temple Inc. was
formed and incorporated at 100000
for the purpose of building a Labor
Temple where the various unions in
Havre could meet. The building which
formerly housed the union hall has
been purchased by Woolworth's.
The stockholders of the Havre Lab
or Temple Inc. met and elected thir-
teen members as board of directors.
The board of directors then held a
meeting and elected officers who
were as follows: Ralph Grant, Presi-
dent; Pete Hamilton, Vice President;
Urcle Bailey, Treasurer, and Nora
Nelson, Secretary. Other members of
the board are: G. E. Teetl, Oscar Sc
dahl, E. D. Wattam, Agatha Phil
lips, Steve O'Neill, Frank Schweitzer,
Bob Trudell, James Van de Peet, and
H. H. Hess. A set of bylaws were ap-
proved and adopted. Committees were
appointed to obtain location for
this building and also to obtain var
ious building plans.
Anyone wishing to purchase stock
in this incorporation may do so by
contracting any union man in Havre.
This new building would be wond-
erful asset to the city of Havre as
well as to the various unions. A Lab
or Temple in Havre would bring state
conventions to this city for the first
time.

said an investigation is being made to
determine what circumstances or set
of circumstances arose to cause the
mishap.
A doctor Monday said the men were
poisoned with arsine gas and the sud-
den need overwhelmed us as far as
our supply of British anti-Lewisite
medicine" was concerned. When the
doctor was asked if the men were poi
soned by Lewisite gas he said: eve
call it arsine".
Arsine is described as colorless,
inflammable, extremely poisonous
gas with an odor like that of garlic.
Lewisite is colorless vesicant

blister), produced by reaction of
acetylene with arsenic trichloride,
developed as poison gas for use in

Manager Thomas said that under
the old terms of the social security
law the 1,061 beneficiaries in this
area would have reached about $780,

ever, total payments for September

or an immediate increase of some
$17,171 monthly in insurance bene-

Under the new law the amount of
earnings which a beneficiary may
make in a month, and still accept
MS insurance payment for that month,
is raised from $14.99 to $50. This APP
plies to beneficiaries under age rs,

calls attention to the need for strengthening and
broadening the scope of industrial safety and COM

AS brought out previously in these columns, pres
ent laws under which the Industrial Hygiene Divi-

Likewise Montana lags far behind many of the states
in legislation governing the scope of benefits under
the Workmen's Compensation Act
Present authority granted the hygiene division
gives that agency the power to go in and inspect var
industrial plants but the division has little
authority to enforce whatever recommendations it
may issue Further there punitive provisions
applicable, under the law that may be invoked
against firms which fail to follow out the agency s
recommendations. What little authority the division
has regarding investigation is further hampered by
