Trucking Concern Given
First-PIace Award For Safety

A national first-place award for
safety was made last week to

Laurel by American Trucking as
sociations, Inc. The award to the
local concern, which is operated by
L. Wayne Hageman and is engage
ed in transportation of petroleum

nual convention of the association

division, tank truck hazardous con-
ference.
Hageman, who was given special
recognition at the convention in
New York, was not in attendance.
Laurel's trucking industry was
represented by j. w. Fry of Bice
Truck Lines, who was commission
ed to convey the award to Hage-
man.
The latter was greatly pleased,
and said that the award was the
direct result of splendid coopera-
ton of the concerns employees
drivers and maintenance men.
He commented further that such
awards should encourage wider
participation in the safety pro-
gram, to the benefit of all.
American Trucking Associations,
Inc, elected Leland James of
Portland, Ore, president for the
coming year. The association
represents 10000 firms in the
trucking industry. The convention

SCOTT TELLS Of FIRE
CHARACTERIZATION

Fire prevention week and the
local situation with regard to fire
prevention and control we're under
discussion when Chester Scott, a
member of the Laurel volunteer
fire department, addressed the Ro-
t2ry club Tuesday. Scott particular
ly emphasized the local aspect of
the problem.
Telling of measures taken here
to reduce the fire hazard and fire
loss, he said that fires resulting in
total losses in the area around
Laurel had spurred the Laurel fire
men to seek the establishment of
a county fire district in this vicin-
ity, with a district truck based in
town. Investigating the possible eff
feet such an arrangement might
have on insurance rates in the
city, the firemen discovered that
premiums here were due to take
a rise unless certain added pro-
lection was obtained.
In working out the probable cost
Of increased premiums it was re
vealed that the added equipment
specified by the fire underwriters
would be much cheaper, as we'll
as providing greater fire protec-
ton. With this in mind, the fire
department approached the city
council in regard to the purchase
of another truck. After appropriate
Investigations in the matter had
been made, the council approved
the plan, and actual matter of
purchasing a new truck was taken
in hand.
Scott then discussed the inspec-
ton of buildings as required by the
office of the state fire marshal.
In compliance with Montana law,
members of the Laurel fire depart
ment are examining all public
buildings in the city. The purpose
of the inspection is to bring about
the correction of fire hazards apt
to result in the loss of life.

STRESSES THAT WEST
MUST REMAIN STRONG

The West must be strong NOR
ally and economically, as we'll as
in arms, said a member of the
last democratic government to sit
in Hungary when he addressed the
Laurel Kiwanis club last week.
Relying on personal observation
and experience, the speaker told
of conditions in Europe following
World war II-dealing particular
ly with the effects of Russian oc-
cupation.
1--WE were sitting in our homes,
warm and comfortable" he said,
when we heard the Russian can
n coming" Then followed an
account of the retreat in the face
of advancing Russian troops. In
Guided was a report of conditions
in displaced persons camps, the
camps being noted for their ex-
IRENE overcrowding and short ra-
lions. Citing a question once put
to him as to when he decided to
go to the DIP camps he said "We
could hear the Russians coming
closer, so we picked up our trunks
and left. That was as much as
we decided to CO."
Comparing the situation in Hun
gary to that in other Russian oc-
cupied countries, he pointed out
that though "the Russians have
the machine guns in their hands"
they have not been able to carry
the Hungarian vote in either of
the two elections held there since
the war, a unique occurrence in
any of the occupied nations.
Commenting on the possible eff
feet of Stains death, a question
which had been put to him at
other times, the speaker said in
effect that he doubted if it would
produce any great change in Rus
STA. About the only result he could
predict would be a battle for
power among top ranking party
members, with the party remain
ing supreme in power.
The speaker expressed himself
as feeling that at present the Rus
slams we're not a great threat to
the United States, but frequently
restated the idea that this country
must keep itself strong. He did
state that he was disturbed by
evidence of unrest, as indicated
by strikes, during a time of
"You never know where that sort
of thing is coming FROM" he said.
again stressed the need of
moral and economic strength as.
well as military strength.
