Children are not permitted to at
tend this school until they are six
years old and they are required to at
tend it until they are eighteen years
old, but, however, they may stay I'M
til they become tWeuty-one years old
and sometimes longer if they wish.
We found this very interesting and,
as it was by this time their lunch
hour, we decided to visit the School
for the Blind.
As we were leaving we saw their
recreatonal field, which is divided
into two parts, one for the boys and
the other for the girls They also have
a football team, which was playing
game in Pennsylvania the day of
our visit there.
We went a few blocks back of the
school for the deaf to visit the school
for the blind. As we entered the
school for the blind we visited their
library first We found this quite in
telesting as their books are all
printed in Braille (Braille is an
alphabet similar to the Morse code).
They also have book records which
are records played on a photograph
which tells the story Of a particular
book.
We left the library and visited vaIi-
Gus other parts of the building, which
the principal, who was himself blind,
showed us
They have Braille Writers which
are similar to typewiiters but Of
course it writes in Braille and has
only six keys. These are for the adj
vanced students and until they are
prepared for using these, they use
States.
We visited the shop in which we
saw many beautiful things the boys
had made. They make brooms, weave
rugs, baskets, and chair bottoms,
make lamps, and many other beauti-
full things of that sort.
They also have room for tuning
and fixing pianos as well as a print
ing press from which they print their
school paper.
1t was really amazing how the
blind people get around from place
to place so easily.
As it was by this time 1:l5 p. m,
we left the school and returned to
the bus where we started for home.
We arrived home at about 3:32 p. m,
just in time to catch our own buses
home.
We felt that the trip was very

Obs Core Class Gets
First Hand Knowledge
of Deaf and Blind

The following account Of recent
trip to Romney, W. Va, was written
by lO-C students:
The lO-C class, in Oakland High
School is taking up a unit in Core ON
Communicating Ideas. In this unit we
became interested in how the handi-
capped communicate. 1t was decided
by our class, approval by our Core
teacher, Mrs. Fred Beachy, and also
our principal, Mr.. Buuier, that we
should go to Romney, West Virginia,
to visit the School for the Deaf and
the School for the Blind. We later
decided to travel by bus, which was
driven by Mr. Hubert Martin, on a
recent date. All parents were invited
but only two responded. Mrs. Sam
Wood and Mrs. Walter Moomaw.
There were 33 persons, 20 being stu
dents, parents, | teacher, and the
bus driver, who made the trip. We
left the high school at 900 a. m. and
arrived there at ll:00 a. m.
We visited the school for the Deaf
first. A guide showed various rooms
and classes Afterwards the princ-
pal of the school took us to the au-
ditorium and talked to us about the
deaf students.
Among the subjects for the deaf
they have about the same ones that
we have hero in Garrett Cnuntv For.

that a north-south alley be opened
instead. The mayor appointed a

necessary.
With one dissenting vote, ordi-
nance Ais was passed on second
reading. The ordinance is about
traps to prevent oil and grease
from entering sewer lines.

Grass Fire Burns
Over rs Acres In
Middle OF Night

Fire of unknown origin burned
over 25 acres of grassland Friday
night on the Joe Gehrett ranch
south of Laurel, operated by j. M.
Westervelt. 1t began in the north
east corner of the ranch at about
11:30 and continued to burn and
spread until about 2 o'clock in the
morning. Westervelt and all his
neighbors engaged in battling the
moving flame, which attracted at
tention in Billings and caused the
county-operated fire apparatus to
be sent out by Sheriff Albert
Thomas. The fire had been extin-
guished by the time the apparatus
arrived.
There was no storm, the night
was clear and the moon was shin
ing, conditions which precluded the
fire from being started by light
ming.

PRES. HAMLET TELLS
K|WAN|ANS Of TRIP

Pres. Lee Hamlet told Laurel
Kiwanians of the recent Kiwanis
convention held in Sidney, when
the club met Wednesday, Aug. 80.
His report was largely devoted to
The entertainment aspect of the
convention, though lie did cover
such business as he felt pertinent.
As ? side light, he displayed ma
terial prepared by the Sidney
Chamber % Commerce to report
the growth of the town in this
Tast year. The Sidney report indi-
Gated a great deal of business ac-
tivity in the area.
1t has been announced that the
Sept. 13 meeting of the Laurel
kiwanis club will feature a ladies'
night program. Also, there is
scheduled a meeting of the min
strel show committee at 1880 p. M,

Survey Made OF Waterfowl

In a more extensive and authori.
tative survey on waterfowl breed
ing grounds than has ever before
been made, it was found that al
though there is no noticeable in
crease over last year, the central
flyway shows a moderate increase
in production. Montana, Idaho,
and California show no important
change in production.
The report, prepared by Albert
M. Day, director of the fish and
wildlife service, lovers spring and
summer breeding ground condi-
tions in Alaska, the arctic and sub
arctic sections of northwestern
Canada, British Columbia, the
prairie and maritime provinces of
Canada, and most of the northern
tier of states from California to
Maine. The Canadian wildlife
service, the provincial game de-
partments, and the various state
departments of conservation con-
tributed both equipment and per-
sonnet to the survey.
Because of the late spring in
the northern states and Canada,
many of the waterfowl were forced
further south than normal, the
report states. Some loss of young
was noted in certain water areas
and in croplands where nests were
destroyed.
The central flyway's increase
was partially offset by reductions
in the far north and Alberta. Along
the Mississippi, conditions were
not favorable, since, except for the
contributing areas of Saskatche-
and North Dakota, there was
a general reduction in breeding
birds and production. In the Pa
cific flyway, only Oregon and
British Columbia showed notice
able increase in breeder potential
and production of young.
The Atlantic flyway seemed to
be at a stand-still, with no sig
n%ificant trend up or down, a situa-
ton somewhat comparable to that
the 1949 breeding season. A.,

AUGUST
FREEZE, MONTANA
CROPS DO WELL
Good Grain Yields Reported
From Over State - Beet
Harvest Starting Sept. 25

Approximately 60 per cent Of
the winter wheat in Montana haC
been harvested at the middle OF
the current week, the joint state
federal crop reporting agency al
Helena said. In the vicinity OF
Laurel, though, the grain harvest
was so well along that attention
was being given to such other
crops as beans and beets.
The report from Helena con-
tinued by saying that the spring
wheat harvest is more than one
half done in the southeastern sec
ton and west of the divide, al
though only one-third completed
for the entire state. Continued dry
weather is needed in many sections
of northern Montana and at the
higher elevations to mature the
spring wheat. The barley and oats
harvest is nearly as far along as
the winter wheat harvest with SO
per cent of the barley and Sc per
cent of oats harvested Sept. 2.
Good to excellent small grain
yields are reported in virtually all
parts of the state. Mid-August
frost and freezing temperatures
reduced spring wheat yields in the
Waller area and in a few areas of
northeastern Montana. Consider
able corr was badly frosted in
eastern Montana and is being cut
for feed and silage. Several weeks
of frost-free weather is needed to
mature the corr crop.
About SO per cent of the second
cutting Of alfalfa has been stacked
or baled. Ideal haying weather of
the past week has resulted in fine
quality hay. Yields r generally
heavy. Some dry beans have been
cut. Plans are being made to start
the sugar beet harvest about Sept.
rs in all factory districts. Tonnage
will be heavy if present warm tenn
peratures continue. Average to
heavy yields of flax IRE expected
in most sections except in Blaine
and Phillips counties where earlier
dry conditions reduced the crop.
Soil moisture conditions are gen.
orally adequate for seeding winter
wheat in the principal winter
wheat areas. But soil moisture is
short in southeastern Montana and
west of the divide for ideal seeding
conditions. Seeding will begin by
the end of next week, but will
probably be retarded to some ex-
tent because of possible grass
hopper damage. Batting and spray
ing the borders of seeded fields
will help hold them in check.
Without exception, livestock has
put on excellent gains under favor
able range conditions. Marketings
will be lighter than normal in the
eastern half of the state, but will
average about normal elsewhere.

SCAN YOUTH PROGRAM
FROM TWO AGE LEVELS

Jim Graft, a Laurel Rotary
sponsored youth who attended the
1850 session of Boys State at Dill
Ion and as a participant reported
on what went on there, and
Chandler C. Cohagen of Billings,
who has through most of his life
been connected with the major or
CARNATIONS devoted to youth de-
velopment and training for fruit
full future citizenship, discussed
Tuesday noOn at a meeting of the
Rotary club the aspects of the
youth movement as they saw it
from their respective age levels.
For Graft the Boys State program
was a new experience filled with
rather strange maneuvers and in
formative speeches; for Cohagen
there was satisfaction in the
knowledge that the efforts exerted
over the years by the various or-
CARNATIONS have paid off with de-
sired, sometimes unexpected re-
suits.
Pres. D. A. Nottingham an
nounced at the beginning of the
meeting that the club will enter
tain the teaching staff of Laurel
public schools next Monday eve
ming, an event that is annual. The
regular meeting Tuesday will be
without a program.
With John Corwin as speaker,
the Laurel club will present a pro-
gram in Billings for the Rotary
club there Monday noon. Noting
ham urged a large attendance
from Laurel.
Guests at the meeting this week
were Sherman Hess, senior and
from Corvallis, Ore; Wayne
Hageman, Jr., Laurel; Ted Ne
vile, Wyoming; John Shonsey,
Omaha; Don Graft, Laurel.
Fred w. Graft, program COM
mitteeman, presented his son, Jim,
as the lead-off speaker on the Pro-
gram. After thanking the club for
sponsoring his attendance at Boys
State, the younger Graft sketched
the events that crowded the days
and nights in Dillon for the $50
boys attending. The governor of
the chancellor of the
Greater University, members of
the supreme court, representa-
of the F. B. l., members of
the forestry service and a number
Of others were speakers at vari-
BUS times. One who drew close at
5ention was Ed Gibbons, editor of
4 San Francisco newspaper who
old the story of communist ac-
,ivities in the United States.
Young Graft contributed some
articles to the daily newspaper
published for Boys State. He was
nominated and elected police Judge
If one of the four towns, and was
also a member of the legislatures
house OF representatives. In ath-
etics he was a member of the
'u~nner-up football team. His de-
icription of the proceedings closely
followed an account that has al
-eady appeared in the Laurel Out
ook.
Cohagen, the second speaker, be-
gan by telling of an organization
or young men that was formed in
london in 1874 by George Will
aims for the Improvement of
he spiritual condition of young
nen in the drapery and other
rades." 1t was the Young Mems
