Supt. Announces
School Age Date

F. w. Graft, superintendent
of the Laurel school system, has
announced that first graders
must have passed their sixth
birthday before Sept. 80, 1850,
to be eligible to enroll this term.
Although he has not received
official notice from the state de-
apartment, it is understood that
a statewide ruling will go into
effect regarding the age limit,
and that younger children will
not be admitted to any school in
the state.
1t has long been recognized
by school authorities, a child not
yet six or over by the time he
enters school. is not yet ready
to do first grade work, and he
or she is handicapped in trying
to do the work required of six
year-olds. Much harm has been
done in the past in requiring
five and one-half-year-olds to
keep up with older children in
first grade work and it will be
6 general practice over the state
to limit entry to the first grade
to those who have passed their
sixth birthday by Sept. 80

LAUREL JUNIORS
DEFEAT GLASGOW
Second Game To Be Played
In Laurel Athletic Park,
Thursday Night, S:15

The Laurel Legion Junior base
ball team is now approaching the
finals in the B class. Monday night
at Glasgow, the boys took the
opening game in a t.,O-out-of-three
series in the semifinals, by a score
of 8 to 2.
Thursday night of this week the
Glasgow boys will journey to Lau-
rel to play the second game; if a
third game is necessary it will be
played in Laurel the following Fri
day morning.
The game at Glasgow was a
well played game on both sides,
but the Laurel Juniors we're more
effective at the plate and also
quicker in the field to take adj
vantage of any error made by the
opposition. 1t was the best game
any Laurel legion team has ever
played, and if they will perform
similarity this Thursday evening
they have a very good chance of
being in the championship strug-
gle, stated a baseball fan.
The Laurel battery, consisting of
Terry Hirschfelt and Jim Graft,
bore the brunt of the defensive as
signment. Terry allowed a hits
and struck out Is men, while Jim
several times eased the situation
by starting a double play or pick
ing a man off third.
Laurel garnered ID hits which
were quite well distributed; Dan
tic hit for a home run and Graft
his for a home run, a three-bagger
and a single.
Laurel lineup:
Revel, left field; Huschka, second
oase; Wagner, shortstop; Dantic,
base; Hodges, right field;
catcher; Freund, first base;
center field, and Hirschfelt,
pitcher.
Everyone interested in junior
3all and the future of baseball in
laurel should make every effort
be at the game Thursday eve
ling. The boys need and have
the encouragement that
from a well filled grand
itand; those managing the boys
ay that the finances also need this
,atronage. An advance sale of
ickets will be made-buy yours

CROP PROSPECTS
BRIGHT \ STATE;
GRAIN R|PEN|NG
Some Northern Counties Need
Moisture - Some Winter
Wheat Cut and Shocked

Prospects continue bright fol-
heavier than normal crop produc,
ton in Montana this year. Both
winter and spring grains are ad.
vancing rapidly. Most sections OF
the state report adequate sol
moisture, however, in several areas
additional rainfall will be needed
soon for the full development of
grains. The rate of growth during
the week was average to rapid in
virtually all areas. The harvest
eason will be later than normal
although some fields west and
north of Laurel have been cut and
shocked.
The soil moisture situation ap-
pears good for the state in general,
although several areas west of the
divide and sections of Phillips, Nc
Cone, Dawson, Wibaux and Prairie
counties report shortages of mois-
ture developing. In some of these
areas wheat has begun to burn and
moisture will be needed soon if it
is to fill properly. The rate of
growth was generally average to
rapid throughout the state during
the week except in spots where
drying conditions are retarding
growth. Reports on crop develop
ment indicate the season is now
about 3 days later than normal for
the state. The first week in June,
the season was IS days late. Thus,
the season has advanced consider
ably under the fine moisture and
growing conditions since early
June.
The winter wheat is filling rap
idly and. some is ripening. In the
central and north central portion
of the state most of the winter
wheat is in the milk or dough
stage, with a few fields beginning
to ripen. Along the Yellowstone
river, winter wheat is farther ad-
vanced with most of it ripening.
In several irrigated areas, cutting
and binding of winter wheat is now
in progress. Spring wheat is adj
vancing rapidly, with about rs
per cent of the acreage headed out.
Sugar beets are making excellent
growth, and in most areas pros
poets are good for a heavy crop
this fall. The second crop of alfalfa
promises to be excellent. The first
crop was cut prematurely in many
sections, permitting a heavy
growth for the second cutting. The
development of corn is generally
satisfactory in the chief corn grow ,
areas of eastern Montana. In
several other sections where corn
of minor Importance, develop y,
ment has been satisfactory.
Ranges continue in very good
condition in all areas of Montana. I
grasses, as we'll as crested {

tut for hay. The range grass has l

Britons Hk Formosa
By MichoeI Dovidson

TAIPOH. Formosa.-British
businessmen in Formosa who
want to visit Hong Kong or
bring in foreign additions to
their staffs are finding it in
creasingly difficult to get entry
or re-entry visas from the
Chinese Nationalist authorities.
This development, they say, is
a direct result of the harsh and
unreasonable attitude of the
Hong Kong immigration au-
thorities toward granting visas
to Chinese who want to 60 to
Hong Kong from this island.
The Australian manager of
one firm has just been refused
a re-entry visa into Formosa
for his English wife though he
himself was granted one.
You're Australian" the Chi

although, of course, that service
would be given, too," Mr.. Gal
lagher explains. Z
SURVEY FINDINGS
Lots of people get into diff
ficulty because they fail to take
a little precaution. Take the
veteran who came to my atten-
ton recently. He had sold his
old car for 5000 on time pay
ments to a man who resold it
and left the State without COM
pleting his payments. At that
point it was very difficult to help
the veteran. But if he had con-
suited a lawyer at the time OF
the sale, his attorney could have
worked out conditional sales
contract or a chattel mortgage
which could have given him Sc
curity for payment of the
money"
The drive to establish lawyer
reference plans nationally fol-
lowed a national survey spon-
sored by the ABA and directed
by Reginald Heber Smith, Bos-
ton lawyer. 1t was started after
the bar became alarmed by re-
ports that a number of the Ma
tion's 10000 lawyers did not
earn enough for a minimum
standard of living.
The survey turned up some
vital statistics about the vast
middle class: Many need legal
services for such problems as
drawing wills, buying, selling or
leasing property; settling estates,
filing income taxes and the like.
But only three out of five of
those questioned used lawyers
services. Many did not know q

feared drawn-out litigation and
big bills. If they did seek law 4

Need a Lawyer?'

NEW YORK.-Everybody, it

which pales at a lien and is
baff1ed by a contract.
The rich get barristers with
their first fortunes. Various
organizations provide charity
legal advice for the impover-
ished. But the average citizen
has legal problems, too, and
often does not know where to
turn for advice.
Now the American Bar As
sociation has a plan to, give
him a hand. The plan is also
designed to head off a threat of
socialized law.
In all cities of more than
10000 the ABA urges establish
ment of a service providing
legal advice at moderate cost
to millions of moderate income.
The service is now operating in
80 cities as the lawyer refer
ence plan and the ABA, a ma
tional association of lawyers.
has just launched a Nation
wide campaign to assist local bar
associations in starting it in
almost Ann more
The association sent a blue
print to 1,100 local bar associa-
tions. Harold J. Gallagher,
ABA president, started a speak,
ing program which will take
him into many States and
called a Chicago conference of
presidents of State bar associa-
tions on February 25. He also
appointed a national commit
tee of lawyers, headed by Will
liam M. Wherry of New York,
to promote the project.
The lawyer reference plan is
only one phase of an all-out
ABA drive to increase the legal
professions unity. efficiency
and service to the public. Other
phases include closer teamwork
between the ABA and local and
State bar associations as well
as numerous changes in legal
procedure,

above the belt it's all right" he
said. Sometimes some of the
boys, bent on making medicine,
slam below the belt. But I guess
that's part of the setup. I have
a little fun with the boys myself
on occasion"
There was one occasion during
the interview when Mr.. Pike,
white-haired and ruddy of face,
lost his amiability. He mentioned
DR.. Karl Fuchs, German born
British scientist, who confessed he
gave his atomic information to the
Russians. Then the new Acc
head became bitter.
SERIOUS SIDE
"The smallest thing we know
OF is the nucleus of the atom he
said. But I know If you would
look into Fuchs for his soul you
would find something smaller
than that"
When called on to discuss him
self Mr.. Pike adopts the ex-
trovert's practice of keeping the
talk from becoming too serious.
But there are plenty of examples
OF his serious side in his speeches.
He has made many and they are
not ghost written.
In one speech he said we must
go on the offensive, stay on the
offensive and step up the often
sive. In cold war as in any
other type of conflict this is the
best defense" He continued:
I'VE are not trying to belittle,
outfank, undermine, embarrass,
weaken or otherwise injure the
Russian people. We are not try
ing to destroy their system of
government if they want it and
we're not trying to prevent them
from realizing a rightful ambi-
ton for better life for the mil
lions of human beings for whom
the iron curtain cannot shut out
the suffering that war can bring.
I'VE are, however. going to see
to 1t that nobody does these things
to us.
Then, what kind of an offensive
