VETERANS PLAN
OBSERVANCE Of
MEMORIAL DAY
Posts, Auxiliaries, Others To
Assemble For Paying Re-
SpectS To Deceased

Laurel posts of the American
Legion and Veterans of Foreign
Wars will pursue their custom of
jointly paying their respects the
morning of Memorial day to de-
ceased veterans of all wars in
which Americans have fought.
They will assemble at the high
school at 9 o'clock Tuesday morn
ing and will go to the Laurel
cemetery at 9:30 for the ceremony
of respect to the memory of the
departed.
Assisting will be the posts aux
iliaries, who will decorate veterans
graves with flowers. A speaker
not yet announced will deliver an
address at the cemetery.
Memorial or Decoration day is
generally observed May 80 each
year in the northern states. The
custom, now nationwide, was
first inaugurated by the women of
the south who, in the first days
of early spring, went out to strew
flowers on the graves of their be-
loved dead. This example was i'm
itated at various places in the
north. In 1868, General John A.
Logan, then commander-in-chief
of the Grand Army of the Repub-
lie, issued an order designating
May 80 as day for decorating
soldiers graves. Since that time,
the day has become the occasion
in most states for the commemo-
ration of deceased American serv-
ice men and women, and in many
localities, of all dead.

SATURDAY, MAY q,
LAUREL POPPY DAY

Saturday, May 27, was declared
Poppy day in Laurel by Mayor
Thomson in a proclamation issued
today. The mayor called upon all
citizens to observe the day by
wearing memorial poppies in honor
of the dead of the two world wars.
The proclamation stated:
Whereas twice in the past 80
years the United States has been
forced to defend it's freedom
against powerful enemies seeking
to establish world domination; and
Whereas the lives of many
young men of Laurel were sacri-
ficed in these conflicts; and
Whereas the memory of these
heroic dead is cherished by, and
is an inspiration to, us all as we
contend with the problems of to-
day; and
Whereas their service and sacri-
flee is symbolized by the memorial
poppy of the American Legion and
American Legion auxiliary; now
therefore
81, Peter D. Thomson, mayor of
the city of Laurel, do hereby pro-
claim Saturday, May 27, 1850, to
be Poppy day in the city of
Laurel, and urge all citizens to
observe the day by wearing the
memorial poppy in honor of those
who died for America in World
wars | and H."

was used for burials until a new
and more popular cemetery was,
created southwest of the Park
City townsite. Some of the remains
were moved to the new location,
but several of the pioneers are
still at Square butte. The site was
almost forgotten until volunteer
committee restored it to the pub
lies remembrance by having it
officially recognized as cemetery
and decided to the Park City Gem
etery association for preservation
Most of the expense has been
the purchase of a suitable monu-
ment, which has now been set. It

people still buried in the plot in
cluding two men who were killed
in an Indian fight many years ago

WARN EMPLOYERS
Of CHILD LABOR
Department Issues Bulletin In
Regard To Employment
Of Children

The department of agriculture
labor and industry, through its Di-
vision of Labor, has issued a bull
letin pertaining to the employment
of minors. This bulletin is entitled
"Rules and Regulations for the
Employment of Minors" and it con-
tents are of vital Importance to
all employers, particularly those
who employ young people during
the vacation period or after school
hours. The bulletin is being dis
tributed by the Montana employ
ment offices and if employment of
fices are not available a copy may
be obtained by writing to the de-
partment of agriculture, labor and
industry, division of labor, Helena.
Employers attention is directed
to the requirement that for each
minor employed, the employer must
have on file an age certificate
(work permit) issued by the divi-
sion of labor, Helena. Failure of an
employer to have such certificate
is a violation of law even though
the employment of the minor
would otherwise be legal.
Robert C. Brown, chief of the
division of labor, states that the
large increase in the number of
for age certificates over
pre-war years indicates that a
large number of employers are
with the rules, a maj
ority perhaps. 1t is known, how
ever, that some employers, either
through ignorance of the law or
because of Indifference have failed
to comply.
This is true, particularly with
respect to owners or operators of
alleys. There are large
of bowling alleys through
out Montana and the files of the
labor division do not show many
age certificates being issued to
5hem for employment of children,
most of them do employ
minors as pin settlers. This is a
condition which the division of
abor is determined to remedy.
The procedure set up the divi-
sion with the approval of the |
United States department of labor
S not so cumbersome as to require
| great amount of the employers
ime in order to comply with the
aW.
The most important require
nents of the child labor laws are
briefly as follows: DO
IOT employ a minor at any oc-
upation without first obtaining an
ge certificate from the division
labor. DO NOT offer employ
1ent to a minor less than Is years
f age when it is known that the
ccupation will require work
round machinery. DO NOT en-
10y a minor less than 18 years
age at extra hazardous work
coal mining, handling explosive,
iggers, certain occupations in ,
awmills, etc.. DO NOT employ j
minor less than 16 years of age I
uring the hours that school is in
ession without permission from ;
ne local school superintendent be- I
ause an age certificate will not be j
;sued by the division of labor un- {
,ss proof is at hand that the t
linor has completed the eighth Z
rade of schooling. !

GRADUATING BOYS ARE
GUESTS OF ROTAR|ANS

Twenty-three of the 26 senior
boys who will be graduating next
week from Laurel high school were
guests of the Laurel Rotary club at
it's weekly luncheon Tuesday. B. M.
Harris, president of the Yellow
stone banks in Laurel and Colum-
bus, was the speaker and was in
troduced by Merritt Williams of
the May program committee.
Guests and visitors at the ses-
sion, in addition to the graduates
elect, were Charles H. Lincoln of
Cashmere, Wash, and his COM
panion,, Arthur Barth, and DR.. Will
liam d. Copeland of Billings,
Prin. John G. Macdonald of the
Laurel high school, and Clinton
Anderson of Laurel. At the re-
quest of Williams, Macdonald in
troduced the high school boys.
Pres. Wayne Hageman reminded
the Rotarians of an inter-city
meeting to be held Wednesday eve
ming this week in Powell, Wyo. He
said about 16 would attend from
Laurel.
Harris, addressing the young
men who are about to complete
their high school work, told them
that the next four years will be
the most important in their lives,
whether they go from high school
to college or to employment. Either
way they will learn some import |
ant facts. An observation on rela- !
tive importance of things: "It's not |
where you came from that counts,
it's where you finish"
In Missoula last week Harris
learned that Dick Moran from
Laurel is making a good record in
school. The Kaimen, school paper
published on the university cam
pus, recently listed IL young men
who had been chosen from the stu
dent body Of $500 to serve on the
Mortar board. OF the ~, two were
from Laurel-Don Graft and
George Fox. Harris said he "was
exceedingly happy and proud" that
his honor had come to Laurel.
