Girl Scouts Hold Court Awards Saturday Evening

The Girl Scouts held their Court of Awards last Saturday evening with an entertainment for their families and friends.
 The guests were welcomed by Mrs. Luther Dunbar who has been on the Girl Scout committee since the Girl Scouts were organized in Nome, and who is retiring this year. Mrs. Dunbar told of the growth of scouting in Nome and how it is still expanding to meet the needs of the girls.
 Second Class Badges were pre- sented to the following girls: Sadie Bell, Wanda Beltz, Suzanne Fagerstrom, Ruth Glavinovich, Patricia Herman, Christine Hu- dert, Jeannie Mogg, Madeline Mogg, Arlene Muller, Cecelia Ok pealuk, Ann Peterson, Helen Sah- lin, Mary Swanberg.
 They were awarded by Mrs. Eugene Gallagher, leader of the troop.
 First Class Badges were awarded to Diane Boucher, Mary Jeanne Boucher, Carolyn Glavinovich, Andrea Hudert, Maureen Hudert, Sigrid Olson. The awards were made by Mrs. Carl Glavinovich.
 The coveted curved bar was awarded to Mary Jeanne Boucher and Sigrid Olson. This is the first time the curved bar has been awarded to any girl scouts in Nome and requires considerable work, according to the leaders.
 Mrs. Dunbar was presented with a beautiful ivory pin for her years of service in the group. Mrs. Flu gene Gallagher and Mrs. Carl Glavinovich were awarded "thank you" badges" in appreciation for the sincere work with the troops as leaders.
 The new scout committee is composed of Mrs. Carl GlavinO- vich, Mrs. Pearse Walsh, Esther Mccoy, Mrs. Gus Bjonstad, Mrs. Charles Fagtrstr0m, Mrs. C. C..

CHe dHCl-CfuSC laws by approving the
Miller-Tydings Act, which was push
ed by powerful business Hobbies.
The "Fair Trade" laws allow man
ufacturers to fix the prices at which
retailers must sell their products.
The Supreme Court recently struck
heavy blow at these laws by ruling
that no retailer is bound by them I'M
less he voluntarily signs an agree
ment to sell at the manufacturers
fixed price.
That court decision touched off
the price war" but is not the main
reason for it, in the opinion of many
business observers. They say mer-
chants are only too glad to find an
excuse for cutting prices to unload"
tremendous stocks of goods they have
been unable to sell at the high fixed
prices.
The extent of the robbery which
has been going on is illustrated by
by these examples of the price cuts:
The S. Klein department store in
New York this week began selling
watches for half the prices fixed by
manufacturers. Three of the latter
rushed to court for an injunction
against Klein, but did not get it, af-
ter Klein's lawyer told the judge
this:
These watch companies price
fix watch at $71.5O, for exam
pie, and we can sell that same
watch for $36, at profit. Does
MT the public benefit by this"
Other examples of the reductions
from the Fair Trade" prices, by var
ious stores in New York and else
where are:
Fountain pen, from 1895 to $1.94;
portable typewriter, from $68 to
$44.95; aspirin, from SO cent to II

cents; smoking pipe, from $500 to
$2.79; coffee percolator, from $29.95
to 1888; pressure cooker, from
$15.95 to 1892.
Almost any number of other exam
pies could be cited, including drastic
cuts in the prices of mems and wo-
mems clothes. In New York, the
number of items slashed ran into
many thousands. In Louisville and
Lexington, Kentucky, prices of about
1000 different products were re-
duced as much as 80 per cent. 1t
was much the same in other places.
Altogether, these large and wide
spread cuts indicate that ''Fair Trade
price fixing has cost consumers bill
lions of dollars over the years. Prob
badly buyers would not be getting
break now, despite the Supreme
Court decision, if merchants were
not hard-pressed by what they call
their inventories" their over
loaded stocks of goods.
That was frankly admitted this
week by Mrs. Sarah Penoyer, vice
president and sales promotion direc-
tor of James McCreery & Co., in a
talk to the Advertising Federation at
New York. Tossing what she called
a "bombshell" she said:
"Stores began scare buying
about year ago." after the Korea
war broke out. eve fastened to
buy, but housewives did not buy
us out.
"You have seen the price war blaz-
ing brightly and spreading, not only
because of the Supreme Court deci-
sion on the Miller-Tydings Act, but
also because stores are not sorry to
liquidate inventories heavier than
they like"

GOVERNOR OPPOSES
GIVING CANADIANS THIRD
OF LIBBY DAM POWER

Expressing the opinion that grant
of one third of the total power pro-
duction of the proposed Libby dam
to the province of British Columbia
Ewould be against the best interests
of the State of Montana, Gov. John
w. Bonner has advised A. o. Stanley,
chairman, International Joint Com
mission, that such a grant would be
unjustified.
The province of British Columbia
has requested that the commission
approve certain conditions, one of
which is:
that in recognition of the
physical contribution of British
Columbia to the project, there shall
be delivered from the power de-
veloped as the result of the pro-
posed works to a point on the
British Columbia border for use in
British Columbia such amount of
electrical energy as the commits
sion shall deem appropriate.
Stating that he understood the
Canadians expect to receive one third
of the power production, the Cover
nor said,' 4 believe that such a grant
of power . would be against the
best interests of the State of Montana
and of the United States, both of
which are making huge investment
to the dam, and I believe further
that such grant \. would be con-
trary to existing law.
at is my opinion" he concluded,
"that Canada will be extremely bene-
fitted by the construction of the dam
within her own borders by the reduc-
ton of flood damages and by increas-
ed power output. :. :. can assure you
that there will be strong and merited
from Montana to sending
any substantial amount of power out
of Montana to Canada because of the
Libby DAM"

Formal organization of the Mon
tana Mental Health Society in Hell
ena June 16, climaXed many years of
work and effort by interested citi-
zens in the problems of our mental
institutions, the growth of the
state mental health clinics and the
problems of mental health at all lev
els of social endeavor.
Preceding the organization meet
ing of the Montana Mental Health
Society, the interim committee met
Friday afternoon, June Is. This
committee will eventually, it is hop
ed, be absorbed by the state society,
when that group is in full swing.
However until this can be accomplish
ed the interim committee will pro-
coed with definite action on the
problems of the two state mental in
situations which is their immediate
concern. Interim committee discus
sion conferred around the difficulty
of securing funds for the necessary
improvements and additional facil-
tiles at Boulder and Warm Springs.
Following survey which is going
to be made at these two institutions
by representatives. of the Public
Health Service at the request of the
committee and the Governor, pro-
gram of development will be compiled
for the long-range program the COM
mittee has been working on the past
year.
Committees were appointed by
chairman, DR.. A. E. Atkinson, Mon
tana State University, Missoula, to
prepare for consideration of the in
term committee, the necessary data
for presenting to the people an in
itiative voting mill levy to finance
improvements.
Friday evening the Montana Men
tai Health Society had banquet at
the Placer Hotel. DR.. M. A. Ruona,
private practicing psychiatrist in Bill
Iings spoke, followed by DR.. Winfield |
Wilder of the state mental health
clinics. DR.. Ruona outlined the part
a mental health society can play in
he mental health problems of the

state. He emphasized the need for
getting away from the "ancient and
archaic practices of IAN eye for an
eye and a tooth for tooth y, and
the acceptance of the &C.. new Tes-
lament and mature realization that
irresponsible individuals are sick in
dividuals". He outlined the nature
of mental health and the part laymen
might play in mental health activities.
He stressed the mature consideration
of the whole individual in all cases
of mental disturbances and in par
ticular the borderline cases.
DR.. Wilder also stressed the need
of such societies to create greater
public maturity. He suggested that
mental health societies could inter
est themselves in education in their
communities by seeing that teachers
hired have education in attitude
training as we'll as academic training
of our children; by demanding more
training in psychiatry than nurses
get at the present time; by more con-
sideration of the ''whys" of emotional
stresses and strains of the child and
the family.
POSTMASTER for the evening was
DR.. Atkinson. He gave resume of
the years of work that have gone
into making mental health program
for the state of Montana a reality.
He paid special tribute to DR.. Gladys
V. Holmes, who pioneered in mental
health in the state and who is at
present with the mental health clinic
in Missoula. There are five mental
hygiene clinics operating in Montana.
Saturday morning the election of
officers for the mental health society
was held. DR.. Atkinson was elected
president; vice president, DR.. L.
Havre; secretary, Frances
Mcdonald, Bozeman; treasurer, Mrs.
H. C. Woods, Helena. Directors are:
Lee Metcalf, Helena; DR.. j. K. Cole

Stringency of the states labor
market conditions is further in
Dictated by the monthly estimates of
total industrial employment as of
May Is. According to Chairman
Miller there were Isl, 800 wage and
salary workers on payrolls in the
state on that date, which is 1920
above the figures of year ago, and
5000 ahead of those for last April.
May was the twelfth successive
than in the same month of the pre-
ceding year, an indication of the
steadily expanding employment econ
only within the state.
Much of the increase from last
year is employment on construction
of dams, highways, bridges and bust
ness or industrial buildings. Resi-
dence construction is requiring fewer
workers than a year ago, partly due
to the uncertainty of building mater
ials. The net result is an increase of
1000 in construction, 1900 in trans
portation and utilities, 900 in retail
and wholesale trade, and minor in
creases in finance, service and gov
eminent.
Mining employment has just been
able to hold its level with year ago
despite the active hiring program in
the metal mines and recruitment of
miners from many distant parts of
the state and nation. Increase of
metal production is a mandate grow
ing out of world and national condi-
tons, and the full stating of the
metal mines is of grave concern, the
UCC chairman concluded.

Reserve labor supply in Montana
dwindled to 4,300 work applicants in
offices of the Montana State En-
ployment Service the last of May
1850 fewer than month before,
5000 below the reserve supply of
year ago, and substantially less
than for any other May since World
War II ended, reports M. Joe Miller,
chairman of the Unemployment Com
pensation Commission.
Normal employment demands in
June and July" Mr.. Miller states,
twill require all of this reserve sup
ply that can qualify for the special
Jobs to be filled. There are bound
to be some shortages, already appar-
ent in the continuing demand for ex-
perienced handbook miners and in
the persistent scarcity of carpenters,
painters, bricklayers, auto mechanics,
engineers and heavy duty equipment
operators"
Additions to the labor supply will
come from a thinning stream of tran
silent farm workers, from school and
college youths released from class
rooms, from older workers re-enter-
ing the labor market and from house
hold members not ordinarily in the
labor force.
Seasonal operations such as high
way construction, numbering and log
ging, forest maintenance, railroad
track work and the two big govern
ment dams at Canyon Ferry and
Hungry Horse, are now approaching
peak capacity. Farm labor demands
will begin to reach peak proportions
about the first of July. The usual
of all these labor re-
quirements through the summer and
fall months appears certain to drain !
