Glacier County Farmers
Urged to Make Known
Help they Will Need

During the past few years the
farmers of this area have had diff
ficulty securing competent help
during the rush season, accord
ing to Monte Ferguson, manager
of the Cut Bank office of the
State Observation-Disclosures
Montana Employment Service.
This is caused by lack of migra-
ton into the area of good farm
hands since this area depends up
on migrant help for most of its
farm operations.
One of the duties of the Mon
tana Employment Service is to
secure and forward labor market
information to concentration
points of labor, such as Mime
apolis and other larger centers.
Applicants for work contact
employment offices in these
areas and are advised where they
are most likely to secure work.
obviously if information as to
labor needs is not sent to these
concentration points Glacier
county will again suffer a labor
shortage" Ferguson pointed out.
Letters have been mailed to all
farmers in the county in the last
few days. These letters have
post card inclosed and prompt re-
turn of the cards will be apprec-
lated, according to the Cut Bank
employment office.
Return of the cards places no
obligation on employers and the
employment office will not send
farm help out unless definite job
orders are listed with the en-
ployment office, Ferguson con-
cluded.

Walt Anderson to Head New
High School Band Organization

Peterson, Lester johnson, Toby
Munroe and Doug Kuster serving
on the committee.
There was some discussion on
the subject of choosing a name
for the organization. 1t was also
agreed that membership in the
organization should be open to
all persons interested in the
band. 1t was also agreed that the
officers and bylaw committee
should have one or more suggest
ed names to present at the next
meeting from which the group
could choose.
Mrs. Parsons was treasurer of
the old organization, and report
ed that the organization will have
$3.50 to start with as this amount
was carried over.
Members were instructed to
think of various ways and means
of raising money, and to present
their ideas at the next meeting.
Doug Kuster gave a very in
teresting talk on the various
phases of the band. He explained
that the 75c a month which band
students have had to pay this
winter, goes into fund estab-
lished for the purpose of paying
for checking and any repair work

two kettle drums at $500, and two
baritone horns at $500.
Kuster also announced that the

however, but the next meeting
will be held in the high school
auditorium Thursday, April Fl at
g pm. Refreshments will be
