PERSONALITY PARADE
The Time She Saw Paris

Ann Stevenson meant to write
a book about going to school in
France.
Il could say chair window and
table in French when I boarded
the liner" the 16-year-old Western
High School junior said.
81 spent the first hour on the
ship running down corridors look
ing for my cabin" Ann recalled.
Then had to find the porter with
my bags. When I did, I thanked
him several times but he just stood
there. Finally he said. No tip

did 1 feel sick. The steward kept
telling me to eat something and
I'd feel better. To please me espe-
cially he produced a big strawberry
Sundae oozing with whipped cream.
That sent me running out of the
dining ROOM"
Ann was an eighth grader at the
Files de Versailles public school for
girls just outside Paris. 1T was
extremely boring to sit in class and
not understand anything. Then.
gradually I began to learn French"
she said. "Once in science class it
was hysterical when the teacher
stopped the whole class for five
minutes while she made me re-
hearse the pronunciation of 'fieur.'
Ann lived with her aunt and
uncle in Paris during her French
school days. Often she was Sere-
naded under the window by men
singing and playing the violin and
banjo. But 1 don't miss them
because they always woke me up"
Ann said. During her one year and
a day away from her home at 2400
Massachusetts avenue NV. Ann
visited Italy, Denmark. England
and Germany as well as France.
Ann found her ninth grade
French class a snap when she re-
turned to Gordon Junior High and
also during her sophomore year at
Western. This year she's in the
French Club at Western and often.
Just for the memories. she reads her
French textbooks from Files de
Versailles.
Ann never wrote her book because
she's very busy with school and
social activities. She's secretary of
both the Student Council and the

Tour Schools

Howard N. and Joe W.-two close
pals. made a tour around their
State in their senior high school
year for three week ends, looking
at campuses. They went into the
buildings and eyed everything, like
other sightSeers. They poked into
empty classrooms on Saturdays
and. twice. listened at doors to
classes in session.
The first time they went into a
dormitory cafeteria, they were quite
Unconscious. but that wore off
when they realized no one noticed
them. They talked to students on
campus and learned some bad
points along with good ones.
In all. they roamed around five
colleges that way and decided two
of them were stand-out favoriteS.
AT that point they did what all
would be-collegianS should do if
they can-went into the admissions
offices and talked with the officials
there. That way they learned
about requirements on high school
grades and courses, and were di-
rected to freshman class advisors.

load in Montana where many jobs are
seasonal. Summer is the time seasonal
workers build up credits for unem-
ployment compensation to tide them
over the greater part of the winter,
therefore it is extremely important
to the Montana economy that sum-
mer employment be high.
But summer, 1857, is tagging far
behind the necessary employment
load, and in Butte, where the econ
omy is almost excessively dependent
on the mines people are saying
Butte is in trouble.
The first Tightening of the belts"
in Butte came the day after election
when the work week was cut back one
day and the family budget of many
miners lost about 100 dollars a month.
At that time there was readjust-
ment of the work force so no men
were laid off.
In July of 1856 the miners had
negotiated three-year contract with
the company and felt enough security
ClACy AA4NCoCOO III 1ASW Gal L p WIZ
so the loss of the extra day four
months later called for considerable
readjustment in family budgets.
There were, in January, 1857,
5000 miners working. The lay-offs
started in March of this year. By June
there were 300 men paying dues
to the Miners Union, and on the
18th day of July there were 1919.
Exact figures on the men working
July % were not available, but the
best estimates are that the previous
week (July 1919 approximately 480
were laid off in the Kelley Mine,
30-35 in the High Ore and % in the
Leonard Fire Fill.
From 5000 working in January
the best estimate today is there
are a little over 2,40O working.
IF the price of zinc drops a frac-
ton of cent further, says Barney
Rask, recording secretary of Butte
Miners Union No. 1, 1--WE expect the
Anselmo to close down and lay off
six or seven hundred more men,.
There has been no hiring for three

Admission Tests For
MSU Law School
Scheduled

The Law School Admission Test
will be given on the Montana State
University campus, Missoula, on Sat
urday, August 10, Dean Robert E.
Sullivan announced. The test is re-
quired of all applicants for admission
to the next term of the MSU Law
School, which will begin in September
The test, used nationally since
1948, is given at selected testing CEN
ters throughout the country, but the
correction and scoring are done by
the Educational Testing Service of
Princeton, N. j. Applications for the
test should be mailed to the Educa-
tional Testing Service in time to reach
Princeton at least 10 days before
the test is given in Missoula, Dean
Sullivan said. Application blanks and
information can be obtained from
the MSU Law School.
No specific legal knowledge is
needed to answer the test questions,
which are designed to measure ability
to read, to reason, and to evaluate
arguments, Dean Sullivan said. The
test is requirement for admission tc
the Law School, but application for
the test does not constitute applica-
ton for admission to the Law School,

the project including Sanders, Miner
al, Lake, Flathead and Missoula coun-
ties.
Up to this time, funds for promo
tDn of the project have been con-
tributed primarily by people in north
west Montana. In addition, the recent
Montana State AFL-CIO convention
voted an initial $500 to help in the
promotional campaign, which, if sue
cessful, will result in an average of
5000 jobs for skilled workers over
the five-year construction period. A
program is now being mapped out,
according to Harlow, to seek broader
financial support for CPD from
throughout the Pacific Northwest and
over the nation.
Referring to the CPD approved
Paradise Dam bill which is to be in
troduced in the Congress, Harlow
says "as it now stands it has been
declared by legislative experts to
be the best project bill, from the
standpoint of local interests, that
they have ever seen. 1t was drafted
from suggestions of members and
local people, and is still open for
further Improvement -
To increase the effectiveness of the
committee in promoting the project,
Harlow also announced that plans are
now underway Subject to approval
of (CPD's) board of directors, to
employ an able young man, trained
in public relations, on part or full
time as finances permit, to help get
the facts to the people and to raise
funds to do it with"

CPD head thinks, "may seem ridicu-

Dear Mr.. Garrison:
For the past several years officials

survey and thereafter tentative pro-
posal. In response to the request of
the National Park Service for a writ
ten proposal in year 1856, we re-
quested, of the Montana Power Com
pany, wholesale power rate and
confirmation of guarantee of power
to fulfill our proposal. 1t was then

City Of Helena
Should Buy Block
Of Cheap Power

Tuesday of this week 53 per
cent of Helena residents voting in
the special water bond election,
voted for the proposal to augment
the city's water supply by pump
ing from the Missouri river.
Pumping, it is estimated, will
cost the city approximately $40,
a year for electricity supplied by
Montana Power Company.
The pubIicIy-built, but presently
captive" Canyon Ferry power
dam lies only 19 miles east of
Helena.
Helena, as a municipality, is en-
titled to preference in purchase
of power from such a publicly
built development.
BY exercising that preference
right the City of Helena can save
many thousands of dollars annually
in power costs which will otherwise
go as a middleman's profit to Mon
tana Power.
1t seems logical and definitely
makes business sense that the City
of Helena should secure a block of
Canyon Ferry power for the ex-
pensive pumping operation ahead.
And, while at it, the City Dads
should also secure enough addi-
tional power to service the city's
street lighting and other power
uses.
How about it, Mayor Brakeman
and your fellow members of the
City Council?

The Mine-Mill union leader esti-
mated that roughly 25 per cent of
the entire production force in lead
zinc mining have lost their jobs in
the past few months of the industry's
recent recession. '"That," Pezzati
said, represents an approximate an
nual wage loss of from $16A to
$181a million" for from $500 to
1900 workers in lead-zinc mining.
This most recent slump marks

sion fever that has shaken this in

BUILDING TRADES YET
The building crafts in Butte have
not felt the impact of the curtailment
of employment in the mines due to
several large construction projects
in process, but business agents for the
Laborers and the Carpenters report
whereas a year ago they were look
ing for men, today there are men
looking for work.
Richard Dickinson, business agent
for the General Laborers, said there
has not been full employment since
the first of the year. He finds lot
of people rustling jobs. About 35 or
40 of his men are out of work. For
his people the downward trend started
towards the end of last summer.
Dickinson has lot of out of town
people stopping in his office looking
for just any kind of work. They come
from the east and the west.
The Carpenters in Butte have only
10 or 13 men not working, said Will
liam J. Fraser, business agent. How
ever, he said, '1ast year we were
looking for men,. He gets about
half-dozen transients a week looking
for work. The future for Butte Car
penters? "There is nothing big in
the way of construction ahead, said
Fraser, "and present jobs will carry
the men through August, but the

on what happens in the Mines.
