But, Not In Montana :.
It's Bargain Time
For u. S. Motorists

NEW YORK-From Boston to Dal
las, and on out to the Pacific Coast
''cut rate signs are going up at gaso
line stations. A typical bargain, in E
Boston suburb: gasoline that normally
sells at 80 cents a gallon for 1917
cents.
Behind the "price vars, oil-com-
pany officials spot these trends: A
big build-up in gasoline inventories,
which now stand at 8.5 billion gal
Ions. A tendency for major compa-
MES to spur competition by selling
gasoline to their dealers at less than
cost. A general business recession
that is cutting down on pleasure driv-
ing.
Where will it all end? Industry
spokesman don't like to predict, but
one industrial economist puts it this
way: From where sit, it looks as
if the situation is going to get worse
before it starts getting better. -

In writing Ernest Salvas. chairman
of the Mine-Mill committee. Murray
stated that "a copy of this letter is
being sent to our Building Inspection
Department and also to all architects
now working on plans for State build
ings, and | can assure you and your
committee that the architects here
after will endeavor to specify copper
to be used whenever possible"
Noting that installation of copper
might represent an additional initial
cost of about 10 per cent on plumbing.
Salvas said investigation showed that
''the use of copper in plumbing and
heating installations because of it's
greater durability would over the
years, be definitely more economical
installation due to reduced mainte-
lance and replacement costs"

State Teachers
Salaries Ninth In
Western Sfntes

The average salary paid to Mon
tana teachers this year ranks ninth
IN the averages for the eleven west
ern states according to d. d. Cooper,
executive secretary of the Montana
Education Association. This position
is one step lower than last years
eighth place ranking for Montana.
In commenting on the ranking,
Cooper said, Montana teachers haye
slipped another notch salary-wise in
comparison with other states as sala-
ries paid to teachers in the other
western states have increased more
than they have in Montana" Citing
California as an example where the
average salary for teachers this school
year is $5,925 or $1,7OO more than
Montana's average. Cooper stated that
the Pacific Coast states are increas-
ing their margin and as result are
attracting many of Montana's quail
fled teachers each year.
MEA research statistics show
that over 800 teachers did not re-

Cooper said, "The loss of 21O badly /
needed new teachers and the large
lumber of experienced teachers who
ire not teaching here this year re-
ulted largely from more attractive
alary conditions in other states"
Referring to the recommendation
f the Montana White House Con-
erence on Education which called

copper stated that 1--WE have lost
