Fire equipment already taxed
to capacity was hindered by calls
to fight roof fires at the East
Elm street homes of Leland Red
dick and Mrs. Maude Curry.
Flames also threatened several
telepone poles along the same
street.
The Schumacher fire broke out
shortly after midnight and the
barn and one outbuilding were a
sheet of flame before the family
could be aroused and firemen
summoned.
Schumacher, who had driven to
the quarry fire in a new Ford
sport coupe, believed sparks
from that fire were carried to
his barn in the open rumble seat
of the Ford and were responsible
for the later fire. Destroyed in
the blaze were the Ford and a
Buick Master Six sedan and sew
eral pieces of unused farm equip
ment.
Faced with the $500, 900 loss of
plant and equipment, the Nation
al Lime and Stone company de-
bated for over a week, reversing
themselves several times, before
deciding not to rebuild at their
Bluffton site.
Operations ceased and employ
ees were given opportunities to
transfer to other quarries oper-
ated by the company. The quar-
ry was allowed to fill up and in
later years was used to help cool
the turbines at the Woodcock
electric plant. The quarry has
been unused in recent years al
though village officials have
made several attempts to lease
it for recreational purposes.
Photos for this feature were
supplied by Jesse Yoakam.

HARRY TURNER of c. F. Mis-

packed with approximately 35
nice sized small-mouth bass, blue
gills and jumbo perch, his catch
for the week end at Erieau Bay

Erie. Turner and his wife caught
the fish on night crawlers.
Incidentally ii was their small

A total of 1922 workers were
placed in non-agricultural en-
ployment during March by the
twenty-three local offices of tba
Montana State Employment So
ice according to Chadwick II.
Smith, Chairman of the Unem-
ployment Compensation Commits
sion. He said that this represent
ed a so per cent increase over
March of last year, and was the
seventh consecutive month that
job placement totals exceeded
those of the same month the pre-
vious year. Workers placed in
agriculture numbered 1902, a 7
per cent increase over last year.
Every major industrial group
except metal mining provided
more job openings than last year,
Smith said. He added that de-
spite the month-to-month in
crease in job placements by the
state employment service offices,
there remain many jobs with no
qualified applicants-some of the
positions paying as high as $4,000
a year. The Commissions Inven-
tory of Job Openings for the per-
lod ending April %, shows many
good jobs which remain untitled.
These include, Smith said, many
In professional, managerial, tech
nlcal, and clerical classifications
such as physicians, pharmacists,
mechanical and electrical engin-
GERS, technical writers, nurses,
social workers, stenographers and
typists, and numerous others in
a wide variety of categories and
locations. Many other jobs in
skilled classifications have no
takers, including heavy duty diesel
mechanics, auto mechanics, auto
body repairmen, armature win
der, lumber graders, stationary
engineers, shop foremen, and shift
leaders.
The same shortages of qualified
applicants to fill existing job
orders in Montana are quite gen
eral nationwide, Smith explained,
pointing out that while a hard
core of unemployed continues to
develop among the unskilled and
unframed, shortages of profession
al, skilled, technical and clerical
workers r most likely to con-
tlnue for some time to come.
The only practical solution to
this ever-mounting problem,
Smith feels, appears to be more
education for III high school
graduates and youth before per-
manent entrance into the labor
market, and skill development or
technical training for older work
ers displaced from their jobs by
automation or chronological
changes.

Bicycle Accidents
Caused By Traffic
Violations

CHICAGO - Most bike riders
in accidents with motor vehicles
are violating traffic laws.
I'm four out of five accidents
the bicycle rider is violating a
law" the National Safety Council
asserts. The fact was one of many
obtained from a Council study OF
the circumstances Of bike acci-
dents in the United States.
Forty-two states took part in the
study, and provided this informa-
ton:
/. Between 40O-5OO bike riders
r killed each year in accidents
with motor vehicles. More than
$4,000 bike riders suffer disab-
ling injuries.
2. More than eight out of 10
victims are under 16 years of age.
3. Nearly nine out of 10 are males
when do bike accidents happen?
l. Seven out of 10 occur during
April-September.
2. Seven out of 10 occur during
daylight hours.
3. They occur most often on
Saturday, least often on Sunday.
Strangely enough, the Council
pointed out, in one accident in
three the bicyclist struck the
motor vehicle.
The AZ states taking part in the
study rejected almost unanimous
ly a proposal that bicyclists ride
on the left side of the street facing
traffic.
The states surveyed favor
bicyclists riding on the right side,
and following all rules and reg
ulations pertaining to other We
hicles.
Riding on the left side of the
street, the study indicated, is more
hazardous than riding on the right
side.
What suggestions does the
Council have to keep bike riders
safe?
/. Obey traffic laws - traffic
lights and signs are for bike
riders, too.
2. Stay on the right. Ride with
traffic.
8. Ride single file. Never zig
gag.
a. Make sure your bikes in
good condition.
S. When traffic is heavy at a
corner, get off and push your
bike across the street. Stay with
in the crosswalks.
6. Don't ride your bike at night
unless you have to. And then,
make sure your bike has a light
and rear reflector. Wear clothing
that is light colored or that
shines in the dark SO you can
be e easily by motorists.

Customs Ties
With France \.

Tunisia is ending its customs
agreement with France and will
impose new tariffs.
In o recorded broadcast
speech yesterday he added that
Tunisia will trade freely with
countries In the dollar zone.
$50 far as French products
are concerned" Mr.. Bourguiba
said. "the new tariffs viii be
applied only in the month Of
October, so as to leave the door
open for possibly concluding q
new trade agreement between
Tunisia and France. But this
measure will become effective
Immediately so far as foreign
products are concerned"
France and Tunisia have
been negotiating for months
over various economic and
financial problems that resulted
from Tunisia's independence
from French colonial rule.
In Paris. ofiicials indicated
Frhnce is ready to continue the
negotiations despite Tunisia's
ending Of the customs agree
ment.
Sources close to the French
finance ministry said the main
problems are:
The regulation Of hard cur
rency reserves which Tunisia
has In the franc zone. Talks
about this have been going on
ever since Tunisia detached its
dinar from the franc after
France devalued the franc by
II per cent last December.
The price to be paid by
France for Tunisia's wheat and
wine. largely grown by French
men still living in Tunisia.
Until now, French spokes-

SANTIAGO. Chile. Aug. 81
(AP).-Raul Castro was on his
way back to Havana today
after q self-described goodwill
visit which showed he can't
match brother Fidel when 1t
comes to grabbing headlines.
The youthful commander in
chief Of Cuba's armed forces
excited only the Communists
and other extreme leftists dur
ing his three-day stay. Other
wise he was treated-and acted
like q tourist rather than q
visiting dignitary.
Local Reds took Raul and
his wife Wilma sightseeing in
slum districts, wined and dined
them and saw them on to Lima,
Peru. and home by plane yes
terday.
Raul's flight to Santiago,
widely puhlicized in advance as
being fraught with significance
took on q different twist after
he set out from Havana.
The timing Of his trip seemed
designed to steal the limelight
from the Inter-American For
eign Ministers Conference,

Raul was expected to charge
