HIGHWAY SAFETY IS
STRESSED AT ROTARY
The unusually heavy toll of hu
man life in recent weeks 'on Mon
tana highways, several of which ac
cidents have occurred in the vicin
ity of Laurel, was the basis for
highway safety program Tuesday
at the meeting of the Rotary club.
Dan Barney of the Montana Motor
Transport association, and two
highway patrolmen, William Mad
lena and James Frythal, were
speakers. Supplementing their ad
dresses were two motion picture
films depicting right and wrong
driving.
The speakers were introduced by
Wayne Hageman, member of a Lau
rel trucking concern and conse
quently intimately acquainted with
the hazards of highway travel.
Barney, the first speaker, said
pleasure car drivers should have the
same protection as trucks, which are
required by law to carry and use,
when necessary, warning flags,
lights and fusees to protect them
against being run into by other
vehicles should the trucks be tem
porarily disabled on the road,
car drivers, he said, have no such
protection. As an illustration he
mentioned the death of one Stod
dard, a former Laurel telephone
employee, who was killed last week
near Bozeman as he was working
on his stalled car. Another was
the death of Judge Stong the
The
highway leading south from Laurel.
Barney strongly recommendad
that car drivers provide themselves
with the same protection as truck
ers—flags, lights and fusees—to
be immediately placed fore and aft
in event of a car breakdown, espec
ially at night.
The two patrolmen gave definite
directions for avoiding many of the
common accidents. They stressed
not passing near the crest of a hill,
not passing on blind curves, not
crowding a vehicle in front, not
taking right-of-way for granted,
being careful on wet roads, not
driving fast on weak tires, and a
number of other commonsense ad
monitions. They said safe driving
can be made a habit as easily as
dangerous driving.
The pictures had been designed
for viewing by truck drivers, but
the principles applied equally to car
drivers. They illustrated many of
the above points. A fact mentioned
but not generally known is that
cars are required by law to dim
lights when appreaching another
car from front or rear.

Battleships Are Still
Top in Naval Flans
Aircraft Carriers to Have
Second Place.
WASHINGTON. — The navy has
drawn plans for its postwar fleet al
locating a secondary position to air
craft carriers, it was learned here,
despite the leading role played by
naval aviation in both the Atlantic
and Pacific theaters.
| under construction,
tnree CVB's w'ere being built and
one has since been commissioned,
At that time there were also 23 bat
tleships afloat and two building,
The number of large carriers
would be cut to less than a third of
the present total afloat or building,
while the number of battleships
would be reduced only about half.
This would mean a peacetime
carrier force of perhaps 10 carriers
of the 45,000-ton Midway or CVB
class and the 27,000-ton Essex or CV
class, with probably a dozen battle
ships.
Navy reports showed that on July
1 there were 20 CV's afloat and nine
In addition,
Battleship - minded top officials
have forbidden public discussion of
these plans by the so-called "air
admirals."
In the Atlantic, baby flattops,
known as CVE's and built on cargo
ship hulls, were credited with beat
ing the Nazi U-boat threat.
In the Pacific, the carriers became
capital ships and all operations were
built around them.
They spear
headed every major move in the
drive toward Japan.
When the war started there were
but seven large carriers and 6,000
Navy pilots. The Japanese cut the
number of carriers to three. By the
end of the war there were two dozen
large carriers, eight light or cruiser
class carriers and 70 escort carriers
with 55,000 navy and marine pilots.
Compared with seven carriers for
6,000 pilots, the present peace-time
outline calls for around 18,000 naval
aviators with but 10 carriers. Train
ing time at sea presumably would he
reduced sharply from the prewar
standard.
Most of Imperial Palace
Destroyed During War
TOKYO.—Emperor Hirohito's im
perial palace, with the exception of
one wing containing kitchens and
banquet halls, was burned to the
ground during the war, Brig. Gen.
Elliot R. Thorpe said.
But, Thorpe added after a person
al inspection, the palace was ignited
by sparks from other blazing build
ings in Tokyo and not from fire
bombing by American Superfor
tresses.
The American officer said that
Hirohito now is living in an area
which had been set aside as a
memorial to his marriage.
Thorpe made the military inspec
tion tour, the first of the Japanese
palace area in history, after a Jap
request had been made for the re
tention of 4,000 guards for the im
perial households in Tokyo and else
where in the country.
He said the palace grounds were
generally in a run-down condition
and that:
"I was amazed at the apparent
lack of planning of the layout of the
interior grounds. It was just like
Topsy—it Just grew.
"There were many wooden build
ings and wooden fences, all packed
closely together and all constituting
a good fire hazard."

20 Truckloads of Arms
Seized in Jap Homes
TOKYO. — Twenty truckloads of
arms and ammunition have been
gathered from private homes of Japs
in Tokyo by American authorities
working on a secret roundup with
Jap police for four days.
Capt. Michael G. Frisch, Ithaca,
N. Y., assistant provost marshal,
said the roundup was made only as
a precautionary measure.
The arms ranged from modern
military pieces to quaint museum
items and Samurai swords dating to
the days of the Jap feudal system.
knives with blades nine inches or
longer, were confiscated.
Jap Fleet Chief Killed
Fleeing American Raid
TOKYO. —Adm. Mineichi Koga,
former commander in chief of the
Jap combined fleet, was killed in a
plane crash in March, 1944, while
fleeing a heavy American air raid
on the Palau Islands, the newspaper
Asahi reported.
After a furious American attack,
the admiral and his staff decided
they had better get out, Asahi said
Jap sources disclosed. They board
ed flying boats for Cebu in the Phil
ippines.
Koga's plane ran into a thunder
storm and crashed into the sea. All
aboard were lost, including Koga's
aide, a Captain Yamaguchi.
Cage Even Fails to
Curb Thieving Crow
CLEVELAND.—They put Sammy,
the incorrigible thieving crow, in
solitary confinement at Brookside
zoo after he stole a set of automo
bile keys.
But they haven't stopped Sammy
from stealing. Recently he grabbed
a quarter from a seven-year-old girl
j and hid it in his cage. Her cries
j caused quite a commotion until the
quarter was returned.

This is an orphan's grace, and judging from the expressions it should ;
be a matter of top priority. These children are some of the 50 war- j
destitute orphans in Dr. Barnard's home in Kelvedon, England. Grace i
before a meal is an important part of the children's training. Many of
the English orphans are being aided by help sent from the United States.
Metal Trim
Gold or silver-trimmed dishes
should be washed with mild soap.
Strong soaps, ammonia, or wash
ing soda all destroy metal trim.
Silkworm Moth
The moth of the silkworm has lost
the ability to fly and is completely
dependent upon man for survival.
