Beginning This Week 5:30 Is
:
j
Hour Instead Of Previdus
8 P. M. For
A large majority of effected re
tail store managers, at a meeting
of the Laurel Commercial club's I
retail trade committee Monday ,
evening this week, adopted 5:30 I
d m as their Saturday elrvune
time?'tire ime as th. «ve X?
business days of the week. The
decision is immediately operative,
beginning with the current Satur
day. The previous Saturday clos- 1
Saturdays
ing time for most of the stores j
had been 8 p. m.
The businesses involved are prin
cipally food stores, hardware con
cerns x and general merchandise
stores. Others, like those dealing
in drugs or operating barber shops
or restaurants, are still governed
by their own and their customers'
needs, with hours to fit.
The principal reason given by
the retailers for their change was
convenience of their employees,
many of whom have previously |
had to work unusual hours to keep
the stores open until 8 o'clock.
People working in stores, whether!
employees or managers, enjoy hav
ing their Saturday evenings off
like other people.
Many of the stores are recom
mending that their customers do
their shopping between 9 a.m. and
5 p. m. every business day as a co
operative action and for good ser
vice. The employees come at 8:30
in the morning and leave at 5:30 in
the afternoon, but in many cases j
they actually have to use a half
hour at both ends of the day to
open and close the place of busi
ness. This is true especially of
grocery stores.
HOOVER COMMISSION
REPORT IS OUTLINED
Although the Hoover commis
sion's non-political investigation
and report on the federal govern
ment's structure and cost of
ation has been made to congress
and released to the public, the
Junior Chamber of Commerce or
ganization of the United States is
of the opinion the citizens of the
country should tell their repre
sentatives and senators in congress
they want the report's findings
used for corrections. William H.
Bellingham, Billings attorney con
nected with the firm of Brown &
Davis, related some of the findings
and recommendations in an address
Wednesday evening at a meeting
of the Laurel Kiwanis club, and
ended by offering petitions to sign.
He suggested that the signers also
write to Washington, stating their
by congress in 1947. Since then
it has been known as the Hoover
commission because former Presi
dent Hoover became -its chairman.
Composed of six Democrats and six
Republicans, who were assisted byj
300 specialists and a corps of
oihers, the commission operated 24
task forces who turned in 18 divi- 1
sional reports on defense, labor, ;
commerce and various government- j
al services. By initial agreement
the report was confined to organ-1
opinions and wishes.
The commission was authorized
ization and framework of the gov
emment, a household affair, and
to the costs and efficiency of
housekeeping. Short and long
range policies were not included.
The government of the United
States is definitely big government,
But despite whether it is too big
or too little, two revelations of the
composite report have struck the
public: duplication of services and
stupendous costs traceable to in
efficiency and over-organization,
The general opinion of most people
is that government, whether local
or national, should be efficient. In;
dollars the report is said to point
the way to an annual saving of
three or four billion.
Another thing brought to light
was the Jack of a clear line
authority from the top to the
bottom, also that the offices of
top-flight executives are in several
instances understaffed. So many
of the services are responsible to
the president that no one in the
presidential chair can keep track
of them. The report suggested
that 66 of the services under the
supposed control of the president
be reduced to 23.
Bellingham, under the head of
duplication, mentioned two well

formal program at its meeting
Tuesday noon, giving the time in
stead to a general discussion of
affairs of state and government
finances.
B. M. Harris was requested to
tell something of his intended trip
east. He said it was a conference
called by American Bankers as
sociation he would be attending
and that the conference hoped to
arrive at something definite on
credits. About 50 or 60 men from
over the nation will be at the l
gathering in New York, represent-1
ing sections of the Federal Re- ;
serve system. I
A Rotary member asked the |
banker, "Just what's behind ourj
money?" That brought on an ex
planatory recital in which Harris
traced the history of money, the
successor of goods barter, to the
point where, as man's thought and
of:his business affairs became more
complicated, there had to be more
changes, with money finally rep
resenting credit,
Then to explain the explanation,
credit was defined as the capacity
and wall of an individual or a
group to produce, coupled with
ability to pay. A final attempt at
explanation was that people have
to have confidence in one another
if the money is to be any good.
Worthington Smith of Billings
was a visitor at the meeting, and
H. E. Nelson of Glendive and B.
B. Hageman of Laurel were guests.
Pres. Wayne Hageman welcomed
the return of O. K. Chapman who
had been ill, and reported the

Here it accounts for $4,500,000 that

As
I It was thought best to vest the
■ title in the Park City Cemetery
j association, which operates the!
cemetery that was established
j some time after the settlement of
i Bark City. It is a corporate body
for which provision is made by
state law and is therefore of a per
manent nature. P
P art of the preliminaries involv
cd a precise description of the
tract, G. W. Fenton of Laurel,
the son of a pioneer family, assist-1
e<* in the surveying work and other
details referrwl to him. With!
Keefer, Brown, Corwin, Price and !
Fenton cooperating, the old ceme- !
tery became an intercommunity
1 project. Last summer, before title
! had been granted by the state, they
enclosed the area and seeded it to
j crested wheatgrass, a plant that
( does well on unirrigated land, soj
; that the cemetery would be always,
i green. They deckled that an ap
propriate name would be Pioneer
cemetery, a title accurately de
scriptive.
Last summer a stranger passing
through Park City in an automo-1
bile stopped at a filling station and
inquired about the location of the;
old cemetery. He said his sister
had been buried there many years
ago and he wished to visit her
grave. Unfortunately the attend
ant of whom he inquired was not
acquainted with local history and
was unable to tell him the location
or to direct him to one who knew,
The stranger, an elderly man, must
have been a small boy when his
sister died.
While the work of acquiring
title was in progress an interest
* n P discovery was made. Hazelton
il rothers ' ^"ders of the Billings
Monument company at 3523 Mon
avenue, Billings, established
their business many years ago. To
them the presenters of the old
cemetery went in their quest for
i information. An associate who had
been with the Hazeltons about 25
years said there was an old mon
ument on the premises that was
there when he came. It had been
ordered for placement in the old
Park City cemetery, but no one
had ever come for it and he did
not know how old it really was.
It was still in its original crate,
