I j Ï A - mot. t ÉÉÉ ? ¥ IT, ■ Os Heavy November Layoffs In Industry (Continued from Page One) which are at a stage permitting inside work through bad weather months. Lumber Jobs Hinge on Prices In the timber areas employment prospects for next spring hinge to some extent upon market develop ments during the winter season. A weaker lumber demand this fall hastened the shutdown date of some plants and increased the lay off extent in others. Demand for Miners Unabated Continuing demand for hard-rock miners gives promise of increasing total employment In the industry through the winter and into next spring. Plans are announced for absorbing 1,000 more experienced miners between now and next May. Most of these recruits must come from outside the state, as the labor markets in Montana have been stripped of applicants available and qualified for this work. More Winter Jobs at Hungry Horse Employment on Hungry Horse dam was down to 520 the last of the month, exclusive of the 325 on reservoir clearing projects and gov ernment employees with the bureau of reclamation. While this is a substantial reduction from the 2,000 level of two months ago, it is still away higher than the 200 of winter employment a year ago. Winter work at the dam is con cerned with the spillway tunnel and the powerhouse, actual pour ing cement ceased November 15 until spring. Pouring Cement at Canyon Ferry Canyon Ferry contractors are making a stern effort to continue cement pouring through the less severe periods of the winter, with the objective of raising the dam level above expected high water mark in the diversion flume next spring. This is intended to avert in terference with the pouring sched ule during the high water period. Employment at Canyon Ferry is around 200 now, probably will sus tain about that level until spring permits its expansion. Hiring dur ing the winter months will be measured by needed replacements. Moderate Reduction on Highways Employment on state highway construction projects and on main tenance work decreased 300 in No vember, mostly from reduction of contractor payrolls. The month's report shows 460 working on road contractor jobs and 730 on the highway commission maintenance crews. In October there were 720 and 750 respectively. There were 97 miles of highway construction under way the first of December, ten bridges were in process of construction, and one stock-piling job was in progress. Work had been suspended on one bridge and 13 road contracts, in volving 117 miles of highway. An other 13 highway contracts had been awarded but work had not yet begun. These represent the backlog of highway employment prospects for next spring. During November there were four road jobs completed, on 47 miles of highway; two bridge jobs and one overpass were completed. Christmas Parties At Chapman Home Mrs. O. K. Chapman's home has been the scene of several Christ mas parties. Last Tuesday afternoon, Laur mont club members were guests. Prizes at bridge went to Mrs. Blanche Alexander, Mrs. R. H. Sterrett and Mrs. B. B. Hageman. A 1:30 luncheon and party on Saturday was for sewing club members and a guest, Mrs. C. G. Spellman. Mrs., Chapman was as sisted in serving by Mrs. J. W. Long, Mrs. Kenneth Walker and Mrs. Leon Foote. Mrs. Ray Stevens, Mrs. Kenneth Walker, Mrs. H. E. Richardson and Mrs. Foote received prizes when a Tuesday bridge club had their party this week.

"School for Santa Clauses," sponsored by a Hollywood actors' organiza tion, is coaching Kris Kringle "doubles" for their roles dur ing the holidays. Cultivation of a hearty, or belly, laugh is in the curricu lum (top photo). Santa is shown how he must open his mouth wide to force booming Ha Ha" through chin brush. Photo in center shows in structor demonstrating ap plication of tourniquet so that Santa will know what to do if a boisterous celebrant happens to injure himself. At bottom, melodious rendi tions of "Silent Night" are practised at each class ses sion. ■ Instead of Wreath, Hang Bells, Ornaments on Door Instead of the conventional wreath on the outside of the door why not string some bells and tree orna ments on narrow baby ribbon and hang from a huge red bow? Make your door and window frames bright and cheerful by framing them with ribbon and sprig« of holly. You can hang the ribbon in festoons across the cur tains and tie at the sides in wide sash bows for colorful effect. Try Outlook Want Ads Kiwanis Speaker Says Families Endangered (Continued from Page One) Public Relations—C. Lowell Bul lis. New Club Building—Jack Pelo witz. Program—James A. Whitson. The after-dinner speaker was Rev. S. L. Garland, pastor of the Church of the Little Flower, Bil lings, whose topic was Family." He was introduced by Whitson of the current program committee. The speaker regarded disinte gration of the American family as a more dangerous national threat than either the A or H bomb. Pointing to the divorce rate, he predicted 1950 will show a million homes broken by divorce in the 12 months. He commented that there is such a thing as freedom becom ing license. He observed that marriage is a natural vocation for the majority of humans and that anything frus trating such natural impulse brings divers and unfortunate results for all concerned—parents and chil dren, with community life affected The happiness, said, is found mostly in pleasant associ ation with others, as in the home circle. A direct quotation: "Un less e put this marriage back into good operation we shall all suffer. Causes cited were the industrial revolution which began with im portant inventions in the eigh teenth century and has since con tinued. Another was the false value of romanticism, employed by many as a substitute for real values. Yet another was lack of housing, with attention called to new one and two-bedroom houses being in the majority. Finally were lax marriage and divorce laws. Back of all, the clergyman said, is the denial of religious authority. He observed that after Christmas too many people discard until Eas ter the religion that Christmas brought into the world. A con cluding thought was that false ideals should be replaced with cor rect ones. Guests at the meeting were An gelo DeCarlo and Richard Dietz of the Laurel high school Key club, and Paul Beyer of the bureau of reclamation. At the meeting of the club two weeks ago, James Severns, sales manager of the Greening Chevro let company, was received as a member. 1 I Faint Before Puttying Putty should not be used to fill cracks and nail holes until after the first, or priming, coat of paint has been applied. Otherwise the wood will absorb the oil and dry the putty, causing it to crumble and fall out. I ■> pJ a I A We're deeply m grateful for KTV 1 ! Kpm the gift of i your friendship.

M. Wold Co Millionaire Says It Takes a 'Ham' To Make a Million NEW YORK — The best way to make a million dollars is to be a "ham" according to a frustrated song and dance man. He should know, because after he flopped in show business he went out and made a million. Walter Shirly, who made $10,000, ! 000 as a real estate man, says from his observations all top flight suc cesses are "hams". Bernard Baruch heads his list, he says, and he does not mean it in any disrespectful sense. "The way I figure it, that's a compliment," he added. Shirley said the nation's elder statesman exposed his sense of the dramatic by preferring a park bench for a conference room. In politics, Shirly offers former Mayor William O'Dwyer as a con sumate example of what he calls the "slow smoked ham". He said, *T first met Bill when he was just thinking about running for office and I told him he ought to let his emotions show more." Shirley added: "He must have taken advice. That farewell to New York city—with tears coursing down his cheeks—was a beauty. In the amusement world, Shirly sees Sherman Billingsley as a ham "with reverse English." "That man acts shy as a mouse, but try to take a picture in his joint without Sherman or one of his ash trays in the camera's path." In the dignified field of labor re lations, Shirley said it's practically impossible to name leaders without also mentioning hams. "It's a toss up between half a dozen, but I'll take Caesar Petrillo as my favor ite." Shirley says he doffs his hat to Gen. Douglas MacArthur as the No. 1 free style Virginia ham in mili tary circles. Says Shirley, "I know for a fact that the guy dyes his hair and then loves to get in a group picture with a bunch of white hair ed generals." No one can be a success, Shirley says, unless he has a strip of ham running through him. Finishes Aid Pocketbook Few purchasers realize the great part that colorful and durable in dustrial finishes now play in mak ing cars, furniture, refrigerators and other household appliances available at prices which so many people can afford. A little more than a quarter of a century ago, for instance, 35 days and 28 or more hand operations were required to finish a high grade automobile. Be cause of the new improved finishes available today, both the time and plant area required for finishing have been reduced to a mere frac tion of that needed 35 years ago. * « JR & ¥ : ß y ■ ^ ¥ ¥ 5? 5? ¥ g sf ¥ 6 ¥ I I ; ¥ ß ¥ m ß 'y ¥ ¥ t« ¥ Just 3 More Days ß ; I ß ¥ !•: cj AND HERE ARE A FEW LAST MINUTE BARGAINS fi ¥ : ¥ /■5 ! i .'■1 Store Open Till 9 P.
