Two Highway Changes Seen HELENA (AP)-Two important changes in highway designation in Montana have been approved by the Executive Committee of the American Association of State Highway Officials. U. S. Highway 212 will be changed and extended.
This highway terminated in Miles City, but will now continue west from Broadus through Ashland, Lame Deer and Busby, past the Custer Battlefield to Crow Agency. It will then follow Interstate Route 90 to Hardin, Billings and Laurel. From Laurel it will proceed to Red Lodge and will terminate at Silver Gate. U. S.
312 which presently extends from Miles City to Silver Gate will commence at Broadus and extend northerly to Miles and then follow Interstate City, presently 10, to Billings where it will terminate. A third application, to designate the Central Montana Highway and routes across North Dakota and Minnesota as U. S. 200 extending from Duluth to Missoula was rejected on the grounds that certain portions of the highway were not up to standard. There was no evidence of suffiient through traffic on the proposed route to warrant its inclusion in the U.
S. numbered system. The committee also felt that the proposal was in conflict with the policy of the association to provide the shortest and best route between major control points.

Cops, Firemen Like Pronosed $15 Pay Hike No one was weeping around police and fire stations Friday morning after the Billings City Council budget committee gave tentative approval to $15 pay hike for both departments. They had asked for more.
The request had been for a $25 to a $37.50 per month pay hike. (Another story on page 2.) But as most explained, "We didn't expect to get anything." The $15 approved at Thursday night's budget session will be added to $3.50 longevity increases, giving each fireman and policeman an $18.50 per month hike in All dissatisfaction expressed was over the failure of the differen tial pay for ranks to pass the council. The aldermen laid it aside. Mayor Carl Clavadetscher said Friday the rank pay issue was not closed and "would probably be discussed again." Police Chief R. L.
Wilson had requested a bigger differential in salary between the ranks in the department. Chief Sid. ney Morse had liked the idea too. Last year the department received a $10 increase. "It's just like pennies from one man said.

We shoulda went right on into Berlin and then we wouldn't be where we are now." He took a swallow of beer. "I'm not very smart," he said, "but that's what I said then and that's what I say now." His companion--the one in -looked up. "Where'd you say you were?" he asked.
"Leyte," came the answer. "Out there on Leyte." The man in levis hooted. "How you know so much about the war in Europe," he demanded, "settin' out there in the Pacific?" "Heard it on the short wave. We got it ever' night. On the short wave." Levis banged his glass on the "That's good," he roared.

Overalls said he wasn't too worried about old Krooshev. "Besides," he added, "you gotta remember what we got in Alaska." "Alaska?" came incredulously from Levis. "Whaddya mean Alaska?" A guy, he went on, could stand in Alaska and hit a Rooshian in the mouth with a brick.
"Just never mind," Overalls told him, "you remember what we got up there." And just what, came the question, do we have? It's All There The older man patient. "Read the papers," he said. "Read the papers. We got a spy up there, that's what we got. 'Way up there Alaska.

(Nothing to buy and you need not be present to win) Earlier this week, the city fire department notified the ditch company to cut the weeds along the ditch. The secretary, Miss Mildred Hankins, replied by letter that the company did not consider the weeds a fire hazard and they, would not be cut. The letter also rejected the city's claim for payment for work on the ditch last summer. The mayor told Arnold Kautsky, cemetery superintendent to shut off the water. "We are going to get a lawsuit over that if that water stays in those basem*nts," Clavadetscher said.
"If we do, the ditch company is always hard to find." The city owns a large share of stock in the ditch company and uses water from the Homestead Lateral to water Mountview Cemetery. At present, the city and Sunset Memorial Gardens are constructing water pipe down Central to irrigate two cemeteries. Kautsky told the mayor Friday morning he did not think the new line would be completed until "the end of August." last year the city would be in Clavadetscher said this was the "ditch business." He also ordered Bill Purvis, city engineer, not to rent equipment any work for the ditch company on the waterway.

Y. Your dog is an adventurer at heart. He's just a friendly, sociable guy who simply must be where things are happening. I'm sure he appreciates you, but after all, out in the neighborhood there are smells to sniff, and holes to investigate and a big, still new world to discover and appreciate. If he is well -trained to traffic and there are no leash laws in your neighborhood, why not let him enjoy life? I don't think it's necessary to keep a dog close to home at all times.
Dogs were hunters and roamers before they joined us. Short of tying him up or confining him in a pen there is little you can do about a wanderer, anyway. IT'S TRUE -John J.

STILL CHOPPING Minor Explosions At Budget Hearing City council budget exploded, as usual, in the library portion Friday night, with other fireworks coming in the sanitation or garbage budget.
Councilmen continued to chop here and there in the third of four scheduled hearings. It appeared Monday night's session on water department, city recreation and civil defense won't complete the job, and an afternoon meeting may be set. Library Gets $112,000 The council continued a policy of giving $40 monthly raises to department heads and $15 to most workers, although a few exceptions were made. Librarian Ann Whitmack's $40 raise was $15 more than asked. Rather than go over the libudget line by line the councilmen decided on 10 per cent cut, rounded off to make a budget of $112,000.
This is nearly $10,000 more than the library got last year, when 211 was spent. The same 2.24 mill library levy should give a $14,286 reserve, it was figured. The $124,320.30 budget requested would leave a reserve of only about $1,800. Comptroller Frank Connelly reported a $2,647 June expenditure for books left this account $1,362.12 overdrawn. The council agreed on a future resolution which would give the comptroller power to reject all claims for amounts exceeding budgets.
The library budget included approximately $12,100 for new staff members, plus $4,000 for raises and part-time help. There are 11 full-time employees. $18,500 was budgeted for books. Four Ward Councilmen John Newman and Joe Leone got backing of in demanding bookmobile, service for south Billings. Councilmen agreed bookmobile operation expense is a matter they have no control over.
Animal Shelter Lynn Townsend, asked $50 per month for his duties with the animal shelter. councilmen agreed to relieve him of these duties. Townsend apparently will get only a $15 raise as sanitation manager, and will inherit the job of alley inspector which he recommended as an additional job. Councilmen agreed this was part of the job the manager was hired to do. With the extra man for the job went $2,795 for a pickup with radio and $100 camera for his use.
Street Department Supt. Lyle Olsen will get the maximum raise of $40,, $12,000 street sweeper, two pickups with radios, two dump trucks, tailgate sand spreader and all operating budget except salary asked. Left capital improvements was a $152.000 building planned in 1959. Property owned by the department would offset much of the cost if the building remains through final budget cutting and is built. Bud Edward's traffic department budget remained almost intact.
including $10.400 for traffic signals and $7.400 as first half of a traffic survey cost to the city. Ditches and Sewers City -county ditch, sewer, sprinkling and lighting districts offered no "fat" to cut, it was agreed. A $20,000 sewer repair item was cut in half with agreement payment can't be expected from the county for SID 208.

Les Gerrell's $66,450 meter budget was approved including $8,100 for new meters.
Meter maids will get a standard $25 raise at end of their probation period only this year. A $298,558.64 budget request by Airport Manager Kenneth Rolle was submitted with airport commission approval, and saw And administrators fared little cutting, except in salaries. well. It included $183,744 for runway repairs. Rolle will get a $15 adjustment in addition to his $40 raise to reach $600 monthly.
His assistant manager, Bob Scarborough, will reach $500 by completing probation, an adjustment and $15 raise. Employes not completing probation during the fiscal year ending June 30 won't get the $10 increase given last year, it was determined in sticking to the $15 raise for all but department heads. Police and firemen get $3.50 per month longevity, and some other workers get automatic raises upon reaching each five-year-service milestone. Clerical help increases are still undetermined. except for agreement adjust 27 employes previously working 35 hours at $21.50 per month compensation.
The animal shelter discussion provided the laughs, plus addition of $300 by the council for a cat disposition fund. One unnamed councilman reminded of previous warring by suggesting "Let's remove the ordinance against shooting within city limits." Mayor Carl Clavadetscher was absent, but all councilmen were on hand as some time lost Thursday night was caught up.

HELENA (AP) Three more Montana landmarks have been designated as Registered National Historic Sites by Secretary of Interior Stewart Udall. Bannack, Virginia City and Butte are the latest Montana locations to become eligible for appropriate certificates and bronze markers.
Bannack was the site of the Treasure State's first gold discovery, and also served as the first territorial capital. Most of the old buildings are still standing. The notorious Henry Plummer gang roamed Bannack and Virginia City until Plummer was hanged in 1864. Virginia City was the Territorial capital from 1865-75. On the city's lower Wallace Street the Capitol, Montana Post, Bale of Hay Saloon and other buildings have been reconstructed.
Butte was first mined by men from the Virginia City area in 1864 when miners found placer deposits in Silver Bow Creek. More than $2 billion in mineral wealth has come out of an area in the city less than five miles square allowing Butte to bear the title of the world's largest copper mining region.
