COMPLETE OPTICAL SERVICE Era Ettnlned BepalrM Mentrum Sullivan OPTOMETRISTS N. tUin rhoai Police and Firemen Warn Against False Fire Calls Firemen and policemen reported last night that the fire department had answered a false alarm sent from an alarm box on South Main street, and warned Helena residents that the penalty for giving false alarm is severe, and would be levied in case of an arrest. The cost to the city of answering any alarm is at least $25, they added, but the money is less important than the danger to lives of firemen, civilians and property during a run.

Also, extreme harm to life or property could result from the delay if the firemen were answering a false alarm when a true call was received. Children playing Halloween pranks are believed responsible for last night's alarm. The officers asked parents to warn their children of the seriousness of such an offensive. Grade SchoolPupils Invited to Physical Director Don Jellison of the Y.M.C.A. said yesterday the will hold" open house for all grade school pupils in the city starting Monday.

The schedule for the visits was announced as follows: First and second grade boys of all schools, Monday afternoon at 4 o'clock. Girls in corresponding grades will have the same time Tuesday. Third and fourth grade boys, Wednesday, girls of the a classes Thursday. Fifth and sixth grade boys, Monday, Nov. 3, girls of the same classes Tuesday.

Seventh and eighth grade boys, Wednesday, Nov. 5, girls, Thursday. The invitational visit, Jellison said, will be from 4 until 5 o'clock each day. The Prospector In Last Chance Gulch By Del Leeson We've just been reading the constitution and by-laws and the minutes which record the somewhat stormy existence of the Helena Debating club which was formed in October of 1871 This voice from another day was sent to the State Historical library recently by a lady from Sims who found it among her possessions and who wanted a copy made for preservation in the library. There were some pretty weighty matters up for discussion in those days, but it's best td tell the story in chronological order.

The club was formed "to be beneficial to our intellectual and social standing and for the cultivation and advancement of our moral, literary and intellectual pursuits." Well, it may have started out that way hut if we can read between those faded lines it turned out differently. The rules said that all members had to be teachers or pupils of school district No. 1 and the first president was J. W. Corum, principal of the Rodney street school.

S. R. Douglas was vice president and George Woods was secretary with W.P. Woods was sergeant at arms. A few of the members were S.

Cornell, A Woods, A. Votaw, James Roberts, R. Barden, C. Hartwell and J. Daly.

The question for the first debate was "Resolved: That Woman Has More Influence Over Man Than Money Has." What the arguments were which were advanced by the affirmative and the negative the minutes do not say, but it would be safe to guess that there were some queer ones. And what do you think the decision was? You guessed It-there wasn't any. Thereafter, for a while, the club stuck to issues which could be more easily settled. They debated on whether the capital of the U. S.

should be moved west of the Mississippi and decided that it should, they argued compulsory education for all Montana residents and the negative won and a week later the affirmative side won a thrilling argument on the question: "Resolved: That There Are More Wonders OH Water than on Land." On Dec. 1, 1871, dissension arose within the ranks and it was decided that all members who owed tines or fees should be promptly expelled. (The club had a rule that anyone who was absent without an excuse had to pay a 25 cent fine.) The minutes of the meeting the following week show that nine embryonic debaters unceremoniously kicked out. The topic for debate the week after that was the philosophical subject, "Resolved: That There Is More Pleasure in Pursuit than in Possession." This topic should have proved one which brought forth much deep, intelligent reasoning but apparently didn't. The minutes say, "Two members were expelled for being disrespectful." In February, 1872 the club really hit on a tough subject.

The faded minutes show the topic for discussion was "Resolved: That Dancing Is Not Contrary to the Laws of God." The negative side won but apparently there was quite a howl because they decided to debate the same topic at the following meeting. There were more pariclpants on each side than ever before but this time the judges played smart and didn't give a decision. Perhaps they'd learned their bitter lesson the first time. And perhaps the members of the Helena Debating club had learned their lesson, too. No longer, thereafter, did they discuss moral or philosophical questions.

No, they got back down to earth and argued something they knew about. The question for consideration at the first meeting in March was: "Resolved: That a Cow Is More Suitable to Ride on Than an Ox." and maybe, for all we know, that one ended in a fight, too. The rest of the pages of the minute book have been ripped out. Somebody had the last word. State Is Requested 7o Provide Shipyards Workers Montana has been asked to supply 370 workers each month for the next six months for Pacific coast shipyards, and training courses will he provided in various parts of the state, the state employment service said yesterday.

Training courses in shipbuilding skills will be added to schools already operating in, Billings, Butte, Helena, Miles City and Great Falls, and training schools devoted to shipbuilding work are planned at Missoula, Kalispell and possibly Poison. The existing schools are devoted largely to training aircraft workers. In the Helena school, a course for electricians helpers for the shipyards has been added, the employment division, reported. Training in the new schools will include courses for boilermaker helpers, machinist helpers, shipwrights and fitters. Instruction will be provided by the state department of vocational education, some of whom will be qualified local teachers and others who have taken training in the coast shipyards.

Trainee's will be placed in, shipyards by the state employment service under the six-month quota of 2,220 workers.

Caverly, coordinator for the Montana pre- )aredness and advisory commis- iion, said yesterday. No priority ratings have been jranted the placer workings so that they can obtain steel, elec- supplies and other needed equipment, Mr.

Caverly explained, while lode operations have been iven priorities for needed materials. "The situation is so serious," he added, that at least two of the state's large placer dredging outfits (near Helena and near Emigrant in Park county) may have to close within two weeks unless federal priorities officials can be persuaded to grant relief." Pleads For Relief Yesterday afternoon Mr. Caverly telegraphed Dr. Willard A. Nelson, priorities director for mines of the office of production management as follows: "Washington i a this morning says you have granted Idaho dredges a way around preference difficulties.

Dredge operation Montana very important and will have to close shortly if not given relief." The Washington dispatch quoted Gov. Chase Clark of Idaho as saying Idaho placer mines would have no further difficulties in obtaining supplies. He issued the statement in the capital after conferring with O.P.M. officials. Gold production'in Montana in 1940 from placer mining- operations, including dredges, totaled 64,147 fine ounces valued at 52,245,145.

The state's total 1940 gold production from both lode and placer mines was 272,602 fine ounces, valued at $9,541,070. No information was available on the number of men employed by placer mining- operations or the 1940 payroll of the mines. Vital Statistics MARRIAGE LICENSE Cecil E.
