# MANY TAXPAYERS ARE KEEPING COUNTY BUSY
A large number of taxpayers filed into the office of County Treasurer George O'Brien jr. yesterday in making payments on the second installment of 1939 taxes before the deadline Friday evening. After Friday taxes that have not been paid will be marked delinquent and will be subject to penalty and interest.
O'Brien said over $90,000 has been paid thus far this month, an increase of $16,000 over Tuesday's total. The amount is expected to be largely increased by the payments of assessments by companies and businessmen.
About $10,000 was received Tuesday at the office of Bernard E. Holland, city treasurer, in payment of city taxes. The total of city taxes paid for the second installment of 1939 taxes, up last night, is $50,633.93.
Many taxpayers were in the office today but crowds are expected Friday, the last day on which payments may be made to escape delinquent classification.

# Rev. Michael J. Leonard Is Honored by Clergy Associates, School Children and Others on Silver Jubilee Observance
[headline spans columns 2-4]
## Beloved Catholic Priest Ordained in Chicago Back in 1915.
The Rev. Michael J. Leonard, pastor of St. John the Evangelist parish and one of the most widely beloved clergymen ever to grace the pulpit of a Butte church, was honored yesterday by his clergy associates, sisters and school children, on the occasion of his twenty-fifth ordination to the Catholic priesthood.
Refusing, because of his innate modesty and policy of self-effacemen [sic], to permit anything of an elaborate nature, the observance was held to a minimum in deference to his wishes. The pastor refused to allow any advance publicity of the event and discouraged anything tending to ostentation.
In spite of this, his parishioners filled the church to capacity and many stood in the vestibule while the revered clergyman celebrated a solemn high mass commemorating the day, a quarter of a century ago, when he received the sacrament of holy orders in Chicago at the hands of Bishop Paul P. Rhode, then auxiliary bishop of Chicago, by whom he was commissioned to "teach all nations," "forgive sin" and to follow in the footsteps of the Saviour. Bishop Rhode is now in charge of the diocese of Green Bay, Wis.
Other priests assisted on the altar or sat in the sanctuary. Twenty-six altar boys assisted in the service, while the boys' vested choir of 27 voices sang the responses to the mass, directed by William J. Corbitt.
### Many Children Present.
The large attendance of children was the feature of the observance. This was in line with expectations. All his life, since becoming a priest, Father Leonard has made the welfare of children his first consideration. Since taking charge of his present parish 13 years ago, the warm-hearted cleric has enshrined the youngsters in his heart, and, he in turn, has had the full confidence, love and esteem of his youthful proteges.
Father Leonard's career in Butte dates back to the summer of 1915, a few weeks following his ordination. For a time he was stationed at St. Patrick's parish as assistant priest, then was transferred to Immaculate Conception, the new west-side parish which was under the care of the late Rev. Michael O'Dea Barry. There Father Leonard labored for 11 years, after which he spent a year in St. Lawrnce [sic] parish before being assigned to St. John's.
### New School.
The intervening years have been devoted to building up the parish in a material way. Evidence of the priest's labors in this respect are seen in the magnificent school that was completed and dedicated a year ago; extensive remodeling and improvement of the church, and a modest parish residence. The school, in particular, stands as his monument. Through the assistance of loyal parishioners, the grounds around it have been beautified. The school represents an investment of approximately $60,000. An additional $15,000 has been spent in improving the church, including an altar of carrara marble, and of the most exquisite design.
Father Leonard was born in Ireland [column continues; the word is broken Ire- / land across the foot of column 2 and the top of column 3]
# NAVY PICTURES TO BE AVAILABLE FOR SERVICE CLUB USE
A motion picture machine with more than six reels of actual pictures taken of Navy vessels and men will be available in Butte at the end of this week, officers in charge of the Butte Navy recruiting station said yesterday.
The machine carries reels on "With the Asiatic Fleet," "Sky Fleets of the Navy," "On the Far Eastern Station," 'Making Man-O'-Warsmen." "Crossroads of the Pacific," and "Making Craftsmen." The pictures show actual scenes of Navy cruises and operations and show the preliminary training necessary to fit young men for careers in the Navy.
The pictures are available for showing without charge to clubs, lodges and organizations. Groups wishing to see the pictures may apply at the Navy recruiting station on the third floor of the federal building.

He received his college training at Loras college in Dubuque, Iowa, and his final training at St. Paul seminary, St. Paul, Minn. His uncle, the late Father John Kilkenny, was pastor of St. Paul's parish of Chicago at the time of the disastrous Chicago fire of 1871. The fire started in Father Kilkenny's neighborhood and wiped out church, school and parish house, spreading from there in a holocaust that ended only after most of the city was in smoking ruins.
The observance yesterday was followed last night by a reception in the school hall. Hundreds called [continues at the top of column 4]

# FOREIGN COMPANIES MUST HIRE RUMANIANS TO GUARD OIL WELLS
BUCHAREST, May 29.—(AP)—The guarding of Rumania's oil wells was taken out of the hands of foreign-owned companies by a new decree of the minister of national defense tonight.
Under the order, British, French and other foreign companies must discharge their own guards and hire Rumanian citizens.
All automobiles and trains passing through petroleum zones are being searched, and foreigners found in refining, shipping and production centers vital to the oil industry are to be sent to concentration camps.
The French and British, who own 70 per cent of Rumania's production, are reported to have made plans for destruction of their wells and refineries in event of a German invasion.

The new expansion, in line with the President's defense program, is the second such move to be felt in Butte. Recently the U S. Army recruiting station was ordered to operate on a basis of 10 hours a day until further orders as that unit of the country's fighting forces started its expansion program.
The Navy quota for June from the Salt Lake district will be 50 men, and the local officers pointed out that all young men interested in enlisting at the present time may obtain complete information by applying at the Navy recruiting station on the third floor of the Butte federal building.

# Kiwanians With Rotarians as Their Guests Pay Tribute to Soldier Dead of America
[headline spans columns 6-7]
With P. J. Berget as orator of the day the Butte Kiwanis club, at its noon luncheon at the New Finlen, celebrated Memorial day. The Butte Rotary club which will hold no meeting today, sent a delegation, headed by the club president, Ben Hardin, to Kiwanis to participate in today's celebration. The meeting was opened by Alex Blewett, club president, who surrendered the gavel, during the program session, to John Hauck. The club singing was led by Wallace Orton with W. H. Johns at the piano.
Mr. Berget, in his address, paid an eloquent tribute to the soldiers of the various American wars, army and navy. The latter, he said, should share full honors with the other patriot dead. He closed his address with a poem by Stephen P. Hogan.
Memorial day, the speaker said, is merely a holiday to many of the younger generation. But to those who pause to study its significance it is vastly more than that. "It is a day," he said, "to re-dedicate the lives of the living to the high ideals of those who died for the faith they held. It has come to be the most significant and beautiful of almost all our patriotic holidays."
A Civil war holiday, it should also apply, he said, to the heroes of the War of Independence, the war of 1812 and other conflicts down to the present. He reviewed the various conflicts in which the United States has been involved since its birth. The surviving soldiers of the Grand Army of the Republic, he said, "are nearing the frontiers of the Great Beyond." The last man has gone to his grave in Butte. The charter of Lincoln post has been surrendered. Throughout the nation their number grows steadily less.

[continued from column 6] At the new Butte high school today, he said, a monument dedicated to the soldier dead of Silver Bow county will be unveiled by the American Legion. In honoring our dead today, he said, "let us, in the words of the immortal Lincoln: highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain.'"
"In a world seething with hatred, jealousy, political, economic and social unrest," he said, "in a world cursed with a second World war; in a world reeking with the stench of communism, fascism, and, worst of all, Hitlerism, let us, as true Americans and Kiwanians, honor our dead by resolving to strive for a greater and stronger Americanism. Whether they lie in the green depths of the ocean, in Flanders field, in national or local cemeteries, beneath the flag for which they died, they shall not be forgotten by the country that they loved so well."
The poetic tribute to the G. A. R. by Mr. Hogan read:
"Down through the years; in faded blue, they pass us bravely two by two.
Old heads erect and eyes that shine, through martial air, like rare old wine,
Their dreams of glory born anew.
Each time-kissed face aglowing through, conceals the hell that each one knew.
And so they march, a strudy [sic] line, down through the years.
"And as they watch the fading few and vision dreams they made come true,
I know that God must count them fine and keep his angel hosts Divine
To guard the lads in faded blue, down through the years."

# FOREST SERVICE CHANGE IS MADE
## Alfred A. Flint Takes Over District Ranger Post in Butte Area.
Alfred A. Flint, a former resident of Philipsburg and an employe of the U. S. Forest Service for several years, has arrived in Butte to take over duties as ranger in charge of the Butte district of the Deer Lodge national forest, Supervisor Charles A. Joy announced yesterday.
Flint will succeed D. C. Morrison, district ranger here for the past two and a half years, who has been transferred to the Beaverhead national forest as district ranger at Wisdom. Flint will take office officially on June 1.
Morrison, who will go to Wisdom to replace District Ranger Marshall Ramsay, who is retiring, entered the Forest Service in February, 1936, as district ranger on what then was the Jefferson national forest. That forest now has been added to the Lewis and Clark forest. In 1934 he was transferred to the Custer national forest in eastern Montana, serving as ranger on the Stillwater and Whitehall districts. He came to Butte in November, 1937.
"Morrison is experienced in range management, having had valuable experience in the eastern part of the state," Mr. Joy said. "He has done extremely good work in range management here and is well fitted to administer the range lands of the Big Hole territory."
Flint came here May 16 from the Coeur d'Alene national forest in Idaho, where he served as district ranger. A graduate of the Montana State University forestry school, he served with the Forest Service in 1929 as mapper on fire surveys and chief of party on trail traverses. In 1932 and 1933, he was on the fire protection organization in the Deer Lodge national forest, and from 1934 to 1936 he was assistant to the technician for the Northern Rocky Mountain Range and Experiment station. He became a district ranger on the Coeur d'Alene in 1937, serving there until his transfer to Butte.
