MONTANA STANDARD, BUTTE, WEDNESDAY MORNING, APRIL 5, 1944 Seven ## Column 1 # Horn Tooters Get Warning ## Many Complaints Filed by Police Police Chief Bart Riley Tuesday appealed to Butte motorists, especially youths of high school age, to refrain from unnecessarily sounding their automobile horns late at night or during the early-morning hours. "We have received," Chief Riley said, "numerous complaints from men employed on the night shifts in the mines and also from men on the day shifts, that youngsters are making a practice of driving along the streets sounding their horns without need. This is especially true in cases where the cars are equipped with what are known as musical horns. "Thoughtless drivers make a habit of answering each other's horn soundings. Men employed in the mines, who are contributing so much t[o?] the war effort, need undisturbed rest and I appeal to all motorists not to sound their horns without reason." The police chief added that if his appeal did not achieve results officers will be instructed to make arrests. # Enlists in Navy Herman Calvin Baltezar, 17, son of Mrs. Mary Baltezar, 1246 Short street, was enlisted in the Navy at the Butte Navy recruiting station Tuesday. He will leave soon for Farragut Naval Training station. *[advertisement, boxed]* # ATTENTION EAGLES ## Butte Aerie No. 11 During Dr. Shanley's absence take all applications for membership to the Eagles secretary office, second floor Miners' Union building.

Yet, these self-reliant pioneers proved their ability to win the finest reward a family can have—security in a land of growing opportunities. Today, solid citizens are staking their claim in America's future by buying and keeping War Bonds. They know Bonds help to win battle after battle. They know, too, that Bonds will provide security and opportunity for personal initiative when war-supported activity ceases. Do you know of anything that offers you as much for your money as a War Bond? *[advertisement; spans columns 1-4]* *A journey's end is the beginning of relaxation.

(International) # Canadian Frigate Sinks Nazi Sub OTTAWA, April 4.—(AP)—A ship which was in a fitting-out berth only 19 days ago, the H. M. C. S. Waskesiu, first Canadian-built frigate, has destroyed a Nazi U-boat and brought back 19 survivors as war prisoners, the Navy announced Tuesday night. A large convoy proceeded on its way undisturbed after the frigate depth-charged the sub and brought it to the surface before the mercy of a gun crew. The gunnery force shot away the conning tower, cutting off the U-boat gunners from their weapon. The submarine was sunk in 15 minutes. ## Column 3 # Hollywood Film Shop *[spans columns 3-4]* **By ERNEST FOSTER** (United Press Staff Correspondent) HOLLYWOOD—(U.P.)—Both have a long background in the show business. Both love cows, both admire each other's work as performers. But it is the fact that they wear identical upper plates of false teeth that has developed a Damon and Pythias friendship between comedians Chic Johnson and Walter Catlett. Between scenes on the shadowy sound stage at Universal studios, where the Olsen and Johnson mystery comedy, "The Ghost Catchers," is being filmed, the two comics love to take out their teeth and compare and admire them. "Wonderful things," Johnson remarks; "look at that workmanship." "Ah, but look at this suspension," says Catlett, opening his mouth and pointing upward. "This is my fifth set," adds Johnson, with a note of pride. "I've had 14." "Used to lose mine at first," comes back Johnson. "Once I put 'em in my pants back pocket, then sent the suit to the cleaners. Ruined 'em. Had to have a new set built. Cost $500." "Could have been worse, you know," Catlett observes. "You might have sat down, bit yourself, got hydrophobia and died. You got off lucky. I lost mine once. Could not find 'em for a week. Finally turned up in the ice box. Never did remember how they got in there." "My teeth fell out on the stage in 'Sons o' Fun'," Chic recalls. ## Column 4 "Right into the footlights. Scared me to death. Thought they'd been broken. I stopped what I was doing, reached down, picked them up and wiped them off. Put them back in. Then went right on with the gag I was doing with Olsen as if nothing had happened. The audience howled." "Mine fell out, too, once," Catlett says, "and I made some money on the deal." "Yeah? How come?" "I was in Caliente playing roulette," Catlett explains. "I was in a lucky streak. Everything I did was right. I just couldn't lose. I hit a number and laughed out loud when I pulled in the chips. My teeth fell out on the table and landed on No. 17. And believe it or not, the wheel stopped on 17." "Did they pay off?" "You're tootin' well right, they paid off. The croupier handed the choppers back to me and said he owed me 36 sets of false teeth. But since he didn't have that many on hand, he'd pay the equivalent in dollars." # Ward Inquest to Be Held Today An inquest into the death of Robert (Bobby) Ward, four-and-one-half-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Neil Ward, Jr., 818 West Quartz, will be conducted at 2 o'clock Wednesday afternoon by Acting Coroner Richard Rogers. The Ward child was killed March 24 in Walkerville in a traffic accident involving a Butte city bus. ## Column 5 # Wilson Funeral to Be Today ## Death of Early-Day Electrician Mourned Funeral services for Lewis Wilson, 75, early-day Montana electrician, who took an active part in independent and other power developments in this section of the state, will be held Wednesday morning at 11 o'clock. The services will be conducted in the White Chapel with the Rev. A. C. Caton officiating. Interment will be in Pony, where the family made their home for many years. Mr. Wilson died early Monday morning at the family home, 822 West Silver. He was the father of Joseph L. Wilson, well-known automobile dealer. Hs [sic] death is deeply mourned by many friends in Butte and in Madison and Jefferson counties. ### Born in St. Paul The old-time Montana resident was born in St. Paul and received his early education in Hastings, Minn. He came west as a young man and settled in Pony. He was married in Bozeman in 1904 to Clara Belle Nelson of Pony, who survives her husband. During his long activity as an electrician he was foreman of the construction of the first power line from Ennis to Bozeman, he installed the power plants at South Boulder and at Mammoth mine, the lighting system in Virginia City and worked on power and lighting systems at Whitehall, Sheridan and Billings, the last for the Montana Power company. In 1933 Mr. Wilson retired and moved to Butte. ### Interested in Sports Throughout his life he was keenly interested in sports, especiall [sic] baseball. As a pitcher he played in Minnesota, at Spokane and along the coast. When he came to Montana he continued active baseball, playing with the Pony and other clubs. He is survived by his wife, Mrs. Clara Wilson; one son and daughter-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph L. Wilson of Butte; one son-in-law and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. Dan Murphy of Butte; a brother, Frank C. DeKay in Los Angeles, and a sister-in-law, Mrs. Mae McLeod in Pony, Mont. *[advertisement, boxed; spans columns 5-6]* JUST TWO MORE DAYS! 5:45 P.

"The sum was divided equally three ways," officials said, "and Amelung and Davidson went to Butte to exchange the certificates for modern bills." While in a Butte tavern one of the men purchased a drink and obtained his change, the sheriff said. Later another bill was presented in payment for a drink and the tavern operator becoming suspicious, notified the Butte police, the sheriff added. Butte officers contacted Sheriff Haynes who in turn made an investigation in Philipsburg. It was not until after Sheriff Hynes talked to Mrs. Amelung, officials said, that the theft of the money was discovered. Mrs. Amelung admitted the theft, officials said, and Butte police were then asked to apprehend the two alleged accessories. The men were arrested and returned to Philipsburg. The trio was originally charged with the theft in justice court Monday and bound over to the district court. They were arraigned Tuesday before Judge R. E. McHugh who heard the pleas and sentenced the Amelungs and set bond for Davidson. ### Reserves Jurisdiction In suspending sentence on Mr. and Mrs. Amelung, the court reserved the jurisdiction of the two with the right to revoke in the event the couple again become involved in trouble with the law. The court took cognizance of the couple's four children in writing its judgment. *[advertisement, boxed]* Stop in for a Swell Lunch *[illustration: a man and a woman seated at a table]* You will be delighted with the choice selection served on our lunch menu. *Green's Cafe* and Cocktail Lounge 43 North Main ## Column 7 Mr. Longhini, a miner in the Philipsburg region for more than 38 years, apparently had a sum of approximately $1,900, all of which was in the old-time bank notes. When he was admitted to the hospital he retained one roll of $700 with which to pay his expenses. Another roll of $1,200 was wrapped in some bed-rolls and placed in the custody of a friend in town. Longhini, who had been ill a long time was fast failing in health and was not aware of his loss, officials said, until after Mrs. Amelung had confessed the theft to the sheriff.
