Mrs. Waicelunas Dies Wednesday After Illness Mrs. George (Mary) Waicelunas, 76, of the Cooney Convalescent Home, formerly of 1023 Logan, died at the home Wednesday after a long illness.

She was born in Romsdalen, Norway, Aug. 15, 1892, and came with her parents, Ole and Mary Wick, to East Helena in 1908. Mrs. Waicelunas was married in 1912 to Albert Nelson from whom she was separated in 1916. She lived here and worked for the YMCA from 1917 to 1934.

Renne, president of Montana State University for 20 years, will receive an honorary doctor's degree from MSU at the school's June 8 Commencement ceremonies.

Renne, slated to receive the Doctor of Humane Letters degree, will be the university's only such honoree this year. MSU's chief executive from 1944 to 1964, when he resigned to run for governor of Montana, Renne is presently Director of the Office of Water Resources Research in the Dept. of Interior, Washington, D.C. He is responsible for coordination and funding of a nationwide program of water resources research in universities in all 50 states and Puerto Rico. Renne's service to Montana State University spanned 34 years.

He first came to the Bozeman school in 1930 as assistant professor of economics. He became acting university president in 1943. While at MSU Renne served on 11 state, regional and national councils, undertook three foreign consulting assignments and wrote a number of books and articles. One of his books was titled, "The Montana Citizen." But, according to a longtime faculty colleague, he may be remembered best "for the dynamic leadership he gave this university." He devised a building program based on bonding credits from student fees that brought $16 million in desperaterly-needed construction to the campus at no cost to the state. Other Renne initiatives: CreaItion of the MSU Citizens Advisory Council, installation of one of the earliest and mostsuccessful Peace Corps training programs in the nation, and acquisition of land for additional Agricultural Experiment Station research and for future campus growth.

Commenting on his selection for the honorary degree (he has two others, from Rutgers, his alma mater, and from the University of the Philippines). Renne said, "After many years of service to Montana State University, I am delighted by the university's continued progress and growing reputation. I am very much honored in being chosen as recipient of the single award this year." Helena Power Goes Back to 1882 A history of the complicated corporate evolution of electric companies, gas distribution firms and street car operators in Helena which preceded the advent of the Montana Power Co. in the Capital City in was given to the Rotary Club Wednesday by Dix Shevalier, the Power Company's Helena manager. Shevalier said that he had done more than a year's research in attempting to trace the history of each company, which started with the Brush Electric Light and Power Co.

in 1882. He examined the records in the courthouse, in the office of the secretary of state, files of various early newspapers, and other sources. The Brush concern was given permission to generate electricity in Helena by the city council in March, 1882, and it was in August of that year that the company's light bulbs illuminated the area from State to Edwards. However, permanent street lighting was not inaugurated until 1884. In 1886 the Helena Steam By Daniel J.

Foley IR State Bureau Montana cities and towns must complete an estimated $15 million in construction to bring their sewage treatment plants up to state standards, including about $500,000 of work in Helena. Those are the estimates made by D. G. Willems, chief of the state's Water Pollution Control Section. About three dozen cities, including most of the larger ones, will need the new facilities to meet the stiffer standards established by the Water Pollution Control Council in 1967.

The council has established a some of larger intimetable requiring, cities and dustries to comply with the tougher standards, in most cases by 1972. The new standards require that sewage and industrial waste be given the equivalent of secondary treatment which removes about 85 per cent of dissolved organic material in the water, said C. W. Brinck, state director of environmental sanitation and secretary of the council. Today In Court JUSTICE OF THE PEACE (A.

Margaret Ziegler brought the civil action against Community Transit co. and taxi driver Joe Conway in September 1968 after a July accident in which she alleged Conway's negligence caused her bodily injury. Mrs.

Ziegler charged that when she and a friend paid their fare after a trip within Helena, the cabbie drove off before she was clear of the vehicle, throwing her to the ground. Original request in the complaint was for general damages of $2,500, special damages of $52.50 and punitive or exemplary damages of $5,000. Jury Foreman R. W. McCullouch returned the verdict.

Racers Make $50 Mistake In 1886 the Helena Steam same process. in 1884. Judge Mues: it was 11:30 p.m. January 1 to date, 30 year normal 3.41 Generating Plant The present Electric Block was started in 1886 as the site for a generating plant, with a tall smokestack on the corner at Sixth and Park where a photographic studio is now located. The plant burned in 1888 and the city was without power for a month.

Coal oil lamps were brought out of storage. Other concerns mentioned by Shevalier were the Helena Gas Light and Coke Helena Street Railway Helena Light and Traction Citizens' Electric Helena Electric Helena Power and Light Helena Rapid Transit and several others. Newer companies purchased predecessors by issuing stock. Many borrowed money from eastern lenders, many were foreclosed and reorganized. Massena Bullard, example, became proprietor of one by foreclosure, and then later lost his interest through the same process.

This compares to about 55 per cent removal for the primary treatment used by most large cities. he said. "Nobody has told us yet they won't do it," Brinck said in reference to the 1972 target date. He said, however, that some cities may feel a pinch when it comes time to fund the projects in the next year or two. Temporary Setback The cities suffered at least a temporary setback when the 1969 legislature killed a bill to provide $2 million in state aid for sewage plant construction.

The cities not only lost the state money, but they can not take advantage of larger federal grants which would have been available. The federal government will now pay 30 per cent of the cost of sewage treatment projects. When the state contributes 25 per cent, however, federal grant is increased to 50 or 55 per cent. This would have left the cities with 20 to 25 per cent to pay themselves, compared to 70 per cent now. The bill failed, Brinck explained, because the funds were Chamber's Tourist School Planned for Next Tuesday Plans have been finalized for the Helena Chamber of Commerce free tourist school scheduled for Tuesday from 2:30 to 4 p.m.

in the Chamber office, Rose McLaughlin, chairman, announced today. "Thousands of tourists will be visiting our historic Capital City and we hope all employers and employes who come in contact with tourists will attend," Mrs. McLaughlin said. Jim Helena has Egan, than co-chairman, 34 said more points Insurance Firm Payment Asked An insurance company has been asked to pay-up for the 1967 death of a policy holder. Edward Barry Reuterdahl, son of the late Edmund Arthur Reuterdahl and executor of the estate, filed a civil action in district court asking payment of a $20,000 life insurance policy alleged held by the father at the time of his death, July 11, 1967, with St.

Paul Fire and Marine Insurance Co. Inc. The policy was payable to plaintiff's mother, Margie Reuterdahl, who died at the same time after the elder Reuterdahl's car ran off the Missoula highway west of MacDonald Pass and came to rest in the Little Blackfoot River near Avon. St. Paul refused to honor the policy at the due date in September 1967, says the complaint.

Policy value, plus $2,000 interest until date of filing the court action, plus six per cent interest after that date until paid, are asked. Fugitive May Be in Montana An interstate fugitive was reported traveling through Montana Wednesday afternoon. Francis Leroy Hohiemer, 40, 5 feet 11, 205 pounds, black hair, brown eyes and ruddy complextion is wanted by the FBI for interstate flight to avoid prosecution for robbery, on a warrant issued from Denver.

The legislature did, however, authorize state grants when the money becomes available. The council will include a request in the budget it submits to the 1971 legislature, he said. Letter of the Law The council intends to "follow the letter of the law" in enforcing the standards according to the established timetable. Brinck said.

If a city fails to comply, the council will ask the Board of Health to refuse to approve sewer extensions by that city, he said. The council also can go to court to enforce compliance, he said. Construction required in major Montana cities includes the following: Billings: $2.8 million with completion required by July of 1972. Great Falls: $3 million with completion required by July of 1972. Missoula: $1 million with completion required by July of 1972.

Power and Lighting Co. ed operations and apparently bought the, assets of the first concern. The Missouri River Power Co.

emerged in 1900. Another concern had started Canyon Ferry Dam in 1896 and this provided Helena with power for most of the time after that. Hauser dam was completed in 1907. The Jackson Street substation, which still stands, was built by one of the companies in 1904. After 1900 the name of T.

A. Marlow emerged as one of the principal officers of a series of companies. Others were H. M. Parchen, T.

H. Kleinschmidt and H. L. Wallace. As the companies became more unified, the Helena Gas and Electric Co.

took over most of the properties, and in 1929 it became a division of the Montana Power which had been chartered in 1912 and which had operated in other communities of the state. Shevalier said that the first house to be served by gas was that of Michael Reinig, on South Rodney, a residence which still stands. It was connected to the main from the Helena Gas Light and Coke Co. in 1884. They did everything right, says the judge, except obtain permission to drag race.
