renee tina presume l shall have some
dlihcuity in getting people to talk about
racing schemes for a few days. How
ever, | am encouraged with the au-
diences have had thus far with people
IN Butte who are interested in racing. I
want to get the right kind of people in
terested. I don't think there will be
much trouble about raising the money to
back the association if we can obtain the
general support of the right kind Of peo-
pie. My idea is to have an association
which will be supported by and made up
of Montana people, We don't want to go
into the track building business. There
are plenty of tracks here and for this
western country they are good ones. Butte
