Hudson county, n. j., residents, In the
o~niniou of Dixie Amer, editor of the
Hudson County News, who in last Fri
davis issue of his paper names 10
MOntanans and tells why it would be
a good investment for both Montana
and Hudson county il the swap were
made. The only Great Falls man NEIL
toned on the list is George Stanley.
Mr.. Amer says there are tnousands
of other Montanans who could qualify
Cor his list. but he specifies those he
does because he met them and became
thoroughly acquainted with them while
he was in the state this summer with
tho National Editorial association
party.
It's the Montanan's way of work
ing his enthusiasm. his indomltable
spirit, his way of surrounding OBJ
stacles that appeals to the New Jer-
sey editor.

optimism.
