to be the best amateur play ever pre-
sented by local company. The final
presentation of the play was in the
NARROW theater, Helena, on Thursday,
November %. The cast was practical
ly the same that presented 1.-THE Mil
lionaire'' last year, and was composed
of unusually talented actors. The pro-
ceeds then, as in this years produc-
ton, were given to st. Joseph's Or
phan Home, in the valley near Helena,
where $50 children are cared for by
the Sisters. The home, under the able
management of Sister Finbar, will be
practically self supporting in few
years, it is claimed, because of the
splendid farm which adjoins the home.
Much credit for the success of the
play is due to the direction of A. j.
Clemo and Jack Clark and to the
business management of Frank O'Don-
nell.
Helena had the pleasure of welcom-
ing a new community of Sisters to
the state last week, when seven Sis
tiers Of the Order of Immaculate Mary
arrived in Helena. The Sisters were
guests of the Sisters at the House of
the Good Shepherd for several days
after their arrival, and later went to
Mt. st. Charles college, where they
will be in charge of the culinary and
housekeeping departments. Before
coming to Montana, the Sisters were
engaged in hospital work in Rocky
Mountain, North Carolina. Mother
Agnes is the Superior of the order.
The ex-service men at the U. S.
Public Health hospital at Fort Harri-
son were guests at Il special perform
ance of Nothing but the Truth pre-
scented in the X. of c. hut on Wednes-
day evening. At present, there are
about 81 men in the tuberculosis hos
pital and 20 in the general hospital,
Mrs. Sara e. Morse, secretary of
the Montana tuberculosis association.
addressed the joint Parent-Teacher
meeting of st. Helena and st. Mary's
schools on Friday afternoon Mrs.
Morse told of the Child Welfare work
which the association was doing in
the rural and parochial schools of the
county, and explained that the nurse
who directed the work in st. Helena
and st. Mary's schools was paid by
the tuberculosis association through
the proceeds of the Christmas seal
sale last year. st. Helena school
sold SIS worth of Christmas seals last
year, and was given fine set of
weighing and measuring scales in re-.
turn for it's assistance. st. Mary's
school is planning on working for the
scales this year, it is understood. In
both schools the Modern Health Cru
SADIE work is carried on, and nutrition
classes are conducted for the under
weight children. The tuberculosis as
ISOLATION is primarily interested in
building up the health of the chill
dren, according to Mrs Morse because
it believes that prevention is more val
liable than cure, and that the tuber
culosis problem will never be met un-
til the health of the children of the
present generation is brought up to
the highest standards. The public
health nurses, free clinics, nutrition
work and all of the other work of the
tuberculosis association are support
ed entirely through the proceeds of
the Christmas seal sale.
Mrs. r. 0. kaufman, one of the lead
ing members of st. Helena cathedral
parish, has been appointed as chair
man of the Christmas seal sale for
the city OF Helena. Mrs kaufman
was active in the sale last year, when
under the leadership of Mrs. C. B. No
Ian over $500 was raised in the city
for the tuberculosis work, and under
her direction the success of the 1922
sale is practically assured
