P|entywood School Notes

The members of the high school and
particularly those who are members CT
the various athletic teams, wish to use
this method of thanking the people Of
Plentywood who have so generously sup
ported athletics in school by donating the
use of their cars for the various trips both
at football and basketball They also
wish to thank the people who have made
it possible to support athletics by purchas-
ing season tickets and attending the var
ious games. Without the support of the
people of community athletics could not
be made possible and without good, clean
athletic competition in high schools, a
school cannot bring forth the best efforts
of its pupils.
At the same time we urge the people OF
the community to continue with their sup
port and attend our various contests,
lending support and thus making it posi-
BILE for us to win. Season tickets for
basketball are now for sale and if you
have not secured your ticket, do So al
once as there will be some real games
here during the holidays. Adult tickets
sell at $500, High School students may
purchase tickets at $150 and grade pupils
at S100. We need your support.
The basket ball team plays Scobey at
Scobey Friday, Dec. 16.
Sydney plays one and possibly two
games here December 29th and 30th
Games will also be played at home with
Wolf Point, Scobey. Westby. Froid, Out
look, and others.
School closes for the holidays on Thurs
day December 22nd at noon in order that
teachers and pupils may leave by the
afternoon. train. School commences again
after the holidays at noon on Tnnsday,
January 3rd. The shortness of our Xmas
vacation makes it possible to have few
days for breathing spell at Easter time.

Christmas Seal Sale
Big in piGntyHOOd

1t is fast becoming a reality that the
people of Plentywood are not going TO flli

Christmas seals which mean so much to

enough to assure US of the services Of

Last year the per capita sale of seals in
Sheridan county was one and one-haf
cent and we were next to the lowest ia
the state of Montana. MontanI as
state was also low in per capita sale when
compared with the other states in the
union. Let us do our best to boost both
our county average and our state average.

purchased two dollars or more Of Christ
mas seals.

There is no more appropriate symbol ct
the true Christmas Spirit than the doulle-
barred cross Christmas seals, which for
nineteen years have supported the Ma
tional, state and local campaign to con-
quer tuberculosis. The renny health seal
is a bearer of many gifts which mean
good will to all. To friends it brings our
best Christmas wishes for good health
through the year: to those stricken with
tuberculosis, it carries a message Of hope.
10 frsil chilclen threatened with ne dis
ease, it promises prevention measures. 10
all of us il means the coming Of a day
when tuberculosis will no longer be a
menace. Let every piece Of mail that Is
sent from our local post office during the
present holiday season carry a Christmas
seal, thus showing the nation that cur
community is doing its share in the
fight to wipe out tuberculosis.
