MISSOURI YAWNS FOR
ADDITIONAL VICTIMS

The old Missouri perhaps feels
disappointment at adding no vic.
tins to it's long list this winter.
Friday it almost realized its am
bition, but luck was against it.
l.. l.. Durfey, who carries the
mail to Vida, was making a
crossing on foot over the honey
combed ice with the mail stacked
on a hand sled. He and a com
panion, j.. D. Scott, pulled the
sled by a long rope. A third man,
whose name was not learned,
walked behind or near the sled.
Without warning the ice gave
way under Durfey and Scott and
they were plunged into deep wat
er. So deep they Gid not touch
bottom. Instinctively they chung
to the rope. The man at the sled
grabbed it and braced himself
thus furnishing an anchor for the
rope which enabled the men in
the water to pull themselves to
the top of the ice. A fairly close
call.
The river is now reported in
the last stages before the break
up. A few venture across partly
by boat and partly on foot. Never
again-the bridge is almost ready.

III EDUCATORS
in CONVENTION
BOARD MEMBERS AND SCHOOL
HEADS, ANNUAL MEET
AT BILLINGS

F. H. Livingston and George H.
Flint, superintendent and trustee
of district No. As, attended what
is described as the largest and
best convention yet held by the
Montana school boards association.
The meeting was held at Billings
last Friday and Saturday. Super
intendent Livingston had been in
vited to address the convention
on penalty and interest on delin-
quent school tax, an important
item in school revenues of which
he has made an exhaustive study.
He also represented the state
teachers association at the con-
vention.
The following concerning the
work of the convention, and re-
lated affairs, was clipped from
the Billings and other daily news

Let's An Olds Motor
Paint Garage Walls

Tom Sawyer, one of Mark
Twain's boy characters, used to
work his boy friends to do his
fence whitewashing. But boys are
smarter than they used to be. So
the best Ed Camrud, proprietor
of Camrud Motors, could do, when
he wanted the interior of his big
storage and sales rooms painted
was to shunt the job onto an
Oldsmobile motor. He purchased
the latest type of paint spraying
outfit, with long rubber tubes, a
pressure tank, a gun and other es-
sential parts. Two tube ends were
connected into two cylinders OF
the motor and in to the tank. All
that remains to be done Is to
point the gun at the ceiling or
wall and pull the trigger. 1t is
claimed the outfit paints ore
surface in a given time than sew
eral painters could do in the u.s.
ual manner.
Additional space is being refin-
ished and fitted for use as stor-
age and show room for a big
stock of Odds and Vikings.

CONCERT
PLEASES MANY FANS

There has been much enthusi-
astic comment heard concerning
the Poplar concert broadcast
Wednesday night over KICK.
There were several instrumental
and vocal numbers and a talk by
Herb Ziege. Inasmuch as we do
not have the entire list of per-
formers, we will not attempt to
mention them individually, but a
great deal of praise has been
heard Of the high class of selec-
tions rendered and the finished
performance given. Some who are
regular radio fans say that it was
one of the finest programs ever
broadcast from the local station.
The Herald was requested to ex-
press the appreciation of the com
munity for the program.

BOOST AIRPORT AT
THE CITY ELECTION
QUESTION OF 5-MILL LEVY
ON THE BALLOT APRIL
SEVENTH

At the city election, Monday
April 7th, the voters will have
an opportunity to again give
proof of the progressiveness of
Wolf Point by voting a 5-mill
levy to purchase ground for a mu-
nicipal airport. This will not
necessarily mean an increase in
taxes. Mayor Stennes says it will
be possible to include the airport
levy and still hold the total levy
at the former figures.
Any town the size of Wolf
Point, and on a transcontinental
route, simply cannot afford to
handicap itself by not preparing
for air transportation. Air mail
and passenger service is no long
er an experiment but is now we'll
established. Five, or at most ten,
years hence a town in the posi-
ton Of Wolf Point without a safe
and convenient landing field for
air craft will be almost as far
behind times as if it had no grad
ed roads leading to it.
Air travel will become safer
and cheaper and many of us will
that way when time is an
element in our business. We will
get most of our first class mail
by air. Giving u town air ad-
7antages is a matter of good bust
less and foresight.
Establishing a municipal airport
be looked upon as an ex-
)ense but as an investment that
will soon return a profit to the
.ity and its property owners.
