The Wolf Point herald. (Wolf Point, Mont.) 1913-1940, 1931-01-23


this visiting Lion called at the
club office and gave many new
ideas.
One gratifying condition in this
city is that We are going ahead
making some provision for the
leisure hours of our residents. Not
many years ago, the "a hours were
divided nearly equally between
sleeping and working. Today the
same "a hours are divided into
three periods-sleeping, working
and leisure, with the leisure hours
increasing in number and the
hours of sleeping and particularly
working decreasing in number.
Well directed play develops lead
ership and fair play. The success
full city in the future and the one
which will grow at the expense of
others will in great measure be
the one which provides the proper
stimulus during hours of leisure
so that a mere existence is trans
formed into a life of health, hap
piness and wellbeing.
Our 1930-1931 real ice skating
| rink, golf and tennis grounds,
National Guard and the various
forms of recreation in our schools
r all steps in the right direc-
ton, due to fine cooperation.
The good work done last year
by Drs. Vidal and Crouch of the
State Board of Health. struck a
responsive chord, l am sure, in
the heart of every parent. When
we have done something to i'm
prove the status of child life we
have made a permanent contribh-
ton to civilization. 1t is the SUI
est way to invest in the future. AS
President Herbert Hoover said,
'|The race moves on the feet of
the children. 1t is a great state
ment from a great man and we
believe that in great measure if

through the constructive work
which is done for childhood in
every generation.
While the legislature is in SEES
sion it might be well to communi-
cate with our representatives
there on any matter in their juris-
diction which interests you. We
have had letters from them this
year asking that you do this.
The annual grist of letters ask
ing whether Wolf Point is a good
location for various businesses
has been received and answered.
The support given to the vari-
GUS projects of the club in 1880
was wonderful. Without this
splendid aid the successful termi-
nation of our campaigns would
have been impossible. A record
has been established both for FL
nancial and general activities. All
honor to the people who gave so
freely of their substance and time
in making these projects reali-
ties.
Our connection with the AAA
has been kept up and the club has
received the thanks of this organi-
The club also sends week
Iy reports on road conditions TO
other associations.
1t might be well TO appoint a
committee looking to the estab-
Iishment of a Federal building
here.
1t might also be we'll to consider
he important matter of the cree
ion of a Farmers Union storage
elevator here.
The 1880 Stampede was a COM
)lete success. Trying to have a
better one in 1881 may be a case
If trying to paint the lily and
ldorn the rose.

The outstanding accomplishment |
If 1880 was the completion of |
he federal bridge across the Mis-
souri, river near this city. On
July 9 the formal dedication Of !
his bridge was celebrated with
lifting ceremonies. AS time goes |
IN, the value of this bridge will
)e so evident, its convenience so
convincing that this bridge, real !
zed through leadership, untiring
'ffort and sacrifice of William l.. !
(oung and all those who worked
With him will make far easier the |
way to success for other bridges
.cross the Missouri.
Life Is so crowded and necessary J

,oing to forget Mr.. Young's work !
Tor the good work done by F. z. /

themselves proud on that ocas- H
