OPENING GUNS OF
CAMPAIGN BATTLE
SOUND IN COUNTY
Two Rallys Will Touch Off
General Election
Campaign

With the first big political rally il.
the county scheduled for tonight with
the Republicans bringing to Plenty
wood a national authority on agri-
culture" Kurt Grunwald; a candidate
for Congress, t. S. Stockdal; a state
officer and candidate for reelection,
Elizabeth Ireland; and S. R. Foot, can
didate for attorney general, the fall
campaign really gets under way.
The Republican rally is to be he'd
in the Legion hall and will be under
the direction of the county committee
headed by Frank French of Medicine
Lake, the party's chairman and Carl
Hole of Reserve, candidate for state
representative, and John Debing,
Plentywood, secretary of the county
organization.
According to E. K. Cheadle, state
chairman OF the Republican organiza-
ion, Grunewald was for several years
connected with various agricultural
agencies, including a position as con-
5truction superintendent and expert
advisor Of the American Beet Sugar
company of Colorado" He will prob
ably talk of Communism" as he did
in Glasgow Tuesday night. He was
born in Russian Poland, is a natural
lied American citizen, and his talks
deal with Communist activities in
Russia.
Mr.. Stockdal, who is known by
some local people, was formerly a Lu-
theran minister. When giving up his
c~lergical work in Billings in 1928, he
directed his efforts towards founding
the Montana Home TO- the Aged
which he states is "interdanomr9-
tional and charitable"
Closely following the Republican
rally will come the opening gun Of the
Democrats, n week from tonight,
October /, when Roy Ayers, candid
ate for governor and James OConnor,
Democratic candidate for Ayers seat
in Congress, will address d Sheridan
county audience in Plentywood.
j. W. Mckee, Democratic chairman,
told the Herald toby the meeting
would probably be held iii the high
school auditorium in order to occorn-
modate a larger crowd than would be
possible in the Legion hall. With Mr..
O'Connor recognized as the most ac-
complished platform orator on the en-
tire list of Democratic candidates in
the state, the speakers will undoubt-
edly be greeted by an enthusiastic
representation from all parts of the
county.
County candidates are beginning to
be active in the interests of their cam
paign, and another week will probab-
w see all of them travelling the county
shaking hands with voters and getting
their advertising matter posted and
distributed. With interest centering in
he presidential contest, a large vote
is assured. which is certain to bring
out one of the largest votes in recent
wears.

tons as to changes or additions to the
1897 Agricultural Conservation pro-

who did meet requirements.

COUNTY RECEIVES
$4,000 FOR AID
FROM STATE FUND
Students to Get Transporta-
ton Money, 1t Is
Learned

Sheridan county will receive nearly
$4,000 benefit from the Equalization
Fund for the transportation of elem
entary children living three or more
miles from school, it was announced
this week. The funds were received
through the determined efforts of
County Superintendent Olaf Aasheim.
According to the regulations of the
State Department of Public Instruction
the school districts of this county were
ruled cut as ineligible to benefit from
this fund because Of the large cash
balances due to the payment of de-
linquent taxes last year. However, i'll
view Of the prevailing conditions
crop failure, hard times-this money
was needed to enable parents to senG
their children to school.
Presenting the case to the state SUI
perintendent in a special trip to Hell
ena Mr.. Aasheim was able to secure
SS,774 for Sheridan county. which is
to be distributed to the credit of each.
school district On the basis given in
the following paragraphs.
For families where there are more
than one child, the benefits to be re-
ceived by the districts are figured this
way: For the first additional child 10
cents, and for each additional child
over two children, 5 cent- for each
one.
AS the following schedule shows, a
family Of five children to De trans
ported between 3 and a miles would
entitle the district in which they re-
side to an allotment of 40 cents per
day. This means So per month and S72
for the school year of nine months.

The equalization money for the
transportation Of elementary children
is in addition to the state transporta-
ton money distributed from the Pub
lie School General Fund and must not
be confused with that. The money from
the Public School General Fund will
amount to about S11 this year for each
elementary child regardless of the
number in each family or the distance
over three miles.
These allowances should enable
each school district to pay the full
transportation schedule as outlined by
the Montana school law.
This money can be apportioned to
the various districts as soon as al.
clerks have reported eligible pupils.

Henderson daily dispatch. (Henderson, N.C.) 1914-1995, 1936-09-24

Is not only reading, fine instru-
ments and close work, but the
necessity for sighting big guns
with accuracy. The greatest chal-
lenge to Japan's naval supremacy
Is not from outside, but from the
fact that Japs are naturally hyper
opic: from the Emperor down their
officers wear glasses. But at any
rate, the Annapolis experience
Shows up plainly the strain which
modern life puts on the eyes.
Failure to meet the adjustment
OF these requirements Is not due to
disease of the eye to anything
leading to blindness, but simply to
defects of the eye as an optical
Instrument.
The most frequent eye troubles
are these optical difficulties in ac-
eommodation, and for all ordinary
purposes can be corrected by spec
lacles-near-sightedness, far-sight-
eaneSs, astigmatism, double vision
ana presbyopia (the hardening of
'ne lens due to old age).
FOR these conditions we have
u'e method of control in the use Of
Eyeglasses. The technical skill in
t .ne manufacture and application of
.i'7se has gone far since the early
lays When spectacles were made of
"e"Vy leather frames. and glasses
Henderson daily dispatch. (Henderson, N.C.) 1914-1995, 1936-09-24
Spectacle Making Takes
High Degree of knowledge

ground on entirely unscientific
principles.
Indeed modern optical practice
requires a far higher degree of
mathematical and scientific knowl-
edge than even such apparently
intricate thing as watch making.
Materials From Far Away
The materials used for making
good eyeglass lenses come from
all parts Of the world. The main
ingredient is silica-sand, and there
are very few places where there is
sand OF proper consistency for this
purpose. In the United States
there is a small region in Penn
sylvania and West Virginia which
furnishes the best sand. Potash
from Germany, soda from South
America or New York state, lime
from Ohio and Kentucky, lead
from Missouri, barium from West
Virginia, zinc from New Jersey,
antimony from China.
After these ingredients are as
sembled and have been inspected
they must be melted and fused to-
gether. This is done in specially
prepared melting pot, the inside Of
which is glazed with previously
made optical glass, so that no inn
purities can be picked up from the
pot. Glass for spectacles must be
even in texture and CONSISTENCY.
The melting pot in which a batch
Of glass is to be made is con-
structed a year before the time
needed, because it takes that long
for it to age. The glass is heated
to 1900 degrees Fahrenheit, slow
ly cooled, rolled and annealed,
finally cut into squares a little
larger than the size of an eyeglass.
These are inspected and selected,
one out of four usually is rejected
before selecting one from which the
grinding of lens is begun.
Before they are ground, how
ever, they are annealed, which is a
slow, definitely controlled cooling
process which tempers, or, rather,
draws the temper from the glass.
It removes brittleness and tension
and strain.
Before good eyeglasses are ap-
proved they are subjected to 45 in
spectiOns.

CONTRACT BRIDGE

The best way to play the hand
was no better than a guess. De-
clarer intended to try to pick up
the adverse trumps in two leads,
then to utilize dummys third
trump to ruff third round of dia-
monds. If the club finesse went
right 5-odd might be made. His
reasons were sound. West led the
Ace of hearts, only to find that
North was void of trumps.
Declarer's lowest diamond was
led. North's ] won the trick. The
10 of spades was led. Declarer
was in with his Ace. He led a
second round of diamonds. South's
Q won. The 9 Of hearts was led.
Declarer's 10 won. Dummys last
trump ruffed lead Of declarer's
last diamond. A club was led back.
The finessed @ won. The K of
hearts took the next trick, then the
Ace Of clubs won. All declarer
lost were 2 diamond tricks and a
trump trick, fulfilling his contract.
AFTER Qeclarer had taken q round
of trumps South could readily have
defeated the contract a trick. To
do this he should have won both
leads of diamonds and each time
led back a higher trump than
dummy held. South would not
have won a trump trick, but he
would have won 3 diamond tricks
and a club trick.
Had not declarer led trump he
could have made 4-odd against any
defense. All defenders could have
taken were two diamond tricks and
a trump trick. Dummy would
have ruffed the third lead of dia-
monds. then led club.
Henderson daily dispatch. (Henderson, N.C.) 1914-1995, 1936-09-24
WHO LOST GAMEy

THE DEAL caused three futile
arguments. Declarer's partner stat
ed that the hand was played in
the only way permitting defend
eis to defeat the contract. South
accused his partner Of winning the
third trick when he should have
played low, to allow South to lead
a trump. North stated that when
South did Moc overtake the ] of
diamonds, he plainly stated that he
could ruff a second lead of spades.
As South could not ruff spade he
should have won the diamond trick
and defeated the contract by lead
ing a trump. Let the reader judge
VINO was wrong.
Henderson daily dispatch. (Henderson, N.C.) 1914-1995, 1936-09-24

Bidding went: West, 2-Hearts,
second hand; East, 2-No Trumps,
to show lack of a quick trick;
West, 4-Hearts.
The opening lead was the @ of
spades. Declarer won with his K,
to show the Ace, hoping that North
would shift to q club lead, in case
be won the first diamond trick.
