of Controller Rowland was intro duced by John McHugh. A lengthy discussion followed before the vote was taken. The resolution was adopted.
 A Martyr
 Those who spoke against adop- tion of the resolution said their principal reason for opposition to 1t was not because they did not be- lieve in the merits of the resolu- tion but rather that its adoption would make MT. Rowland a martyr"
 Young Republicans declared that Rowland had been highhanded in its attitude toward the Republican party organization in Waterbury since he took office in January. His appointments were criticized as was his failure to consult with Town Chairman Upson.
 In contrast to its condemnation of MT. Rowland. the club gave high praise to Town Chairman Upson the controllers opponent in an in- tra-party factional battle A resolu- tion praising MT. Upson's work as town chairman was adopted.
 The club voted down an attempt by some members to have the or ganization favor the replacing of MT. Upson with John J. Bergin, bus mess associate and campaign man. ager for MT. Rowland.
 GolvuI1N Ch ir7Sauu
 While the resolution was the answer" of the Upson group to reliably reported revolution" de- irving from minority membership defection led by MT. Bergin, the published effect of this revolt is written in the selection of the com- mittee appointed on finance. While, under normal circumstance, the controller as the only Republican Fusion candidate elected last fall would take importance place on such 8 committee, Mir. Rowland appears as the last-named member of this committee, headed by Maj. Michael J. Galullo.
 Praising MT. Upson's activities, the resolution remarks that his serv- ices have been of great value to the club, the party and the city as a whole. It approves selection of the recently-named town committee in the new voting district change.
 List of Committees
 The committee are: Executive, John McHugh, chairman; William Kolbeck, James Morrow, Mortimer J. Calvin, Frank Waranelli, J. Warren Upson, John J.

SNOW PUTS
MARCH OUT
like ALTON

The fellow who invented the
theory of March coming in like a
lamb and going out like a lion was
doubtless filled with pride this
week as the month of March roar
ed out amid a blizzard such as the
north oil fields had not experience
ed before this winter. March came
in with the kind of weather the
Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce
tells about, which is lamb-like.
Traffic on the main highways
out of Great Falls was completely
halted during the storm, for the
first time during the past winter
One of the few who negotiated the
highway between Shelby and Great
Falls during the blizzard was w. M :.
Peden of the U. S. G. S. Traffic
was being turned back by highway
patrolmen but Peden fought his
way through. Unable to see the ra-
diator cap of his car at times, he
had to creep along the highway
in low gear over a sheet of ice,
resulting from sudden cold and
north wind, following a gentle rain
fall.
Many persons were reported lost
during the storm and most of them
were found marooned in farm hous-
es. All drilling and other operations
which involved travel were held up
for a time, while the furious north
wind piled the snowfall in high
drifts in coulees and on cross
roads.
