Highway Engineers
Pick Rogers Pass

Members of the Montana Highway
Commission announced at their
meeting last Thursday that the Cen
trail Montana highway link connect
ing Great Falls and Missoula.
through the South Fork of the Flat,
head country, will be routed over
Rogers Pass. Decision was made
after the commissions engineers
had made careful study of the two
available routes-Rogers Pass and
Stempie Pass and found the form
er more suitable and desirable
and IL miles shorter. Funds for
the highway were allocated by the
former highway commission, such
funds still being held for that sole
purpose.
Estimates place the expenditure
at S3,566, 428, for the Rogers Pass
route, which is about 100000 above
the Semple Pass route. Grades,
curves and other factors, however,
reveal Rogers pass to be the most
feasible, the commission announced.

First Sunday After 'Paschar Moon
Is Astronomical Date for Easter

Automatically speaking, Easter
falls on the Sunday following the
first Paschal full moon after March
I'll. But the date was originally set
to help pilgrims who needed moon
light during their annual journey to
Resurrection festivities.
Travelling day and night to reach
the sacred shrines in time for this
observance, the pilgrims decided to
make the Easter date flexible for
the sake of convenience. Therefore
it may vary over period of 50
days-from March ~ to April rs.
A coincidence accounts for the
