Headed by Dick Granere, thrill
flyer who shot down 33 German planes
during the World war and who is
now rated as the worlds outstanding
acrobat, the North Montana State fair
entertainment program this year, Aug.
TIP, will have greater variety and
more universal appeal than in any
past season, according to Harold F.
DePue, secretary manager.
Most notable deviation from past
years will be the addition of a full Of
fetal rOdeO program, with all other
entertainment features retained.
In picking Granere as the thrill
headliner, the fair management took
into account his history since he en-
listed in the Canadian air force in
May, 1916, and served with the 64th
pursuit group of the royal air force.
During 3 years and II days of war
service he fought over France and
Belgium on the western front and
over Egypt and MesOpotamia on the
eastern front, flying every type of war
craft. While he is officially credited
with having shot down 10 planes which

records also include an additional II,

announced in the name Of Joan

This, however, was caused by an

Watch Tower win Be Built As
Protection For Game

Added security for the wild life
ON the 13.000-acre Bombay Hook
migratory wildfowl refuge east OF
Leipsic is planned in a general works
program that calls for the construc-
ton of 99-foot watch tower.
The tower, which will be made of
creosoted timber. will be started
soon under the direction of John
Herholdt. refuge manager, U. S.
Biological Survey Bureau.
Erected near the refuge head
quarters, the tower will be used for
surveying the marshy terrain, fire
prevention and curbing illegal hunt
ing.
Also in the building program are
projects for dikes, dams, mosquito
control, and a roadway across the
swamps.
The first dixie of series, to pro-
vide five fresh water lakes and
waterfowl feeding and resting areas,
has been completed.
Edwin NJ. Barry, educational di-
rector of the State Board of Game
and Fish Commissioners, recently
made a survey of the area in COM
pany with Mr.. Herholdt.
Much of the improvements over
the refuge is being done by the negro
CCC camp at Leipsic. 1t will take
nearly four years to complete the
dams for the ponds on the area.
