He declared in an interview
that II states now carry no in
surance of any kind and Is
others class themselves as self
assured" through establishing
of sinking funds to pay possible
fire losses.
In the last IA years, Rice
said, insurance premiums paid
on state buildings totaled $780,
091.17, from which the state
has received in payment for los
ses only $28,915.81.
Rice emphasized that he was
not against the principle of in
surance, stating that if the
state had only six or eight
buildings and the financial
standing of the average individ-
ual, he would favor carrying
sufficient insurance to cover
all contingencies.
According to a preliminary
draft of the bill to be introduced
by Rice, it would also ban car
rying of fire and theft insurance
on state cars.
It would not, however, pro-
hibit carrying public liability of
property damage insurance on
motor vehicles operated by the
state. Premiums on this type
of insurance now cost the state
about $4,000 annually and Rice
said he would favor continuing
this type of insurance.

Mednest Theft Yet
Steals Money From
March Of Dimes

What will probably go
down in local crime ANNALS
as the lowest and meanest
form of thievery took place
in Hardin Saturday night
when someone stole the mo-
ney from the can contain
ing money intended for the
March of Dimes. The thiev-
cry took place at the Becker
hotel.
The culprit did not take
the can but slit open the
bottom and took the money
and replaced the can on the
counter. Buzz Pattison, hotel
clerk, discovered the crime
and reported it.
The money was intended
as part of the funds of a
national drive against in
fantile paralysis that is cur
rently being staged. Cans to
receive money for the fight
against the dreaded disease
are placed on the counters
of various business houses.
No estimate was given as
to the amount stolen from
the can at the Becker hotel.

Bulldogs Win Two Comes
To Make Thirteenth
Victory

Hardin high school chalked
up wins number twelve and
thirteen last weekend when the
Garnermen beat Roundup IS to
Is and Hysham Is to 80 on
Friday and Saturday nights.
The Roundup game was played
here and the Hysham fray was
on the HySham naples.
Roundup threw a slight scare
into the local fans by taking
the tip-off and scoring and then
following up shortly with a gift
shot to lead by three points be-
fore Hardin could get underway.
Hardin came back strong in the
last few minutes of the first
canto to score five goals and
lead 10 to 6. The halftime score
was Hardin II and Roundup 7.
After Hardin took the lead they
were never threatened by the
invaders.
Three Irons was high point
man for Hardin with Is TALES
and Blazina was top scorer for
the Miners with 6.
In the preliminary game the
tricky Cheyennes from Busby
defeated the Hardin b squad
40 to %. This was the second
win for Busby over the team.
Without the services of Three
Irons, who missed the bus, Ker-
rick, who is nursing an injured
knee or Pn11iS who woc shoot
ing prunes at a local grocery
store the Hardin cagers took
the measure of Hysham Satur-
day night. The local lads lead
all the way to win easily. The
starting lineup consisted of Ben
Pease and Real Bird at forward,
Krone at center, and Oliver
Pease and Heckenlively at the
guard posts. Heckenlively turned
in a good performance as did
Ben Pease and Krone. High
scoring honors went to Ben
Pease who made ten points.
Friday night the strong Red
Lodge team comes to Hardin to
play. According to comparative
scores Hardin should win the
game, but the Carbon county
boys are strong aggregation
and all indications point to a
fast game. Red Lodge was win
ner Of the tournament in their
district last year.
A good preliminary game has
been arranged, it was stated.

UNCLE RAYS CORNER

People IN London. England, nave
been talking about a parrot known
by the common parrot name OF
Polly. This bird is IA years old ana
belongs to II. w. Moss, chief officer
of a fire brigade who has the nick
name Of Monty"
When the bell rings to call Mr.
Moss to a fire the parrot shouts.
Phone, Monty! Phone, Monty
Polly also listens for AFRAID ST.
rens and on hearing one shouts,
"Siren, Monty! Siren, Monty
Polly can sing songs, such as "Ra-
mona" and II Want to Go 10 Bed.
She is also able to count as high
as 10 but makes one mistake along
the way saying five. seven, six in
stead of five, six seven
Polly is by no means the first
famous parrot in LondOns history.
From time TO time other parrots
have won special notice there.
Back in 1922 a London newspaper
carried this story:
"A few days ago there died in Pic
cedilly the parrot of Col. O'Kelly.
Evening star., 1941-11-14

This bird sang number of songs
in perfect time and tune She could
express her wants and give orders.
Her age was not known, but Col.
O'Kelly bought her at Bristol more
than 80 years ago for 100 guineas.
The colonel was offered as much
as 500 guineas by persons who want
ed to show her in public, but he
refused because of tenderness for
his favorite. When singing she beat
time. If by chance she mistook a
note she would go back where the
mistake was made and correct her
self, still beating time"
The parrots power of talking has
been known for thousands of years.
A story has come down from the
time of ancient Rome of how one
of the birds helped to bring free
dom for prisoner. Here is the
story:
Bacillus Macedo. Roman En-
peron, was seated at banquet table
when a parrot began to talk. Alas.
alas!' exclaimed the parrot. Poor
Prince Leo!'

London Parrot Coils Air-Roid Warning

Hearing the words. the guests
showed signs OF feeling sad. and
some of them stopped eating. The
Emperor called to them to go on
with the banquet, but one replied,
How can We eat. sire, when this
bird makes us think of the wrong
being suffered by your son the
Prince? All of us know that Prince
Leo was not guilty of the crime for
which he was placed in prison.
Instead of growing angry. the
Emperor bacame thoughtful. Later
he ordered his son to be set free"

little larger, she will buy steaks an
inch and a half thick. SIch steaks
require about 20 to G5 minutes for
broiling.
First of all, she, and perhaps all
of us should review these simple
broiling 'musts":
Use cold broiler and rack. A
heated pan partially cooks the I'M
derside of the meat before it comes
in contact with the intense heat o.
tie glowing Urjt.
Remove meats for broiling from
the refrigerator about 80 minutes
ahead of time so that they will not
be too thoroughly chilled I.hen
placed in the broiler.
Broil with the door ajar and re-
member that the pilot light over the
broiler switch should be lighted
during the entire broiljng period
If the door were shut, the oven tenn
perature would soon reach that at
W. CHI the oven regulator is set and
the unit would click Off
To preheat the broiler set the
oven temperature control at the
highest point, then turn the switch
to "broil and heat until the broiler
becomes a glowing cherry red.
Whether the steak is to be broiled
at high temperature (close to the
glowing unit) or at a more moder-
ate temperature 6 or 4 inches from
the unity is matter of personal
preference. If you decide to use a
moderate temperature, turn the
steak only once, halfway through
the total cooking time, and sprinkle
it with salt and pepper at the start
of broiling and again just after
turning.
But whether we be brides or
homemakers, all of us will enjoy
the many food combinations which
can be prepared in the electric
broiler by combining various vege-
tables and fruits with steaks, chops,
ham, ground meat patties, liver or
