Browning chief. [volume] (Browning, Mont.) 1941-1953, 1942-07-17

Aug. 3-8.
The fact that the North Montana
State fair and rodeo has been designed
to show what has already been done
to further the war effort in Montana
and the need for more work along this
line, has already created much en-
thusiasm in Montana people. This is
shown by the advance interest in
grandstand reservations. The fair will
be held in Great Falls, Aug. 3-8.
Strip tickets are on sale this week
at five for sl.10, including tax. They
may be obtained at tables in downtown
Great Falls or by writing request to
the fair office. These tickets are good
for admission into the grounds both
during the day and evenings.
The fair officials, in order to give
their guests this type of wartime pro-
gram have spent much time in select
ing the best they could get in enter
tainment, and in improving their ex-
hibits. The program of entertainment
will run largely to comedy, but there
will be plenty of sound educational
value in many other aspects. The show
ON to Victory" is one of the best
outdoor programs available.
The race program should be much
better than in many previous years
because the closing of the southern
tracks has sent many horse owners in
search of other meets. A large number
of reservations have been made by
such owners indicating their intentions
of running their horses during the
meet. Efforts have also been made to
get a complete military exhibit in or
der to develop personal consciousness
of actual war situations, and to DEM
onstrate what part each individual
should play.
Some of the outstanding features of
this fair will be the northwest's Inter-
national Hereford show, American
Bantam Northwest meet, wildlife ex-
hibit, All and Smith-Hughes demon
STATIONS and the horse show. A special
sheep exhibit will be presented by the
Montana State college showing the re-
suits of experimentation in the cross
breeding of sheep.

One of the foremost dancing groups

They have played in some of the
largest theaters all the way from
Broadway to Hollywood. Their routine
includes several dance novelties and
their last dance is special produc-
ton idea for the final number of the
show.
Other speciality acts of high enter
tanning quality are the Monroe Broth
ers, knockabout comedian act; the
Great Peters and his sensational 30
foot leap with a moose fastened around
his neck, and the Noble Trio, parallel

the most accomplished of all ballet
acrobatic dancers, will be on this sea-

a treat in store for the audience with
