TRAFFIC Is NOW MOVING
ACROSS SANG RUN BRIDGE
Was Opened Last Week, Replac-
ing First Iron Bridge in The
County, Built In 1880

Traffic is again travelling across
the Youghiogheny river at Sang Run,
following the old Indian Path of many
years ago, with the completion of the
new county bridge there by the Coun-
ty Commissioners. The cost of the
new structure was $4,000.
The bridge was opened to traffic on
Monday, August g. after having been
closed for two-menths and five days.
Travelling westward across the bridge
people may continue on to GAINESVILLE,
or turn right and come out by way of
the Trap Run road, to Blooming Rose,
near Friendsville
The new bridge consists of a span
of 220 feet, with three piers and two
steel I-beams weighing IA pounds per
foot per span, according to Walter L,
Hull, county roads engineer. Piers and
abutments of the old bridge were used
but were repointed and raised APP
proximately two feet.
During the winter of 1928, ac-
cording to Mr. Hull the top chords of
the old bridge gave way due to heavy
loads of present-day traffic, after
having served the needs of that
neighborhood since 1880. The Board
of County Commissioners, consisting
of John w. Herman, president; Jonas
W. Sines and Walter G. Meyers, saw
the need of a new bridge, one that
would meet the needs of the present
time and at the same time keep the
cost Of reconstruction at a minimum.
The result is the present bridge built
on the same location which our fore
fathers had picked for travel many
years ago.
History of Bridge Given
Charles E. Hoye, president of the
Garrett County Historical society, and
former resident of Sang Run, has pre-
pared a brief account of me history
of the bridge which was the first iron
bridge in this county.
He relates:
The Indian Path from Sang Run
appears to have crossed the Youghio-
gheny just above The Falls near the
mouth of Salt Block Run. This trail
was used by the settlers for many
years; at the mouth of Salt Block
later Israel Friend, whose wife, Dor
cas-, ferried travellers across the river
in her canoe.
In 1928 the "Sanging Ground" pco-
pie petitioned the County Commits
sioners to open a public road from
VIM. w. Hoye's (now Joseph Sebold's)
to the Virginia Line at the Pine
Swamp (Cranesvillc) and two years
later Corbin West surveyed the road,
which crossed the Youghiogheny at a
ford some 600 yards below the present
bridge.
In the office of the Commissioners
of Allegany county it is recorded that
on June II. 1854, two petitions were
received by the Board praying that a
levy be made "for completion of the
bridge over the Youghagany river at
the Sang Ground, not to exceed the
sum of $500" SO it appears that the
first bridge there was begun prior to
1854 This was a wooden bridge,
probably on wooden piers.
The wooden bridge was carried
away by flood, and in 1868 David
Kent was appointed to prepare plans
for its repair, but the same year
the Board advertised for bids to

 Meet Present Needs
 The Red Cross Volunteer Nurses Aide Corps, originally started in the last war, adopted new rulings and revisions in october. 194l, to meet the present needs. The Volunteer Nurses Aide Corps is trained and disciplined service of American women between Is and 50, physi- cally fit and with a high school education or its equivalent. They must devote a minimum of l5O hours per year on duty in hospi- tals or health organizations, but in case of an emergency, they must be prepared to give generously of their time.
 Volunteers wanted
 The American Red Cross through its chapters, has undertaken to select, enroll, and place volunteers. Both day and evening classes are held, wherever possible. This en- ables the working woman to give some of her leisure time in service to her country An intensive 80 hour training course has been pre- pared with the approval of the Off, flee of Civilian Defense and the Nursing Council on National De- fense Thirty-five hours of class room work are given by qualified graduate nurse.

 Services Performed
 Services performed by Volunteer Nurses Aides are varied. They feed patients unable to feed themselves, make beds, take pulses and temp eratures. give baths, assist with re- cords, and render innumerable small services, which although not absolutely necessary from medical point of view, greatly add to the patients comfort. The Nurses Aide, in. taking over these routine hospi- tai duties, releases the trained nurse where her technical skill is needed. A Nurses Aide is never allowed to give patients medicines or hypoder- mics, and in all her work, she is under the constant supervision of a graduate nurse.

THE GREAT

This month marks the fftieth anniversary of the Great Nor
them as a transcontinental railway. We are informed of this
event in a brief announcement that adds, but the company will
be too busy passing ammunition to the nations warriors to
celebrate the anniversary"
Synonymous with the Great Northern has been the name OF
James J. Hill, the empire builder" Once his line was called
Jim Hills folly" Now it is among the leading railroads OF the
United States. The Great Northern came to Glasgow earlier, in
July, rs, 1887. President Hill made his first trip over the new
line that day and went on from here by team to Great Falls to
inspect the new grade. The railroad was then the ST. Paul, Min
neapolis & Manitoba. Glasgow was then Siding As, the 45th
siding west of st. Paul. 1t was almost six years later, in January,
1893, that the final rail of this transcontinental line was laid in
the Cascade mountains of Washington.
Almost every Montanan along its line has been affected by the
fortunes of the Great Northern. Neither could have progressed
without the other. 1t was Jim Hills philosophy that a railroad
is just as strong as its territory. Following through, the railroad
has taken an active part in that development, in agriculture and
industry.
We cannot go further without saying something about the
men who made and are making the Great Northern. Our ex-
perience in public contacts with them has shown invariably that
they are men interested in their jobs and in serving the public;
this statement goes all along the line, from train crews to the
executives. Great Northern presidents have established a tradi-
ton of friendly and intimate relationship with people along its
route. We have found this true of other officials in years of
contacts with them.
Now the company is busy passing the ammunition and in
a very efficient manner - hauling record tonnages of war sup
plies, transporting troops, moving unprecedented quantities Of
ore from the iron ranges to make the sinews of battle. Again it
is justifying its existence in the northwest. On its fifieth birth
day we wish it many happy returns.

SEERS TRANGEL SILENT

After a rather rough year for those who dabble in predictions
the columnists and commentators are conservative about wha
1913 may bring.
This time last year, many of them were overly-optimistic
An example was the news analyst who foresaw Japans defeat
within a few months. Others were prone to look on the dark
side of things, among them a former state department official
who forecast ~bombings of Washington and New York City, and
probably Philadelphia" during the year.
War is a mighty difficult time for these professional seers
and we can understand why they have pulled in their horns a
bit Most acknowledge that we are taking the offensive, but
few wish to say how far we will go this year or where we will
strike. About the safest statement we have heard was that of
Lord Halifax, the British ambassador, who remarked last fall,
"We are three years nearer the end of the war. That is about
as much as anyone can say.
H.. l. Phillips, New York Sun columnist, might be called the
most accurate. His prediction: "January-TommyM anville viii.
remarry or get a divorce or something. March-Mlions OF
Americans who always thought the income tax was something
for the rich to worry about will be brought up with a jolt
April-The first robin will be reported in all New England
States. The first baseball holdouts will be reported in all others.
June-ExSenator Prentiss Brown will wonder why he ever
took Hendersons job. November-Hitler will proclaim all the
Russian armies annihiated."
Turning to the serious side, Milo Perkins, executive director
of the board of economic warfare, gives some hints. Germany, he
says, has passed her production peak but is still economically
formidable, with little likelihood of economic collapse in Ger
many in 1943. Japan, however, is much stronger in raw materials
than a year ago, and except for a major weakness in shipping is
now within reach of a powerful and intrenched economic posi-
ton. The ability of the Axis powers to support defensive warfare
is especially marked, he said, but as both economies are strained,
inflicting bombing damage on Germany and attacking japanese
shipping will have immediate effects on these countries war
production.
There they are, from the ridiculous to the sublime. All Of
which makes us conclude that the war is just as hard to predict
as a Montana winter, even if it is longer.

LEGISLATORS NOT PESTERED

The war brings many changes and by some veteran legsa-
tors now in Helena it may be concluded that it's an i'll wind
that blows nobody good. We read where the house and senate
leaders were forced to make several long distance calls over
the state in order to fill some key clerkships in both bodies. A
few years ago, applicants stood in line to get these Jobs and the
first few weeks of a representatives life in Helena were taken
up with constantly receiving jobseekers. This was particularly
true during the depression, when many needed the work. But
even in better times, many were attracted to Helena by the
glamor and tinsel that surround a legislative session. Things
are different now and, in some cases at least, the lawmakers
are not handing out patronage but are themselves soliciting
jobholders. Its just another small example of how the war has
turned conditions topsy-turvy.

sugar ration book and the new
book will be issued to you without
further registration. If you never
have obtained sugar stamps, you
are supposed to apply for a ration
book at your local war price and
rationing board by Jan. IS.
How do books differ from the
old ones?
War Ration Book Two has four
pages of red stamps, four pages OF
blue. Each stamp also has a letter
"A, B, C, etc. The letters will be
used to designate the periods in
which they can be used. Each color
is for one group of commodities. II
more than two groups are placed
under point r%ationing in the future,
still another book probably will be
needed. Book Two is supposed to
last from six to eight months.
What is the purpose of the

Ration officials describe it as a
system to assure a fair share OF
supplies while giving the greatest
possible freedom of choice in a

Has it worked in England?
Officials of the British food min
istry say the point rationing sys-
tenn, which went into effect there IN

that housewives have found it easy
