Consider Chance
To Mountain Time

Changing local clocks from
war time back to mountain
standard time is being consid-
cred by the board of trustees
of district 17-H. the county
commissioners of Big Horn
county, the city council and the
Civilian Defense Council.
Chief reason for the change
is for the benefit of the rural
children riding the school bus
ses. Under the present time
children would have to catch
the school bus in the darkness
Of early morning.
The above groups are DESTROYS
Of an expression from the pub
lie on the question of changing
time, and a poll is being taken
through the schools.
If a change is to be made it
will take place Nov. IS, it was
stated.

RATION BOARD
ISSUES WARNING

Car owners were warned by
local board officials that there
is a really serious shortage of
tires for passenger cars and
trucks.
The government is using most
of the new synthetic tires that
are being made. The local quota
has been severity cut. Car owners
should do no unnecessary driv-
ing, it was pointed out.
Applications for tires should be
filled out at the ration board
office. The board will pass on
all APPLICATIONS for tires and
tubes on Thursday of each
week.
Several other items were also
called to the attention of con-
sumerS. The expiration date for
canning sugar was Oct. 81, and
no more certificates for it are
being issued.
Those who did not register
and receive ration book No. 4
may do so at the local OPA Of

The country's coffee supplies
are increasing. Stocks are now
nearly three times as great as
when coffee rationing was in
stituted. Discovery of coffee
stamps on Book w, printed be-
fore this commodity was re-
moved from rationing, led to
unfounded rumors that coffee
purchases would again be re-
stricted.
Those with business with the
local board office were asked to
use the telephone before 10 a.
m. and after 4 pm. The office
is open only during those hours.

GIVES REPORT
ABOUT MEETING
H. w. Bunston Re-
Gently Returned
From Hearings

H. W. Bunston, chairman of
the Yellowstone Valley Associa-
ton, gave an interesting re-
port on the meetings he attend
ed in st. Louis and Denver con-
corning the waters of the Miss
issippi basin before the Hardin
Kiwanis club at their Wednes-
day luncheon.
Mr.. Bunston stated that at
the st. Louis meeting of the
Mississippi Valley Association he
found delegates to be in a CO.
operative mood, but lacking in
understanding as to why rep
resentatives of this territory
were so insistant upon a defin-
lite understanding of our right
to use all necessary water for
irrigation purposes before re-
leasing waters for navigation.
Despite the fact that this meet
ing was dominantly navigation
minded he said a resolution was
passed guaranteeing first right
of waters of the Missouri water
shed for irrigation purposes.
The Denver meeting, MI. Bun
ston said, was definitely under
the Bureau of Reclamation in
fluence and was therefore more
irrigation minded in contrast to
the army engineers who are
mainly interested in navigation.
He said there was undoubtedly
going to be , large appropria-
tionS made for postwar eXpen-
diture on construction of dams
to control the runoff of the wa
tiers of the Missouri watershed
of which the Big Horn river is
a part, and which has been con-
tributing to the uncomfortable
flood situations in the lower
Missouri and Mississippi basins.
Possible construction projects
include dams at the Boysen and
Kane damSites and possibly an
other below these two sites. OF
these the first to be built would
undoubtedly be the Boysen dam
which would clear the silt from
the Big Horn river as we'll as
control the flow of the stream.
Unless definite action is ia
ken soon by either or both the
army and Bureau of Reclama-
ton the governors and inter-
state parties of the four upper
states on the Missouri water
shed are going to submit a re-
port of their own to congress,
Mr.. Funston stated.

NATIONAL WAR
FUND TAGGING
Big Horn County
Residents Being
Asked to Donate

Willard J. Scott, chairman of
the National War Fund drive in
Big Horn county, stated that
the drive towards the goal of
$4,000 is going slowly, but it is
hoped that the quota will be
reached by the deadline-Ar-
mistice Day.
Mr. Scott stated that due to
a misunderstanding the Boy
Scouts collected some small do
nations from businessmen and
persons in the residential dis
trict, and were not authorized
to do so. Although the Boy
Scouts cooperation was appre-
clated by the committee, larger
donations than we're collected
are needed to meet the quota.
Mr.. Scott urged the residents
of Big Horn county to donate
to this fund, which is a COM
bination of all the relief socie-
ties in America and foreign
lands.

INCREASE 1914
BEET ACREAGE
Montana Quota Next
Yedr Set at
10000 Acres

Marvin Jones, war food ad-
ministrator, last week announ-
ced that Montana will have an
acreage allotment of 10000 ac-
res for the 1914 sugar beet crop.
This is 1870 per cent of 1913
planting.
Mr.. Jones, in a message to
Senator James E. Murray. said
the national sugar beet goal
of 900 1000 acres is under con-
sideration by the various state
war boards. This compares with
the 1874 acreage of 913, 900.
The highest acreage on rec
ord, 1,041, 900 was produced in
1910. In 1913, the total fell to
636, 900 acres. The program an
nounced by the VIA for 1914
is apparently a compromise be-
tween the record produced in
1912 and the four-year average
which preceded it. Montana is
allotted approximately 10000 &C
res more than in 1943.
Senator Murray said he had
been in close touch with the
VIA and the authorities deal
ing with the production of su-
gar beets, and that he had ur-
ged increased sugar beet acre
age because of the Importance
of the crop to the economy of
Montana. He pointed out the
Importance of beet by-products
in the livestock industry.
It. is believed that sufficient
labor will be available for a SUI
gar beet crop of 10000 acres in
1914.

USO Observes 4
Open House

USO Nation wide Open House
Day, March %, 1943, was observed
at the local USO Club, located at
$40 N. Parish Street, by hundreds
of civilians and service men. Many
civilians for the first time were
given an opportunity to see our
local USO Club in operation, and
to observe the beautiful furnishings
that are provided for our men in
service.
Among the many impressive ex-
hibitS were the collection of paint
ings by Sgt. Shurley Harris, and
the hand made rug by Sgt. Albert
Taylor. The exhibit of religious
education materials caused quite
a bit of favorable comment from
the many civilians who witnessed
it.

brief sketch of USO's accomplish

Both in public health and medi-

been carefully selected and trained
