Indians Break Even
Over Last Weekend
By Wayne Duncan

The Browning Indians in their
two game schedule last week
broke even with one win and one
loss. Friday night they W n
from the Sunburst Refiners BY
the score of IS TO ID. Saturday
night they we're beaten by the
OiImont Trojans by the score of
AZ to 20.
In the first half of the Sum
burst game the Indians had diff
Guilty hitting the hoop. But open
ed up in the second half in order
to win by good sized lead.
However, in the OiImont game
the Indians had difficulty all the
time. Keeping up with the Tro-
jams pace until the third quarter,
the Indians found they could not
keep it up and Oilmont ran away
with the game.
Tonight they will have t h e
chance to avenxe their last week
defeat when the Trojans come
here to play. This SATURDAY. night
they will journey to Shelby and
invade the Coyotes den. A game
has been scheduled for next
Tuesday between Browning and
Chester there. Chester will come
here later in the season.
Starting out the season like the
first breath of spring the Indians
trend has been downward lately.
They have lost the meaning of
cooperation and thus fans lack
the enthusiasm shown earlier in
the season. Their failure to COM
ply vi h training rules W 8
shown in their last home game.
Fans. however, hope they will
change in order to be ia their old
form bv tournament time.

Supt. Mcbride In
Quest Of AZ Census
Takers On Reserve

q
Takers On Reserve
An urgent appeal for additional
enumerators to assist in taking
the 1945 Census for Agriculture
on the Blackfeet Reservation is
made by Freal H. Mcbride, su-
pervisor of the project.
A number of vacancies for the
Census field force must be filled
at once in order to assure compile
ton of The field work before the
end of March. he said. This is
the deadline for reporting results
to the Department of Commerce
headquarters at Washington. D.
{.
The Reservation census will be
tabulated at Washington and will
merge with those throughout the
nation to afford an authentic war
time picture of American agricul-
ture.
A statement by the Depart.
ment Of Commerce in expIana-
ton of the statistical quest ap-
pears as follows:
The 1915 farm census is an
important contribution to the war
effort in that the summing up of
the facts collected from farmers
by the Census enumerators will
provide accurate information on
the total about effort of Ameri.
can agriculture toward produc-
ticn for war at its peak.
These statistics are urgently
needed by the War Food Admin
istration. by the Department of
Agriculture and by manufacture
ers and distributors who process
and sell agricultural products.
The information is used in plann-
ing the further prosecution of the
war and In making preparations
for reconversion and the post
war years.
The last national farm cen.
sus was taken in 1910. covering
the crop year 1889. Since that
time. farm statistics urgently
needed by the government and
industry have b n developed
through estimates. tied back to
the actual tabulated totals for
1889. However, much has hap
pened since the last enumeration.
changes in agriculture have been
so great. that a new bench mark
is needed for guidance in future
estimates.
in order that the l945 farm
census may produce statistics of
maximum value the enumeration
of all farms must be accurate and
complete. This can only be &C.
complished by obtaining the SER
vices of capable men and women
in every county throughout the
United States in sufficient num-
bers to get the job done speedily
and efficiently. For this work,
the enunerators will be paid at a
reasonable rate. but such rates
cannot be high enough to COM
pete with war industries. The
Census Bureau does not want to
hire people away from any activ-
ity essential to the prosecution of
the war on the fighting front and
on the home front. But there are
many people in every county in
this country who are not 80 en-
ployed. whose services for a few
weeks enumerators for the
farm census will be a distinct
contribution to the war effort"

State Machine
Wins In
Primary

VIM. M. Tuck, the present 1t.
Governor, of South Boston, was
an easy winner over Moss PUNK
EFT, of Roanoke for nomination
for Governor in the Democratic
primary election Tuesday. With
1909 of the States IT'S precincts
reporting Thursday morning the
the vote stood: Tuck, 94,199;
Plunkett, Al, 494. Tuck, a Demo-
cratic State organization stall
wart, was supported by Senator
Byrd and other leaders of the
organization.
The race for 1t. Governor re-
manned close between Fenwick
and Collins, the same precincts
giving Fenwick 5O,768 Collins,
49,O43, and Muse 1857. 1t is not
expected that the remaining pre-
cincts will change the situation
materially and that Fenwick has
won by a small majority.
FenWick and Collins are both
ex-service men. Collins served in.
the first World War, serving II
months at the front and in some
OF the hardest fighting. FenWick
also served in the first war and
in the present war, being on
leave at this time Both are stall
warts of the Democratic state
organization and organization
leaders evidently took no part in
the primary as between the two.
Both are practicing lawyers and
both are members of the present
House of Delegates. Both were
given overwhelming majorities
in their respective counties. Muse
is a member of the State Senate
and was supposed to be an out
and out anti-machine candidate,
and he hoped to win by reason
of two organization candidates
being in the field, but trailed far
behind either of them. Muse was
expected to receive the nearly
unanimous support of the school
teachers because he had general
ly supported their cause in the
Senate.
The vote in Dickinson county
was extremely light, only lit
tie over 600 votes being cast.
Practically no effort was made
to get out the vote here and little
interest was manifested, even by
party workers. Nearly all SEEM
ed inclined to 'let 'em come out
if the wanted to and vote as they
pleased" The vote in the county
stood as follows: For Governor,
