Officials Of
County Get
Salary Cuts

Valley county officials can look
forward to a salary increase IN l947
but meanwhile must go back to pre-
war salaries of ten percent less than
they have received the last two
years.
Saturday by Acting County Attorney
Thomas Dignan that, under an
attorney generals ruling. the lower
salary schedule is now in effect.
Two years ago, recognizing IN
creased living costs, the legislature
passed an emergency salary increase
bill providing for a ten percent
raiss in salaries for officials, with
the exception of the sheriff and
assessor. F
AT its recent session the legisla-
ture passed a law providing Tor
permanent salary increases on a
Sliding scale according to each
county,s population and valuation.
However. they do not go into effect
until Jan. |. I947. and the emergency
increase is nullified under the at
tornev generals opinion. The u Is
effective as of March l.
Since deputy county officers,
salaries are fixed at go percent OIL
the officers salaries, all deputies
salaries were also ordered reduced
accordingly.
In the case of Mr.. Dignan and
Mrs. Blanche Grotjan, clerk OF court,
whose new terms began the first OF
this wear. the salary increases were
effective for two months only.

ON SOIL
DISTRICT IS
SET May II
Petitioners Stress Z Points
Favoring Creation
at Hearing
Group Action on Problems of
Irrigation, Weed Control
Are Cited
BY Courier Correspondent


NASHUA-Seyen points for action
and improvement were stressed by
a large number of pe~titioninp farm
erS here Thursday at a hearing on
a proposed soil conservation dis
trict covering the lower Milk river
valley and a portion of the Missouri
in Valley county.
Clyde Mckee of Bozeman, mem
Der of the state soil conservation
copmittee, presided. Later he said
he would recommend the proposed
district f~avorably to the state com
mittee.
Date for an election to vote on
the creation of the district was set
for May II in Nashua. County
Agent James K. McGibney will be
superintendent of the voting, with
j. M. Sholtus, Hubert Brogan and
Francis Rusher appointed Judges.
More than As farmers attended
the meeting and a high percentage
urged creation of the district. Points
stressed in testimony as to advan-
tages of a district were:
Irrigation farmers would have
group access to equipment for land
ieVellng. With a district, expert tech
nical assistance on engineering and
other problems would be available.
Weed control could be worked out.
Soil surveys will be available. Crop
improvement practices would be
easier to follow. Drainage problems
could be met. Erosion control could
be practiced.
H. w. Rick of Malta. district con-
s%ervationist for the federal soil con-
servation service, was an observer at
the meeting.
The district on the west would
begin at a line drawn about north
and south through Whately. extend
ing down the Milk valley to its
meeting with the Missouri, also in
a small area on Porcupine
creek. The Missouri valley section
a short distance below Fort
Peck and joins with the other
arm where the rivers meet.

NORTH AREA
SCHOOLS MAY
Be SOLD SOON
Opheim District to Vote April
7 on Disposal of 8
Old Buildings
Plan Is to Replace Structures
with Mobile TRAILER
Rooms"

Voters in the Opheim school dis
trict April Z, besides electing two
trustees, will decide the question OF
selling nine old and obsolete rural
school buildings as the first step
in a new educational plan for the
district that involves eventual pur-
chase of large trailsrs as mobile
school rooms"
If voters approve sale Of the build
ings, the money will be placed in a
building fund for postwar purchase
of commodious trailers, it was stated
here Saturday by william c. Greer,
superintendent at Opheim, who is
also school board clerk.
Terms of two trustees expire. K. H.
Dixon of Opheim and H. L. Curtis of
Richland. Mr.. Dixon has been re-
nominated, while George Kilenbeck
of Richland has bsen nominated TO
succeed MI. Curtis.
I'VE are now operating eight rural
schools in Opheim district. We have
20 rural school buildings" Mr. Greer
explained. With shifts in population
and changes in the large district,
additional school buildings became
necessary from time to time.
With further shifts, some of the
buildings no longer yer needed.
They make a troublesome and eX-
pensive maintenance problem for the
district
Tentative plans for after the war
are for purchase of large 26-foot
trailers. Windows and school desks
would be placed along one side and
blacl.boards on the other.
Trailer schools would be spotted"
at most convenient locations each
autumn, taken off whsels and
banked up for the winter. In the
spring, they would again be placed
on wheels and hauled to Opheim, to
be kept safely until the next school
year.
Superintendent Greer see present
war industrial centers as probable
locations for future purchase of
trailers.
Il believe the plan will be prac-
teal" he added. "Our average rural
school has six or seven pupils and we
have only two schools with more
than ten, Most of u schools have
five or six attending. The trailer
school should be the answer to the
problem"

Nashua Soldier Is
Serving at BIG
Base in MarianaS

XXI BOMBER COMMAND
HEADQUARTERS. GUAM - de
layed) Pfc. Russell Aldridge of
Nashua, Mont, is among the humid
reds of enlisted men at a huge Sup
erfortress base in the Marianas
whose diligent efforts have made it
possible for the giant B-29 bombers
of Mai. Gen. Curtis E. LeMay'S XXI
bomber command to strike regularly
at the heart of Japan's war industry.
Private Aldridge is a member of a
combat unit commanded by Brig
adler Gen. Emmett O'Donnell, Jr.,
who led the first B-29 striking force
from Saipan to bomb Tokyo's avia-
ton industry on Nov. "a, 1914.
The work of these men and
their fellow soldiers is directly re-
sponsible for the success of the B.
29s in bombing Japan's war indus
tries" General ODonnell said IN
congratulating them. These men
realize their responsibilities in the
pre-mission task of insuring the
maximum chance for safe return OF
the air crews.
An additional tribute has been
paid to members of the unit for
their toll in constructing their Big
bases. They arrived last August and
September and, since aviation en-
gineers were busy with the high
priority task of airstrip building,
they constructed homes for them
selves and for the aerial combat
crews who arrived later.

tered the army in october, l94l. Mrs.
