The Hardin tribune-herald. [volume] (Hardin, Mont.) 1925-1973, 1945-05-17

The differences between old
a n d modern newspapers S
clearly seen in a copy of the Ul-
ster County Gazette, which has
been loaned to the Tribune-Her-
aid by Jim Quest.
The Gazette, published at
Kingston. N. Y, IS dated Jan.
4, 1900, and was owned by Sam
uel Freer and son.
Something of the labor at
tached to newspaper printing in
those days is seen when it is
realized that it was then nee
cessary to set the entire issue
by hand and that printing was
done by the old hand style
press. Compared with the mod
ern typesetting machine and
power driven press, it was a
long and laborious process.
1t is interesting to read the
date lines of the various art
icles. Printed on Jan. 4, 1900,
its articles which come from
Europe and even within the
United States, reported news
from l to 4 months old when
printed. Nowadays news is on
the streets in a matter of mo-
ments or a few hours at the
most, after the event has taken
place.
In 1900 the Napoleonic wars
were convulsing Europe. Sever
al columns in the Gazette are
devoted to news of that war,
which at the moment was most
unfavorable to the allies, Eng
Land, Germany and Russia. One
report dated Sept. 80, 1899 tells
of the Battle of Zurich.
The most. recent news from
outside Kingston was an article
dated Dec. 20, 1899, and the
proceedings of Congress were
dated Dec. 10 of that year.
The two inside pages of the
four page issue bear heavy black

M. Y. A. BILL IS
TURNED DOWN
Ickes Report Lists
Many Projects
For Country

The Commerce committee O:
the u. S. Senate has unani.
mously rejected the Murray M
v. A. bill, providing for a Mis-.
souri, Valley Authority, said H
w. Bunston, president of the
Yellowstone Basin association
and a director of the Montana
Reclamation assoc iation, ir
commenting on the results Of
recent hearings on the matter.
The committee takes the posi-
ton that ample legislation is
already provided for its orderly
development through the auth
GRITTY given the Bureau of Re-
clamation and the Army en-
gineerS, said Bunston.
Herb Buck of Billings, secre-
tary of the Yellowstone Basin
association, testified before the
committee. Hearings will soon
be held by the Irrigation and
Reclamation committee, before
which Earl Bower of Worland,
Wyo., vice president of the
Basin association will testify.
Bunston will testify before the
Agricultural committee about
sixty days later.
Bunston pointed out that the
report of the Bureau of Recla-
nation by Secretary Ickes be-
fore the House Irrigation COM
mittee recently, lists Sc projects
proposed for Montana. These
projects will irrigate 1,127,5 26
acres of new land and furnish
supplemental water for 294, 500
acres. They will develop 1888 900
XIV. of power in addition to
needed flood control and drain
age. The total cost will ap-
proximate $685., 273, 900.
The report lists Big Horn
river in Montana development
cost at $34,014.0O0 which is now
authorized by law. It has ap-
proved, but not authorized, a
Little Big Horn storage for
supplemental water and power
to cost about $1,4O3, 900.
Also approved, but not auth
orized, are irrigation projects on
Custer bench, Benteen flats and
battlefield together with Big
Horn canal diversion works at a
total cost of $1,2O4 900. This
would bring in $4,000 more acres
of irrigated land in those areas,
said Funston.
Included in proposed Montana
development is Tongue river,
part of which is in Big Horn
county. Its cost is estimated at
about 5000, 900.
The benefits to be derived
from these developments must
and will be safeguarded in the
interests of the people as a
whole, said Bunston, but the
extent to which we will benefit
will depend on our cooperative
effort to put them to the
greatest beneficial use.

received by his wife, Naomi Cool
Sweeney, last Friday morning.

which he was held had been lib
Grated, but no word came until

weeks.

the entire crew escaped serious
injury.
He was reported as missing
in action on June %, but on
July 81 word was received that
he was a prisoner of war in
Germany, held at Stalag Luft
3: The camp was moved during
the closing months of the war
and during the last days of the
war was liberated by allied
troops.
1t. Sweeney, the son of Mr..
and Mrs. A. c. Sweeney of Har-
din, Is a graduate of Hardin

HOLLYWOOD,

Olga San Juan, the Puerto Rican
bombshell-from Brooklyn :. she's
18 years old, and refined and quiet
in private life-but you should see
her on the screen. And youll prob
ably see plenty in the very near fu-
ture In her latest picture Blue
Skies" Olga sings song with Bing
Crosby, dances rumba with the
same gentleman. But the big thing
in the picture for her is hot South
American dance with Fred Astaire,
performed to the music of Heat
Wave"
I'd been hearing lot about Olga
these past two years at Paramount,
but it was not until I saw some
rushes on Blue Skies" that I
thought she'd make good story.
So what happens? I'm waiting for
her in the Paramount cafe when
in walks a woman who is dressed
up to look like As, and says, in a
good Brooklyn accent, I'm Olga
San Juan. How do you do?" She
explains that she is dressed up to
look As because that is what she
has grown to in BLUE Skies" Hav-
ing swallowed this, I listen to her
story.
They Preferred Brooklyn.
my parents are Puerto Ricans,
but I was born in Brooklyn" CThe
date is March 16, 1920 When Olga
was she went with her parents to
Puerto Rico, stayed two years, but
they liked Brooklyn better. Il
started to dance when I was years
old, and I've been dancing and
working more or less ever since" At
Is, Olga was leading her own or
chestra at the Astor Hotel in New
York-Sat least they billed it as
"Olga San Juan's Rurnba Band"
Il went from there to the Copa-
cabana," she tells me. At the Astor
the work had been comparatively
easS from pm. to 10 or IL. But
nigiit-club hours prevailed at the
Copacabana.
'I lied about my age," says Olga
with characteristic giggle. 81 said
I was 18. In my last week there,
when had my Paramount contract
all signed and sealed in my pocket,
one of my school l-teachers came to
the Copa and knew I was discoy-
cred for sure, but when she asked
me what I was doing there I told
her I was leaving the next week for
Hollywood and I'd have to go to
school at the studio, SO she didn't
give me away"
It seems that working at the
Copacabana in New York is the first
step on the way to HOLLYWOOD
''I was told I would be in Holly
wood the next year" says Olga. "but

A Man of Charm Is Perry Como
By ROsalind Shafer
Dy N HUSt1SIWN u
unT vyUnNn ia >,

He might have been another Veloz,
If he'd run across the proper Yo-
landa, for he has great natural
grace. He talks well and with all
his good looks and charm, he has a
strong overtone of Cannonsburg,
Pa, common sense.
Wants No Buildup.
Como has been the despair of the
agents who tried to build him up
with bobbysox routines of swooning
and yelling at the radio station and
at personal appearances.
Don't build me up," he tells
them. II want to do 1t myself the
slow way. I just want to sing good
songs as we'll as I can"
Talking about this, he says. "a
singer can get caught in those
buildups just like in a meat grinder"
But Como does appreciate genu-
Inc admiration, and he likes to
tell about the mothers of his kind
fans who make shirts for him, and
the kids themselves who save up
and buy him gifts.
1T makes you feel wonderful" he
says
The home folks of the coal town
where he grew up are still important
to Como. When promoters sug-
gested that he should quit telling
people he used to be barber, he
reminded them that Caruso, who
really could sing" used to be a
barber. His father, he tells, was a
mill hand, and he himself the middle
child in family of 13.
Radio Was the Answer.
Como's singing began in his bar
ber shop; he had no lessons, sang
naturally, and still does, without
tricks or mannerisms. Going with a
small band, he climbed in popularity
until he was getting $3.50 week on
the road with Ted Weems, but gave
it up to 60 back to barbering, if nee
essary, so he could have q normal
home life for his baby son Ronnie
and his wife Roselle Belline, who
had been a childhood sweetheart.
Radio was the logical answer. His
air show caught on, and he was
launched as solo singer at the
Swank Copacabana, the same spot
where Dick Haynes and Sinatra
were started. Record sales zoomed !;
his Temptation" It'll the End of
Time" and "If I Love You" made
Victor recording sales history. In
three trade paper polls, he placed
second to Crosby in one, third to
Crosby and Sinatra in two.
Como now gets four figure
weekly salary, and has completed
his second film, "Dollface";; the first
was Something for the Boys"
It's characteristic of Como's mod
esty that he worried before the re-
lease of his most popular recording
Till the End of Time" because he
feared people might think he had 9
nerve singing words to the music OF
the great Chopin.
TITS all happened in the past year
and a half" he says, looking like q
kid at Christmas.
Take life easy, work hard,s ano
with plenty of luck, you'll get there
is his formula.
