U. S. PRESTIGE ABROAD

Hardboiled Republican Congress man Everett Dirksen of Illinois had a secret meeting with his G. O. P colleagues in a House lobby the other day following his 30000-mile trip around the world. He gave them plenty of food for thought. Among other things, Dirksen said ::
 Heres something you fellows may not agree with, but I want to tell you the OWI (Office of War Information is doing a great job for US abroad.
 T went into Turkey where 83 percent of the pictures ill the Turk ish newspapers and 40 percent of the lineage is supplied them by the OWI. In other words, they are telling the Turks what this coun- try is like-selling the United States to Turkey
 They're doing a great job and if it wasn't for OWI, American prestige wouldn't be half as high as it is today.

FRIDAY, JUNE 13

Although this is.not an important day in planetary direction, it's events will be historic.
 HEART AND HOME
 This should be a favorable date for constructive work of many sorts. Women have reason to ac- cept with seriousness the portents of this month of added tests and re- responsibilities. The study of finan- cial budgets should be a midsummer recreation.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS
 After the orgy of spending made necessary by the World War, the na- tion now should retrench wherever possible, astrologers declare. The cost of rebuilding Europe will be felt by this nation which must bear heavy burdens that cannot be shift ed
 NATIONAL ISSUES
 Again the seers warn towns and cities to sweep their own doorsteps clean. The need of civic reforms will be widespread in postwar read justments. Defeat of the under world will be imperative.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS
 Italy comes under promising as- poets that presage better living con- ditions and rapid recovery from war ravages.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of change and travel that should be fortunate. Careful decisions are supremely important

Tourney Plans
Are Complete
Billings. Sheridan.
Laurel All Boast
Strong Quintets

Local fans should have an op-
portunity to see some good bas-
ketball this weekend, when Har-
din and three guest teams COM
pete in an invitational tournament
on the local floor.
Billings will arrive with a team
built around five members of last
years squad. Ted Lacklen, cap
tain and toward, is five feet IL
inches tall and a good scorer.
Nick Ries, guard, stands two
inches above six feet and is a
tower of strength on defense.
Hutchinson, center, saw much
service last year and is especially
effective at sharing rebounds. He
also has a good basket eye and is
six three. John Hiene, who held
down a halfback berth on the
football squad is another big lad,
six feet two inches in height.
Ramold, a real floor man, also
saw a great deal of action last
season. The other members of the
squad are also capable, and Bill
ings rates the favorite spot be-
cause of size and experience.
Sheridan, Wyo., high school ex-
poets to have a better-than-aver-
age team this year. Coached by
Ralph Keene, who is spending his
first year at Sheridan, the line
up boasts five lettermen. Few
details are available regarding
this out-of-state-club. Reports in
dictate that the team is on the
tall side, with several boys who
stand more than six feet. A school
the size of Sheridan is sure to
have a hard team to beat, it was
pointed out.
Laurel high school has the best
prospects in years, with six re-
turning lettermen, and a six foot,
three and q half inch center, who
is playing his. second year. An
outfit to be reckoned with in their
district and possibly in state COM
petition, Laurel has entered IT
players in the meet here. Spark
plug of the team is Sparrow, a
regular for three years.
Hardin's quint is built around
Earl Schoer, tall, versatile cen
ter, and only returning regular.
He is ably assisted by Snively, OFT
Hammer and Saunders, all of
whom YER on the squad last
year. Other A squad members are
Lang, Jones, Schaller, Frazer,
Sturzinegger, Bell, Newark, Scally
and Swain.
Games begin at 8 pm. on both
Friday and Saturday evenings.
Sheridan meets Laurel and Hardin
plays Billings Friday and the win
ners and losers tangle Saturday.
Officials are Mike Henry of
Forsyth and Gene Pearson of
Billings.

HERRERA TERM
IS

District Judge Guy c. Derry
gave Paul Herrera a five veal
suspended sentence last Thursday
after Herrera had pleaded guilty
to a charge of manslaughter in
connection with the fatal shooting
of Robert Rhinehart, April 30.
The sentence was suspended by
recommendation of County At
torney Bert w. Kronmiller. Kron-
miller said that testimony during
the hearing showed that Herrera
was not fully conscious Of what
he was doing when he fired the
shot that struck Rhinhart. The
shot occurred, said Kronmiller,
shortly after an assault upon Her
rera during which he was badly
injured.

Sheridan Worms
OF Rood Dangers

In a statement made this week,
Col. Charles l.. Sheridan, super
visor of the Montana State high
way patrol warned of the dangers
of driving while under the influ-
ence of liquor.
Col. Sheridan pointed out that
when a driver has been drink
ing he endangers not only his own
life, but the lives and property IF
others. He cited as an example an
accident which claimed the lives
of four persons recently.
The man responsible had been
drinking heavily all afternoon, and
many persons saw him get into
his car and drive away at a
high rate Of speed. He crashed
head-on into another automobile.
Sensible men will never drive
when they have been drinking
and the public should combine to
see that the irresponsible do not
drive, said the colonel. "Our re-
cords show that in one out of
five fatal accidents, liquor is in
volved."
1t was pointed out by the pa
troll head that patrolmen cannot
be everywhere at once. He closed
his statement with this plea: IF
you see someone getting into a
car and you feel hat he is not
in fit condition to drive, do
something about it. If you can't
handle the situation yourself, call
the nearest officer and let him
handle it. 1t may save a life".
