"Mary's gone home" brings a
mingled feeling of joy and sor-
row at the Blackfeet Hospital
these days. After eight years in
our hospital. Mary SHORTAGE has
been released to 20 to her home

Mary has been 40 inspiration

Her greatest accomplishment

@>O~~~~
With the annual Blackfeet
Roundup just around the corner
and with we'll conceived publicity
now reacting to bring to Brown
ing July 3 and 4 crowd ant!ci-
pated to be the largest since the
inception of the project in 1911,
it wonld seem that the Great
Falls Tribune would know some
thing about it.
In q Monday story the Tribune
pointing out the wartime absnd-
onment of major fairs through
out the country, lists rodeos in
middle western and western
states. giving dates and purses.
But the BIackfeet Roundup
fails to get upon the list.
We would not charge the Trib.
une with deliberate intent of
belittlsment. However, it would
seem that as fine a project as is
the Blackfeet Roundup would be
uppermost when writer's get to
writing copy at this time for
readers, who are rodee-minded.
