Commissioners Will Hear Arguments
On Holding County Fair in Hardin
Hearing Is Set for
MonddY. August S.
At 10 A. M. Here

The Big Horn county commits
SOnerS are holding a special
hearing on Monday, August 5,
to consider holding a county
fair here in 1947, it was an
nounced this week.
The Big Horn County Cham
Der of Commerce requested the
commissioners to consider the
matter, since considerable ia
vOrable opinion on the question
has already been expressed, Of
ficerS said.
County fairs were once held
here, it was pointed out. The
american Legion cooperated
for a time, and then when the
Legion-sponsored Hardin rodeo
became a yearly project, gen.
eral interest in a fair waned.
The Legion is no longer hold
ing rodeos here and has prom
iSed its support for a county
fair, which would display local
talent only and would give
c county agriculturists and
housewives, as well as All and
Future Farmers members a
chance to display their prod
ucts.
A strictly local talent rodeo
has been suggested as one part
of the program.
If a fair is to be held here in
1947, the commissioners must
include a levy to provide funds
in this years budget and must
also appoint a fair board to
make all arrangements.
All persons interested in such
a project are asked to appear
before the commissioners on
August 5 or write to them be-
fore that time.

Will Discuss
Gift TO Fund
County Quota for State
Advertising Set at
$1,000 by Montdndns. Inc.

A delegation from the Bis
Horn County Chamber of Com:
MERGE and other interested
citizens will meet at 2 p. m. Fri
day afternoon with the board
of county commissioners to dis
cuss the county's contribution
to the $4,000 fund asked by
Montanans, Inc, to be used for
advertising the tourist attrac-
tionS and industrial advantage
es of the state.
The quota for this county, set
by the state chamber of COM
merce, is $1,000.
James j. Flaherty of Great
Falls, president of Montanans,
Inc, urged statewide support of
the fund to insure a continual
ton of the states boom tourist
years into 1947, 1913 and there
after, in a statement issued
this week.
almost half of he counties
of the state have already sub
scribed to the fund or have in
dicated that they will subscribe,
Flaherty said. 1T is our hope
that the remaining counties will
shortly fall into line. The fund
is designed to aid all Montana
and all Montana citizens have
a vital stake in the funds sue
cess"
The fund will be admins
tered in both tourist and in
dr1strio1 odvarticipu ond p,,h1io-
ity designed to bring new in
dustry to Montana as well as
to continue boom tourist years
according to F1aherty. Tourist
advertising IS made necessary
because surrounding states
have appropriated large sums
for this purpose. Utah is spend
ing about $4,000 and Idaho
$500, 900. it was stated.
Though Montanans know the
states outstanding vacation re-
sources. potential tourists from
the Midwest and East will be
attracted to other areas in en-
suing years unless this state
tells them about it's attractions,
F1aherty warned.
Tourists will spend about
$50,O00,0 900 in Montana this
year, Flaherty said, and this
revenue will be continued in
the future if an effective ad-
vertising program is carried
out. New industries could be a
source of additional thousands
of dollars, he added.
