Safe and Sane Fourth of July Will Be
Celebrated in Hardin Vicinity
Most Plon Scenic
Or Fishing Trips
During Holiday

The fact that fireworks of all
kinds are virtually unobtain-
able assures Hardin residents
of an opportunity to "sleep in"
the morning of July 4 if they
feel so inclined.
The canon crackers and tor
pedoes, to say nothing of the
fancier bombs, that delighted
the hearts of the small fry
hereabouts in the prewar years
are still not to be had and the
once-common 4 a. m. lombard
ment which ushered in the pa
triotic holiday is stilled.
Many Hardin families will
take advantage of the holiday
to spend a long weekend in
Yellowstone National park or in
mountain OF lakeside resorts.
A few hardy souls will shoulder
their bedrolls and make for the
secluded streams in hopes OF
Turing forth some of the trout
that should have grown fat or
frisky during the war years
when the press of work OF the
shortage of gasoline forced the
anglers to remain at home.
The only event in observance
of the day here will be the
Farmers Union picnic which
will be held in the city park.
Families who plan to remain
at home will in many cases
have picnics of their own or
dinner guests On the holiday.

Trains II and A
To Be Resumed
Montana Railroad
Commission Orders
Train Service

The Montana railroad COM
mission Friday ordered service
lof Burlington passenger trains
No. Al and A to return to Serv-
ice by August l.
Before they were taken out
of service in December, 1912, by
order of the office of defense
transportation to provide equip
ment for other runs, the trains
operated between Billings and
Kansas City, Mo.
The order was revoked last
October by the ODT. When the
Burlington failed to restore the
two trains, the Montana COM
mission held a hearing in Bill
lingS last December II and IL.
This hearing was ordering the
railroad to show cause why it
should not resume service.
The commission voted two to
one in ruling that the railroad
had failed to show sufficient
reason why the service should
mot be restored. Chairman Paul
IT. Smith and Horace Casey
voted to order restoration of
! service, Leonard Young against.
At the December hearing, J.
E. Moore, president of the Bill
lings Commercial club, testified
any service curtailment would
be destructive to Billings in
tereStS.
Billings is essentially a dis
tributing center and it's impor-
lance as such has arisen from
it's strategic location, with par
ticular reference to transporta-
ton facilities available to the
city," Moore testified.
Under croSS-eXamination, the
witness was asked if operation
of passenger service at a loss
would not require higher
freight rates. He replied that
no decrease in rates had re-
suited from stoppage of the
service.
The railroad testified that
trains AZ and 43 provided ade-
quate service without restora-
ton of Al and A.
Railroad brotherhoods sup
ported restoration of service.
If and when service is re-
sumed between Billings and
Wyola, that part of the line
under Montana jurisdiction, it
is presumed the trains will run
through Wyoming.

SURVEY NEARS
COMPLETION

Final surveys on the Big
Horn county water resources
survey should be completed
about August l, Gerald J.. Ora
vetz, assistant state engineer,
announced last week.
The object of this survey is
to determine what is being ir-
rigated at present, what can be
irrigated, and what facilities
that are already constructed
can be rehabilitated.
Oravetz stated that final
maps and tabulations showing
acreages under irrigation sys-
TENS of various sorts will be
available soon after the surveys
are finished.
Preliminary work is now be-
ing started in Rosebud and
Custer counties. Necessary data
on the Tongue river basin will
be obtainable when this work
is completed.

WEEVIL SLOWS
SECOND CROP

Alfalfa weevil, after attack
ing and damaging the first
crop of alfalfa hay, has set the
second growth back from two
to four weeks, County Extension
Agent M. w. Heaphy reports.
Many fields that have bee1,
set back are now starting to
green, not because the weevi]
has disappeared, but they are
undergoing. a change in form
Most Of the worms have be-
come fully developed and are
CHANGING from a worm to a
beetle. The weevil does not eat
during the pupal stage, which
lasts from 10 days to two
consequently alfalfa
that has been attacked by the
larva will have a chance To
grow during this period.
In order to get the most eff
fective results from spraying
or busting, the poison should
be applied when the weevil is
in the beetle or worm stage of
the life cycle.
Poison applied in the pupal
stage will not be effective I'M
til the adults emerge. The
adults feed on green alfalfa
stems and leaves throughout
the season, but do little injury,
as compared to that done by
the larva. However, an infesta-
ton considered of little impor-
lance in a hay field is often
sufficient to render seed pro-
duction Improbable because the
larva feed on the newly devel-
oping tips and destroy the bios
som buds that prevent seed de-
velopment.

Gives Report
On Underground

In an interview Tuesday,
Lloyd Frazer of Ohio, who is
visiting relatives here, related
his experiences after he had
been shot down in France and
the work of the French under
ground.
In his 18th mission over the
invasion coast of France, "Dou-
ble-'Trouble," the B-26 in which
he was engineer-gunner, flew
into the fire of a swarm of
Focke-Wulf 1905. One engine
was knocked out in flames, the
turret shot away and the con-
troll cables severed.
Frazer parachuted to safety
in occupied France, landing in
a tree top. From that moment
until he arrived in England
again, three months later, the
French underground aided him.
During the time he was in
France, he mingled with the
German soldiers.
Families connected with the
underground would feed, clothe
and shelter him for a short
time when he would then pass
along to another home. He did
this until he had reached Eng
land.
After spending about four
years in the army, Frazer was
discharged October 8, 1945, at
the Rommulus army air base at
Detroit, Mich. OF these four
years, he spent over two years
overseas.
Lloyd Frazer, former techni-
cal sergeant of the army air
! corps, is the son of Charles Fra
yer. He was born in Crow Az
ency in 1922 and lived there
until he was seven.
Frazer arrived in Hardin
Monday evening and will spend
several days here visiting his
grandmother, Mrs. Alma Fraz-
er, and his uncle, Bill Frazer
and family.

HOPPERS INCREASING

A survey conducted recently
in Big Horn county indicated
a moderate to heavy infestatioll
of grasshoppers developing in
the north and northeast por-
tons of the county, M. w. Hea-
ply, county agent, reported.
Early batting is the most eff
fective means of control be-
cause the grasshoppers are
more exposed and susceptible
to the bait when the nympns
are small.
Grasshopper bait and a linn
tied number of bait spreaders
may be obtained at the county
fairgrounds or by contracting
the county agents office.

'Anti-Lubor
Petition
Drive Bored

Washington (FP) - A new,
countrywide campaign to press
for anti-labor legislation through
petitions from workers themselves
has come to light as the first post
election development of the u. S.
right wing.
Batches of petitions, bound to a
blue cardboard cover headlined
"Citizens! Our Country is in Dan
ger" have appeared in the capital
and industrial centers over the ad-
dress Of one Michael j. Koch, r.
d. No. /, Evans City, Pa.
Evans City is in the Pittsburgh
suburban area, but two hours of
effort by long distance operator
failed to locate Koch there or in
surrounding communities through
which Evans City is served by
phone.
The petitions have been prepar-
ed by Koch, who asks that they be
ordered from him before Feb. 2S
at 5 pads for so cents or 100 for
So.
Inside, the petitions are made
out to congressman or senator
and read as follows:
"The undersigned citizens of
the United Sataes of America re-
spectfully request that you use the
power Of your office to reinstate
to the people of our country the
following rights as guaranteed by
our Constitution:
THE RIGHT TO WORK RE-
CARELESS OF ANY UNION.
"THE RIGHT TO DRIVE A
CAR OR TRUCK REGARDLESS
OF ANY UNION.
"THE RIGHT TO ENTER ANY
BUILDING OR PLACE REGARD
LESS OF ANY UNION.
owe further ask that you in
stitute proceedings to compel our
elected officials to perform their
duties In protecting the people in
the enjoyment of these rights re-
gardless of any union"
Koch's instructions on the cover
of each book of IL petitions asks
each distributor to make out three
starting with his or her name and
addressed to the district congress-
man and two senator's, and to have
each person sign three times. He
suggests speed in mailing petitions
as completed.
when you have exhausted you
list of prospective signers, pass
the unused portion of the pad to
some other patriotic citizen and
urge him or her to go to work.
Purchase as many pads as you can
afford and place in the hands of
other workers." Koch advises.
