Skating Rink Now
Ready For Use

After four hoodings, the skat-
ing rink west of the Agency
barracks is in readiness for skat-
ers. The area embraces nearly an
acre, the ice surface being all
that could be desired for skating.
T h e project was conceived
early in the winter, but weather
conditions would not contribute
towards realization of skating
ice. Weather conditions of the
last few days have been the ones
necessary. Under plans of the
project, the Town of Browning
contributed the water. Public
spirited citizens at the Agency
donated their time. Jack Frost
did his share, yet belatedly, and
somewhat grudgingly.
Children are asked to observe
curfew in their use of the rink
and deport themselves properly
as to not make it necessary to
abandon the project.
Thursday evenings are de-
signated for adults when children
will avail elders exclusive use of
the rink.

Burglars Enter
Highway Cafe;
Take Sugar, Butter

The Highway Cafe is short of
between 60 and 70 pounds of
sugar, approximately 10 pounds
of butter and an undetermined
quantity of canned goods as the
result of a burglary committed
early Sunday morning.
The burglars gained access to
the establishment by crashing
the glass in the front door of the
dining room.
Punch board prizes of sub
stantial value and other mer-
chandise stock, which ordinarily
would tempt thieves, remained
untouched.
John Gibson, owner and pro-
prietor of the establishment, was
first to discover the crime when
he reported for work at $50 that
morning.
What at first appeared to him
to be flesh and blood evidence
served on a silver platter was
none other than Jennie johnson.
an elderly little woman, who Of
ficers believe, had wondered into
the place after the burglary to
enjoy the comfort of the dining
room stove.
Jennie was dead-drunk!
She was taken to Jail, quest
ioning after she had sobered up
failing to establish that she had
taken part in the burglary or
knew what had happened.

Wayne's At It Again
Despite Wartime Crash
OF Ave Maria"

The Great Falls Tribune Mon
day carried a picture of t h e
Simms Future Farmers band,
which gave a request perform
ance before the state legislature
at Helena that day.
Cornetist in the group wa S
Wayne Duncan. former Brown
ing high school youth, now a
Simms high school senior.
Days were when his musician
ship was somewhat rife wit h
"blue notes" compared with his
red hot ones these days.
How we'll we remember his
cornet rendition of Schubert
Ave Maria" on a school pro-
gram with Faith Sherburne as
piano accompanist in war days.
With heart-breaking sweet
ness and pathos, bar after bar
yielded the lofty substance of the
composers soul. But finally as
Wayne assembled above the mu-
sic staff somehow he lost his
footing, with melodic sweetness
crashing to earth. Wayne swore
he'd never blow another note,
for here was q musician in the
mire of humiliation.
But it didn't keep him down
for good. Again he went at it
and he now can crawl and jump
all over the staff without out.

Discussion continues relative to the
plane which flew over Bluffton the
other Sunday morning. We hope it
was nothing more than thotlessness
on the part of the pilot in the report
edly single motored plane flying so
low the noise of its one motor dis
rupted worship services in two
churches. However, it is incidents
such as this which unfortunately re-
fleet discredit on the whole aerial
program, as officials of the Bluffton
airfield perceived when they were
quick to disclaim any connection with
the affair.

in large German type on paper made

| state of preservation. Many of the
books of 100 years and older are in
better condition than later volumes
due to the fact that paper of the
older books is made from rags, usual
ly linen rags which has never been
surpassed as a material for quality
