Forsyth Dogies Showed Under by Hardin
Bulldogs in Game Here Friday,
$50. Local Backfie|d Shows Ability
Football Tenn
Remoins Undefeoted
As Result Of Contest

Hardin's Bulldogs displayed
some fancy gridiron fireworks
in defeating the Forsyth Dog
les by a score of 80 to 0 at the
fairgrounds field here last Fri
day.
The pass domination of Bob
Saunders to Grossman clicked
for considerable yardage and
Kunau and Sturzenegger both
got away for long runs to pay
dirt, Kunau galloping 43 to
cross the goal line and Sturz-
enegger takin~ off from the so
after a pass interrogation.
The Hardin substitutes, who
played in the final period, al
so showed ground-gaining alb
ility, though their defense
proved weaker than that of the
first stringers. Lloyd Saunders
unlimbered his passing arm for
some nice losses to Haug which
put the subs dangerously near
Forsyth's goal line when the
gun sounded.
Ragland displayed his usual
pile-driver tactics to gain
ground for the Bulldogs.
The Dogies were deep in Har-
din territory twice during the
contest. One threat came in the
second quarter, when Elk and
Nile alternately cracked the
Bulldogs line for gains that
brought Forsyth to the Bull
dogs 10 yard line before the
local eleven took over the
downs.
In the final stanza, the en-
tire FORSYTH backfieid was act
i've in an assault against the
Hardin second-stringers which
was halted on the Bulldogs IL
yard marker, after penetrating
to the seven.
Forsyth showed ability in
running kick-offs back to nea:

three runs Of 20 yards or more.

Bonds for PaWinq in
City Being Sold
To Local Residents

At the Chamber of Commerce
meeting Friday evening, George
Daniels, member of the city
council and vice president of
the Chamber, renorted on the
sale of bonds for Improvement
Districts Nos. 80 and 40.
When all work is completed,
he said, there will be 80 blocks
of new paving in the CITY, 21h
blocks in District 40 in the
east part of town. This will
give Hardin as much paving as
there is in Sheridan, Wyo., at
present.
All bonds, he reported, for
District No. 40 .totalling ""7,-
900 have been sold. OF the $76,-

SO, buyers have taken $45, 900.

Ing to Daniels, but it was felt
that local people should have
a chance to make the invest
ment which pays a relatively
high rate of interest, so that
the income from the bonds
could be kept in this vicinity.
The bonds are serial bonds,
he explained, which come due
on the first day of each of 10
years, beginning with Jan. l.,
1949. When all bonds have been
pledged, the buyers assemble
and draw for due numbers. In
this way, the holders bonds
may be taken up in a year,
five years, or may draw inter-
est for the entire 10 years, de-
pending on the number drawn.
Daniels pointed out that in
1929 a law was passed. requir-
ing that five per cent of the
cost of an IMPROVEMENT dist

to cover delinquencies from un-
paid taxes in the district, etc.

goes back into it. The amount

riot No. "a, which was improved

he said. This fund will contin-

increased by the revolving funds

Daniels urged that the unsold
bonds be DISPOSED of quickly,
since the paving project is of
the utmost importance to Har-
din.

Work to Begin on
County Airport
Soon,S Surveyor Says

A bright future for the Big
Horn county airport, located on
the rim east of the Big Horn,
was predicted by County Sur
veyor Wayne w. Linthacum in
a report at the Chamber of
Commerce meeting Friday night
Linthacum said that the
scheduled improvements will
definitely be made. The ap-
preparation has been made. The
money set aside by the county
and matched by the CAA is
still allocated for the project,
and even if construction is not
begun in the present fiscal
year, it will continue to be
available, he stated.
There Is now a total of SILL
900 in the fund, and by the
time actual construction is be-
gun, there will be an addition
al $4,000 in the county treasury.
The addition of federal funds
will bring the amount up to
about $4,000.
Engineering for the project
is well along, according to
Linthacum, and construction
will be begun on the admins
tration building and access
road this spring. It is estimated
that the building and road will
cost between $4,000 and ST.
600. Turf runwavs are planned.
Linthacum predicted that in
a few years, after improve
ments have been completed,
Hardin can ask for and receive
Western Air service.

There's been a large zap in
our community life for almost
the last two months. It seems
good to be able to announce
that the library is open again,
ready for the student, the
browser the searcher for know
ledge, or just the reader who
enjoys a quiet evening with a
book.
It did seem strange to be
without a library, but we think
perhaps it was well worth
while for a beautiful redecor-
ating job has been done. The
walls are now a soft, fresh and
oh-so-clean sage green, with
tn woodwork just a shade or
two darker. The plaster has
been repaired on the walls and
ceiling, and the varnish brush
has been welded to good eff
feet. The atmosphere is more
conducive than ever to quiet
reading, selection of reading
matter or just shopping among
the volumes.
There are some new fluor-
escent lights too, which aug
ment the five big fixtures of
this type that the library al
ready boosted.
Our librarian Mrs. Christian
sen, tells us that there are sew
eral new books now on the
shelves and many more on the
way.
We've missed the library and
think it will be used more than
ever, and with greater pleas
ure.
