The Hardin Boosters basket
ball team announced this week
that widley-circulated reports
to the contrary notwithstand-
ing, no cheer leaders have been
chosen as yet. Although unan-
1mous election was claimed in
some quarters, several members
OF the team have filed a peti-
ton for a recount. Others State
that they will express no opin.
ion until the leading contend
ers appear in costume and
demonstrate their ability. The
Hardin Tribune Herald man
agement is taking an attitude
strict neutrality in the con-
troversy, demanding only that
all concerned receive fair play
in the matter. We are of the
opinion that the Australian
ballot should be used so that
all voters may keep their in
violable right to a secret vote.

Up and
DOWn
the Street

We won a prize, so we are
informed this week, and we
don't think second place in
Montana among papers Compel
ing in the Soil Conservation
newspaper contest is bad, at
that. (Bv means of a bit of
contortion, we have been pat
ting ourselves gently, but firmly
on the back all week, especially
as there is a pretty fair sized
reward in war bonds that goes
with the honor.)
We got the official notice in
a letter which arrived Saturday.
We didn't get told who won
first, or any other prize, nor
did we get any information as
to how many papers were en-
tered. When we find out, it
may take our self-esteem down
a peg, though we do have per-
Sonal knowledge of at least five
that were in on it. We think
we had a slight advantage over
most of them, too, because Har-
din was fortunate enough to
play host to DR.. H. H. Bennett
and have a most successful Soil
Conservation field-day here,
which really gave us an excel
Lent opportunity for a special
edition.
We owe our advertisers who
tied their messages in with the
Soil Conservation idea a vote of
thanks, too. The Soil Conserva-
ton office here gave us a ire
mendous amount of help. With
out the aid of the staff, who
furnished Us with vast quanti-
ties of information, the special
edition would have been impos-
sible. Anyhow, our sincere ap-
probation to everyone who
helped us-and we hope that
you feel you have a share in
the honor. eve didn't say any,
thing about sharing the prize,
though!)
We're not at all sure we're
supposed to release the news,
since We got such a small
amount of information, but Vi
course we can't resist q "scoop,"
especially when it reflects to our
credit.
A little bird (about six feet
tall also told us that we have
a place winner in Big Horn
County in the essay contest, but
that the names are not yet for
official publication.

The first heavy snowfall of
the season always has a magic
al quality, especially when it
spreads its white mantle over
night. We always gaze in Won
der at the tress,. bare the night
before, bearing a soft white
burden in their arms. The
commonplace and the ugly are
always transformed.
A soft, deep snow has an ex-
hlleratlng effect on man and
beast alike. The other morning,
as we took our customary long
look out the window, we saw
a couple of half-grown puppies
come racing into view. They
put on an amazing exhibition
OF calisthenics. They snuffed at
the snow and tossed it in the
air with their noses, they roll
led in it, and chased each other
through 1t, as delighted as a
pair of children.
Then our young fry rolled out
OF bed, and it was all we could
do to prevent a headlong plunge
out the back door without ben
eft OF shoes or any other
clothing. When we finally made
1t clear that clothes were es-
sential to contact with the
snow, we had none of our US
ual before breakfast arguments
about getting dressed. The
clothes were slipped on so qiuck-
ly and effortlesslv that we
could hardly believe our eyes
or ears.
That first snowfall is magical
In more ways than one.
