Donkey Baseball Game Keeps
Boys Happy at Boiling Base

Anything to keep the boys happy!
A troop OF donkeys was hired for
$500 yesterday at the Boiling Air
Force Base 50 the officers could play
donkey baseball against the airmen.
The end OF the fifth inning (the
limit in donkey-basebalD saw the
score tied at to S.
This donkey baseball is an incred-
ible example Of every mans salts
faction in playing the clown-if he
gets q laugh. The Air Force boys
succeeded in getting the laughs as
they involuntarily executed head
first somersaults over their mounts
heads when they should have been
fielding q ball or running for base.
The game is played with a limp
soft ball that has had the stufings
knocked out of it. The pitcher and
the catcher are the only ones who
play dismounted, and the pitcher is
confined in his fielding to a 10-foot
corridor between the mound and
the plate. ..r
Tough With Three On.
Four donkeys are used for base
running. That's enough. Even with
three on, there Is q donkey for the
batter. One Of the four is led to
a point on the first base line about
8 feet from the batter's box. When
the batter hits a ball, he mounts

1t to run to first.
Every fielder has 4 donkey by the
halter. If he fields the ball, he has
to mount his donkey before he can
throw it. The best way is to relay
it to first through the pitcher. Capt.
James McClanahan and Sergt. Leon
ard Vanackerman, rival third base
men, had the toughest position. The
donkey that played third was a
bucker. BY general agreement, the
third basemen were allowed to
throw the ball after they had been
pitched OF the donkey.
Two black donkeys, Clementine
and Dick Tracy, provided for base
running, were buckers, too. Hardly

Import Cut Demands Careful
Planning By Norwegians

NEW YORK, N. Y.-(R.N.I.S.)
Some ramifications of the aus
terity program which the world
dollar shortage is debating for
Norwegian consumers during 1948
We're outlined by Norwegian Sup
ply Minister Nils Honsvald before
Parliament on June 21st At that
time, the supply chief referred to
the 1913 National Budget or Year
Program which called for cut in
consumption of consumers goods
from $50 of 1889 achieved by
194O to rigid $3.50 during the
present year. Figures presented
at that time show how these neces-
sary cuts are affecting the Norwe-
gian home-maker. Import restric-
tons are being felt primarily in
the clothing industry, with ready
made wears especially hard-hit.
Though Norwegian textile produc-
ton rose during the first months
of 1913 to 4051 tons against 3044
tons for a similar period last year,
imports during the same period
dropped from 4646 tons (1947) to
a mere 1912 tons. This represents
a net decrease in ION the counter
goods" of some 2O97 tons or 27GS
during the first 4 months of 194S
Among badly needed products are
womens' wool stockings - of
which some 100000 pairs are to
be imported later in the year. Nor
wegian mills will turn out SIM
liar quantity by years end.
Shoe supplies during 1947 were
on par with pre-war with total
of 100000 pairs. Of these, how
ever, 100000 were imported and
will be unavailable for the Nor
wegian buyer this year. Raw ma
terial shortages will further cut
Norwegian production though ev-
cry effort will be made to sustain
work shoe output. Rubber foot
wear production has topped pre-
war and a considerable quantity is
now available for export.
AS earlies anticipated in the Ma
tional Budget, food supplies have
been only slightly reduced under
the rigid import policy. During
the first 4 months of 194S it has
been possible to continue the 1947

New Swedish Short Wave Station For
Contact With Ships At Sea

STOCKHOLM. - Swedish ships
sailing in foreign waters now have
better opportunities of keeping in
touch with their country, the new
Swedish shortwave radio telephone
transmitter Onsala- Vallda on the
Swedish West coast having been
put into service on June H. to be
followed shorty by a new short
wave telegraphy transmitter. Ac-
cording to press reports tests with

ration schedule. Earlier fears that
the tat ration might have to be
reduced from 40 to 90 grams dur
ing the summer months has proved
to be without foundation. Milk
production is at present $50 of
1889, but milk consumption in Nor
way has risen since liberation to
1000 over pre-War. With NorWe-
gians drinking nearly twice as
much milk as ever before, it has
been necessary to cut cheese pro-
duction. Butter, on the other hand,
has been in good supply during the
summer months, and has been
available on all fat ration coupons.
Problems connected with storing
the butter surplus have necessitat-
ed exports of that product. The
coffee ration has been maintained,
thanks to an agreement with for
eign producers whereby payment
can now be made in other than
dollar exchange.
Special efforts are being made
to increase production of potatoe
flour, an important Norwegian
household item. In short supply
ever since the outbreak of the
war in 1910. this product has
shown few signs of recovery. This
year it is hoped to increase output
to 1000 tons.
Seen as a whole, the supply pic
ture, following the first 4 months
of 194S, predicts continuing short
ages of less essential consumer
items. Whether or not new inter-
national efforts to break the dollar
bottle-neck of world trade may
forecast an improvement for next
year remains to be seen.

"Sweden Must Pull In

Minister GjO;res

STOCKHOLM, July 8.-(By air.
MALL immediate eco
nomic future was painted in dark
colors by Axel Chores, Minister of
Commerce, during a recent debate
in the Riskdag. Exports, it was
pointed out, are facing increasing
difficulties, and imports must be
cut down still further. In addition,
labor shortage threatens. eve

land export even what we would
like to keep for ourselves"
One bright spot, however, is the
fact that the Government, indus
try. and labor all agree that an at
tempt must be made to call halt
to the rise in prices and wages.
Each interested group has indi-
vidually announced its adherence
to a united endeavor to prevent a
continued rise in prices and to
guard money values from further
deterioration. This action finds
expression in recommendations
from various organizations to its
members to show modesty in their
wage demands and in the fixing of
prices. It also aims at trying to
achieve a sterilization by the end
of the year.

Breed of Sire Affects
Size of Lamb Crop

HAMPSHIRE RAMS used on typi-
cal range ewes in Wyoming will ap-
parently produce a greater total
weight of lambs at birth by produc-
ing a larger number; Suffolk sires
will produce heavier individual
lambs, but fewer of them
This is the information contained
in a summary of a Hampshire-Suf-
folk sire comparison which is being
conducted by the Wyoming expert
ment station. The comparison is be-
ing made in cooperation with the
Convey, Bagley, and Dayton Sheep
Co. at Cokeville, Wyo.
R. H. Burns, head of the Univer-
sity of Wyoming wool department,
said that a group of Hampshire-sired
lambs had averaged Ills pounds
apiece at birth, in comparison with
liz pounds for Suffolk-sired lambs,
but that the larger number of lambs
in the Hampshire group outweighed
those in the Suffolk group.
Hampshire-sired rams from a
group of $50 range ewes weighed
a total of 2,142 pounds, while SUI
folk-sired lambs from a similar
group of $50 ewes weighed a total
of 2,018 pounds, according to Burns.
Hampshire rams produced 189 lambs
when used on the $50 ewes in their
group, while the Suffolk sires pro-
duced 1853 lambs from $50 ewes.
Thirty-six percent of the ewes on
which Hampshire sires were used
produced twin lambs, while only Is
percent of the Suffolk group pro-
duced twins, the wool specialist in
dictated. Twelve percent of the ewes
on which Suffolk rams were used
failed to produce lambs, while 10
percent of the Hampshire group
were dry ewes.

1884 Average Realized
at Billings Junior Sale

NINETY-EIGHT steers fed and

The top prime steer, consigned by
Elmer Krum of Huntley, brought
$42.50 a hundredweight from the

bring its owner a total of $435.12.
The highest total for a single ami
NAL went to Charles Skorupa of

$458.57 and the second-high average
of $41.50. His steer was purchased
by Safeway Stores of Billings.
The steers were graded by Paul
