 Police said Mrs. Kingman and her husband were about to enter their car, parked in the down. town section, when another car with three men drove up. One of the trio, flashing a gun, got out and tried to rob the couple.
 Why you infamous pup" Mrs. Kingman exclaimed and slapped the gunman in the face. This so maddened him, she told police, that he slugged her about the arms and face with his gun.
 The trio then fled with no loot. Mrs. Kingman was treated for bruises.

either side of the narrow road,
the moose just stood his ground.
Continued early SHOWS have fin

Tapping Fees Okd
For Boom Towns

Recognizing the boomtown
growth of Hungry Horse and Mar
tin City, Montana's public serv-
ice commission authorized and
ordered that tapping fees be
charged.
The board in session in Helena
Concluded that Ray Williams, now
operating as the Glacier Water
company is entitled to collect a
tapping fee of $50 per connection
or So per front foot if previously
contracted.
This decision stems from an
October IA hearing held at Hun
cry Horse where Donald T. Ste
wart filed complaint that Ray
Williams would not furnish water
to his property unless fee of So
per foot or $500 was paid and that
was unreasonable.
The commissions decision SUD-
ports Williams claim that such
a tapping fee is necessary in view
of the probable six year life of
the Hungry Horse project, and
that further it was in the form of
a contract to induce him to estab-
fish a water company.
In another decision, the public
service commission approved the
charging of SIS tapping on fees
for the Martin City Water COM
pany, and of S25 for residences and
$50 for business connections by
the Hungry Horse Water COM
pany (Damtown).
Among the paragraphs in the
boards finding is this: From
the evidence it is apparent that
the systems were installed and
the rates fixed on the basis of col
lecitng the tapping fees. Were we
(the board now to disapprove the
fees and require return of such
the companies would be
placed in a position to lose their
entire investment and the peo-
pie of the area would stand to
lose the availability of a water
system or they would be required
to raise their rates"

Standing Arduous

Standing takes IA per cent more
energy than sitting, according to the
department Of agriculture. For this
reason specialists recommend that
homemakers sit to do all lengthy
Jobs located in one place. That
would include such tasks as ironing,
polishing silver. peeling potatoes
and preparing other vegetables and
fruits. 1t would also spply to hand
mixing bread, cake or cookies and
