the most popular for both boys and girls
was horseback riding. Next in popularity
with the boys was "tinkering with the
jalopy or other machinery" Other activi-
ties included playing various instruments,
reading, listening to the radio, sewing, hunt

We Just Have Fun
BY DON r. BOSLEY

WE ASKED questions, and that's what
w the nswer added up to-"We just
nave fun"
The chief question was, "What do teen
ayers on Montana farms and ranches do for
recreation?" What we really wondered was
whether, in this modern age when even the
most remotely located farm or ranch is
seldom more than an easy hours drive
from town, rural youth had turned entirely
to the town for its pleasures.
To find out we put the questions to more
than 100 boys and girls living on farms and
ranches in all parts of the state and located
at distances ranging from 3 to 50 miles from
town. The average was Ii miles.
To hear them tell it there are no sad
cases of youngsters pining away in distant
spots with only a dog for a companion.
Those days are over. Even the young man
who reported that he lived so miles from
town said that he got in to town at least
once a week.
More Fun in the Country
But neither lave they become simply
commuters to town for their recreation.
They take full advantage of the fact that
all the recreational facilities of the town
are now available to them, but the oppor-
tunities that are theirs by right of living
in the country are still their first choice.
Here's the way Loryl Johnson of Lozeau
puts it:
Recreation covers a big territory, but
to me it means the out-of-doorS -. hunting
and fishing and roaming through the woods.
My activities Sundays and evening consist
mostly of outings, ENTHUSIASTICALLY a
party or dance. A lot of these include our
parents. You know, I found out our par
ents can be just lots of fun if given just
half a chance with young folks.
"I belong to a All livestock club, outdoor
cookery club and an entomology club, so
you see my time is well conferred in my own
community where I like to be.
Il live in the wooded mountains close to
a river and there my heart is. No chasing
the highways and by-ways Except for an
occasional movie) looking for excitement
when l have the cleanest and the most in
teresting recreation right here at home"
Rosetta Rush of Billings felt the same
way. She said, "Most farm and ranch
youths think the only way to have fun on
Saturday night is to go in to town to some
dance or show. That may be fun, but old
fashioned barn dances are just as much fun.
Get the kids in the All club and all the rest
of the kids in the community together and
put on a barn dance. It's something diff
ferent and a lot of fun. We had a few in
our community and they turned out swell"
And Lory1 and Rosetta seemed to speak
for many. To the direct question, "Do you
go to town for most of your recreation?" the
answer in at least half the cases was, mo-

1t was clear from the w that these
youngsters would never be bored ever if
they were thrown back entirely on their
own resources for entertainment.
Big Times Saturday Nights
But they're a gregarious bunch, too. Just
as dad used to saddle up and ride Is or 20
miles to a dance on Saturday night, so now,
come Saturday night, their first instinct is
to wind up the jalopy and go s~omeplace
with the gang.

year in the Nations Capital the American way
Of life shows bright and shining side. All

fulfilled an ancient prophecy, I'm that day I

The Red Feather is the sign Of religion
that bows not only at altars but which also
walks the streets. 1t is badge of honor. It
marks the wearer as one whose philosophy OF
life is not just to feather his own nest, but to
help cushion the blows of adverse circum-
stances which fall relentlessly on others less
fortunate.
It is inspiring to visualize the army OF busy
people turning in selfess enthusiasm from
their own affairs, willing to trudge the streets,
to write letters, to ring doorbells, to COM

others might have care and food and shelter

The Red Feather means all that. 1t is re-

Fast Police Work

The fast and Intelligent work OF the
police in "breaking" the Johnson holdup-
murder case is reassuring to the public IN
these days Of postwar criminal activity.
Acting on descriptions by eyewitnesses OF
the attempted robbery Of the Southwest
drugstore, police picked up several likely
suspects within six hours. One OF these
allegedly confessed that he was the "look-
out" and named his accomplice. Later the
police recovered revolver which had been
found in an alley about two blocks away
from the scene of the crime. The gun
was identified by Federal Bureau of In
vestigation ballistics experts as the one
which fired the fatal bullet. Ownership OF
the gun was traced to man who said
he had sold it two days before the Staying
to the suspect named by the lookout. The
arrest of the second man quickly followed.
Thus, within twenty-four hours OF this
brutal crime, police had obtained an al
legged confession from one Of the two pfln-
cipals and had collected evidence OF the
most damaging sort against the other. 1t
is evident that the end result represented
intensive and relentless investigation by
the combined-and we'll co-ordinated-
forces of the homicide and robbery squads
at Police Headquarters and of the fourth
precinct This Is the type of police news
that makes good reading to law-abiding
citizens. The officers commended by Acting
Detective Chief Murray deserve pat on
the back from the whole community.
