THE CHASE" WITH R0BT. CUMMINGS
 AT 10TH CENTURY

Seymoud Nebenzals thrilling psy- 'chological drama, The Chase" star ring Robert Cummings and featur- ing Michele Morgan, Steve Coch- ran and Peter Lorre. is scheduled to open tonight at the 20th Century Theatre.
 Adapted from the exciting mys- tery novel. The Black Path oi Fear" by Cornell Woolrich the film has a generous mixture of stark drama, romance and suspense. Phil lip Yordan, author of the Broa sway stage hit, Anna Lucasta," wrote the fine screenplay, with Arthur Ripley directing.
 The film tells the story of a young man (Robert Cumm ngs) hopelessly disillusioned and deject- ed, who happens across a wallet packed with money on Miami street. He returns the wallet to its wealthy owner (Steve Cochran). at his magnificent estate, and, for his honesty, is promptly hired as the mans chauffeur.
 Ti,is is only the starter of a strange story, exciting in every foot of the film and most of all enter taining.

something that will be advan-
tageous to every Big Horn
County taxpayer?
If our engineer wants to
draw up a blue print worthy
of the people then why not a
decent hospital? I wouldn't
wonder but what the excellent
offer made by one of our tax
payers, to contribute a half Of
the cost might easily be renew
ed if asked. Why not build a
hospital? If eVerv Big Horn
County family could take their
loved ones to a decent hospital
here, equipped to take care OF
them no matter what was
wrong with them, they could
save money on hotel and cafe
bills, which they have when
taking them elsewhere. They
would do their trading in our
local stores instead of Trading
in the big cities. If we have to
go to the big city to have a
decsntly equipped hospital, then
why should we buy in our home
town? Even our Commissioners
will not patronize the Hardin
Hospital, Why? Let's hear from
you other taxpayers on this
subject.
Sincerely;
a Tax Payer

that you hatta be drunk to keep

The New and Used car mar
ket is the business here. They
say the Werlds largest used car
market is here in Detroit. You
can drive down l street here
Tor an hour looking at used
cars. Most of them are really
new, with less than 1000 miles.
New FordS and CneVyeS, new a
bout $500. Used they are $210J
to $500. It seems that Bucks,
PackardS, Graham Paige or
Kaiser, and Dodge cars are
easier to buy new, the used car
market is loaded with these
models too. / uStd car dealer
has IL new Chevy trucks lined
up. Nothing extra to pay only
the regular price ON these.
Plain or fancy take your pick.
People in Hardin say we otta
buy at home, but who wants to
wait 2 or 8 years for a car, fur
niture or anything else. Boy
here is the place to get any

Now back to poIlyticks in

1t seems republicans are really
tickled to see Wallace run.
Most people think he hasn't d

cinch if the Democrats and Re

have no one to run. Then again

to run and think you are q
