Plan Announced fol
Making Hardin
|LefhaI to Insects

Hardinites will have an OPP
portunity to rid themselves of
flies, mosquitoes and most of
the other winged pests which
make life in summer unplea-
SAINT, it was announced this
week.
Plans call for spraying Har-
din and enough of the sur
rounding country to cover most
nearby breeding places for
mosquitoes by plane.
The BorgeS-Clarksburg air
port, whose planes which have
been spraying for noxious weeds
and insects in this area, will
furnish the plane and pilot free
of charge. The Standard Seed
company will furnish the chem
ical at cost, it was stated.
The Borges pilots, who have
sprayed other towns in the
Northwest, state that the areas
have been inSect-free for a min
imum of three weeks. Especially
susceptible to the spraying are
flies, mosquitoes, beetles, moths
and other winged insects. DOT
has little effect on spiders, and
it is unlikely that many ants
will be killed, experts stated.
The three-Week minimum may
be extended over a much longer
period, depending on the wea-
Their. If it is wet, with frequent
rains the bugs will begin. to
come back in three weeks or
so. If it is dry, however, the
effects of the spraying will
probably last much longer.
The Hardin city council has
given permission for the plane
to fly low over town to do the
spraying. All that is necessary
at present is to collect the nee
essary funds to pay for the
DOT. A fee of So per house is
being asked on a voluntary
basis. Everyone is asked to
leave his contribution at the
Chamber of Commerce office.
If all people who occupy
homes in Hardin pay the fee,
there will be enough to repeat
the operation if necessary, it
was stated. 1t was hoped that
everyone would cooperate. The
work will be done just as soon
as the funds are collected.

learn more about it.
A swimming instruction pro-
gram, under the auspices of the
Big Horn County chapter of the
American Red Cross, is sched-
uled to begin on Monday, July
5, at the Hardin pool.
The program has been made
possible through the coopera-
ton of the Hardin city council,
The use of t pool, which is to
open June Is, according to
present plans, will be free to
all corners, and the council has
employed Miss Alice Riebeth
and Junior Ulrich as lifeguards.
Miss Riebeth, a 1947 gradu-
ate of Hardin high school, has
had swimming instruction at
the University of Montana, Mis-
soula, where she was a student
this year.
In addition, the Red Cross
chapter will send Miss Riebeth
to Wildcat Lake, near Bremen
ton, Wash, to take a Red
Cross instructors course.

committee, which will oversee
the instruction program, is
composed of Mrs. r. E. Peter
son, chairman; Miss Riebeth,
Mrs. Sam Meeke, DR.. M. o. An
derson and one more member
to be appointed.
Any boy or girl or adult may
register for a Red Cross swim
ming course by filling out the
enrolment form to be found on
page 8 of this issue of the
Tribune Herald. It should be
sent to Mrs. Peterson or left at
the Tribune-Herald office:
Tentative plans call for most
classes to be held in the morn
ingS, with the pupils divided &C
cording to their abilities. All
enrolment forms must be in
by Monday, June %, in order
to give the committee in charge
time to arrange a class sched-
ule. Those who enroll will be
notified regarding the time OF
the class in which they have
been placed.
The season will be c1imaxed
by a water carnival late in Au-
gust, when boys and girls will
have an opportunity to show
what they have learned during
the summer.
The Red Cross courses en-
phaSize safety in the water as
well as giving the best possible
instruction in swimming.
It is expected that the larg-
est enrolment will be among
non-swimmers and those who
can swim only a little. Glasses
for more advanced swimmers
are also being planned. Miss
Riebeth will be qualified to
teach Red Cross 1ife-saving
when she returns from Wildcat
lake.

Up and
DOUn
the Street

Come on kids-get in the
swimI And learn how to do it
right!
Use, the pool is goin0 to open
June Is, as you will note by a
story elsewhere in this paper,
and we're going to have a quail
flied Red Cross instructor to
teach you not only how to
swim, but how to be safe in
the water.
Don't think you won't learn
and fast. And for those of you
who already know a little or
a lot about swimming, the Red
Cross program has a lot to of
fer too.
We're tickled to death about
the whole thing, and well do
We remember the swimming in
Struction we got as a kid in
Lincoln, Nebr. Our wind Ito say
nothing of our appearance in a
bathing suit certainly isn't
what it used to be, but thanks
to very thorough early training
we can still get around in the
water with confidence and ease
though we aren't saying too
much about our grace or speed,
The point we are trying to
make is this. You never forget
a lot of what you learn in a
Red Cross course. Most college
instructors have had this train
ing. And take it from us, you
can have a lot more fun in the
water when you know how to
handle yourself, and the few
fundamental rules of safety. 1t
gives you a lot of confidence. I
The city dads deserve a lot
of credit for agreeing to open
the pool and hiring the life
guards. The Red Cross chapter
is paying for special instruction
