Plans Announced
For Dance
40" 49, -
AT ST. Xavier Gym

Mrs. Frank Goe, chairman in
charge of the March of Dimes
campaign in Big Horn county
this week announced that plans
are complete for a dance to be

the school gymnasium. Sam
Nichols and his Melody Rangers,
now in Billings, have been en-
gagged to furnish music. The en-
tertainerS are Well-knoWn M. G.
NJ. recording artists.
In pointing out the desperate
need for a record 1949 March
of Dimes campaign, Mrs. Goe
said that polio care during the
last II years has become more
complex and expensive.
Before the National Founda-
ton for Infantile Paralysis was
organized in 1888, polio patients
were treated by a general ply
Sician and a nurse. But re-
search has discovered the COM
plexity of this crippling disease.
Instead of the old team-of two,
today'S victim is aided by a
medical group with as many as
eight members"
The scientific experts are the
pediatrician, orthopedist, doctor
of physical medicine, nurse,
physical therapist, occupational
therapist, medical social worker
and psychological consultant.
'"The scientific knoW-how be-
hind this polio fighting team
has been gained at great cost,
and care is expensive" the
chairman stated. "F'ew families
even those with high earning
power, can meet the expense of
polio treatment.
"It is therefore comforting
for all of us to know that our
local chapters stand ready to
underwrite all or any part of
this expense"

The Hardin Volunteer. fire de-
partment announced this week
that the drive to obtain funds
for purchase of an automatic
reSuscitator for use in this

close with nearly enough funds
now available.
The fund was started last

purchase of the resuscitator.
Since that time donations from
individuals, service clubs and
other sources have brought the
total up to near the goal.
Firemen said that a campaign

B~eefgroWer 10 Get
Supplemental
Payment for 1q48

The Holly Sugar Corporation
today announced that a supple
mental payment with respect to
1913 crop beetS would be made
on January 20 to all growers in
the Sidney, Hardin, Sheridan
and Worland factory districts.
The payment will be calculated
on a net proceeds basis of prac-
tically $500 and a weighted av-
erage sugar content for the four
factory district of 15.16%.<
T This payment, together with
the government payments made
pursuant to the Sugar Act eff
1913 will bring the total grower
receipts to date when these
payments are made, to about
SLIPS per ton or $146.25 per
acre on a thirteen ton crop.
Company officials explained
that pursuant to the terms un-
der which the sugar beetS are
purchased an initial payment is
made shortly after the sugar
beets are delivered and that adj
ditional payments are made
from time to time depending
upon market conditions and the
quantity of sugar sold. Final
payments are made after the
conclusion of the sales year
1915.
On December %, 1913 the
Secretary of Agriculture an
nounced an estimate of con-
sumption requirements of 1857
600 short tons. In connection
with this announcement he
pointed out that sugar rrices
are below those REQUIRED as a
consideration under the Act and
were below the levels prevailing
at the time of price decontrol
in 1947. The present consump-
ton estimate provides for a per
capita supply of about SO SO
pounds raw value, a figure be-
low the AVERAGE for the 5 year
period 1935-1939. Since the an
nouncement bv the Secretary o.
Agriculture prices have firmed
up and the price of refined
sugar was advanced 25c per 100
pounds on January a, 1949. This
level is still 40c per 100 pounds
below the level prevailing at
the time of price decontrol.
The 1948 crop generally has
been disappointingly low in
sugar content in the Roxy
Mountain area. Had sugar con-
tents been normal the total val
ue of the sugar beets would
have been much greater. With a
normal growing season in 1949
and continued constructive act
ion by the Secretary of Agri-
culture, company officials look
forward to the new year with
more optimism than prevailed
prior to the recent quota an
nouncement.
For the four factory districts
of Sidney, Sheridan, Hardin and
Worland, the total payments
made by the COMPANY as of
| January 20, 1919 will have
amounted to 81, 1872. 722.50 and
these payments along with the
navments by HE government of
S949,93328 will amount to a to-
tai of $4,532,f55.F 10 Had the crop
been of normal size and quality,
these amounts, all of which
would have pore into these
communities, would have been
at least twenty-five percent
greater.
