Montana farmer-stockman., 1949-02-01

Loan possibilities under the CT bill were
thoroughly explored but they found most
banks weren't interested in the long-term
loan that would be necessary. The only way
out was for Dave to take advantage of an
offer made by his father to lend him $4,000
on a pay-back-as-you-can basis.
With this money, he wen to the offices
of the farm home administration and was
able to assume the balance on a long-term
repayment plan $40 years., with payments
varying according to income. We might add
here that this help from the FILA doesn't
stop possibilities for future operating loans
through the CT bill, and such loans could
be obtained easily now that the farm is
established and operating.
Farm Found
The farm itself had the standard project
buildings, including a small t~hree-bedroom
house, barn, double garage and sheds. REA
lines furnished electricity, and eventual
plans are for a pressure water system and
inside plumbing. Dave, Fannie, Terry and
baby Karen moved onto the farm just two
years ago in the fall Of 1916.
They arrived with a secondhand pickup
truck and one cow. In this first year they
bought a tractor, a new pickup truck and
u cows. To finance these operating ex-
penses, a loan was obtained through the
FILA and was repaid from the first years
income. Self-employment checks were also
drawn from the veterans administration up

Snow Plows to Keep
Roads to Aspen's
Ski Slopes Open

DENVER, Dec. 10.-With early
SHOWS already hitting the highest
of Colorado's "a sports areas, the
Rocky Mountain State is prepar-
ing for q record year of skiing
spanked by anticipation OF the
l. 1850 world ski championship AL
pine events slated for Aspen.
Colorado snow slopes will take
on an international flavor as early
as January, when many OF the 81
Federation Internationale de SKI
member nations will send their
mems and Women's doWnhill and
slalom squads to Colorado for
/ training prior to the world races
February 1919.
Aspen will be easily accessible
by car not only during champion
ship week, but all winter long
Mark U. Watrous, State highway
engineer, says Colorado will spend
up to $5O0,O00 keeping its famous
mountain roads open and clear, no
matter what depths the snow
reaches.
Twenty years ago there were no
open roads over the mountains
Now the State keeps II passes
clear on a 24-hour basis with II
huge rotary snow plows.
The Aspen championships are
sponsored by the Federation In

the ranches are open for business

Many of the dude ranches are
located in the Lucerne Valley and
Victorville area, about three hours
drive from Hollywood via scenic
Cajon Pass.
This is the Mojave Desert, which
is known as the "air conditioner
desert because of its year ar-around
climate. Being high, around 5000
feet, it Is not uncomfortably hot
in summer as some other areas OF
desert are, and it is mild in win
ter. This area is a large plateau
nesting in the foothills of the San
Bernardino Mountains, which rise
to 10000 feet and hold a chain OF
pretty. pine-bordered recreational
lakes, reached by handy paved
roads from the dude ranch
country.

of Hollywood. And they're open

The All-Year Club Of Southern

Hollywood is north Of, and
toward the ocean. from Central

Ample Accommodations Available This Winter
At dude Ranches in Southwest and California
Spseioi pispoteh TO The Stor


WICKENBURG, Ariz., Dec. 10.
If you are one of those lucky
people who are able to take q
winter vacation at a Western dude
ranch, you're luckier than ever
this year. For word has just ar
rived from Arizona, New Mexico
and California that dude ranch
accommodations are more avail
able this winter season than ut
any time since the war.
1t is still a good idea to make
reservations in advance to get the
best choice. However. In any
event, these States say visitors
this year will find accommoda-
tions quite ample"
And what's more. you don't
have to be a millionaire to enjoy
ranch life. Rates at dude ranches
vary, as they do in hotels across
the country, but they start as low
as S65 per week.
Casual Design for Living.
Ranch life is strictly informal.
No need to worry about fancy
clothes, nor having to dress for
dinner. You don't need an auto
mobile, and you don't have to
worry about keeping up with the
Joneses because the Joneses are
attired in comfortable blue jeans
and plaid shirts. They. too. take
advantage Of about as casual a
design for living to be found.
What is there to do? Well,
horseback riding probably takes
top booking on the list of favorite
recreations among dudes. Riding
is popular because of the oppor-
tunities it provides for seeing the
country in the rugged Western
wonderland.
But. if you're allergic to saddles,
you can try your luck at horse
shoes. pitch blanket on the
ground and experience a desert or
mountain picnic, go hiking. play
tennis, swim or simply sun bathe.
Perhaps just plain loafing is pre-
ferred. Then there's no better
place to enjoy freedom from
worry and work than on a West
ern dude ranch. For they are de-
signed for 'roughing it" in COM
fort.
After a few days in such en-
vironment. "manana" comes to
the vacationer. He discovers ne
can relax to the point CT doing
nothing for days at a time-and
have wonderful time. too.
The winter season for dude
ranches in California. New Mexico
and Arizona is on now. Arizona's
season began in mid-Noye.nber
and continues to May /.

OnIv II of 772 National Marks
Now Belong to D. &. BowIers
By Ben McAIwee

Washington men and women
bowlers now own only II OF the
112 national duckpin marks, &C
cording to the latest National
Duckpin Bowling Congress record
book just off the press, and two
of these are musty holdovers be-
longing to Astor Clarke. former
Capital pinspilling great who has
bowled little since moving to Flor
ida eight years ago.
These few records are a Tar
cry from a decade ago when Dis
trict rollers held more than so
per cent of the national marks.
Now Baltimore dominates with
46 and Connecticut boasts %,
while the remainder are shared
by Richmond, Norfolk and North
Carolina bowlers. -
Two Made Out of Town.
The last Capital record to gain
a place in this informative book,
which has grown to 435 pages
and is edited by Arville L. Eber-
sole. executive-secretary Of the
congress, was the 1877 team game
rolled by Winchester Packard In
the Major District League at
Greenway a year ago.
Both Of Clarke's records were
made on out-of-town drives some
500 miles apart. His 20-game
2,757 count was established in
Woonsocket, r. l., and Hartford
Conn.,, in 1884 while on d New
England tour with tho then IA
nous Occidental Restaurant team
Clarke's other mark, 1872 for five
games, was posted In Richmond
Va, in 1941.
Another old Washington mark
Is the 80 consecutive game streak
made In 1884 by the Frank s
Tavern team in the Northeast
Temple Minor League. Ed Heller
Bill Greiner and the three Vieh-
meyer brothers, Harry, Frank and
Norman, were the bowlers who
went II straight weeks without
losing game. The same year, The

defeating a Baltimore team in q
