OF BROADCAST|NG
SPORTS IS DESCRIBED

The trials, tribulations and
tricks of a sports announcer were
brought into the open Wednesday
when Bob Mccain, sports an
nouncer for KBMY, Billings, adj
dressed the Laurel Kiwanis club.
The sports announcer, McCann
said, sits and tells about what he
sees. The difficulty involved is
in describing what he sees in
such a manner that the listener
will be able to follow the action
and feel that he too is attending
the event. Whereas many people
speaking before an audience at
tempt to achieve a variety of
phrasing that will keep the list
ner interested, he stated that he
attempted to confine himself to
a certain number of terms and
expressions and thereby make it
easier for the radio audience to
follow the game being described.
There is considerable nervous
strain in keeping up a line of
chatter, he said. A spectator at
an event can follow the minor
action on the field, but the
sports-caster must use incidental
talk to replace that visual con-
tact. If only major moves were
described, the listener would soon
lose interest.
Mccain also told of some of
the tricks used to make the re-
creation of a game sound as
though the announcer were actu-
ally attending the event. The
man doing the recreation must
use sound effects and his own
knowledge Of the sport to supply
the illusion which adds so much
to the listeners pleasure. In the
KBMY studios the sound of a
baseball being hit is produced by
striking a piece of pine with a
sawed-off handle of a golf club.
The sound of a foul ball striking
d DiOduSdSllliS DOOJil ID liulIdOcu
by dropping a rubber ball on the
floor. Crowd noises are repro
duced from recordings previously
made at athletic events.
The information for the re-
creation of a sports event is sup
piled by telegraph service which
gives only the essential descrip-
of the game. At the stage
of r~ecreating the game the an
nouncer must be able to supply,
through his own knowledge of the
game, the missing details. With
out these details the listener
would feel that he was missing
much.
In comparing the difficulty of
0roadcasting various sports
events, Mccain classed hockey as
fastest moving and hence
most difficult sport to follow,
baseball being given second place.

Dog Wins New
HOnOrs At Retriever
Trials In Wisconsin

Cresta Chip, a beautiful Golden
Retriever owned by Mr.. and Mrs.
Robert C. Head of Laurel, won
new honors June IL and IL at
the Tri-State Hunting Dog as
sociation's trials at Winona,
MINI. Besides being the Open All
Age winner, in which there were
40 starters, Cresta Chip drew a
fine write-up in Field Trial News,
the official publication of the
Wisconsin Amateur Field Trial
club.
Field Trial News said:
"To quote Bart Fister, "a golden
bombshell named Cresta Chip
came from the west, u~nheralded
and unknown to midwestern re-
triever fanciers, and teamed with
his amateur owner, trainer and
handler, Bob Head of Laurel,
Mont, to produce a dazzling dis
play of perfection in retriever
work throughout six gruelling
series under extremely hot, dry
weather of the Open All Age
stake in the first annual licensed
retriever trial of the Tri-State
Hunting Dog association of Wi
mona, Mimi, and held at Prairie
Island field trial grounds. De-
spite extreme heat, the Golden
Retriever Cresta Chip was out
standing in drive, consistency and
style, and smashed the water as
seldom seen at a trial. Cooper
alton between handler and dog
was very outstanding throughout
the trial.
ITO your editor, Chips win
was not a surprise. We had
seen the three-year-old son of
Sunset King ex Penny at three
far-western trials. His second
at Helena and third at Billings
last fall, plus a third at Missoula
this spring presaged things to
come. The win was a popular
one and with it comes national
qualification and, according to
our records, brings him within
one-half point of his field trial
championship. This, we predict,
will be shortly attained. Our con-

AutOmOtive Taxes
More Than Doubled
In 1O-Year Period

AS now confirmed by the final
and official figures of the public
roads administration, the motor
vehicle owners of America last
year paid the highest special tax
in history. This is true both as
regards the amounts paid to the
states and to the federal govern
ment. Special automotive taxes
in 1913 totaled approximately 49,
272, 100000 which is I'VE Is per
cent higher than in 1947.
Tht following tabulation shows
how the trend of automotive
taxes has been climbing steadily
during the past decade, except
for a slight temporary Interrupt
ton due to wartime curtailment
of motor vehicle use:

Gov. BONNER SEES
GOLDEN DAYS AHEAD

Gov. John w. Bonner, speaking
before the Laurel Rotary club
Tuesday, described the new home
for the aged to be constructed by
the state as one of the great
humanitarian efforts of the peo-
pie of Montana. In reviewing con-
struction to be carried out in
Montana during the next year,
he mentioned the work to be done
at Warm Springs, at Galen, and
the Pioneer Memorial building in
Helena.
The state Legislature appropri-
ated sufficient funds for use at
Warm Springs, he said, to pro-
vide proper diets for the patients
there. There is now, the COVER
nor continued, enough money
available to make Warm Springs
a superior institution. He also
predicted that by using the state
and federal appropriations in the
amount of $1,500,O00 which have
been marked for Galen that the
sanitarium there would become
one of the outstanding among
such institutions in the United
States. In referring to the Pho
Memorial building, Governor
Bonner stated that the plans for
the building have been approved
and that it is hoped that con
will be started this
year.
He also discussed the campaign
to raise funds for the purchase of
the Charles Russell paintings
that now hang in the Mint in
Great Falls. He said the cam
paign is continuing and that ne
is to confer with campaign Of
ficers in the near future.
Speaking of the state as a
the governor said: "Some-
thing is going on in Montana;
you can feel the pulse. The peo-
pie are bubbling with enthusi-
asm." He stressed the communi-
~ spirit he has found to prevail
the state; the realization of
he people that what is good for
one part of Montana profits all
If Montana. In this line he
mentioned the appropriations of
he state highway commission
md the oil refinery recently con-
,tructed at Billings by the Carter
Dill company. In connection with
his latter reference he said that
t indicated the fallacy of the
that it is impossible
get business to come to Mon
ana. an my opinion" said the
governor, "the golden days of
Montana lie ahead"
Bonner then turned to the re-
between Montana and it's
ieighboring provinces to the
.orth, and of the U. S.-Canadian
Citations as a whole. He cited
he peaceful history Of the Unit
d States and Canada in their
.ealings with each other as proof
hat two nations can live together
n peace.

Mitchell, secretary of state,

was given Saturday night at

a dead duck by this time. How
ever it was so thoroughly enjoy
ed by all, and was SO definitely a
success, that the Committee
chairmen wanted everyone who
didn't attend and therefore did
not know about it, to hear about
it now, so that they won't miss

Whether it was Raul's charm
ing decorations-the chandelier
with green, yellow and red globes,
the red awning backdrop for the
orchestra, or the Orchestra itself
that set the mood, we don't know,
but everyone was in high fettle,
and seemed to enjoy every
minute of the party. 1t lasted into
the wee small hours with just a
few people sarting the exodus at
200 a. m.
The Debonairs gave out with
wonderful Dance music, and our
own Gerald Pinder took a turn
at the trap Drums and few more
instruments. Whether it's because
of thus varied experience as USO

Venice Has
Pigeon Dispute

VENICE-(P)-Venice is stirred
up about the municipal action
against pigeons of st. Marks
Square, beloved alike by tourists
and Venetians. Their daily ration
of IS pounds of city corn, the
town council has decided, will be
cut down to % pounds.
The city's fine arts division
also stated that the pigeons were
spelling the roofs of st. Marks
basilica and has put sharp steel
edges on one of the favorite rest-
ing places.
1t is calculated here that the
pigeons Venetian landmark
number about 1000. Since the
war many have become ac-
customed to seek their food else
where and do not rely entirely
on municipal corn. Kind Nene-
tons who love the pigeons put
food for them in their gardens or
on window stills.
Prote SITS are coming from
pigeon lovers against the sane
tions" imposed by the city fathers.
"Gazzenttino Sera' published an
angry letter from a Venetian,
against this inhuman treatment
to the symbols of peace" But the
own council has not budged. The
pigeons will get short rations
from now on.
