Bowling Alleys to
Open at Center
In Near Future

Work on the Big Horn Coun-
ty Community Center is pro-
crossing very satisfactorily and
in a very short time will be
completed, Ed Kuehn, manager,
announced this week.
! Plans for the formal opening
are being prepared now and
complete details will be an.
nounced next week. .@ssa ~
Kuehn said this project
would do justice to a town
many times the size of Hardin.
The fact is, there is nothing in
the whole state that will COM
pare with it. It will provide rec
reation and entertainment for
the entire family, young and
old"
The equipment being INSTALL
ed is the best that could be OBJ
tanned. There are six complete
bowling alleys, five pool tables
and a complete fountain and
snack bar. In addition, in the
spacious lobby there will be a
lounge, plenty of reading ma
terial, a radio and other music
and a large selection of games
for young and old, including
two ,ping-pong tables, Kuehn
said.
eff anything has been left
out, suggestions will be well
coined and If possible more and
more items will be added" he
explained.
The management plans to
open the alleys evenings begin
ming probably Thursday of this
week. This is being done to
condition the alleys, which
have been laid for several days.
Daytime use is prohibited due
to the fact that carpenters and
plumbers are still working:
Watch next weeks paper for
the announcement of the form
al opening and then come out
and see and enjoy one of the
finest projects that this COM
munity has ever had" the
manager concluded.

Army Cutworr1ls
Discovered
In Local Fields

Army cutworms have been
discovered in winter wheat
fields southwest of Hardin, ac-
cording to N. A. Jacobsen, coun-
ty extension agent.
Prior to the recent snow
storm these insects were found
and correctly identified, the
agent said. As soon as the pre-
sent snow melts, the worms
may resume activity and fur
ther damage may be notice
able.
Army worms can be recogniz-
ed by their dark green color with
two narrow white stripes down
the back. At present they are
about one inch long, but when
full grown will be nearly two
inches in length.
They feed above the ground
on stems and leaves of wheat.
InfeStationS at present seem
to be confined to bare ridges
near stubble fields. Later on
they may "gang up" and take
all vegetation as they go, in
regular army fashion.
Best control measure is a toX-
aphene spray at the rate of two
pounds of technical material
per acre, Jacobsen said. Chlor-
dane is. not recommended at
this time because there is no
information as to its effective
ness on armv worms.
GrasShopDer bait is also eff
fective if SDread where the
worms are working and just
ahead of their line of march.
A deep furrow ploWed with the
vertical edge toward the side of
the field to be protected is
a good place to scatter bait.
Worms will then fall into the
furrow and be forced to feed on
bait, he said.
Any control method used
should be applied toward even
ing, as army worms are noe
turnal feeders, the agent pointed
out. ~.

To Continue Effort
For Yellowtdil Dam

Answering an inquiry of a
local resident, Senator James
E. Murray recently said an eff
fort will be made to get yell
1oWtail dam approved in spite
of .disapproval by the Budget
Bureau.
Murray's letter said, in part:
"The Budget Bureau has again
refused to consider construc-
ton funds for the YelloWtail
dam.
! FThose of us who favor con-
s%truction of the dam will make
another effort to get the item
approved in spite of the Budget
Bureaus diSapproval. Frankly,
in view of the current economy
wave, it is doubtful whether
the House of Representatives
will take favorable action, but
we are hopeful for progress in
the Senate"

Euster Seals Help
Neglected Group.
Chapter Head Says

"The most neglected group
of handicapped children is the
group afflicted with cerebral
palsy.
Desperately in need of assis-
lance are more than TOO cere-
bral palSied children in Monta-
ma" George E. Smell, president
of the Montana chapter of the
National Society for Crippled
Children and Adults, said in
making a direct appeal to Mon
tana residents for their support
of the 1850 Easter seal drive.
Smell pointed out that GIT
per cent of funds derived
through sale of seals sent last
week to Montana homes will
support activities within the
state for education and treat
ment of handicapped children.
The fourth annual seal sale,
for which the chapter has set
a goal Of $65, ZOO, will continue
through Easter Sunday.
Because MANY people are I'M
aware of the true nature of
cerebral palsy, Herbert J. Bor-
ebert, executive director of the
Montana chapter, points out
that cerebral palsy is a condi-
ton which is caused by an in
jury to that part of the brain
which controls the motions of
an individual.
San afflicted child may not
be able to walk, talk or use
his hands well enough to feed
or dress himself"
Muscles of the spastic are
tense and tight, and free mo-
ton is frequently impossible,
while the athetoid's arms. legs
and sometimes his head, are in
constant uncontrolled motion,
Borchert explained.
In rigidity the muscles have
lost their elasticity and the
motion of joints is blocked, he
continued.
"a fourth type is the ataxic
where there is a loss of the
sense of relation to space, which
makes controlled motion and
balance impossible. 49,
Finally, he said, "a tremor
is characterized by involuntary
rythmical motion in one or more
joints.
CONTRARY to common belief,
70 per cent of all cerebral pal
sled have normal intelligence"
Borchert declared.
1.-THE condition may occur in
any family, regardless of where
they live, or what their social
or financial status may be-"
