Hiya NeighbOr-Over the back
fence seems like fitting and
proper place to sing few praises
this morning, praises for the men,
bers of the local S. p. E. B. S. O..
S. A. whose Parade of Quartets
last Thursday evening was enthu-
siastically received by capacity
audience in the high school. Bar
bershop harmony was certainly
at it's melodious best and the more
than two hour show was thorough
ly enjoyed by every one there as
was evidenced by the prolonged
applause following each number
applause that brought back the
entertainers for encore after en-
core.
Represented in the Parade were
the Chordinators, of Sandusky,
the Hilltoppers, of Cleveland, The
Marksmen, of Toledo, Hi-Chords
and the Steel Blenders, of Lorain,
the Toledo Troubadors and Port
Clinton's Harbor Lights and Clin-
tonaires.
Sid Lynn, member of the Steel
Blenders quartet, acted as master
of ceremonies and his ready wit
and genial personality did much
to set the tempo Of the evening.
Perhaps we should say his "en-
thusiastic enthusiasm" permeated
the audience to the extent that
when it came time for the COM
munity sing at intermission he
had the members of the audience
singing Justify and feeling as if
they were true barbershop har-
monizers.
We were particularly proud of
our local barbershoppers, The
Clintonaires and Harbor Lights as
well as the complete chorus. They
have made remarkable progress
during the year they've been or
ganized and, who knows, we may
have a state or even national
champion quartet from the
group sometime in the future.
Harold Reitz deserves much credit
for his capable direction of the
chorus.
1t would be difficult to say which
of the quartets we enjoyed the
most, all were outstandingly good,
but for comedy the orchids must
certainly go to the Hi-Chords, of
Bcrain. Their comedy numbers
kept the audience laughing from
the moment they set foot on the
stage wearing their outlandish
costumes and clowning their
songs.
The local barbershoppers can
well be proud of their first Par
ade, they had a large and appre-
ciative audience, a wealth of ex-
: cellent harmony, and can feel Sc
cure in the knowledge that they
put on a first rate show.

NATIONAL LOBBYING

WASHINGTON, d. C.-Congres
sional lobbyists spent as much the
first nine months of 1949, according
TO a tabulation by Congressional
Quarterly as they reported spend
ing all of 1948.
Final reports on 1949 lobby
expenditures will not be avail
able, until early in 1950-but
reports so far filed show nine
month expenditures totaling &c.
1925 by 331 organizations or
individuals.
The total for 1913 was $6,763,48O
nv 222 organizations.
For 1947, the total years report
cd expenditures were $5,191 1856.
These reports are far from com
nlete. A Congressional Lobby In

norted finding violations Of the lobby

Of late the anti-CVA'rs have re-

Governor Bonner, as a result of his
attendance at an interagency meet
ing in Bismark a couple of months
ago, had it forcefully brought home
to him just how serious the situation
is under Pick-Sloan for Montana s
future. Since that time he has let it
be known that Montana will fight
every attempt to deprive the state and
its people of its equitable share of
the water and power resources of the
Missouri.
Immediately upon returning from
Bismark, the Governor requested that
Col. Locke prepare for him a sur
vey of what Montana will receive
in water and power under the Pick
Sloan Plan, as contrasted with the
states actual potential in water and
power development should full scale
development of these resources be
undertaken and consummated.

M0NTANA'S EIGHT HOUR LAW

work beyond eight hours. Section 5
of Article XVIII provides that the

While the legislature has provided
that it is misdemeanor to work over
eight hours in certain specified pur-

hour provision of the constitution the
legislature has failed to provide that
it is a criminal offense to work more
than eight hours per day.

LUCID SUGGESTS briggs STUDY DEPOSITION BY
FOSTER TO JURY, In MEDIMA'S COURT

by the summation speech by Gene
Dennis.
Naturally our Communist Party
of Montana is extremely proud of
the principled and vigorous defense
by our leadership and the membership
as a whole. We urge that all Amer
leans, irrespective of political party,
fight with us to obtain a reversal of
this verdict. That it can be reversed
is shown by the decisions in the state
of Maryland regarding the Ober Act,
and the victory in New York in the
against the Feinberg law.
To characterize the type of politi-
cal thinking shown by Mr.. briggs,
this "marxist" who so bitterly at
tacks the Communist Party, we quote
the following from a speech by
George Dimitrov on the united front
against war and fascism:
There are wiseacres who will
sense in all this a depression from
our basic position, some sort of
turn to the Right in the straight
line of bolshevism. Well, in my
country they say that a hungry
chicken always dreams of millet.
Let these political chickens think
so. JACK LUCID, Chairman;
