RippHng
of the Rivers

President Truman has recent
ly predicted that by the year
1000, based on a projection of
the growth of the past SO
years, this country would have
a national income of a, trillion
dollars, and every worker would
be making at least $4,000 per
year.
That sounds rosy, but James
A. Farley, one-time big wheel
in the New Deal, did a little
figuring on his own and came
up with the following: =
He contends that based on
the record of the past so
years, Federal spending and
employment are both likely to
increase at a much faster rate
than national income. However,
d~isregarding the possibility of
a faster rate of increase, MI.
Farley found that, eff we take
the cost of government for 1900
and compare it with the cost
of government for 1850 and
then figure the same rate of
increase for the next so years,
our government lin the year
2000) would cost six trillion
dollars, or six times as much as
the whole national income.
ION the same basis we would
have working for the Federal
government Tin the wear 10000
20 million men and women. The
lesson of these simple figures"
Mr.. Farley adds "is that I'M
less we find some way to reduce
the cost of government it will
soon grow SO great as to con-
sumo not only everything We
all own but everything we have
all saved, everything that we
call property which is owned by
all of u.s..
Attesting the growth and &C
tivity of Hardin and Big Horn
county is the fact that the Har-
din Auto company sold more
new Ford cars during the
month of February this year
than any other Ford dealer in
the state, with the exception of
two dealers in much larger ci-
ties.
According to records in the
office of the Registrar of Mo-
tor Vehicles at Deer Lodge,
only dealers in Billings and
Great Falls exceeded Hardin
Auto company in the sales of
new cars during that month.
Hank Ruegamer, Hardin Auto
company owner, may be a good
salesman, but we suspect he
couldn't have hung up such a
record If he weren't situated
in such a prosperous and in
duStriouS community.
-
All of the new construction
in progress in the business dis
trict of Hardin is going to
change the looks of the town
considerably.
What we would like to see
now is sidewalks completed to
full width in a number of plac-
eS on Center avenue, and other
places where there is now only
mud.

Third Of Seafaiir's
Queen Contestants
We're scandinavian

The main Scandinavian organi-
cations failed to come along on
Greater Seattle's Seafair bandwa-
gon this year. but a number of
Scandinavian American girls were
chosen as queen contestants by va
riOus organizations.
Bert Holmboe topped the list
as the entry of the Norwegian
Commercial Club. Other charm
ing girls were Barbara Erickson,
Seattle Summer Opera Company;
Doris Ashervik, American Legion;
Barbara Curtis, Post No. /, Amer
lean Legion; Ruth Andersen, Raj
nier District Business Mems Club;
Carol Wollesen, National Secreta-
ries Association; CARMEL a Solo
mon. Ballard Business and Profess
sional Womens Club, and Betty
Lou Lenz, Pacific Northwest Arts
and Artists Center.
In fact, over one-third of the
contestants q out of 1Sl were OF
scandinavian origin. This could
be taken to mean that either the
Scandinavian girls stand out as
particularly pretty and deserving
or else that the Scandinavian pop
ulation is so large in general that
the ratio of Scandinavian Ameri-
can entrants as compared to 9TH
ers in the contest was virtually in
evitable.

We are happy to state that Mr. Wlli

This made the office and all con-

knew quite well that to make an in

took some restless nights, some earn
est prayers and some hard work,
therefore, congratulations were eX-
tended to Mr.. Edwards and his mem
bers for this great increase.
AT the end of 1948, Mr.. Edwards
and his followers had made another

We are happy to enter the name
of another outstanding hero through

was formerly headed by the late Mr..
c. III. Mayfield. In 1910, MIR. May

and his n1e-abeg8 pslt On Q great
membership orlve ana brought the
membership up to 81 az the end Of

two years. At the end OF 1914, the
lodge reported a membership of SO,
which meant a gain of 2. In 1916,
two years later, the lodge jumped
from SO to los, which meant a gain
of 10. During this period, Mrs c.
M. Navfield, the widow of Mr. C..
M. Mavfield was elected president
of Thu lodge. Because of the Illness

spent . Dot of tire ct the bedside Of
her son. and the lodge began to SUI
fer decrease in membership. In
1948. Mrs. Mayfield reported total
membership of 80, which meant a
loss Of IS members III two years.
In June, 1949, Mr.. VIM. Kinslow,
our Agent in that section of the
state. visited Lodge No 288 and say
the conditions that existed. He
transferred Mr.. Ace Evans, who held
membership in Lodge No. 1870 to
Lodge No 1888, and he was elected
President. When he took this office
as local president the lodge had
membership of IS financial members.
We are happy to state that Mr.. Evans
has brought the membership up from
IS in June, 1949, to 90 as of now,
This means an increase of 80, in a
little better than one year.
Congratulations, Mr.. Evans, for
this outstanding work that you are
doing. You are showing to all con-
cerned that Mr.. Kinslow knew what
he was doing when he transferred
you from 100 to Lodge 288, to man

Of reporting 60 members as 1t had
done at the end of 1912, it jumped to
an all time total of 75 This meant
an increase of IS mem bers in two

tained a loss Of one member and the
