Speaker Urges
Cooperation
Toward Peace

Using the battle of the Little
Big Horn as an example, 1t.
Col. Gordon K. Hazeltine urged
all citizens to work together for
peace in his talk at Memorial
Day services at Custer Battle
field Naional Monument last
Tuesday.
A division of forces in a mil
tary sense is sometimes bad
judgement, the speaker said.
and likewise in civilian life may
produce infavorable results.
1t. Col. Hazeltine recon-
mended a strong military force
for the protection of this coun-
try and as security for peace
He paid tribute to men of Big
Horn county who were lost in
his country'S wars and eX-
pressed the hope that the
country'S young men would new
er be called upon to sacrifice
lives in a war in the present
atomic age.
The speaker was introduced
by Carl Sloan. W. L. Torske
commander of American Legion
post No. 8, was in charge 81
the program; invocation vas by
the Rev. C. A. Bentley, and toe
Hardin high school band, under
the direction of Frank Solazzi
furnished music for the pro-
gram. Capt. E. S. Luce, super
intendent of the battlefield
gave the address of welcome
The Memorial salute was by
Legion post No. 116 Of Lodge
Grass.
The program followed a pa
rade in Hardin and ceremonie:
at the Little Big Horn bridge
at Crow Agency in honor o!
those lost at sea.

Daniels Reports
Some Work
Slated This Yedr

At a general meeting of the
Big Horn County Chamber of
Commerce held last night in
the Community room of the
county courthouse, Big Horn
county's 1850 highway program
and airport planning were dis
cuSSed.
In speaking of this highway
program, George Daniels stated
that he had received a long
distance call the end of last
week from the State Highway
Cor miSsion confirming the
placing of highway No. At into
the schedule for construction
this year.
While he was not informed
at this time just how much
construction would be done on
this road, the fact that No. At
has been put back into the
states schedule for work this
year is to be considered a vic
tory for the residents of Big
Horn county because, Daniels
stated, after the last work done
on this road in 1945, it was
completely taken off the states
work sheets.
With the announcement of
work to be done on No. At,
there is now a five-road pro-
gram in Big Horn county for
1850.
On highway No. 81, which,
Daniels said, is in the states
road program for work done on
it every year, the 81 miles of
hard surface road being added
to the 10 miles of new road con-
structed last year from the
state line to Wyola, will be
completed for travel this fall
and seal-coated next spring;
and bridges between Hardin
and Billings are being widened
as a safety measure.

Soring body for the Camp Fire

beads to be given out during
the summer ceremonies to
girls who have earned them.
The Camp Fire council selec-
ted a list of books which would
be helpful to leaders, it was
stated, and the Big Horn coun-
ty library has ordered several
of them. Leaders may check
them out at any time.
Plans for Camp Fire and
Blue Bird participation in the
Memorial day parade were also
made.
The council has been in
formed that a Camp Fire ex-
ecutive will be able to visit
Hardin during July, Mrs. Mar
tin said. The leaders were I'M
animous in urging that she be
invited to hold a leaders train
ing school. Dates for these
training sessions will be an

ed is invited to attend.

across the road from the farm
which my father owned and
where I worked as a boy.
II can remember SO well Mr..
McCafferty coming over when
we were putting up hay and

"He and I sit side by side in
the Senate and therefore ]
have been privileged to be-
come well acquainted with him.
He is a wonderfully intelligent
and honest public servant, and
I will always believe he should
be President of the United
