They know that the only way to
get lower taxes and keep the

Congress must take the lead

Park Theater To
Abandon Tues.
Wed. Programs

Effective next week the Park
Theater will abandon temporar-
lily the Tuesday and Wednesday
shows, it is announced by Jim
Leadbetter, manager.
Restoration of the old schedule
will be made in the sprin g
when weather conditions and a
more encouraging economy will
prevail to justify it, Leadbetter
said. T h e abrupt decrease of
patronage recently, he said, has
made necessary the temporary
weekly schedule.
In the temporary schedule, the
usual Thursday program will be
incorporated with tn e ones of
Friday and Saturday.
Aside from t h e Sunday pro-
gram, which as of heretofore,
will be from Z to 9 and from 9 to
II, other programs temporarily
will be from 8 to 10. In OF h e r
words, there will be only one pro-
gram on the week days.
The programs of the immediate
future will be as follows:
Friday and Saturday, Jan. 13
and 14-Myrnia 10y and Robert
Mitchum in 1.-The Red Pony"
Sunday and Monday, Jan. Is
and 16-Richard Widmark a n d
Lionel Barrymore in Down To
The Sea In Ships"
Thursday, Friday and Satur-
d ay, Jan. 10, 20 and 21-Kirk
Douglas and Marilyn Maxwell in
The Champion"
The usual fascinating shorts,
news and minor features of the
present programs will be offered.
In making the change, Lead
better said, it was necessary to
cancel some fine features that
had been booked. However, those
that fit into the new schedule are
excellent ones.
A prepared schedule that was
ready for release early this week
as the result of the new schedule
had to be withdrawn. A new one
including the programs listed in
the above is being prepared.

Atty. Gen. Olson
Gives Opinion
Bonding Dist. 9

The possibility of building ad-
dltlonal space to house the rapid
ly growing Browning hool
population received an impetus
this week when County Attorney
Dan WEIGH had an opinion from
Arnold H. Olson, attorney gen.
eral of Montana, relative to the
procedures to be followed in max
ing bond issue to cover the high
school district.
There had been some concern
that such a bond issue, if ap-
proved by the several elementary
districts which would make up
the h g h school district, would
make it impossible for these ele-
mentary districts to construct
buildings later on in their own
districts as these might become
needed.
Attorney General Olson has
ruled that the financial statement
upon which the bond issue is
based covers the value of the
property within the high school
building district without ref
erence to Indebtedness of the
component common school dis
tricts." Accordingly, if Browning
or Babb or Blackfoot or Glacier
Park or Old Agency should later
on discover that a bond issue was
needed for the purpose of build
ing an elementary school within
any of these districts, the f act
that the elementary district was
included in the valuation behind
the high school bond levy would
not interfere with another bond
issue for elementary. school pur-
poses.
The trustees of School District
No. 9 have a k e n the position
that the building of additional
high school space in Browning
is entirely matter for the voters
to decide. Petition will be cir
culated by interested persons, and
it is anticipated that the proposal
can be voted upon at the regular
school election in April. Thus,
saving the expense of special
election.
Voting on bond issues is limit
ed to property registered voters
in the several school districts,
whose names appear on the last
completed tax roll of the county.
1t is estimated that there are
about 600 such voters in the five
school districts which compose
the western Glacier County high
school district.
1t is estimated t h a t 100000
will be needed to properly house
the high school. This anticipates
that a considerable part of the
present elementary school build
ing would still be used for high
school purposes. The first ques-
ton the taxpayer asks himself is:
"How much will such a bond
issue cost me?' Some figuring by
John Gilbert, J. L. Sherburne
and w. R. Mcdonald, who are
familiar with real estate values
and tax levies, give the following
approximation:
The valuation of t h e enlarged
high school district can be ex-
pected to re m a n close to
Sc, 0O0,0 600. AS taxes are paid on
only about 80 per cent assessed
valuations, $500, 900 is about
the basis upon which the bonds
would be paid. Assuming that
$780, 900 is the amount required

Preemptive, or shut out opening
bids are usually difficult to con-
test. When employed intelligently,
this type Of bid is very useful, and
frequently quite disconcerting to
opponents.
Opening Three Bids
The opening bid of three in q
minor suit, is not a very effective
shutout because it is not high
enough bid. Care must be taken
not to shut out partner If 1t is he,
instead of opponents. who has the
game-going cards.
The danger is not very great
when the three-bid is made in a
major suit. If partner is strong,
contract of four in the major
will likely offer as good a play
for game as would three no trump.
A minor suit three-bid, however,
may confront partner with q sheer
guess; and he win have no time
to explore the possibilities Of differ

ent contracts, and still stay below
The requirements for an opening
suit bid are; A long, strong trump
suit Of at least six and usually
seven cards; and at least seven
winners if vulnerable, and at least
six winners If not invulnerable.
Whereas. any sort of long trump
suit will do for major suit three
bid (for example. a seven card suit
like Q. 10. 9. 8, 6. .. ~, minor
suit three-bid should not be made
without two of the three top cards
in the trump suit.
Then If partner has one of the
three top honors in the minor
suit, he can count on running the
entire suit. six or seven winners,
at no trump.

minor suit. three-bid may be
made on a suit lacking the top
cards. Partner having passed, will
not be strong enough to bid three
no trump; and the three-bid may
be valuable in keeping opponents
out OF their best contract.
An opening three-bid shows a
weak hand and is usually passed.
1t does not ask the responder to
pass; the three-bidder. being hui
man, hopes his partner will be
strong enough to bid. But the re-
sponder seldom holds either the
concentration of honor-tricl<s or
the perfect fit that would warrant
his bidding over such weakness as
the opening three-bid announces
