Montana Transmission Electric Co
OPP Federation for transmitting and,
if necessary, producing electric ener-
gy. The company's new rate schedule
is aimed at stopping co-operatives
from transmitting government power,
even over their own lines.
The whole purpose of this most
recent maneuver of the Montana
Power Company is to block fur
Their work on the government
transmission lines and weaken
the drive for Iow-cost power in
Montana. To the public the aston
ishing announcement of the new
rates sounds wonderful, but it
really is sugar-coating on a bitter
pill.
Since reinstatement of the money
for government self-liquidating lines
in the Interior Department appropria-
ton bill last summer, the Montana
Power Company's Mr.. j. E. Corette,
Jr vice president, has been very busy
hammering away in Washington, d.
C. and Montana on the Havre-Shelby
line now under construction. He and
his company have also been banging
away at the Bureau of Reclamation's
proposed Great Falls-Canyon Ferry
Anaconda line. The company lost
the fight in Congress last summer
after spending lots of money and time
in terrific campaign in league with
other private utilities. The monopoly,
however, has been successful in
blocking the Grow Greek section of
the Canyon Ferry-Anaconda line.
Now the company is driving against
the Havre-Shelby line on which con-
struction has started. The rate re-
duction is a last-ditch bid for public
support as a recognition, long over
due, of the imperatives of low-cost
power If the REA co-operatives ac-
cept the contract under the stipula-
tons of the new. rate schedule, the
progress toward more abundant elect
rical facilities within the means of
the people will be set back immeasur-
ably.
One Effective Way to Overcome
What do the government transmits
sion lines mean? They are the back
bone of a public power grid for this
great area, eventually giving Montana
people ample and cheap power for
home comforts and industrial and ag-
ricultural use Low-cost electrical en-
ergy is the key to Montana's future.
Low-cost electrical energy is one eff

VIII Attempt TO Form
Noble County League

An attempt will be made to
formulate plans for a siX-team
baseball league for Noble county
at meeting to be held at Stell-
fox's confectionery on Tuesday
night, March IA, at 800 o'clock.
1t IS hoped that teams can be
secured from Caldwell, Sum
merfield, Batesville, Belle VAL
lev, Sarahsville, Dexter City,
Harriettsville, or Sharon in order
to stimulate additional interest
in the sport this summer. Sew
eral communities have already
signified their willingness to
come into such a league, should
it be formed, but all should be
present or send representatives
to the meeting.
If there is any hope at all for
the formation of this league, it
should be done now and not put
off until the season opens, as
there will be several details to
work out. Consequently, all
hard ball fans in any of these
communities should attend the
meeting if only for a few
minutes.
Last year, Caldwell and Bates
vile operated in the Little
Mountain league, while Summer
field was affiliated with the
Guernsey Valley loop.

Council Preparing
Continued from Page One)

The request made by the, dele
oation that Ross street extends
between Belford and North
streets without an interruption
was based on the information
occurred from the records of the
village from a map produced in
1910. The delegation contended
that after contracting several of
the older residents of that sec
ton, the village council never
enacted any legislation that
would authorized adjacent prop
erty owners to use the road for
personal use.
Citizens interested and who
met with council included c. j.
Estadt, L. E. Potts, Jerry Hupp,
George Rice, Bill Glidden, Edwin
Snider and William Estadt.
Council Fails To Act

Morgareidge, the council refused
to approve the annual appropri-
alton ordinance presented to
them. The board will probably
act on the budget when the coun-
Gil meets in special session next
week.

evening was the reading of re-
port on the receipts and expendi-
lures made by the various de-
partnents of the village govern
ment during the first two months
of this year.

ceived and expenditures made
by the various departments OF
the village government during

Gil president, and acting clerk al

Macksburg Community
FIGHTS To Mold Charter

The community of Macksburg
is banding together in an all-out
effort to retain their high school
there, the charter for which was
recently revoked by the state de-
partment of education.
Headed by Supt. Ray L. Cur
tbs, a meeting of all citizens in
terested in keeping their school
was to have been held this
week and this included practic-
ally every property owner in the
small village, which is just out
side Noble county.
The state department revoked
the charter and plans were made
to have all high school students
attend the Salem-Liberty high
school or Dexter City.
The state department has al
ready indicated that it will not
back down on its present plan of
closing the school.

NEWS FOR
VETERANS

World War II veterans and
certain next-of-kin of deceased
veterans, who were not eligible
for the Ohio "bonus" because the
veterans had served less than go
days and were not on duty on
Dec. 7, 1941, may now be en-
titled to compensation under the
provisions of Amended Substi-
tute Senate Bill No. 10, enacted
by the last general assembly, if
the veteran served on active
duty between Dec. 8, 1941, and
Sept. 2, 1945.
This act was passed by the
legislature to correct seeming
inequity in the Constitutional
Amendment providing for the
bonus, which did not allow pay
ment to veterans or next of kin
of veterans who did not serve at
least 80 days because they were
separated prior thereto by rea-
son of a service-connected in
jury or death unless the veteran
was on active duty on Dec. z,
l941.
The act is being administered
by the Commissioners of the
Sinking Fund who have desig-
mated Leslie C. Scrimger as di-
rector of World War II Compen-
sation commission, to procure
and process applications. Mr..
Scrimger emphasized that funds
for payment of compensation un-
der the act have not been ap-
propriated. However, he pointed
out that applications must be
submitted prior to July l, 1850,
the deadline set by the act, and
that such applications would be
Immediately processed although
payment of the approved claims
will not be made until such time
as funds are made available.
Director Scrimger stated that
applications for use by veterans
and next of kin are now avail
able at the office of all county
veterans service officers, and
urged applicants to seek the aid
of those officers in submitting
their applications. He again en-
phasized that all applications
must be filed prior to July l,
1850.

IN MEMORY

In loving memory of our dear
one, J. Thornton Groves, who
left us nine years ago, March g.,
1941.
I cannot say, I will not say
That he is dead-he is just
away!
With a CHEEKY smile and a wave
of the hand,
He wandered into an unknown
land.
And left us dreaming how
very fair
1t needs must be, since he
fingers there;
And you. o you, who the
widest yearn
For the old time step and the
glad return.
Think of him faring on, as dear
In the love of There as the love
of Here;
Think of him still as the same,
say,
He is not dead, he is just away.

A happy home she once enjoyed
How sweet the memory still;

The world can never fill.

Of one who once sat there.

Around the grave where you
