Der of the Durannt faculty for
manyn years. Since this event
was in the nature of a farewell
party, there was a decided tinge
of sadness and regret mingled
with the usual remarks of good
will and congratulations
The secret Of Miss Aliens sue
cess as a teacher is in the out
standing fact that she depended
on the originality of her own
point of view and she always
made her presence and influence
felt.
She has been closely identified
and prominent, not only in school
affairs, but in club and church
work.
Miss Aliens many friends re-
greet that she will not be in
Durant another session. All ex-
press the wish that she will be
loved and appreciated as much
wherever she goes as she has
been here.

water running along its base. A flash
of lightning showed my horse stand
ing knee deep in water in narrow
wash about eight feet deep. The
sound of the stampeding horses was
fading away in the distance.
I sat down on a pile of mud and
waited for daylight to find place
to get my horse out of the drain.
We scrambled out at stock cross

working the main herd back toward
me. 1t took all the crew until after
noon to track and get all the horses
together. The beds at the wagon
looked like the rest of the mud
around there.
The next morning we headed into
Oak Smiths. He had good corrals
on draw that ran into Fort Peck
bottom. There was plenty of grass
and water for the bunch. We cut
out all the old mares and ge1dings
that were too big for saddle horses
(about 500 of then) and took them
to the Great Northern stock yards
at Nashua. There was a good ford

Ed got what fell in the hat. 1t was
just fun, not like it is today.
The boys wanted to borrow my
pet horse, Fitzsimmons, and buck
him out, but nothing doing, boys.
I'd been taking lessons from Tex
on how to keep a horse from buck
ing. Besides, Fitz had taken me
across the Big Muddy twice in high
water, which had given me a senti-
mental regard for him. And be-
lieve mutual confidence existed
between us. However, I hoped so
because we were going back to
Beaverhead county on the railroad
in a few days to roundup and trail
back more Circle Bar horses.
No one could tell what John
would do. He might have us swim
with the horses this fail in the slush
ice. Then Fitz could get even if I
did him dirt and let me down in a
cramp as John died a few years
later at First Point where he had

punches of horses some we had to
run quite a way before we could
hold them up. We had about 200
head and were making a bee line
for the mouth of Snow creek on the
Missouri. 1t was rough and rocky
going down to the river. We could
see the horses scattered out grazing
on the slopes behind Ninth Point.
Back TO the Main Bunch
AS we got closer we could see the
wagon close to three old shacks and
the wrecks of some Red River carts.
1t had been the home of some Red
River breed freighters of the old
steamboat days. All the Circle Bar
hands were driving a bunch of
horses down to the waters edge. The
bunch we were driving threw up
their heads, pointed their ears, the
studs squealed and plowed into the
dirty boiling Big Muddy.
We had hemmed our bunch into
rimrock pocket and caught the two
smartest saddle horses we had. Tex's
stud, mine regional we called
Fitz because he whipped the studs.

Ninth Point is long and good land
ing, and it needed to be the way the
bunch was being swept down
stream. The boys were driving at
a good trot to keep them even with
the swimming horses to encourage
and prevent them from giving up
and returning to the south bank.
The tail end landed about a mile
down team without loss as far as
we could see. The men brought the
bunch back opposite to us.
Our pack and saddle horses had
been trying to take off all the time.
We tied our brides, ropes and three

cinches and turned them loose, slip

The Prince Georges County
Commissioners yesterday approved

ing strip at the Greenbelt airport
for use as county road. connect
ing the Greenbelt interchange
with Goodluck road.
Fritz Schrom, one of the princi-
pal owners of the airport, agreed
to sell the 60-foot wide strip to the
county for $1,000. Mr.. Schrom
told the board the completed land
ing strip was valued on his books
at $4,000.
County Engineer Arthur Tay-
man said the Federal Bureau of
Public Roads had agreed to re-
locate the cloverleaf intersection
at Greenbelt to connect that end
of the road with the Washington
Baltimore parkway. The other
end, he said, could be extended to
the Princess Garden road and
eventually to Route so.

Mr.. Tayman described the pro-

other owners of property adjoin-

Smiling faces-what do
they mean?
These youngsters represent
a little community of 101
girls who but for a citizenry's
concern might be growing up
rarely smiling, without hope.
These 1O1 girls, for a year,
or two years-or longer
have been deprived of a nor
NAL home. Their families
have been disrupted-by ill
ness or poverty, or death.
But Catholic Charities has
opened to them a substitute
home, a place where there is
not merely shelter, but even
more vital friendship and
ready counsel and a whole
some daily life. This place is
st. Vincent's Home. Girls
from 5 to 18 can call it home
as long as they need it.
The meaning in their
smiles is trust. It is reflected
in the faces of thousands of
other children who find
needed help in the COM
munity-children with ply
sical disabilities, such as loss
of hearing; children who are
ill or injured and must have
medical or surgical care;
children with psychiatric
problems; youngsters who
need a wholesome place to
play, under intelligent guild
ance, when their parents
must work; children whose
lives, left to their own re-
sources, would have far less
chance of happiness and
worthy fulfillment.
Children who, when they
must, can place their trust
in the community, can smile.
The way to make sure they
and others of all ages can
keep smiling is to wear the
red feather of a contributor
to the Community Chest.

the Montgomery County Council
charged last night that the Dem
ocratic nominees "are backed by
big real estate operators who hope
to make a killing in the county.
The charge, made by John c.
Reid before the land-Bradley
Citizens Association, was the
latest in the verbal battle between
the two parties for control of the
county in the November election.
According to Mr.. Reid. the real
estate operators have reached an
agreement with the Democrats
under which residential property
which they buy now would be re-
zoned for commercial use if the
Democrats win.
Another speaker, De Witt S.
Hyde, Republican candidate for
the State Senate. warned the as
sociation that a Democratic vic
tory would result in "favoritism,
Spoils and unsound financing"
His Democratic opponent. Jo-
seph B. Simpson, jr., who spoke
at the same meeting. declared,
however, that the Republican
platform "is a glaring example of
an effort to deceive the voters by
promising generalities on the is
sues of education, roads and
taxes"

candidate for the Council, at

porters who, he said. are oppoS-

patronage basis. The Charter
