Basketball Game,
Dance Benefit
March of Dimes

Designed to raise funds for
the annual March of Dimes in
Big Horn county, a dance and
a basketball game are sched-
uled for Hardin Saturday, Feb.
The game; which viii be held
at the Hardin junior high gym,
will pit the Hardin Might
gowns, against the Lodge Grass
"Pajamas". Both, teams are
composed of married men of
the two communities and will
perform in uniforms conform
ing to their respective team
names.
A preliminary is set for 7 p.
m. between the Hardin Boosters
and the Lodge Grass Independ-
entS.
The annual March of Dimes
dance will he held at the
American Legion hall here the
same evening.
Four out of five of all report
ed cases of infantile paralysis
require aid, in whole or in
part, from funds raised during
the annual March of Dimes of
the National Foundation for In
fantile Paralysis, according to
Mrs. Iva Goe, county chairman
of the drive.
Even those who do not need
direct assistance from their 10
cal chapters benefit, however,
because of better stated and
equipped. hospitals and more
knowledge about. treatment,
which have come about in large
part because of the March of
Dimes.
Since the establishment of
the National Foundation Is
years ago, it is estimated that
costs of polio patient care alone
used up "a per cent off, bill
lion dimeS-$94, 000, 600.
OF this vast amount, almost
tWo-thirds was spent for pa
tient care in the 1948-50 period,
during which a staggering total
of some 1O0, 900 cases was re-
ported.
What 1851 holds in store for
us no one can say, the chair
man pointed out. But approx
mately $4,000 polio patients in
1850 needed some help for care
or treatment, 10000 of them pa
tents from 1949 or earlier. It is
for these reasons that polio
workers seek, to make the 1851
March Of Dimes the greatest
polio Embarrassing drive in his
tory, Mrs. Goe said.

Sees No Opposition
To Ratification
OF Water Compact

No opposition to passage of
the water compact recently
formulated by representatives
of Montana, Wyoming and
North Dakota has been found,
according to information from
H. w. Bunston of Hardin.
Bunston attended a Joint
conservation committee meeting
of the House, and Senate of the
Montana legislature January Is,
and was among those who
urged the legislature to ratify
the compact.
The compact specifies that
existing water rights as of jan
uary l, 1850, shall continue in
force and allocates unused and
Lnappropriated waters of the
interstate tributaries of the
Yellowstone river according to
percentage tables. The tables
were worked out by engineers
of the signatory states.
Provisions of the compact
were explained in detail by Will
liam Burke, Billings, reclama~
ton bureau counsel. The pre-
amble sets forth the basic aim
ito remove all causes of pres
ent and future controversy, to
provide for an equitable division
and apportionment of Yellow
stone river waters, and to en-
courage the beneficial develop
ment and use thereof"
The agreement defines the
Yellowstone river basin as "are-
as in wyoming and North Da-
kota drained by the Yellow
stone river, and it's tributaries"
Interstate tributaries listed are
the Big Horn, excluding the
Little Big Horn; the Clarks
Fork of the Yellowstone; the
Powder and Tongue rivers.
Funston, a member of all
three Yellowstone compact
commissions, said he signed
the current agreement with
more pleasure than he had in
approving either of the earlier
compacts (neither of which
were ratified by all states con-
cerned).
Senator D. M. Manning CDem.,
Treasure) said progress was
made in Montana's favor with
each renegotiation. !,
I Nothing the zeompac is to
be interpreted as to affect adj
yersely any rights held py m
dams, Indian tribes or. reser-
vations. All streams in Yellow
stone national park are exclud-
ed.
II believe: this compact is
beneficial, not detrimental to
the state of Montana" Governor
John w. Bonner said after its
provisions had been explained.
IT am certain the state water
board approves it. I give it my
wholehearted Endorsement"
A telegram was read at the
meeting advising that the COM
pact has been transmitted to
the North Dakota legislature.
The wyoming legislature has
approved the compact and the
document is now on the gov
errors desk at Cheyenne
awaiting his signature.
Funston said this week 1--WE
We're given a fine hearing
through the chairman, Oscar
Balgord of Lavina, senator from
Golden Valley county. Balgord
was with us at the YelloWtail
dam site when the governors
arad Pick and Sloan were pres
ent a few years ago. He said to
me when I completed my re-
marks that he hoped the pass
age of the legislation would help
us get Yellowtail."
Funston also said he had a
very nice letter from the gov
ernor concerning this areas
part in the compact and the
Hardin community is to be con-
graduated on it's interest in it.
The Big Horn County Chamber
of Commerce took a real active
interest in it.
