CERTIFICATE FOR JERSEY

A Ton Of Gold Certificate has

Jersey cow owned by George o.
and Beverly Ashmore Route ?.
London. The award went 10 their
COW, Volunteer Bindle Pet Sor-
row, which produced 2.197 lbs.
butterfat-more than q ton-in
four years. The certificate was
presented by The American Jer-
sey Cattle Club from its head
quarters in Columbus.
During the test perioa volua-
teer Bindle Pet Sorrow produced
more than two and one-half times
as much butterfat as the aver
age dairy COW in the United
States. All her tests were checked
both By Ohio State University
and The American Jersey Cattle
Club.
Most dairy cows are discarded
before they have completed three
years of production. The long
life and high rate of production
recorded by this Jersey are goals
the dairy industry is striving to
reach. The Ashmore COW complet-
ed her record at 6 years of age.

EAST HIGH PROGRAM


Mrs. Harry High and Mrs
Nancy Cannon presented a pro-
gram on Creative Art to the
members of East High Street Club
on Tuesday, December the 4th.
Mrs. High began her portion Of
the program by reading i collec-
ton of her own poems. She pre-
sented her collection very effect
lively and with expression befitting
the descriptive nature of many OF
her poems.
Mrs. High began writing poetry
to satisfy a creative urge which
previously had been blunted by
the lack of opportunity to paint
or do creative work with her
hands. She credited her profess
sors at Ohio University and Col
umbia University whose tutelage.
she feels. has provided her with a
good foundation and excellent
background for her success in
writing poetry.
Mrs. Nancy Cannon followed
with q very interesting discussion
on textiles. She displayed and ex-
planned the making up Of patterns
SO as to produce a material with
a nearly solid surface. Carpet and
tapestry weaving constitute dis
tinct branches of this industry.
She also displayed some of the
work she has done in screen paint
!. ing, making place mats and de-
signing and making their own
christmas cards.

companies are trying again to make
it look as if they really started rural
identification after all.

ust 20, a public relations firm as
ISOLATED with the companies informa-

States Power Co. in 1923 strung the
first experimental rural power line,
at Red Wing, Mimi.
What the announcement fails to
state is that for II years thereafter,
until REA was created in 1885, the
percentage of electrified farms new
er got above 10 per cent. In the
first four years of REA, however,
the percentage of farms served doub-
led. About 80 per cent of us.

BUTTE MINERS TO Gel EBRATE I'D anniversary
OF UkI0NISM, WEDNESDAY

Seventy-three years ago next We'd
nesday, June 10, the first large min
ers union in the west was organized in
Butte by men driven to desperation
by extremely low wage scales and
equally poor working conditions.
With that organization-the Butte
City Miners Union-was born the
grandfather of the present Interna-
tlonal Union of Mine, Mill & Shelter
Workers. It's militancy brought about
better wages and working conditions
not only for Butte, but for other min
ing communities in the northwest.
Out of it developed the old West
ern Federation of Miners, forerun-
ner of Mine-Mill, that did so much
to improve the lot of miners in Mon
tana, Idaho and Colorado, despite
the ruthless resistance of the min
ing magnates of another day.
In commemoration of that moment
us June day in 1878, Butte Miners
Union No. 1, next Wednesday will
once again celebrate Miners Union
Day.
There will be speeches by Nine

Clark and Board Member William Ma

between five first aid teams, and,
that evening free public dance will
be held. Columbia Gardens will be the

erage of 1877 per cent since Korea,
he said.
