concealed in the surrounding
hills and their deadly fire in
flicted many casualties. Ser
geant Schultz with complete
disregard for his own personal
safety, left his position of COM

aid of his wounded comrades.
Totally disregarding the dey-

despite the fact that two men
standing right beside him were
killed by enemy fire. Sergeant
Schultz's conspicuous bravery
and devotion to duty reflect
great credit upon himself and

G.. Manning, guest speaker dur
ing the program I
Manning, professor of educa-

Billings, is a service club menu
Der of many years standing
and served as district governor
of Rotary.
He said it is both an honor
and a responsibility to be a
member of any service club and
listed four points he considered
major functions of a service
club.
A favorable relationship to
the community is a major func-
ton to justify the existence of
a service club, he said, and all
elements in the community
should be represented. He men
toned labor unions in particu-
lar, stating they should be rep
resented in any service club.
A service club should be a
place where men mature, Man.
ming said. They have a duty to
aid in the mental maturity OF
their members. He said toe
many men of immature mental
capacity are now in responsible
positions in this country.
The speaker said a service
club should also train men fol
dynamic leadership, and, finally
should act as a public forum
where questions of public i'm
portance can be discussed freely
and intelligently.
Following the speakers adj
dress, Warren Alfred outgoing
president of the club, gave a
short talk upon the close of his
year of service as executive Of
ficer of the club.

Col. Brice Custer
Speaks At
Memorial Services

Tribute to the dead of all
Americas wars was paid by
Col. Brice G. w. Custer, grand
nephew of Gen. George A.
Custer, in an address at Mem
orial day services here yeSter-
day.
In answering the present day
question, What are we fight.
ing for, Col. Custer described
scenes witnessed in Europe and
Asia during World War III. The.
millions of hungry orphans and
mourning women he saw dur
ing his service in Europe will
always remain a tragic mem
DRY, he said, adding that we
are fighting today to prevent
such scenes from occurring in
our own country.
The speaker warned against
complacency of American citi-
zenS concerning what is hap
pening behind the Red iron
curtain, and said that America,
in all its wars, has been in the
right. In Korea today, he said,
the fanatical Reds are no
match for the humanitarian
fighting methods of the Ameri-
can soldiers.
In paying tribute to Americas
war dead, Col Custer quoted
the words of Gen. Douglas
Macarthur at Pearl Harbor
during World War III, when he
spoke of the dead of the Pearl
Harbor attack, saying: 81 know
not the nobility of their birth.
but I do know the glory of
their DEATH"
The speaker was introduced
by Capt. E. S. Luce, superin-
tendent of Custer Battlefield
National Monument. Richard
Fox, commander of Hardin
post No. g., American Legion,
acted as master of ceremonies.
The memorial day prayer was
by the Rev. C. A. Bentley.
Musical numbers on the pro-
gram included "Garryowen" by
the Hardin high school band,
and numbers by a high school
boys seXtet and the AuXil-
iaires. .
Due to the rain, Memorial
services were conducted at the
Harriet. theatre, instead of at
the Custer Battlefield National
monument, as had be n
planned.

Two Rural Schools
Have Play Day
Wednesday, May g

The FairView W, Community
and Sorrell Horse schools COM
bined to present a Play Day
program, picnic and play period
at Community school last We'd
nesday, May %.
The program consisted of
songs, dances, and recitations
appropriate to the theme of
the play, 1.-The Melting Pot of
the Nations. Children repre-
Senting the nations were dres-
sed in colorful costumes, with
Miss Columbia presiding over

The chorus and flag bearer
did a fine supporting job.

Swedish dance by the upper
grade children of Community,
under the direction of Mrs.
Lambert; a Scottish dance. in
costume, and a typical Ameri-
can square dance, both by chill
dren of FairVieW, under the

Ripping
OF the Rivers

Twenty-Five or 80 years age
not so, many people had cars
radios and other modern con-
veniences and "luxuries", but it
seems to us they had more
time to enjoy life and to do the
things they wanted to do.
They weren't always in a
rush with too many social al
fairs and other activities to at
tend. Those were the. days when
there weren't so many cases OF
ulcers and nervous fatigue-or
SO it seems.
Contributing to the present
day tediouSneSS of living, per-
hapS is the way in which the
government succeeds in fouling
up the citizens minds, as evil
denced by the following eX-
ample, stolen from a fellow
Montana publisher, who stole it
from a Minnesota paper:
"The story of the creation of
the world is told in Genesis in
400 words. The worlds greatest
moral code, the Ten Com
mandments, contains only 297
words. Lincoln's Gettysburg adj
dress is but 266 words in length.
The Declaration of Independ-
ence required only 1921 words
to set up a new concept of free
dom. Meanwhile, the Office of
Price Administration used $500
words to announce a reduction
in the price of cabbage seed"
Maybe it isn't enough yet,
but the Great Rain Maker has
beat the artificial rainmakers
to the punch in Big Horn
county today.
A total of 81 inches of pre-
cipitation fell between 5 p. m.
yesterday and 8 a. m. today,
according to information from
the Holly Sugar Corp, agricult-
ural department in Hardin.
Skies remain cloudy today,
boosting the spirits of farmers
and ranchers, as well as city
jewellers.
Whether it rains any more or
not, we're betting b. A. zim-
norman, local liquor vendor,
will soon have ripe tomatoes.
He planted tomatoes on March
%, and has nursed them at the
liquor store during the past
two months. He is now display
ing a couple of huge specimens,
one of which is'4R feet high
and has tomatoes on the vine
approximately 8 inches in di-
! ameter.
Patrons may soon be able to
. order their. tomato juice and
liquor all in one trip.
