Lord of MisruIe,'
'Hodening Horse
Make Noel JoIIier

A DIFFERENT playtime OBJ
n servance for your Christmas
festivities is the game Lord of
Misrule." /
When your guests have all ar
rived and have been greeted by the
music of the minstrels and the
song of the earolers, it is time for
the most honored guest of the eve
ming to arrive. With much fan
fare the Lord of Misrule" is an
nounced. He enters with great
pomp and ceremony and takes his
place as the master of ceremonies
for the evening.
The Lord of Misrule comes to
us from the Tudor courts where he
was elected annually to reign over
the Christmas festivities. His
word, during the festivities, was
law, and the ridiculous commands
he laid upon the guests had to be
obeyed.
At your party, the Lord of Mis-
rule will command each guest TO
do his bidding. He may call for
singing, dancing, panomime, imi-
tations and stunts of all kinds.
Failure to do the bidding of the
Lord of Misrule results in the pay
ment of a forfeit. And here an
other unusual note may be inject
ed. The forfeit, instead of being
paid to the Lord of Misrule may
be paid to another Christmas
character, the 'hodening horse"
1t was the custom in Kent, Eng
land, for young men to go from
house to house with the hodening
horse, an imitation of a horses
head attached to long stick. Two
lads, forming the body of the horse,
were hidden from view by cover
ing of cloth resembling horses
skin. The hodening horse was ac-
companied by paraders who rang
the bells throughout the town and
begged for money or food.

gun this week, sponsored by the

forthcoming the work of spray
ing can be done within the

Donations may be left at the

Locdl Mon Returns
From Busin Mine

Earl Wilkinson of Hardin re-
turned home last Sunday after
spending three days at Basin,
where he made four trips inside
the Free Enterprise mine as
treatment for arthritis.
Mr. Wilkinson believes that he
has received some benefit from
the trips into the mine and
plans to return within the next
several weeks.
The mine, one of two in the
area, has become a subject of
wide, discussion and national
publicity in recent months,
since the owners began operat-
ing it for the benefit of those
who believe the uranium gas in
the mine is an aid or cure for
arthritiS or similar ailments.
Mr.. Wilkinson reports that he
talked with many people while
visiting the mine and saw pa
tents who had not been able
to walk without. the aid of
crutcheS for some years improv-
ed after visits into the. mine.
It is his opinion that although
some may not derive any bene-
fit from the treatment, many
have been helped in varying
degrees by inhaling the mine
air which is said to contain
uranium gas.
National publicity and COM
ment on the mine as a cure for
arthritis has ranged from fav-
orable to being classed as a
hoax. The operators, according
to publicity, make no claim re-
garding the curing power Of
the mine gas. The Free Enter
prise mine, which is being Wis
tied by an average of 400 to 500
persons daily, makes a charge
for entering the mine and is
currently improving the grounds.

North Valley Man
Is Appointed
Committee Member

Howard Hussey of Hardin
this week was appointed to the
Farmers Home Administration
committee for Big Horn coun-
ty, Donald Eyre, local ~supervis-
Or for the agency, announced
Tuesday. Appointment was made
by James A. Keane of Boze-
man, state director.
The new committeeman is a
farmer and longtime resident
of the North Hardin commun-
ity. His experience in develop
ing a, successful family type
farm, Eyre said, fits him well
for his new assignment. He
will serve three years.
Eyre explained that all ap-
plicationS for Farmers Home
Administration credit must be
approved by the committee be-
fore loans can be made. When
a real estate loan is being con-
sidered to buy, enlarge Or de-
velop a farm or to improve
housing and farm buildings, the
committee also acts on how
much the farm is worth as Sc
curity for the loan.
Advice Of the committee is
sought on good farm manage
ment and on the re-financing
of Farmers Home Administra-
ton loans when borrowers
build up enough equity in their
property to get credit from loo
al banks Or other lenders, Eyre
added. Farmers who can get
private or cooperative credit
are not eligible for loans from
the agency, he said.
Hussey succeeds Russell Dan
ielson of Hardin, whose three
year term expired June 80.
Members who continue to serve
are William Colstad and Erwin
Schelske, both of the Hardin
community.
Eyre said a new committee
chairman to serve through next
June will be selected at the
next meeting. Danielson was
chairman last year.
