mural Line

Rural telephone service to
farms and ranches in North
Valley is planned if sufficient
interest by residents of that
area is shown, it has been
learned from residents of the
valley. Deadline for signing up
for the service is December Is.
According to Guy Van Cleye,
whose ranch is located Is miles
north of Hardin, and which
would be the farthest service
on the line as planned, several
meetings have been held in re-
cent months at which a suf-
ficient number of residents
signified their intentions of
signing up for the service. A
survey of the proposed line was
then made and applications for
service are now being made.
Van Cleve said that not
enough residents have actually
signed up for the service at the
present time to insure it's being
constructed. A certain mini
mum number of residents must
apply for the service before
actual work of installation can
be started.
Van Cleve said it is believed
present plans for initiating the
service will be abandoned if a
sufficient number of residents
of the area do not sign up for
the service.
If constructed, the line would
extend 18 miles north of Har-
din, ending at the Van Cleve
property.

.RippHng
of the Rivers

Judging from the comments
heard following the Hardin
high-school junior and senior
band concert last Thursday
night, Frank Solazzi, director,
would do well to plan another
in the not too distant future
Personally, we've always been
attracted to band music just
because we like it, but COM
mentS by those more verSed
along musical lines indicate
that Thursdays performance
was one of the best the Har-
din band has ever presented:
The program included some OF
the more serious works OF well
known composers, as well as a
Sprinkling of more modern
numbers to please a wide var
iety of tastes.
Robert Beers, violiniSt of Bill
ings, who appeared with the
band, made a hit with the au-
dience with several excellent
solos, as well as a display OF
sparkling personality.
Incidentally, local residents
will have an opportunity to
hear Mr.. Beers again when he
appears here with the Billings
Lions Chorus next month.
In spite of the unseaSonably
warm weather and the lack of
nSow, the Christmas spirit is
much in evidence in Hardin
this week, with residents bus
lily engaged in decorating homes,
completing Christmas shopping
and mailing, while also devot-
ing valuable time to prepara-
tionS for annual programs and
services in churches, schools
and other organizations.
The business section has been
bedecked in its cloak of colored
lights and greenery for more
than a week. Of special note
also, are the Christmas scenes
which adorn many of the local
church buildings. and grounds,
as well as private homes which
reveal the painStaking work
and artistry of Hardin resid-
entS and add to the general air
of festivity in keeping with the
season.
In addition to the enjoyment
local citizens derive from their
decorative efforts they also
come in line for special recog-
milton. since the Hardin Lions
club. is again sponsoring a
Christmas home decorating
contest, in which residences in
Crow Agency and Hardin will
be judged. Trophies will be
awarded for the most attrac-
tive all-around decoration, and
for the picture window consid-
cred most striking by the
judges.
1t looks like Christmas. It is
beginning to smell like Christ
mas. And one week from today
it will be Christmas.
And speaking of Christmas, 1t
would hardly seem like Christ
mas in Hardin if it weren't for
the annual Christmas program
of the Hardin high school vocal
department, to which local res
idents have become so accus-
toned.
Under the direction of Miss
Ethel Schuster, the Junior and
senior vocal departments made
their usual fine contribution OF
the season at the Junior high
gym last night. before a packed

There is one thing for sure
about all of this.
Whatever course Malan might
take from here on out, there is no
possibility of British interven-
ton because the Statute of West

Of South Africa sovereign powers,
and in 1850 the Union parliament
itself abolished all right of appeal
to the Privy Council in London.
With the British Common

Colored voters in Cape Province
numbering 10000 previously had
registered and voted with white
electors. Under Malan's act the
colored were struck from the
common list and were to vote
separately for special representa-
tives.
This right OF cOIOred to vote
was granted them by the Union
constitution, which, in any case,
could not be changed without two
thirds Of Parliament in accord.
Malan passed his separations
act with a bare majority.
With this decision against him,
Malan began efforts to take the
judicial matters of the govern
ment away from the courts MAX

fled the UN by staging a 37-day
boycott on December IL, 1851.
However, it is noted that one Of
the most outstanding reasons the
Union walked out of the UN was
in objection to the Assembly ex-
tending an invitation to South
African tribal chiefs to appear
before the UN and state their
cases against the Union govern
ment. In order to prevent this ac-
ton South Africa refused to issue
the chiefs the necessary passports
for travel. The chiefs never left
the Union.
But this did not go without eff
feet.
From amidst the Union popula-
ton. one white man lifted his
voice and championed the cause
of these natives. He was the Rev.
Michael Scott, an Anglican
priest,
Rev. Scott appeared before the
UN several times in behalf of
these native chieftians. AS a re-
suit. he was denied future en-
trance into the ports of the Union
and was labelled prohibited i'm

This banning Of an Anglican
priest; the flogging of natives as
punishment: and the diScrimina-

Of Indian origin, all added fuel TO
the fire within this nation.

airy case.
But on the other hand, one need
not be blind to see South Africa's
sociological problems to condemn
the MARKHAM like tactics of the
MaIan government and to deplore
its threats which range from re-
volt in the Union itself and seces-
sion from the British Common
wealth. For whatever comfort it
might be to the misery-laden in
these United States, 1t could well
be pointed out that the Union of
South Africa has more race
trouble than any other country
in the world-which makes our
own Dixiecrat brigade seem tame
in comparison.

supply Of freshly clean or now
