and abandoned it's fourth con-
secutive dry hole southeast OF
the Porcupine dome area south
of Forsyth. Latest failure is
that drilled on land of John
Perry of Hardin, in the Slaugh-
terhouse sector of Rosebud
county located in SENW 23-5N-
42E. The Madison was topped
at 7,45O feet and the well was
bottomed at 1854, where it was
plugged.

Volunteer Firemen
Sponsor Fire
Prevention Week

Cooperating in Fire Proven
ton week, being observed ma
tionally from October S to IL,
the Hardin Volunteer Fire De-
partment is sponsoring a clean
up campaign during the week,
it has been announced by Mel
vim Cook, fire chief.
Since the accumulation OF
rubbish in atticS, easements and
elsewhere about the premises
is one of the major causes OF
fires, fire department members
believe a cleanup will contrib
ute in a major degree to fire
prevention in the city of Har-
din. According to the fire chief,
the city has had no major fires
in the past year, and it is the
departments aim to maintain
and improve that record. H..
Residents of the city are re-
uuested to clean buildings and
premises, both residential and
business, of rubbish and check
for any fire hazard which may
exist. City trucks will haul rub
bish and trash to the garbage
dump during the week.
During the week fire depart
ment officials will also inspect
alleys and buildings in the city
for fire hazards.
Fire Prevention week, now a
nationwide observance, origin
ated years ago in the Middle
West. There many communities
each year conducted special
cleanup campaigns. .~
AS a result of these cam
paigns there were fewer fires
and soon those communities
began referring to their clean
up day as Fire Prevention day.
\As the years went by, most
communities began observing
Fire Prevention day on Octob-
err 9, the anniversary OF the
great Chicago fire of 1871. Thus
it came about that in 1911, 22
governors issued proclamations
calling for statewide obserV-
ance Of Fire Prevention Day.
Nine years later President Will
son issued the first national
Fire Prevention week proclama-
ton.
This year marks the weeks
33rd national observance.

GRASSROOTS
When Herbert Hoover Talks, All America Listens

70's and sos Of the last century, and
both parties will indulge In the same
type Of invective.
President Truman set the keynote
Of the campaign In his address be-
fore the national Democratic Wom-
ans club at Washington In Novem-
Der. He was greeted with applause
because he was talking to an audi
ence who have voted Democratic
because father and grandfather
voted that ticket
His generalIties did not change
any votes. nor will the orators Of
either party who indulge In the
same type Of generalitieS. Those
whose votes can be changed want
provable facts.
For example, the president
charged the Republicans with the
expenditure OF vast sums contributed
by a small minority for purely SELF
ish reasons In an effort to attain q
result. In which they failed.
The fact Is the Republicans spent
in that campaign q total Of 81. a.
894.T7. In the same campaign the
Democrats spent S2.066. 37250. The
figures are those submitted to con-
gress as required by law. by the
national chairmen OF the two par
ties. In the Ohio senatorial cam
paign, he charged that Senator Taft
received vast sums from special
interests" in their attempt to In
nuence legislation for corporate
wealth, but he said nothing about
the assessments levied against al
members Of organized labor. and
spent to defeat Taft that organized
labor bosses might benefit from leg

Twelve year old Chef Allen,

sings with Rosemary KuhlmAn
In . rehearsal Of the Gian-Car-

was born In ChlIIieothe, Ohio,
and now lives I'm Columbus, had
the starring role Of . crippled
boy In the Menotti opera which
had its TV premiere over the
NBC network.
two years ago by the National
BroadeastinR Company.
Menotti seized upon the Chillicothe
youngster as a natural for the role
Of the crippled boy whose impover-
ished mother was visited by the
Three Wise Men. The youths Inn
pulsive gesture In offering his crutch
as a present to the newborn King
in Bethlehem led to his miraculous
recovery.
: Chef MOVED on New York with
all the assurance Of a widely trav-
eled adult. He became an over.
night hit with the operas cast at
rehearsal. His role was an exactinR
one. requiring a wide variety Of
emotions. and eminent musical men
like Toscanini, who dropped In on
rehearsals. were both moved and
amazed by his vocal and acting
capacities.
So. too. were ordinary folks
throughout the nation. The opera
had its premiere Christmas Eve on
a national television hook.up. The
next day NBC was deluged with let
tiers, kilograms and telephone calls
praising the young artist.
Chef liked what he saw Of the big
city, but he still feels that a small
town has plenty Of advantages.
''You can get in touch with folks so
much easier" he explains.
Chef is now back at the Boyehoir
where Director Hoffman reports
with pride that all the attention
focused on him has not gone TO his
head lone whit" He makes occa-
slonal trips to New York to COM
plete a full recording Of the opera
for RCA Victor. and the remainder
Of his time is devoted to his school
and to extracurricular activities.
Whether Chef win continue as an
operate performer. or whether he
will pick up the old life and perhaps
specialize as a cartoonist or become
an engineer like his father. depends
upon nature. Director Hoffman es-
Inmates that In one year, possibly
two. Chefs voice viii mature.
Whether the post adolescent Chef
will have the vocal capacity for an
operate career Is something that
neither Chef, Director Hoffman or
anyone else will prophecy. In the
past, instances Of boy sopranos who
successfully hridged the change of
voice have been rare. But few have
been as successful In pre-adoles-
cence as young Allen and even few
er have demonstrated his remark
able adaptability for operate act
ing.
