northeast Champaign.
Petitions signed by 81 persons
in the area were filed with the
city council and officials of the
Champaign-Urbana City Lines.
Joe w. Somers, 702 North Pop
lar ST., who circulated the peti-
tions, said he could have obtained
500 signers in a short time if he
had felt it necessary to induce
action.
Somers, spokesman for the pc
titioners, complained that crowded
buses frequently leave persons
standing on the curbs in the MORN
ing rush hours.
II think it's unfair" Somers
said. Until this last year, he said,
the company operated two buses

'NEIGHBORLTNESS' IS KINGS
PLEA
Reginald King, director OF radio
and television for the Chicago
public schools, speaking on What
Man Needs To Know About His
Fellowman" Sunday at Baha'i
center, told of the difficulty
modern man has IN practising
simple neighborliness.
Neighborliness has become
forgotten art and its absence may
explain largely what is wrong
with the world today, King said.
Everyone acknowledges that much
is wrong with the world and there
is much talk of the causes Of dis
agreement but few people go to
the root OF the matter - lack of
true spirituality, he said.
King said the condensing of
time and space in these times
means no place on earth is more
than 48 hours from the nearest
airport. This means we need
to understand foreign people, for
the earth is now one home, he
added.
This understanding is charac-
teristic of Bahai groups the world
over, King declared.

change, displays an Indian head
dress from his stock of Indian
curioS in which the firm deals,
in addition to a complete line
of western supplies and other
items.
The store, established in 1910
by Gayle's father and grand
father, is one of the oldest bus
mess establishments in Hardin.
Gayle assumed management of
the store in December, 1916,
when his father died. Mrs. May
ma hammers is owner, and an
other son, Harold hammers, now
of Denver, Colo, also has had
a part in operating the estab-
liShment, which has been built
up by the hammers family
since the early days of the city.
Gayle was born in Hardin and
has spent his entire life here,
with the exception of the time
he was in the Navy during
World War II. He graduated
from Hardin high school with
the class of 1913 and on March
7, 1914, entered the Navy.
He served on a troop trans
port ship in the Pacific during
a major portion of his time in
service and the last three
months before his honorable
discharge, he was transferred
on a net tender for three
months. His boot training was
taken at Farragut, Idaho.
Following discharge from the
Navy in May, 1916, he returned
to Hardin and assumed man
agement of the store when his
father, the late George Lam
mers, died in December of that
year. Gayle married Miss Ber-
dell Erickson of Reeder, N. D.,
in September, 1851, and she
also helps at the store at the
present time. They live at GIG
Crawford avenue.
Gayle'S hobbies are hunting
and fishing. He is a member of
the local posts of the Veter-
ans of Foreign Wars and the
American Legion, and also of
the Big Horn County Rod and
Gun club.
hammers store has been a
landmark of the city of Hardin
for many years. The business
was established in 1910 by
George hammers and his father,
B. J. Lammers, who had come
to this area in 1907 from Sher-
idan, Wyo. Fort Custer, located
on the rims east of what is
now Hardin, was still standing
when Mr.. hammers and his ia
ther came here. They forded
the Big Horn river just east of
the present bridge, Gayle re-
members his father telling him.
Mr.. hammers and his father
started a brick mill here and
turned out the bricks which
we're used for the old school
building and various other of
the older brick structures still
being used in Hardin.
In 1910, MIR. hammers estab-

and very nearly went broke
when the depression struck.
Mr.. hammers managed to
keep the business going, how
ever, and it has grown with
the times to its present proper
tions. A reminder of the old
days for Gayle is an office desk
still in use at the store, which
still has a slot marked "B. j.
LammerS", where mail for
Gayle's grandfather was kept.
Following the fire which de-
stroyed the frame portion of
the store in 1850, together with
apartments on the second story,
the doors were closed until
August of the same year, when
hammers store held a grand
opening in the brick portion of
the structure, which had been
rebuilt and remodeled into a
modern store which houses one
of Hardin's most unique bus
inesses today.

nue. and moved the store to
that. location, which the bus
mess occupied until March,
1850, when the frame portion of
the building was destroyed by
fire.
The original building had
been a city landmark. It had
served as a school house, a
church, a meeting hall, and as
quarters for several business
projects before it was purchased
py the .Lammers, who added to
the building with a brick struc-
ture at the rear, where the
present store is located.
Relating growth of the store,
as told to him by his late ia
Their, Gayle said that business
flourished about the time of
World War I, when Mr.. Lam
mers purchased horses for re-
sale to the U. S. Army. A corral
Tor the purpose was built on
the block and MIR. hammers
tended many horses in the
block which is now a part of
the business center of Hardin.
Also about 1917, when this
area was being rapidly settled,
MI. hammers had Is carpenters
employed making furniture, and
still they were unable to keep
pace with the heavy demand.
Business wasn't always good,
Gayle says. Following World
War I, MI. hammers had the
brick portion of the building
almost completely filled with
hides in which he was dealing
