LOCAL FLA WINNERS

Several members of the Brown
ing Chapter of Future Farmers of
America have returned from two
successful trips to fairs.
They first went to the Marias fair
at Shelby, and Immediately after.
wards to the Noreh Montana fair at
Great Falls.
AT both these fairs they displayed
the model farmstead that they had
quilt, to show the proper wiring for
the farm home and buildings. This
rather elaborate model and it's &C.
companying display boards was
worked out by large number of
boys in the Chapter, including the
Corkins brothers, Ken nd Gary, Don
Dubray, Leland Thomas, Mitchell
Runnlngcrane. This display took
first prize at both fairs as a booth
exhibit.
In addition the Chapter showed
usual variety of farm shop projects,
ihey also received several blue and
red ribbons on forage samples taken
from the Chapter test plot.
At the Marias fair they also dis.
played their new and rather out.
standing collection of various grain,
forage, noxious weeds and range
grass samples. While this type of
display is not new, the Chapters
present collection is outstanding
and somewhat unusual in that it is
all shown in special glass covered
boxes known as Kicker mounts.
ms type of mount permits the
samples to be handled for study pur-
poses without injury. loss of color,
or other injury.
AT the Great Falls fair the Chap
ter was surprised and delighted to
finish fourth in the Livestock judg-
ing contest. This spring the Chap
ter graduated its entire livestock
Judging team, and therefore enter
ed this contest with green" soph-
more group, and then due to haying
two OF this team ccould not attend.
Hugo johnson had to pick up two
other boys who had had no compel
tive experience. These two Future
Farmers were Ed Miles and Leon
ard Fontaine.
All in all the Chapter came out of
these two fairs with large number
OF place ribbons and about $3.50 in
prize money. Because of the dis
tances involved, the Chapter made
no attempt to enter any livestock
at either fair. All this prize.win-
ming material, as we'll as some prize
winning livestock, will be on display
at the Browning Junior Fair this
week

We Fooled En- AN,' Dresser
YeNs at Dodger Celebration
BY the Associated Press

| MILWAUKEE Sept. 12.-"ThiS
is a helluva ball club" a jubi-
liant Charley Dresser yelled over
the noise in the Dodgers club
house this afternoon after his
team clinched it's second straight
pennant.
I'VE fooled 'em ALL" the cocky
little Brooklyn skipper went on,
after his players, who had hoist
ed him to their shoulders at the
request Of photographers, low
cred him to the floor.
"They said we'd fold, but we
didn't-we got better This is
the greatest team I've ever man
aged"
Dresser accepted congratula-
tionS all around as the Dodgers
celebrated their pennant, gained
on So victory over the Braves
in their final appearance here
this year.
Actually the excitement in the
club house wasn't exceptional.
Most of the players apparently
accepted the pennant as some
thing that was bound to hap
pen. They went into a frenzy
only at the repeated requests of
photographers. When they got
at it, though, they put every
thing into it. During one of
the several routineS of hosting
Dresser into the air someone
slipped and the managers spikes
skidded on the concrete floor as
he fell heavily.
That was pretty good hook
slide, eh?" Dresser yelled as he
got to his feet.
Both Walter F.. O'MaIley,
Brooklyn president. and Warren
Giles, National League head,
were on hand.
"ThiS is the greatest BROOKLYN
team of all time" O'Malley told
a television audience in Brook
lyn.
Giles. shaking hands with
Dresser, said: Congratulations,
Charlie, you finished it up right"
Pitcher Russ Meyer, who came
to the Dodgers from Philadelphia
by trade last winter, pulled the
only miscue and it was well
coined with loud laughter. O'Mal-
ley, shaking hands with Meyer,
offered congratulations.
THANK you. Mr.. ONeill."
Meyer responded. Steve ONeill
is the Philadelphia manager for
whom Meyer played last year.
Dresser declined to discuss
World Series prospects, but init
mated he expected to give the
American League entrant-prob-
ably the Yankees-a good battle.
We'll give it all we've got"
Dresser said. I'm not going to
say we'll win it, but they'll know
/ they've been in a series"
