Miss Ruth E. Pearce, Extension
Clothing Specialist has been the
teacher for the school, showing the
latest methods of tailoring develop
ed to save time and turn out a
professional-looking suit or coat.
Viola Community Hall has been
the scene of the school, and ses-
sions have been held almost every
syeek since the first one on Feb

It's always fascinating to see a
pattern and a piece of fabric be-
come a well-tailored garment. Only
when you see it in the process do
you realize the many steps and
the important reinforcements or
interfacings that make it what it
is.
In addition to making one tai
1ored suit or coat, these women
are learning principles of tailoring
which they will be able to use in
making clothes for themselves and
for their families as well. Fitting,

In this class it has been especial
ly interesting to see how different
coats can look although they are
made from the same pattern. Mrs.
Arthur Hall, Milford; Mrs. ]. Hey
man Roosa, and Mrs. Walter
Winkler, Harrington, are making
three different versions of the
same pattern. Each one chose
fabric and color to compliment
herself and her wardrobe, and the
coats are distinctively different.
The topper is a favorite item,
and version of it are being made

Mrs. Robert ]. Kirby, Milford and
Mrs. Tilghman Outten, Harrington.
The suit is a perennial favorite

Little June Mannering bravely
underwent an operation for the re-
.moval of her tonsils last Wednes-
day at the Delaware Hospital. All
wish her a speedy recovery.
Spring must be here. We noticed
a lively game of baseball on the
sand lot on Saturday. These games
are sure to magnetic the boys and
keep them busy for several hours
at every opportunity. We could not
tell which side was winning, if
any, as the noise was loud enough
to make one think that an airplane
had exploded there or something as
terrible. 1t was the boys privilege,
however.
How in the world did Grandma
run the kitchen without wax paper
and aluminium foil?
Another definition of the good
old days-when we used more
kerosene than gasoline.
The average person has 12,OOO,-
100000 brain cells, and uses IL OF
them while driving car.
The Good Old Days-When the
only vehicle which could hold So
worth of gasoline was a big truck.
A lot of people not only think
the world owes them a living but
they consider themselves preferred
creditors.
Instead of stepping up the horse
power of the car, something Should
be done to increase the brain pow
-er of the driver.
Do you know how to keep pota-
toes from sprouting, a fellow

them is one way.
The Rev. H. M. Parks preached
a good sermon on Sunday morning
and many enjoyed it. The attend
sance was also excellent. He said
in part-"Jesus Cleans Up The
Church" Jesus first act after en-
tering the city was to clean up the
church. If there was any virtue
anywhere it should have been in
Herod's Temple. The city's weakest
point was her religion, her hypo-
crisy. He cast out them that
bought and sold and reminded them
of scripture. This reminds us of
the guilt of all who desecrate His
House today. Industry will give us
breed but only, the church will
save our souls. He told them they
had made it den of thieves. 1t
cannot be saved without it. 1t
saved England in the 18th Century;
France in 18th Century. The clean
er we keep her the better she will
do her work. She is the one institu-
ton that shall last forever. She is
pledged to fit dirt and sin in any,
one of any kind, until Jesus comes
again. When she fails to do this she
ceases to be a church. We need to
keep her clean dressed up as a
bride for the wedding. And Jesus
went into the temple of God. If he
came here what would he find.
A hunt for weasels and calling
for several farmers to join the hunt
was an odd feature in this locality
back in 1902. For a long time
weasels had devoured many chick
ems and the farmers felt their los
ses very keenly and decided to do
something about it. They said the
little animals went around in
packs, sometimes as high as 100
of them travelling in colony style
and raiding about every chicken
house in sight. Farmers checked
the raids of these animals to a
great extent for long time, by
shooting them on sight.

HUNGRY HORSE - The veal
1854 at Hungry Horse Dam saw {
total of 47,863 persons take the
35-minute guided tours through
the powerhouse during the May
to Oct. 10 season.
Harrel Yadon, Bureau special
services officer, said that the visi-
tor total included 36,872 adults
$3.50 children under IL, and l.
102 persons in civic and special
educational groups.
He estimates that another 100,-
900 persons saw the dam without
taking the powerhouse tours that
start from the top of the dam and
drop by elevators 452 feet to the
powerhouse level.
Hungry Horse is located four
miles off U. S. highway No. 2, and
IL miles from the west entrance
to Glacier National Park.
Guides this year were four Col
umbia Falls high school teachers,
Carl Launer, William
Bruey, Ed Gilk, and Douglas Fol-

The 1854 visitors came from ev-
cry state of the union, all Cana

Slick N. F. Road
Jeopordizes Men

Most neglected and as a result
dangerous stretch of road in Flat
head county is believed to be the
two miles from Columbia Falls to
the AAC plant.
Flathead county road crew
functions have not included sand
ing as a matter of policy.
The North Fork road carrying
traffic to the aluminium plant and
loggers, and without sanding, has
provided an extreme safety haz-
ard.
A result is petition being cir
culated for submittal to Flathead
county commissioners requesting
sanding. On one hand there is the
commissioners and their budget
and on the other safety
of men.

Air General SoYs
No DEVELOPMENT

Discussion in the Flathead rec
emily has indicated that the All
Force was considering locating q
radar station near Columbia Falls
Such a development seems log
ical in view of the valley opening
from the north, the industrial dew
elopments here and south, and dis
tance to other radar stations and
bases.
Senator Mike Mansfield received
a letter from Joe w. Kelly, major
general USAF, director, legislative
liaison. The Hungry Horse News
contacted the senator who in turn
asked the Air Force.
The generals letter to Mansfield
reads in part: 81 can find no in
dication of an Air Force require
ment for an office building in the
vicinity of Columbia Falls, Mon
tana, or for any installation in
that area which would employ
about so people. The visit (of Cap
tain Matthews) may have been of
an exploratory nature prior to the
presentation of the requirement to
Headquarters, United States Air
Force. However, both the Corps
of Engineers of the Department of
the Army, which acts as our con-
agent, and our procure
ment offices in the Columbia Falls
area indicate that they know of
no requirement for such facil-
ity."

as complete a "No" as one can ex-
pect, even though there does seem

.'54 Setting New
Timber Cut Record

KALISPELL-Timber sales in
Flathead National Forest continued
at record pace during 1854. 1858
was a record year with a cut of
75,380,000 board feet, and the in
dicated cut for 1854 is 100000
board feet. Return to the U. S.
treasury will exceed 100000.
Previous record year according
to George Weyerman, Flathead
National Forest assistant supervis-
or in charge of timber manage
ment was 1852 with a cut of 55,-
100000 board feet.
1854 is also setting another rec
ord with 134,000,000 board feet of
federal timber sold, compared to
the next best year, 1852 with 85,-
100000 sold.
Increased cutting of national
forest timber to combat the spruce
bark beetle infestation as well as
improved lumber markets is Great
ing this success of record years.
For the first time in history, the
Flathead is seeing timber cut on
dOONC ll1G oQS
yield of 60,000,000 board feet a
year. This is the volume of timber
that the federal lands are believed
capable of sustaining year after
year.
Removing the spruce bark beetle
infested timber changed the pic
ture. Of the Flathead's 134, 100000
board feet sold this year, all but
100000 was in spruce beetle
infested sections, Weyerman COM
mented.
Most effective control of the
tree destroying beetles is to re-
moves infested trees to mills. This
reduces the source of the infesta-
ton as well as salvaging the re-
source.
Logging and numbering in the
Flathead employees more than
l 800. Over half the timber came
from federal lands.
LAUNDERING in the Flathead this
year and last topped agriculture.
Estimated farm income for 1854

The present Assembly of God
church on U. S. highway No. 2 was
erected in 1948 with Rev. Clyde
Walden, now of Deer Lodge, pas
tor. Rev. Leo B. Hinton, Belling-
ham, Wash, and resident of Butte
for IL years, came to Hungry Horse
as camp caretaker in 1948 and be-
came pastor of the church in 1850.
He worked as a carpenter at
Hungry Horse Dam, and has as
sisted building a number of homes
in the area. Pastor Hinton is
president of the Hungry Horse
PTA this year.
Mr.. and Mrs. Hinton attended
high school together and were
married in 1881. Their four sons
are Leo, Jr., 81; Harry, is. Freddie
IL, and Larry 9. Leo is 6'7, and
Harry, 6'2 had polio in his arms
and chest two years ago, but he's
made a fine comeback. Mrs. Hin
ton is chief operator at the Hun
cry Horse telephone exchange of
Pacific Power and Light.
The Assembly of God church
was started in 1910 in Missouri
by a group of former members
of the Holiness Methodist church.
There is considerable singing in
their services and the hymns have
some of the modern tempo.
1t is a working, active faith. The

has go churches In Montana.
Hungry Horse has Presbyterian
services in the Bureau conference
hall in connection with the Martin
City Hungry Horse Community
Presbyterian church at Martin
City. Reverend Hinton and Rev.
Elwyn Tesche of the Presbyterian
church are good friends.
Hungry Horses only actual
house of worship is the Assembly
of God. Hungry Horse Dam was
completed in 1858. The census of
1850 showed 1900 in the commu-
nifty, most of whom have left. The

day had 110 at Sunday School.
