APGAR-HeadquarterS men are
working tearing down the old two
story log Apgar house. "It will
give us a better view" says Eddie
Brewster "but after all we hate tt
see the old land mark go. 1t ha:
stood there a long time"
The park bought Apgar house
and ever since it has been used tc
house government people until las
fall. Bob Sund and family were
the last to live in the house.
Teacher of Apgar school, Mrs
Leona Harrington left for Summer
school Western Montana College OF
Education, Dillon, Saturday. Toe
bad to leave the park when it is
so beautiful, soft green of the trees,
blue sky and snowy mountain.
We are sorry that the Melletts
are moving. The Tidrick house,
where they have been living has
been sold and Melletts are moving
to the headquarters house, former
ly occupied by the Stevens family.
Apgar will miss the Melletts.
Rae Marie Price is keeping our
turtle and four fish this summer.
Bea Washburn, Mrs. Greenwalt
and Dorothy Brewster are keeping
the plants. The big ivy plant be-
longing to Alice Wiles, will go into
Brewsters cafe. 1t has decorated
our school walls for the last sew
eral winters.
Rae Marie Price is working in
the gift shop at West Glacier.
Donna Brewster left for girl
scouts.
CREEK FLOWING FULL
Little creek that has been ram
paging into Mcdonald creek is
really called Apgar creek on the
park maps, Blondy Sunell tells us.
The Sunells new motel is located
on this creek and the large picture
windows give a nice view of the
mountains. The motel is in the fin
al stages of completion.
For the last two winters the
Dick Tyrees have lived in one of
Washburn's cabins. When tourists
start coming they move to West
Glacier, this year in the Ted Fe-
land house. We hope they come
back again next fall.
Drifted into McToshes' the other
day and saw my first television.
It's about time. Thought it very
interesting and enjoyed it.
Jackie Washburn went across
the yard with a great big fish the
other day. Caught it by the bridge.
Something ran across the road
about so feet from where a group
Of children were playing. Not sure
what it was, we all slipped down
very quietly to where the little
animal had crossed the road. Sure
as suspected it was a mar
zen. Now, we are sure that is what
we saw in tree one day. Too
arge for a squirrel, it sat on a
imb of tree. facing us, all hunch-
I'd up.
CALENDAR TO QUEEN
Apgar school was pleased when
Mrs. Jex, of England sent the
unior high calendar to the Queen.
We think it very fine calendar.
Mrs. Jex sent us English maga-
ines, pussy willows and shared
Ter birthday with us by sending
lower seeds.
One morning about week be-
ore school was out we were burn
nough to withhold power from
hungry Horse for Montana and
allow the payrolls of managing,
perating and maintaining the
1ontana transmission system to go
} another state.
Likewise, serious thought should
e given to the Libby Project now
oming up. Power from the Libby
roject should be reserved for the
tate of Montana, precisely as it
as for Hungry Horse. Moreover,
'me provisions should be made
! the Libby appropriation where
Y Montana will be assured of its
ir share of the federal payroll
sulting from the operating and
aintenance of the transmission
stem to be built in Montana to
rry Libby Dam power. Other
ise, why else should Montana
tizens go all out for these big
deral projects, if the long run
nefits are to be unequally di-
ded, with Montana getting the
ort end of the deal.
