MARCH OF DIMES
 GOES OVER S3,000

Answering the emergency call for assistance to the National Foundation for Infantile Paraly- sis, valley residents to date have contributed $3,152.24, Ed Smith, emergency fund campaign official, announced today.
 In addition to this gratifying figure is sum of Sl0194 which Mrs. Mary Schlesinger of the Butte area announced she will turn over to the emergency fund. "A little child shall lead them" was dramatically proven during the 1854 Valley Fair. Mrs. Sch lesinger displayed four model houses, all made of candy, with sign indicating she would give whatever sum of money was paid for the houses to the emergency fund. A little boy visitor rgreted he didn't have though money to buy a house, but offered to give few pennies toward the emer- gency fund. He dropped his pen nies through the wire pinned around the display and started the sum that finally totaled over S100 at the close of the fair. Mrs. Schlesinger still has the houses and said she would like to find another place to display them in order to raise additional money for the fund.
 Money contributed this week came from: The Experiment Sta ton office, S57; Velveteen All Club, $15; Eska area, collected by Mrs. Harvey Hiber, S28. Also con- tributions from MT. and Mrs. Oli- yer Onkka, Mir. and Mrs. George Brewster, MT. and Mrs. Howard Estelle; John Bugge, Rev. and Mrs. Brian Cleworth, MT. and Mrs. R. J. Heddles, MT. and Mrs. Tom Moffitt, MT. and Mrs. Marve Slaughter, Mir. and Mrs. Merritt C. Long, the Beaters All club, and Dolores Cottrill.
 Collection bottles set out in various points in the city have not yet been picked up, Smith said. Money from these will be ad- ded to the total, along with addi- tional sums yet to come in. A final total is expected by next week. --.
 AIS Taxi has donated a lot in the Felton Subdivision which will be awarded at the Halloween dance next month. Proceeds from the lot will go toward the fund.

Muchenfunz' Leave
 For Unulukeef Friday

Fred and Sara MarcnentSslZ De- gin their trip to Unalakeet Fri day of this week when they leave Palmer for Anchorage where they will board a plane for Unalakeet. The local artists plan a years documentary work on sled dogs and will remain in the Eskimo village until next September when they plan to re- turn to their home at High Ridge for a short time before leaving for a Stateside lecture tour.
 During their stay at Unalakeet the Machentanz' will live in To- by 12-foot sod-covered log cabin, the smallest in the village The cabin will be heated by drift wood gathered along the beach, supplimented by wood brought in from the forest. The Eskimos are embarrassed that 1 will take my wife to such a small cabin, MT. Machentanz said. They feel he is losing face" not having a much larger home. Thermopane windows have been installed in the cabin to permit a constant study of the sled dogs.
 Seego, the Machentanz' fam ous white sled dog, will soon be father of a litter of pups, The female is being flown to Unala- keet, prior to the great event, and a years study of the pups growth, habits, and work will be made.
 In addition an adult team of dogs, being used as they have during the past 50 years will be studied. This use of the sled dog is fast disappearing in the north land. Fred said
 Twenty five hundred pounds of dog feed has been shipped to the village, for the dogs the couple will be using. In addition food supplies for themselves has been shipped. The food includes staples which will be augmented with fish, seal liver and other game.
 The couples latest book, Where Else but Alaska, with the story by Sara Machentanz and the illustrations by Fred, is being well received and was re- gently given New York publicity by Scribner's, who published the book.

Find Body of Shelby
Youth in River

ESSEX-Seven-day search for
Charles P Wrighter, Jr., "a, of
Shelby ended Monday afternoon
when his body was found in the
Flathead rivers Middle Fork about
five miles above u. S. highway
No. 2 and near where he was last
seen Aug. 80.
The body was found in a deep
hole with the water about 16 feet
deep. Death was caused by drown
ing, according to Flathead Coroner
Harry Campbell. Wrighter appar-
emily was climbing along the steep
rocky shore, and fell off the cliff
like bank, and then into the water.
Two airplanes and a helicopter
were used in the search as well as
about 80 men on foot and horse
back up the Big river, as the Mid
die Fork is known in this area
south of No. 2.
Funeral services We're in Shelby.
Wrighter is survived by his mo-
ther, Mrs. Charles Wrighter, own
er of the California Apartments
in Shelby, and a sister. He had
completed his junior year in engi-
neering at Montana State college
last spring. Wrighter's father, was
an active Gilman in the Shelby
area, and is dead.
The Shelby Promoter related
that Wrighter was on a fishing
trip with Lou Neeley and son,
Doral, and became separated from
his companions about noon Mon
day (Aug. 30), and continued up
stream on Big River from point
about three miles from Bear creek
and U. S. No. 2. The trio were to
meet at pm, at the highway, but
Wrighter didn't show up.
Neeley is a Shelby contractor for
whom Wrighter worked. He noti-
fled Sheriff Dick Walsh at Kalis-
pell early Tuesday, after he and
his son searched part of the night.
A larger group searched Tuesday, |
and then Wednesday the Flathead |

163rd Infantry PIan
Reunion i'm KolispeII

KALISPELL-The eighth an
nual 163rd Infantry reunion will
be held in Kalispell Sept. 18 and
19, according to Nelson Story III,
president of the 163rd Infantry
Association. Registration of guests
will begin at 10 am, Sept. 18 at
the Kalispell Elks club to COM
mence the two-day program Of
festivities.
Secretary of the association is
Glen o. Stockdale, 1850 Hallowell
Lane, Billings, to whom all re-
quests for accommodations and in
formation should be addressed.
Distinguished visitors expected
to attend this years reunion are
General Douglas Macarthur, Gen
eral Jens A. Doe, General Tom E.
Rilea, Governor Hugo Aronson and
General S. H. Mitchell, Adjutant
General of Montana.
The annual 163rd Infantry Re-
union was instituted in 1947 when
the first get-together of former
163rd Infantry World War II vet
erans was held in Bozeman. Since
that time, similar reunions have
been held in Billings, Helena, Liv-
ingston, Great Falls, Havre and
Sidney.
The purpose of these reunions
has been to provide a means
whereby former veterans of the
l63rd Infantry, Montana's own in
fantry regiment of World War II
fame, can get together to renew
old acquaintances and re-live ex-
periences of the late war. Past re-
unions have succeeded in bringing
together many out-of-State veter-
ans of the 163rd as well as those
now located in Montana.
The 163rd Infantry, formerly of
the Montana National Guard, was
inducted into Federal service on
Sept. Is, 1850. Prior to the out
break of World War II, the regi-
ment was stationed at Fort Lewis,
Wash. Following Pearl Harbor, the
163rd Infantry became one Of the
first u. S. combat units to be sent
overseas. During its four years OF
service in the Pacific theatre, the
163rd wrote a brilliant chapter in
the history of American arms. In
their first engagement at Sanan-
anda, New Guinea, the men of the
163rd routed a hitherto undefeated
japanese army and marine force
in a manner that earned them a
presidential citation and the high
est commentators of General
Eichelberger. The regiment car
ried this tradition through its la
ter battles at Aitape, New Guinea;
Wake Island, New Guinea; Sarm,
New Guinea; Biak Island; Zam-
boango, Philippine Islands; Jola
Island, Philippine Islands, and
Davao, Philippine Islands. Includ-
ed in the above campaigns were
five amphibious assaults.
Perhaps one of the highest COM
pliments paid to the regiment
came from its Japanese enemy who
referred to the 163rd as the But
cherers" in broadcasts from Radio
Tokyo. Although intended to be
uncomplimentary by the enemy,
this nickname attests to the effec-
tiveness of the 163rd in the Pacific
campaign and the manner in which |
its soldiers lived up to their motto:
"Men, Do Your Duty"
