that. this girl still is Snowman
enough for six singers and she
soon won this audience.
Her timing apparently was a
bit off. however, which was quite
natural under the circumstances.
She went a little beyond her
peak and into a letdown before
she brought Mr.. Johnston on.
This made his entrance no less
than sensational. at least with
the feminine contingent on hand,
and he followed UP by running
handily through a parade Of
popular songs.
It was when Hildegarde came
back for the duo work that the
possibilities of this pairing be-
came obvious. AS they sang TO-
gether-this was only the second
time before an audience-they
obviously warmed to each other
and started to become a team
instead of two singers. 1t became
quite clear that Manager Anna
Sosenko was in her right mind
when she decided that Hide
garde needed a partner named
Johnny Johnston.
When she sets out to enter
tain, Hildegarde entertains. and
Mr.. Johnston is just the young
man to help her do it. If tenn
permanent doesn't pop up, this
can be one Of the slickest acts
on the cabaret circuit.

Junior member Of the trio is

Carl Betz. It was this young

night the victim refused to

experience of this sort, it turns
out, Is just the thing to give a

The average mortal characters

cannot compare with the central

at the climax Of a gloomier fort

Much more pertinent is the
fact that Walter Slezak and his

despatched to administer comedy
relief by q higher. kinder provi-

is a milestone in the professional
life of Hildegarde, the Milwaukee
girl who parlayed Darling. Je

incompatible career.
Hildegarde has taken on a
partner. A solo performer for 10
these many years, she is now
singing duets with Johnny john
ston, movie. stage and TV singer.
BY now the act. which is playing
its first date anywhere at the
Statler Embassy Room, should
be smoothed out considerably.
When this reporter arrived on
opening night for the second
show there was a strange air
hanging over the Embassy Room.
It seemed as If disaster had just
struck and none of the victims
had yet recovered sufficiently to
get about aiding the wounded.

l BELIEVE a ton-mi1e. tax on
trucks would be a fair method to
raise more revenue for highway
building, since it is our heavier traf-
fic that is so hard on our roads.
1t also equalizes the tax according to
how much truck is used. The tax
on diesel fuel should also be doubled
IN relationship to the gasoline tax.
as gallon of diesel fuel usually does
the work of 2 gallons Of gasoline.
1t seems that there should also be
some provision that trucks and
buses which pass through or drive
In and out of the state should be
made to pay their fair share of either
gasoline or diesel fuel tax instead of
fueing up in other states where the
fuel is cheaper and passing through
without possibly paying anything for
the use of the roads.-ArnoId Lind

Limit Tax Refund

Having spent better than 20 years
IN the State Highway Engineering
Department and County Surveyors
Office combined, I have had access
to many meetings and discussions on
this topic.
l do not favor putting more book
keeping into collecting more gaso-
line taxes or increasing taxes above
the present level. Rather, I favor
putting stop to the state law which
says In effect, eff you live in the
= city you need only pay bridge levy
taxes. You don't need to pay road
taxes"
Since we now have many farmers
living in town (due largely to con-
sohdation of schools and retirement
why should not every taxpayer liv-
ing within the city limits pay road
tax as well as bridge tax?

TOn-MiIe Justified

YES, MONTANA NEEDS better
roads but money is the big question.
We are already paying 6 cents
gallon state tax on gasoline and L
think that is enough. Those big
trucks are the ones that are hard
on our highways. I don't believe that
they are paying their share of the
wear and tear on the roads. 1t seems
to me that ton-nile tax on trucks
is justified.-A. M. Sudan. Blaine

In 1853, the Farmers Union Central
Exchange completed 100000 expan-
sion and modernization program of their
refinery at Laurel, Montana.
This project included building the man.
moth catalytic Cracker shown in the
photograph. This unit, towering high
above the refinery, 'Esqueezes'' more high
grade gasoline and other products from a
barrel of crude oil
The catalytic cracker together with
other new equipment and improvements
boosted the capacity of the Laurel refn-
cry. 1t now turns out more than $12 ,000,-
900 worth of petroleum products each
year.
The benefits of the Laurel operation are
felt from one end of Montana to the other.
First, Montana farmers are supplied with
petroleum products of the highest quality.
Secondly, since the 300, 900 farmers who
use these products also own the refinery,
the savings that it makes belong to them
and are distributed to them.
By reducing the net cost of petroleum
products, big item of expense on mech
anized Montana farms, the Laurel refinery
helps farmers operate more profitable :.
helps to keep Montana prosperous state.
