NEVER UNDERESTIMATE the pow
er of book!
Today Montanans who follow the
highways to Helena and to the fine new
Veterans and Pioneers Memorial Build
ing that houses the Historical Society of
Montana little realize that discussion
arising over a notwithstanding just
as Montana became a territory would
result in the founding of that historical
society and today's fruition.
There were young men, wise and
strong, who came among the early adj
venturers to the great Northwest in
those gold-rush days and among them
were Granville Stuart and his brother
James. Soon Granville, just 80, was
trying his hand at book to tell of the
good things that might be found in
Montana. In fact, he might well be
called Montana's first Chamber of
Commerce secretary, for he felt the
compulSion to write of this country as
he saw it. And write he did, with his

the Society for Feb. Is, 1865, as duly
announced in the only paper of the ter
ritory, the Montana Post, published
since August of the previous year. Only
Thompson, Hosmer, Sanders and Gran
vile Stuart were present and another
meeting was called for the next month.
Sanders was elected president of the
group and plans were made to raise
funds for the Society.
Judge Hosmer set the ball rolling by
offering to give lecture at the Union
Church the next Wednesday evening,
March 8, on the subject of DIR. Kane
Admittance was 81 and the venture
must have been off to good start, for
the Montana Post of March IL reports
that "A most intelligent audience lis
tened with the deepest attention, and
loudly applauded the learned gentle
man at the close. !" So successful it must
have been that Judge Hosmer agreed
to give another lecture on Thursday
next, the subject this time to be James
Fenimore Cooper"

ENGELHARD JUNIORS TO
PRESENT PLAY DEC. STH

On Wednesday night, December
8, at 7:3O, the Junior Class of En-
gelhard High School will present
the play, 1.-The Whole TRUTH" by
William D. Fisher, in the Engel-
hard School auditorium.
Two hours of laughter will be
presented by the cast, which is
composed of Paul Gibbs as Mr..
Martin, father and business man;
Beverly Williams, his scatter
Drained but fashionable wife; Bob
by Wise as Johnny Martin; Merle
Ann Harris as Elizabeth Martin,
their 19-year-old daughter; Della
Neal as Helen Martin, Mr.. Mar
tins 40-year-old adventurous sis
ter; Franklin Swindell as Rever-
end Teasle, pastor of local subur-
ban church ;Speight Burrus as 6.
Whitford Mundort, a business as
sociate of Mr.. Martin; LaRue Dud-
ley as Aunt Mat Worth, Mrs.
Martins wealthy aunt; Jerry
Spencer as Tom De North, the
sweetheart of Elizabeth Martin;
Nelva Berry as Lucille Armitage,
Johnny's sweetheart; Bradley Ber-
ry as Johnson, the Martins butler;
and Jo> Anne Hooper as Harriet,
the Martins maid.
Perhaps if the Reverend Teasle
had not preached the sermon on
the desirability of always telling
the truth, the whole thing might
never have happened. AS it was,
Mrs. Martin heard the sermon and
decided that from then on she and
her entire family wouldn't even
tell little white lie.
"The Whole Truth" causes
countless complications, only to
lead to a happy conclusion through
many mad-cap situations and much
rib-cracking dialogue.

Terraces Can Be Bio Asset for Entertaining
By Betty Lenohcn

Terraces have become an i'm
portant part Of today's homes.
Tens of thousands Of families will
spend some Of their most
pleasant hours on them this
summer.
Although informality is the
keynote to terrace living and
entertaining, this space needs
Just as much care and attention
to detail in its planning as do
indoor areas.
It's location, the materials for
it, the furniture. even the place
ment of trees for shade, are i'm
portant elements to consider.
A common fallacy is a belief
that a corner of the lawn can
serve as a terrace. With any
amount of use, the grass on such
a space will soon suffer and be-
fore the summer is over un-
slightly bare spots will most
likely develop.
A surfacing material is there
fore an essential requirement for
a terrace. Different types will
blend in with adjacent lawn. A
tiled terrace will dry quickly
after shower, so that rains will
not put it out of commission for
several days.
When the picture window of a
home is turned to the back of
the lot instead Of the front, the
logical location for the terrace
is an extension from the window.
If the terrace must be Separted
from the house, try to locate it at
one side of the lot, so that it will

Some families want an elaborate
one, and are willing to spend
several week ends building it.
But as simple an arrangement
as two large rocks to support
a grill is satisfactory too, and
may suit ones tastes even better.

until the newly planted trees
come to the rescue.
The family may want to take
evening meals on the terrace, or
to entertain informally there.
If so, a barbecue is in order.

not cut up the area and make 1t
seem smaller.
A wide variety Of excellent
furniture is available for terraces.
Follow the same rules that apply
to furnishing a room; avoid mix
ture of types and put comfort
uppermost. Consider the effects
of weather-will the pieces have
to be moved indoors at every
threat of a storm?
Shade is important for a ter
race. Locate it near a tree. If
possible. If not, plant a quick
growing tree or two near 1t, and
