Otis Waters
Reappointed

Governor J.. Hugo Aronson an
nounced from Helena Tuesday re-
appointment Of Otis S. Waters,
Richey, to the Montana. Highway
Commission and the appointment
of S. N. Halverson of Kalispen to
succeed T. J. Landry, Kalispell.
The four-year terms of Waters and
Halverson will expire February 1,
1859.
Landry, a Republican, was adj
vised by Governor Aronson by
letter, that he was unable to ap-
point him as "terms Of the law
require that not more than three
members of the commission can
be from the same political party"
Waters is a rancher and an
implement dealer in Richey, and
with this appointment begins his
second term on the commission.
He originally was appointed to a
vacancy in 1858 by Aronson.
The appointment of Waters is
highly gratifying to this area. Well
Known in eastern Montana, he is
considered very well qualified for
the important highway commits
sion post. The board is entirely
comprised of prominent Montana
citizens, vitality interested in bet
ter roads for the state.

State of Montana did not come

foundation program was worked
out by our citizens committee af-
ter long and careful study. The
principles of this system of school

change in the system of school
support would indicate a lack of

integrity of our school board mem

may I remind you they are tax

Montana ranks near the top

the top among the forty eight
states in the tax per capita paid.

Need for Ground Observers

The Ground Observers Corps has a vital mission. 1t is charged,
along with the Air Forces radar, with the detection of enemy air
craft which might attempt to send an atom bomb hurting down on
one of our major targets.
The degree to which the people of each city and town participate
in the air defense network determines the amount of protection our
vital areas will be afforded.
Special mention goes to the following organizations: Daughters of
the Nile, The Womans club, Sidney Homemakers, Women of the
Moose, and Order of Eastern Star with the five highest percentages of
attendance.
The following are to be commended on their hours of service to
the people of the United States Darwin Darr 81 hours; Mrs. Fac
Sissel So hrs; Mrs. Lucy Fisher 81 hours; Mrs. John Wabmn, 81
hours; Mrs. Thelma FITZGERALD SO and several others with "a to 80
hours each.
Let's ALL give two hours per month and come up to the rating
that will put us in the class that two million other observers are CIV
ing to their country. Your Post Supervisor, Howard j. Sissel.

School Financing Facing
Crisis; Local Board Urges Support

Because of the statewide crisis
in public school finance, the Sid
ney Board of School Trustees has
authorized and directed the pub
LEGATION of the following article.
The board urges every citizen to
contact his legislative representa-
tive and senator and other legisla-
tors with whom his opinion bears
weight.
To all patrons of Sidney Public
Schools:
A serious crisis exists in the
financing of Montana's public
schools. The heart of the contro-
versy involves the philosophy and
principle of the right of each
Montana school child to an equal
educational opportunity and the
necessary state support in equal
izing school costs among school
districts and counties erich OF
poor).
We believe in the fundamental
principles underlying the Montana
foundation program for the sup
port Of public education. We like
wise believe that the foundation
program is the most outstanding
Montana school legislation Of Tux
past fifty years and that any at
tempt to reduce its effectiveness,
would be a direct violation of thl
will of the people and the good o
education.
Because of increasing enroll
ments and other existing factors
we believe the foundation program
and the. states obligation must b
correspondingly increased as out
lined by the Montana Schoo
Boards association, Montana Par
nt-Teachers association, Montan
Education association and tn
Montana State Department O
Public instruction. Unless this j
done, the local taxpayer will hav
l to pay with larger levies on prop
, erty. For example in the future
/: Sidney taxpayer would have I
pay 80 mills extra if the stat
, equalization aid is abolished. Tn.
year, Sidney schools are receivin
!. $87,629.00 from the State equals
s cation.
/; Because the state general fun
I is being called on from man
agencies to finance services d.
: manded by the people, there
: just not enough money availab
in state funds for the necessal
!; state obligation of one-third of IL
cost of financing public educatio
d Rather than burden the proper-
taxpayer who is already assumir
a big load, the solution lies in {
n increased state income tax whic
will place this cost on those WI
IS are fortunate enough to be alb
g to pay for the program.
We also urge you to support Il
equalization of assessments legi
lation now under study. Unless Il
ratio of assessed value to mark
T value is made uniform througho1
the state there will be large Sc;
ments within the state which w

SIDNEY 7s. ST.. MARY,s so

Saturday night was a different
story for the Eagles as they had
to come from behind many times
before the final buzzer in down
ing the rugged Saints from Bis
marck in a non-conference game.
st. Mary's held quarter leads in
this one 14-12, 1929 and 49-48.
Neither team through the first
three periods was able to build a
commanding lead. The Saints led
22-16 in the first half but Sidney
quickly closed the gap. In the third
stanza the lead changed hands
practically everytime a two point
er was scored.
Then in the fourth with guard
Anderson furnishing the spark
and Frost and Sherman scoring
eight each the Eagles poured in
rs counters to provide the lopsid-
ed margin.
Again Frost led the scoring, this
time with Is points. Right behind
him came Sherman with 10.
High for st. Mary's was Gene
Schneider with 81 and Bob Her
rick with 18.
Frost again controlled the de-
fensive rebounds. A lot of i'm
provement was shown by guards
Pat Kelly and Jerry Smith. Both

Eagles At Lewistown And Billings
This Week End; Win Two Last Week

Coach KangaS and 10 players
will leave Sidney Friday morning
for the long trip to Lewistown.
In regards to these two games,
Coach Kangas said, eve didn't
have much trouble with either
Billings or Lewistown when they
played here. However, we had the
home court advantage and our
shooting was exceptionally good.
They will have this advantage
this week end and could give us
plenty of trouble. Lewistown lost
two to league leading Missoula
last week but they showed a lot
of improvement and in fact led
much of the time"
The Sidney herald., 1955-01-27
SIDNEY IS, BILLINGS So

Sidney continued their high
scoring ways last Friday as they
easily downed the Billings Broncs
$3.50.
The locals held quarter leads Of
25-18, 41-3O and 69-51.
The Broncs were never in the
game after the first period.
Thanks to a small guard by the
name Of Ed Templin, Billings kept
pace with the winners the first
few minutes. Templin swished six
long shots and scored II of his
teams first 18 points. However,
from then on the most he could
get were four points as his hot
streak did a complete about face.
On the other hand Sidney pour
ed it on with five players scoring
in the double figures.
Forward Chuck Frost found his
scoring eye dumping in 20 big
points to take scoring honors for
the night. Big Chuck also showed
exceptional improvement in his
rebound work getting his share
especially on defense.
In scoring he was followed by
forward Virgil Hundtoft with Is,
Guard David Johansen with Is,
Center Frank Sherman with IL
and guard Grin Anderson with
10. A lot of points for a high
school quintet.
