MonsiignOr [. ].
Curtin Receives
PreIatiaI HOnors

On January 4th, at st. AIMS
Cathedral, Great Falls, Monsignor
c. ]. Curtin along with the four
other new Domestic Prelates was
solemnly invested with the in
sigma of his office by the Most
Rev. William j. Condor.
Previous to the investiture cere-
monies a banquet for the clergy
honoring the five M%onsignori was
held in the Meadow Lark Country
club. Present at it were the two
Bishops of Montana, Abbot Hunk
Ter, Seven Monsignori from Mon
tana's two D~ioceses, the Monsig-
nori-elect, and 100 other priests.
In the brief ceremony of the
Investiture Bishop Condor bless
ed the rochettaS, m~antolettas, and
birettas Of the recently elevated
Preiates and then placed them ON
each one. In his sermon on the
occasion, Bishop Condor stated
that christian education is the
hope of the world as it is the only
guarantee by which we in Mon
tana can continue to make prog
ress, and eventually raise a genera
ton of people we'll instructed in
faith - a credit to the state as
well as the church. Bishop Con-
don described the five new Mon
signori as having been among the
first to exercise the ministery in
this Diocese. He said, "they have
administered the SacramentS to
the pioneers of this area and have
helped build u mission
churches" The Bishop added, sun
der most difficult circumstances
they were devoted to the instruc-
ton of our children and the devel-
opment of our educational sys-
tenn" and he lauded them for "un-
usual service to the church in
eastern Montana" He called for an
awakening, a reSurgence of faith
warning, "or else evil days will
surely fall upon humanity" He
added that there are now in this
country evidences of renewed re-
Iigious spirit, and a demand fol
strengthening of the moral life
of the nation. ct is not the fl
nancial genius, nor the leader OF
society, nor the astute politician
but the simple of Christ's church
who hold in their hands the key
to the worlds progress"
Following the ceremony a pub
lie reception honoring the group
of five new Monsignori was helc
in the Rainbow Hotel. Civic dig
nitaries as well as townspeoplt
and well-wishers from many
towns in the diocese were present
Each of the new Monsignori spoke
briefly on what the honor mean
to him and his gratitude at being
chosen for the honor. Monsignol
Curtin returned to Sidney the fol
lowing day. May he live and en-
10y his new honor ad multos an
nos.

the 1854 Reveue Act" The new
law states that the farmers have
until Feb. l to file their 1855 in
come tax returns but not the pres
ent returns, which are for 1854.
Mr.. Williamson said that if you
are rs years old, you are free of
many of the income tax require
ments. Children under 10, and
over 10 if they r in school, are
included as dependents.
Mr.. Williamson said further that
the new law requires a penalty for
failure to file an estimate on the
returns from self employment.
Business losses he explained, in
the new law can be adjusted from
profits for several years back.
In regard to the depreciation
rule, a person is allowed to de-
duct about twice as much for a
new asset as for the same asset
when it becomes older because
the repair bill is correspondingly
greater for older assets. He also
stated that several changes have
been made in the social security
law.
MIR. Williamson's talk was very
timely and well received by the
club.
Guests for the day were Bill.

partment with Kenneth Chadder-
don, owner of Chad's apartments,
and entering with a pass key
they found him dead in bed. He
had last been seen Monday eve
ming, but as his work kept him

out the week.
MI. Peterson succeeded the late
Carl Lundhagen as travelling
freight agent here for the Great
Northern in March 1853 when the
former was advanced to the po-
sition of general freight agent at

here who were dismayed at the
announcement of his death.

cago, Feb. %, 1891, a son of dr.
and Mrs. Frank K. Peterson. He
remained in Chicago until he was
20, when he came to Montana
and homesteaded IS miles north of
Great Falls. The following year
he began working for the Great
Northern Railway.
He enlisted in the Army at Fl.
Benton, May IL, 1918 and served
as a mechanic with the headquar-
ters Co. of the 63rd Infantry. He
was a member of the American
Legion and the VIEW.

Fort Benton in 1923. He is also
survived by five children, Roger
j. of Richland, Wash. and Theo+
dore, Charles, Bren, and Quinton,
of Seattle, Wash; four brothers,
Frank of Havre, Theodore of Oak
land, Cal; Irving, of Great Falls,
and Russell of Milwaukee. One

Farmers Must
Apply For Sugar
Beet Acreage

Farmers who plan to grow sugar
beets in 1855 must submit a re-
quest for a "proportionate share
to the county ASC committee not
later than Feb. l, 1855, Chris Jo-
sephson, chairman of the Rich
land county ASC committee, an
nounced this week. In compliance
with the requirements of the Sug-
ar Act of 1948 the Secretary of
Agriculture has announced that
"proportionate shares will be es-
tablished in 1855. A proportion
ate share" is the Individual farms
share of the acreage needed to
produce enough beet sugar for
normal consumption and carry
over. An ALLEGATION of $1,000 acres
has been established in Montana.
Increased acreages of sugar beets
and larger than average yields
during the last two years have
increased sugar stocks to the
point where the 1855 crop must
be curtailed.
Forms on which farmers may
request proportionate shares for
the land which they will control
in 1855 are available at the coun-
ty ASC office or may be obtained
from fieldmen for the Holly Su-
gar Company which operates in
this county. Farmers should be
prepared to give legal description
or other Identification of the land
they will operate in 1855, since
a proportionate share will be es-
tablished for each farm. In order
to complete the necessary steps in
determination of final proportion
ate shares, all applications must
be received not later than Feb
ruary /.
Factory area fieldman, Roy Par
ten, will meet with the sugar beet
growers at the factory basement
on January II to January 81 from
8 a. m. to 5 p. m.

ney stopped the Coyotes 61-55.
Again in the Christmas Tourna-

ers this is bound to be a close
me Williston has plenty of
height and given the home court
advantage are expected to provide
as exciting a game as they did ov-

certain that Coach Hendrickson's
boys are not conceding a thing in
spite of suffering two previous
losses.
