approximately 1000 square feet.
To supplement the waterholes con-
struction and attempt to reduce
the number of waterholes needed,
springs located are to be cleaned
to improve the waterflow.
AS a holding factor during late
winter and early spring, salt, both
block ard coarse, will be distribut-
ed in an effort to supplement the
inineral requirements of deer.
Every effort is being made by
the Ohio Division of Wildlife to in
crease forest game species in
southern and southeastern Ohio
which. at one time, had the largest
deer population in the state. Con-
trary to popular thinking, large
solid tracts of timber are not con-
sidered good deer habitat. Great
ing openings, developing water
holes and other practices to be car
ried out will be more attractive to
grouse and squirrels as well as
deer.

Work Stoppages
Up For April

There was about one-third more
strike idleness in Ohio in April
than i'm April of last year, State
Industrial Relations Director Mar
garet A. Mahoney announced to-
day
Idleness reached 10000 man
days in April, as a result of A
strikes which idled some $4,000
workers.
Miss Mahoney said the idleness
was more than double what it was
in March but that such an increase
is seasonal. Contract Examinations
bring a rash of stoppages every
April, she noted.
The record showed two strikes
during the month which idled 1900
or more workers. One was a two
day wildcat strike of the Goodyear
Aircraft plant In Akron, in which
as rany as 10000 were out. The
other was a lengthy strike by
truck drivers in the clay products
region of eastern Ohio. Peak idle
ness in that strike passed 1000
workers.
Topping the eight major Ohio
metropolitan areas was Cincinnati
with $4,000 man-days lost in April.
At the other extreme were Column
bus and Toledo with no strikes re-
ported for the month. A long
strike of about 100 bakery drivers
largely accounted for Cincinnati's
high idleness.
The other cities had the follow
ing record: Akron, $4,000 man.
days; Cleveland, $1,000 man-days;
Canton. 5000 man-days; Youngs-
town 1900 man-days, and Dayton,
900 man-days.

SPORTS
Club Makes Good
Use Of License
Writing Fees

A recent report, fled with the
Ohio Division of Wildlife, gives an
excellent example of how the
writing fees from the sale of hunt
ing and fishing licenses are being
put to good use by the Central
Ohio Anglers, and Hunters Club
of Columbus, Ohio.
The club distributed 465 COM
plete sets (ten books each) of the
True-To-Life Stories, written by
the late DR.. r. w. Eschmeyer, one
of Americas foremost wildlife
authorities. These books were pre-
sented to all elementary schools,
both public and Parochial, in Co
lumbus and Franklin County. AL
so furnished to the schools of Co
lumbus and Franklin County were
102 copies of the Conservation
Chart designed by DR.. Eschmeyer.
Four Ohio school teachers will
also profit through the generosity
of this far-seeing organization by
attending the Ohio Conservation
Laboratory at Camp Muskingum,
Leesville Lake, with all expen
ses paid. The Conservation Labor
atory is a summer course in con-
servation conducted by The Ohio
State University. Teachers taking
this course are better able to teach
Ohio wildlife resources problems
to their students.
Funds were provided for ten
students to attend the Future
Farmers of America school at
Leesville Lake and five additional
scholarships were set up for atten-
dance at the Forestry School, con-

 The digging ladder is approxi- mately 27 feet long with g steel buckets of ] cubic foot capacity, and average 45 buckets per min ute, which is the dredge's capa- city. The first buckets they used were Line Belt excavator type but were much too soft for this kind of digging.

 All parts are standard, to be more easily replaced when neces- sary. Ford, Chevrolet, Dodge, International TD-14, Caterpillar, LincBelt and Fremont Speeder parts, together with others, are to be found somewhere incor- ported in the dredge. It also has light and power-lights for night operation, and power for electric motors for the stern Winches.
 The owners stated this dredge is made and designed for those small creeks too deep and flat for 'dozer mining, and too small for big dredge to get into. It draws 32 inches of water when digging.
 Straub and Towner believe the experimental phase of their small dredge has been completed, and that it is an unqualified success in the field. It goes beyond that for it demonstrates what two young men can accomplish thru ambition, energy, ingenuity and a lot of hard work. They look for ward to many years of profitable mining on Buster and Lillian Creeks, and to the installation of similar small dredges in other areas.

ASTRONOMY NOTES
 By OLAF HALVERSON

Looking ahead into the New Year one may wonder which plan- ct will be visible longest during the coming winter months. The planet Jupiter will hold pre-emi- mence during the clear winter months.
 Jupiter, our largest planet, can be seen in the eastern sky in the evening just below the twin stars of Castor and Pollux In the morn ing, due to the rotation of the earth upon it's exis, the same planet is seen in the western sky.
 It is very easy to find Jupiter this year because there are two pointers, Castor and Pollux, that point downward to Jupiter. The tandem arrangement uf the two stars and Jupiter is strikingly noticeable.
 A year from now, Jupilei will have moved 30 degrees to the left of it's present position and will be close to the most recently discov- cred planet called Pluto.

No. l6 By Sen. Howard LYng

In 1946 following the war, two young fellows, Elmer Straub and Earl Towner who wanted to go mining" acquired 12 mining claims located on Buster Creek, 10 miles back of town. Buster was one of Nome's earlier better known mining creeks-the days of the pick and shovel. - and a tributary of Nome River, coming in from the north side directly op- posite Dexter Creek on the south.
 The boys exercised excellent Judgement ir their choice of lo- cation, for a 912 mile road wound its way from town up through the foothills and down into Dexter basin where Nome's summer col ony maintained it's numerous cot tages-and, of course, there was some gold, too.
 Nome River is wide, shallow, and fordable by truck at this par ticular place, and the boys have to date built four miles of gravel

October Meeting
Date Changed

American Legion auxiliary mem
bers are asked to note a change in
the date of the October meeting.
from the regular Tuesday eve
ming date to Friday, October IA.
The meeting will be a no-host
dinner at $50 p. m. at the La
londe hotel in honor of the official
visit of Mrs. Louise Sherman, of
Wibaux, the District 10 president.
Mrs. Sherman has notified Presi-
dent Evelyn SorenSon that she
will be unable to visit the unit
at the regular Tuesday evening
meeting date, hence the change.
The program for the evening
will be under the direction of
Ethel Smith, chairman for the
Education of Orphans" who
plans to organize a program this
year in this department, and ex-
poets to have information on
scholarships and similar oppor-
tunities which are available to
veterans orphans and veterans
children, to present at this meet
ing.
Members are also reminded that
the membership program is get
ting under way this month, and
are asked to help the membership
chairman by bringing their dues
to this meeting. If you are unable
to come, why not send them in
with some other member who is
coming, thus making it a bit
easier for the membership chair
man. Also, why not Just mentally
run through the list of your neigh
bors and friends to see whether
some Of them are also eligible for
membership. There are always
many persons in the community,
who have not been contacted, and
many new people who raove in,
who may be eligible. Remember
- any woman Is or more, who
is a wife, mother, sister or daugh-
ter of a Legionnaire, or of a vet
eran who died in service, is elig-
ible for membership. He need
not be a member of this Legion
Post, and thus many women are
eligible whom we will not know
of unless we ask them.
We are proud of the many fine
community services which the
auxiliary performs, from child
welfare and youth activities, to
veterans welfare and community
drives. We need all the help we
can get so that the auxiliary can
help the community more.
Let's all turn out to hear a fine
program and honor Mrs. Sher-
man.

Sidney WOmans
Club Meeting Held
AT Lalonde Hotel

Members of the Sidney Wo-
mans club met at the Laionde
hotel Monday evening with Mrs.
Afford Balls presiding.
A film Prescription for Liv-
ing" was shown by Syl Braatin,
chairman of the Richland county
Red Cross. This is an excellent
educational film showing the
many uses of the blood which is
collected by the Bloodmobile.
Following the showing of this
film DR.. J. S. Pennepacker gave
a thought challenging address on
this subject:
Because of our great distances
and small population, our mo-
bile units reach Sidney perhaps
2 days out of each year. Conse-
quently, those who have received
blood and those whose loved ones
have received blood, are apt to
have forgotten about their indebt-
edness, before the unit makes its
next visit here. It costs the Red
Cross many, many times the very
nominal service charge of S2.68
per pint of blood. Our donations
to the Red Cross help to make
UP the difference in these costs.
At our hospital a very small
administrative fee is added to
this Red Cross service charge. The
center at Great Falls, with its
expensive equipment and trained
personnel, can do what we could
not possibly do in a small hospital.
We just cannot risk making a a
tent wait while we hunt a blood
donor whose blood matches that
of the patient. The time element is
of the greatest importance"
The club decided to sponsor a
speaker from the Psychiatric Gin
ic in Billings in March Of 1856.
All clubs will be notified Of the
exact date Of this talk and will
be invited to attend. Any organiza-
ton which plans to include a pro-
gram on mental health in their
club this year will be most well
come to keep this March" lecture
in mind.
Mrs. R. Gerber, hospitality
chairman, presented a farewell
GIFT to Mrs. Ollie Barnes.
The members appreciated the

given by Chaplain Mrs. Bernard
McLain.
Many members volunteered to
assist when the Bloodmobile unit

Thiel Mine BUYS
Worlds Smallest
CraWler Tractor

Chester r. Thiel, proprietor of
the Thiel Coal Mines, announces
the purchase of a new Mighty
Mouse baby bulldozer. The
mighty Mouse" is the worlds
smallest crawler tractor in pro-
duction. It is manufactured by
the Mead Specialties Company of
Chicago and is sold locally by the
Richland Machinery Company
where it is now on display.
The tractor is equipped with a
five cubic foot scoop which will
lift a five hundred sixty pound
load six feet. The machine will
he used in the Thiel Mine for
loading coal cars in the mine.
1t is presently powered by an
eight horse power 4-cycle gas en-
CINE. However, a seven and one
half horse power single phase
electric engine viii be substituted.
The mighty Mouse" has a double
acting hydraulic system. The CYL
inders have a lifting capacity of
two thousand pounds. It has two
speeds, forward and one reverse.
The tractor weighs 900 pounds
and is thirty-six inches wide and
eighty-one inches long.
Other equipment which can be
used on the tractor include, a
hammer knife mower, rotary
tiller, heavy duty dozer blade and
agricultural tools. There are a
thousand and one uses for the
mighty Mouse, especially in the
handling of bulk material and
maintenance work. The farmer
will find that the machine will
do innumerable tasks for him
from cleaning the barn to filling
the soil and keeping his lanes
free Of snow. The contractor will
find it useful in back-filling, load
ing skip mixers, small trucks and
leveling operations.
