Kiwanians Hear
Special Music
Program Today

At the luncheon meeting Of the
Kiwanis club this noon Program
Chairman Bob Hall presented a
special musical program consist
ing Of local talent. Lyle Weagle,
who recently won first prize in
the Horace Heidi program at
Miles City, sang three popular
numbers accompanied by Joe
Gorham, which were enjoyed i'm
mensely, and Zeke Thies, an en-
ployee of the local experiment
station, who was introduced as an
Oklahoma ballad singer, sang and
played several numbers including
a special called "If You Don't Be
lieve Me, Don't Blame Me, Cause
I'm Telling You What Someone
Else Told Me-" The club really
enjoyed his selections.
Rex Smelser gave a report on
the apple sales campaign and
stressed the necessity for contin-
uing to work hard as there were
still some 600 boxes of apples to
sell. He stated that the club
needed every cent that could be
raised through the apple sales for
their youth program and in order
to be certain that some unfor-
tunate youth wasn't properly car
ed for it behooved every Kiwan-
ian to put more work into the
apple sale.

bertson and Rev. Herbert j. Bryce

month, Jerry Smith thanked the
club for sponsoring the student of
the month program and told how
the boys at the high school look
ed forward to being able to be
Student Kiwanian. He apOlogized
for not selling many apples but
pointed out that there were four
super-salesmen from the school
system who belonged to Kiwanis
and that it didn't give him much
of a chance to sell apples. Pres
sured for a statement on the Sid
ney Great Falls football game
Saturday night, Jerry made an
off-the-cuff prediction that Sid
ney would come out winner but
asked not to be quoted.

Crop and Livestock Progress
(As of Saturday. Oct. 22l

Potato digging is almost COM
pleted and the sugar beet harvest
is progressing rapidly. Winter
wheat termination continues poor
to fair in most areas. Lamb mar
keting is tapering off and cattle
marketing is improving. Range
condition is good except that
grass is dry and brittle in most
parts of the state.
Reports from most counties in
dictate that potato digging will
be completed by the first of No
vember. Yield and quality Of that
part of the crop already harvest
ed is good.

sections. Cattle feeding will prob
ably be about the same as last
wear despite larger feed supplies
at lower prices. Most of the cattle
in the state have now been moved
from mountain ranges. Fall and
winter ranges are in good con-
dition but very dry. In some sec
tons winter ranges are likely TO
Geteriorate rather rapidly unless
the grass is softened by moisture.

EXEMPTION RECORDS

Taxpayers subject ito with holding tax should Ibe careful that their exemption records are current, district director William E. Frank of the Seat tie office of the internal rev enue service warned today One of the common difficul- ties experienced by the ser vice is strengthening out erron- eous withholding tax certifi- cates.
 Keeping ones employer posted concerning exemption status benefits both the em- ployer and revenue service, MT. Frank pointed out. It en- ables the employer to main tain accurate records in both his own bookkeeping accounts and in his payment of these taxes to the service. The rev. enue service is enabled to make more quickly accurate analysis of the taxpayers re- turn.
 If a taxpayers exemptions have changed, he should ob- tain lat once "a new certificate , (Form WA, fill 1t out and re- turn to his employer. This should De done immediately especially when dependency changes have an application to the current year.

FISHERIES DEPT. GETS RESEARCH MONEY

The Alaska Department of Fisheries has been awarded government contract totaling $25. 100000 for the 1955-56 fis- cal year to investigate fishery problems involving the loss of commercial fish through pre- dation by mammals, birds and fish. This project is one of sew
 eral being conducted by quail
 fled conservation and research
 agencies throughout the coun- try with money provided by
 the. Saltonstall-Kennedy Act which provides that import
 duties on foreign fishery pro-
 ducts be spent for conserva- tion purposes.
 Director C. L. Anderson of
 the department of fisheries has
 announced that personnel have
 been assigned and that inves-
 tigations are already getting
 underway. Archie Mossman,
 who recently completed doc
 torate studies at the Universi-
 ty of Wisconsin involving pre-
 dator- prey relationships, has
 been selected to investigate the seriousness of gull and
 merganser predation on sal mon. Dr. Mossrnan is current ly making a reconnaissance of salmon streams to discover where, when, and to what ex- tent gulls destroy spawning salmon. Included in his future work will be an extensive study of predlation on young salmon by these birds.
 Bob Parker. head of the de- partment's biology division, will supervise investigations to determine the survival and growth of young salmon where they are subjected to differing pressures by predatory and competitive fish. This work isl being done near the depart Kitoi Bay research sta tion on Afognak Island, but it is anticipated that the findings will be applicable to many similar areas in Alaska. Spe- officially, this program involves salmon in lakes from which all other fish have beenI removed. Salmon will also bel planted in comparable control lakes which contain natural l populations of fish which may ! be harnful to salmon. When l the young salmon have com plete their fresh water life | phase and move toward the sea they will be trapped, counted { and measured. The detrirnen- bal effects, if any of predatory !

The agreements and state ments of communists at the Russian-East German get-to- gether make it obvious that, at least so far as reunification of Germany is concerned, the All lies might as we'll call off the foreign ministers meeting m Geneva.
 The Russians, going through the motions of grantin auton- omy to East Germany in for eign relations, are establishing a situation in which they hope to bypass the Allies and them selves take up the ron of ven triloquist in dealing with West Germany.
 They say in so many words that reun6icaItion is a long way off, anyway.
 The Russians probably have dual motives in this approach. One of them is sincere and understandable self-interest produced by fear, which makes a divided Germany look lot safer. There is still a consider able body of this feeling in France which is now affecting the efforts of the Allies to make their plans for Geneva.
 One of the chief Allied ob- iections right now is to hit upon some scheme which will guar antee Russia, as France was guaranteed, against fear of fu- ture German attack. It is be- fore the tdi-power planners now meeting in Washington and will be before the foreign ministers next week in New York.
 The other Russian motive undoubtedly is to get the Ger mans to negotiating among themselves over unification and this motive, too, has dual obiectives. One is to stimulate the Geun1an appetite for re- union in the hope that, event ually, it will become so strong that they will be willing to take it instead of NATO. The second is to promote the idea of a coal ition government if the other eventually should develop, and so take the traditional commun ist first step toward control of ! all Germany.
 The suggestion that both East and West Germany should be represented at the Geneva conference next month also has two faces. Ii would be tanta- mount to forcing recognition of East Germany by both BonnI and the Allies. And it would ] tend to muddy the waters, en- ab1ing the Russians to keep l taHking without being forced to act.

and competing fish should be demonstrated by poorer sur- vival and growth of salmon from lakes containing several species of fish than from lakes devoted solely to salmon pro- duction.
 As another part of its Sal tonstall-Kennedy project, the department of fisheries will initlate a study of sea lions and their depradationS on the salmon and haIlbut fisheries. Jim Brooks, marine mammal specialist who has just com pleted an investigation of the belugas of Bristol Bay, has been selected to carry out this work and to advise on other phases of the project. An att tempt will be made to locate all sea lion rookeries, census the animals, and collect infor- mation on their food habits. In an effort to evaluate the de- structiveness of sea ions to gear and commercial fishes, the cooperation of fishermen will be solicited through ques- donnaires and interviews. Jim Brooks expressed the hope that anyone, not otherwise contacted, who has personal knowledge of sea lion concen- trations, daprdations or other interesting facts about the an- will report this informa-
