Talks by Fair
Board Features
Kiwanis Program

The Kiwanis luncheon program to-
day Thursday featured talks by some
of the Richland County Fair board
members on the coming event Sept,
l, z and 3, who were presented by
program chairman, Keith Krebsbach.
Dwight Howard, president, said that
the reason for good fairs was due
mainly to the cooperation of every
one. And because of the wonderful
crop that apparently will all be har-
vested without much loss we should
expect to see the greatest fair we
nave had for many years.
Don Nutter, secretary of the fair
board, explained the operation of the
tar. His predecessor, Jack Suckstorff.
LETT about a SIS 900 reserve for which
Don says Jack has not received all
the credit coming to him. This re-
serve. however, has been reduced
curing the last few years because of
extensive remodeling and repair to
many buildings and the b~ieachers.
The total budget ranges around IS. 600
dollars but during the actual opera
tlon OF the fair the cost runs So 600 to
$4,000 less than the budget figure
nevertheless, the money spent by the
county for the operation of the fair
is money well spent.
year you will notice the ticket
booth is placed again up town. There
are advantages and disadvantages in
no matter what method Of Selling
tickets is used. Consequently we are
going to try a pre-fair sale of tickets
from an up town booth.
n Richland County Fair belongs
10 a circuit, says Don, from which we
have been buying most of our pro-
grams: Since the fair is the third
largest in the state, it is important
that we get the best and highest
caIlber of program possible. Most of
our programs have been bought from
Northern Exposition Shows which
is run by Mike Smith.
The advertising and sound system Is
bought on a contract basis. Whue he
County Fair is one Of two
lalrs that is able to make any money
from the venture, it still is depend
eng on a IA mill county levy to
support Its operation. There are MANY
problems in running a fair and be-
longing to the board is the best place
10 Ilnd out about all the headaches
running the third largest fair in
the state.
Dean Davidson talked on Stock
ShoWmanshIp contests and the babv
peer exhibition. Dean expressed his
appreciation for the fine contribution
tne sidney Kiwanis club makes every
year TO its part in making the live
stock part of the fair a success.

Savage, and Lambert and are
manned by trained volunteer fire
fighting crews. These fire trucks
alone are not enough to have
adequate protection in every area
of the county and particularly in
the areas where the greatest
range fire danger exists.
In order to have a well co-or-
dinated fire control program in
a county it requires thorough or
ganization on a community basis
where rural residents are prepared
to fight fires with hand tools and
mechanical equipment on the
farm. This is particularly true in
the case Of range fires which Of
ten occur in localities that cannot
be reached by fire trucks.
In Richland county the rural
fire fighting organization consists
Of community fire wardens and
assistants headed by Sheriff Sam
Childers who serves as rural coun-
ty fire chief. The county fire
wardens and assistants in each

Range Fire Hazards In RichIand
County This Year Are Great

Richland county's rural fire pre-
vention and control program will
no doubt be thoroughly tested this
year with the great fire hazard
that prevails in the maturing
grass, weeds, and crops. It is most
important that everyone realize
the fact that a closed fire season
exists in Richland county at the
present time and will continue to
exist as long as the great fire
range is present. This in itself
should make everyone fire CON
scious at all times.
Rural residents can no doubt
rest a little easier in view of
the fact that there are four rural
fire trucks in the county such as
the one pictured which is To-
Gated at Sidney. The other three
trucks are located at Fairview,

lzatlOn of fire fighting crews.
In a recent radio interview with
Dean Davidson, Richland county
agent, Joe Langendorf, area soil
conservationist and eastern Mon
tana coordinator for the Montana
Rural Fire Fighters Service pre-
sented the following tips to rural
residents regarding fire proven
ton and control:
/. Plow fire guards around the
buildings and on crop land next
to roads. 2. Have a special place
on your farm for hand fire fight
ing tools such as Indian Fire
pumps, shovels, Swatters, etc. 8.
Be sure mechanical equipment
on the farm that can be used
for fire fighting is ready for ac-
ton. A power weed sprayer equip
ped with proper nozzles and hoses
makes an excellent piece of fire
fighting equipment. 4. Be sure
that exhaust pipes on all trucks.
tractors, and combines point up
ward rather than down into COM
bustible stubble or grass. S. Adj
here to closed fire season regula-
ton and know who the fire war
dens r in your community.
By being concious of fires and
by being prepared if a range fire
does occur rural residents in
Richland county can have another
spotleSS year as far as losses of
lives and property due to range
fires is concerned.

the volunteer fire department of Sidney and they would certainly
appreciate your vote on this issue on August 3Mh.

ney can maintain its present rate on fire insurance II means ad-
ditional savings for you.
