lowing factors in location of the
plant: availability of unlimited
water and a stable supply, loca-
ton is near their electric load
center, availability to huge lig-
mite coal deposits, natural gas
available for emergency use, an
excellent site, yearly increases of
electrical use, and accessibility
from the site to railroads, high
ways and a good community.
Smith stressed the need for
cooperation of everyone to as
sure future development and also
indicated that additions to the
plant are anticipated. Jack Knoop,
Sidney Chamber vice-president,
gave a short address of welcome
and expressed appreciation to
MDU in behalf of the commu-
nifty, the county and visiting dele
cations present. He complimented
MDU on planning ahead and
thereby assuring future growth
of the area.
Robert Naylor, MDU public
relations director, acted as mas
ter of ceremonies at the cere-
mony and expressed the COM
pany's appreciation to the crowd
for the participation in the event.

Vaccniate Now
And Throughout
The Summer
(The following statement Is
given by r. ID. Benson, M. D.,
Health Officer Of RichIand
county,:
BY Leonard A. ScheeIe, NJ. ID.
Surgeon General, u. s. Public
Health Service

Physicians and health officers
should begin immediate planning
for expanded poliomyelitis vac
cination programs during the next
few months.
Vaccine should be used as
promptly as it becomes available,
even during periods of rising in
cidence of p6liomyelitis, to assure
maximum protection.
To provide some protection in
higher priority groups as soon
as possible, vaccination programs
should not only be continued but
expanded as more vaccine be-
comes available throughout the
summer months, which are Pc
RODS of rising incidence.
The total preventive effect of
the vaccine is much greater than
any slight hazard Of provocation.
Evidence accumulated during 1855
supports this conclusion.

Rip-Rapping
Project Nearly
Completed

A group of RichIand County
Sportsmen Club members, nearly
all farmers, hauled over 100 truck
loads of gravel Monday to Cart
side Lake. The material was
stacked and bladed to the spill
way water level to a thickness
of about 6 to 8 inches for rip
rapping purposes.
Drivers and truck owners who
helped, included the following:
Reinhold Ginther, John Gable,
Bob Dore, c. w. Dotson, Bob
Crosby, Dave Peer, Ralph Hagen,
Stanley Levno, Cliff Jensen,
Charles Provost, Melvin Bakken
and Waldo Merrill. Fred johnson
assisted in dumping trucks and
Don Dave patroled the gravel in
place. The Kallevig Brothers do
mated their loader all day. The
Elks furnished dinner for the crew
and refreshments were also fur
nished by Lloyd Sather of the
Triangle Mite Club and Buster
Herman from the Moose. Seth
Holland, Standard Oil Bulk deal
er, furnished gas for the trucks.
According to Sportsman Club
officials, the donated work is sin
cerely appreciated and was very
important to prevent wave action
from damaging the face of the
dam. Some rock may be placed
on top of the gravel later this
year.

HjoImer NeIsonM Memorial BRIDGE
Dedication Ceremonies June q

years. The fact that several thou
sand acres of fertile and irrigable
land In Dakota lies west of the
Yellowstone was instrumental in
the early drive for the bridge.
The area was nearly divorced
from its state and people could
not reach the county seat except
by antiQuated methods.
Following the old pioneer way
of fording the river a cable ferry
boat was placed in operation by
Roy Riley until 1925. At that time
leaders in Fairview were success
full in convincing Ralph Budd,
then president of the Great
Northern railway, that a planked
railroad bridge would be Of great
service to the people and helpful
in developing the country.
The Great Northern planked
its bridge in September, 1925
Signal lights, telephones and cleo
trio gates were installed and op-
orators were on duty "a hours q
day. Toll was charged for CARS,
trucks and livestock to meet the
overhead. One Of the peculiari-
ties Of the toll structure was that
women were admitted to cross
free if they were extra passen-
gers.
Roads through Mckenzie coun-
ty were developing and highway
No. % soon led to the bridge
Governor William LANCER made
a deal with the Great Northern
to permit free crossing after Sep
TENDER /, 1887 and the Dakota
legislature appropriated funds to
pay for the maintenance.
A few years later Senator
Hjalmer Nelson was encouraged
by his colleagues to submit a bill
for a new highway bridge. An
appropriation of $50O,0 900 was ar
marked for this purpose on March
5, 1949. The sum would be
matched by federal funds. Cross
ings over the railroad bridge had
reached 10000 annually by 1851.
