he has worn this Kiwanis club
year.
Harry then presented the new
directors, Bill Buchholz, John
Chambers, Scotty Macdonald,

Bob Hall, and told them what
their duties of office were.
Harry then called on Hurry

him on his outstanding work as

Immediate-past Vice President
Rex Smelser presented the vice
presidents pin to Al Johns, after
which Harry, with due solemnity

ed on the new program chairman,
DR.. Nelson, who presented Harold
Sandem, buyer for Swift and Co.,
as the speaker for the day.
MI. Sandem began by taking
a quick survey of all those who
had eaten lamb the last month.
There were. very few. Mr.. San
dem said that the East and the
West r the best lamb consum-
ers and yet here, where lamb
is produced only 1919 is consum-
ed. 1t is therefore necessary that
If we are going to push the lamb
industry we who are the pro-
ducers of lamb must promote the
use of lamb and wool. Lamb ranks
high as a favorite food for many
hospitals.
Mr.. Sandem continued by say
ing that SIC lbs. per capita of
lamb was eaten while 612 lbs.
per capita of peanut butter was
consumed. Yet lamb is a preferred
food. Moreover lamb in St. Paul
recently was about 19c while pork
was down to lie. Therefore, it
is necessary for us in the lamb
producing area to eat lamb, to
talk lamb and to sell lamb if we
are going to successfully promote
the lamb industry.

Urges Second
Power Plant At
Fort Peck Dam

Washington, D. c., Jan. 8 -
Congressman Orvin D. Flare to-
day talked personally with mem
bers of the White House staff in
regard to the inclusion of funds
for the second power plant at
Fort Peck Dam in the forthcom-
ing budget request. Flare said he
made his plea to the White House
because this project is vitality
important to the full development
of Eastern Montana, and is one
that calls for the utilization of
waters already impounded. He
continued, "the second power
plant will allow the use of all
waters discharged from Fort Peck
dam, and I feel it is only sound
economy to e that this is done"
The congressman made an in
spection of the facilities at Fort
Peck last fall as a guest of the

and said, that trip more than

and de~sirability of the early con-

Pea Stockholders
Annual Meeting
In Sidney Monday

Plans for the coming annual
stockholders meeting of the Glen
dive Production Credit associa-
ton are being completed this
week, Secretary Lafond stated.
A record crowd is expected at
both sections of the meeting. The
first section will be held in the
Moose hall at Sidney, January
9 and the second section in the
Moose hall at Glendive, January
10.
Registration at both meetings
will start at 1870 a. m. followed
by a complimentary steak lun-
cheon at noon. All members and
their wives are urged to attend.
An entirely different entertain
ment program has been lined up
this year and will be put on en-
tirely by the members of the as
ISOLATION. One director will be
elected and many other important
items of business transacted.
Secretary-Treasurer Cecil La
fond, stated that 1855 was the
most successful year during the
associations history. The associ-
alton loaned out over $2,500,000
this past year and now has al
most $325,000 in member owned
and reserves.
All members are urged to be
at the meeting as many import
ant items of business will be
discussed. President Groskinsky
of Sidney stated that this meet
ing appears to be one of the
most important from a stock
holders viewpoint that has ever
been held. Mr.. Groskinsky also
stated that the association has
mailed out checks to all A stock
holders this week representing a
80 dividend on their Class A
stock.
The Glendive Production Credit
association makes loans to farm
ers and ranches in Prairie, Wi

Sidney To Get
Gas From T'iioga,
MDU Announces

Natural gas produced in the
Tioga : Beaverlodge fields and
processed at the Signal Oil and
Gas Company plant at Tioga.
North Dakota will be used in
Fairview, Sidney and Savage
starting on January /, 1856. ac-
cording to Brad Durant, Glendive
division manager for MDU. Dur
ant said that Tioga gas will also
be used in Glendive. Surplus gas
will be transported to the Com
pany's storage reservoirs in the
Baker field where it can be held
for use during peak load periods.
Durant pointed out that the
new gas will have a heating
value 1919 higher than the Mon
tana gas now being used in Fair
view, Sidney and Savage and
consequently the customer will
use 1917 less gas. To compensate
for the increased heating value
of Tloga gas, the new rate sched-
ule which has been approved by
the Public Service Commission
of Montana will apply. These
rates are the same as those now
in effect in Miles City and Terry
where MDU has been distribut-
ing Wyoming gas of the same
heating value since 1850. Accord
ing to Durant, the new rate to
adjust for the increased heating
value will not result in higher
cost to Fairview, Sidney and
Savage customers and will yield
the same income to the COM
pany. The new rates become eff
fective with the first billing per-
iod in which the customer OBJ
tains a full months gas sup
ply from the Tioga field, which
will be on all bills computed
the February meter read
Fairview, Sidney and Savage
customers will probably notice
that the Tioga gas has a different
odor from the Montana gas now
being used because of a change
IN the o~dorizing agent being used
in the North Dakota gas. Durant
explained tnat concentrated COM
nercial odorants are added to
natural gas to give it a distinctive
odoreIt is thus possible for the
User to detect tiny leaks and have
hem repaired promptly. Gus
r urged to notify the
whenever gas leaks are
inspected.
