to vote for one school board
member and a special levy on
the high school district at the

Saturday. April 7th. The polls
will be open from noon until

coed himself.
Deadline for filing for the
board position is 1900 noon,
April End. Interested persons
may secure nominating petitions

The extra mill levy is re.
quested to provide for one. and
perhaps two additional high

teacher salaries. Browning high
school is constantly confronted
with an ever increasing enroll.
ment. In an effort to afford
each student the bcs, possible
education. the administration
and faculty strive to add new
courses to further expand the
academic opportunities. Next

the offerings in English. mathc.

Contrary to the Montana Tax.

target has long been the public
schools. the school taxes in
Browning have no, increased
commensurate with other costs.
IL Is reaSSuring to know that
while the educational facilities
have more than doubled in

Designs
Are Casual,


You can plan an elegant in
terror that brings the outdoors
in. Yet you can take the very
same furniture out onto the
lawn or patio next summer.
This is the vista that opens
with the introduction of re-
markedly flexible, imagina-
lively designed new casual
furniture at the Summer Fur
niture Market which took
place recently in the Merchan-
disc Mart.
The new designs are both
informal and elegantly grace
full. A great variety of materials
and color finishes are en-
ployed, often in the same chair
or table. Easy upkeep and
flexibility are emphasized more
strongly than ever, so that
furniture arrangements can be
changed as the mood or need
requires.
Designer John Wisner uses
particularly striking color and
texture contrasts in a new
group of rattan furniture.
Peacock blue upholstery on
sofas and chairs is shown with
tables made of peacock finish
rattan, orange laquer drawers
and textured beige plastic tops.
Upholstery that slips. snaps or
tips of or on is featured by
several firms, for easy cleaning
or changing effect. New per-
manent antitrust finishes are
used on wrought iron furni-
ture. Imported plastic raffia
that looks exactly like the
real thing, and woven cello
plane chair seats that makes q
chair elegant indoors and
weatherpreof outside are other
materials combined with
wrought iron furniture of
beautiful modern design.
A huge Gourmet Wagon on
wheels makes a wonderful
conversation piece for a lawn
party as well as actually being
a whole portable pantry and
server. Made of redwood it
combines dropleaf serving
areas, buffet for dishes, silver
and napkins, glass rack, spice
rack, bottle rack. cooler chest
all in the same easily port
able piece.

LIFE IN

Where Are the Barn Swallows?
BY JAMES BIRcHFlELD

a fancy seat with a back rest,

tractor is cutting it pretty fine
But that is Tweed Howser fol
you. One of these days, when
run out of matches, I'm going to
borrow his tractor.
The fish are jumping like mad
down in our pond this spring
Looks like the bass are doing
well. and We will have some
fishing by another spring.
notice, too, that there is a
healthy crop of tadpoles about
the pond edges. That means
many frogs. and more bass feed
this summer.
We already have had lots of
frog music this spring. AS soon
as real warm weather sets in we
will begin to get our frog SYM
phonies. We usually have a we'll
b lance d performance, with
voices ranging from the high
sopranos to the BASES.
1t makes lovely music for q
warm, summer night.
q One Of the geese Matched three
goSlingS over on the island the
other day, and Immediately the
new family took to the water
They made pretty sight, too
with mama goose in the lead
followed by three toddlers.
Nature, it seems, makes hel
plans well. When goslings are
Matched in an incubator they
have to be kept away from water
because they haven't at birth the
oil that protects them from the
wet.
But when they are Matched
under a goose, as Nature intend
ed, they get the protective oil
from their mother and can &C
from the nest to the pond with
no danger.
Our new family stayed close tC
the island the first day, but the
next day they over exploring the
mainland. And now they have
gotten as far as the barn.
There will be no keeping them
out of the garden, I suppose.
