Screen Actors Unit
Rejects Merger Bid

HOLLYWOOD. June ~ (R1s-
A proposal to merge with tele-
vision and radio performers has
been turned down by the Screen
Actors Guild.
Merger would promote live Tv
at the expense of video movies.
Guild President Walter Pidgeon
said in report yesterday to o.
900 fellow actors.
"a one big union merger
would make the live versus film
argument an internal one for
the union" he added.
The Guild and the American

Mrs. David kerbel
Injured in Car
Accident FRIDAY

Mrs. Dave Kerbel is under hos
pital care for a broken knee cap
and right shoulder sustained in
an accident Friday morning when
the car she was driving went out
of control and hit the abutment
to the bridge crossing the ditch
near the Triangle. Mrs. Kerbel
had her two little grandsons with
her and they suffered minor
cuts and bruises and were un-
der hospital care for a few hours.
The accident occurred when
Mrs. Kerbel, returning from Sid
ney, glanced away from the road
toward the children in the front
seat with her. The car went out
of control and ran off the right
shoulder of the road for about
80 feet, struck the right railing
of a bridge over a drainage ditch,
then turned over in the ditch.
Harold Sather, owner of the
Triangle Night Club, who was
working nearby, heard the crash,
and got Mrs. Kerbel and the chill
dren from the overturned car
and brought them to Sidney
where they were treated at the
hospital. The accident was in
v~estigated by the Montana High
way Patrol and the Richland
county sheriff's office.

L. Y. REA to
Construct New
Warehouse Here

Plans for the construction Of a
new warehouse building, ada
cent to the present Headquarters
office of the Lower Yellowstone
REA r nearing completion and
it is hoped that construction will
be completed before winter
weather, according to Manager
Rod Hanson.
The new building will be util-
lied for storage of materials and
vehicles and has been necessitated
by the steady expansion of the
operating system and the greater
use being made of electric equip
ment by rural users. With the
rural people becoming more and
more dependent upon an ade-
quate and dependable supply of
electric power it is essential to
be equipped with materials and
facilities to make that power
available, Hanson stated.
The building will be of a con-
crete block structure, So x 5O',
and finished to resemble the e
ent office building. Plans and
specifications will be available at
the associations office by Sep
TENDER goth and it is planned
to let bids on September 9th.
With favorable conditions the
building should be under con-
struction by early October.

Trail Herd
Feature Of Cattle
Sale Wednesday

A trail herd of 500 cattle from
the Little Missouri country of
North Dakota arrived here We'd

stock Commission sales yards af-
ter a three day drive for the sale
Wednesday. This annual trail herd
from that range area has been
delivered to this auction market
in the Old Vests trail herd man.
ner for the past ten years from
the Teddy Roosevelt badlands
ranching country.
Ranchers of the area used eight
riders. The old chuck wagon ac-
companied the herd and ranchers
wives presided over the campfire
at mealtime. The 500 cattle, large
ly 2~-year-old steers, started
promptly at daybreak, and bed
ded down in the afternoon at
established watering and night
stops.
Many of the ranchers of the
area spent five to ten days pre-
ceding the drive in rounding up
the cattle over the extensive
range country of the Little Mis-
souri,. This colorful method of
rounding up range cattle and
trail herding them to market is
almost a thing of the past. The
exceptional practice still retained
by the stockmen of that area is
an authentic feature of the Old
West inherited by the sons of a
passing generation who built the
cattle industry in the Dakotas
and eastern Montana.
Ranchers with cattle in the
herd included David and Dave
Creighton, F. K. Jones, Clifford
Van Horn, the Ronnigan family,
Oscar Wilcox, Raymond Peak,
Fred Cornell and Alvin john
son.
The 500 head in the trail herd
moved Wednesdays cattle sales
at the Yellowstone Livestock
Commission auction to 1889 head
with the bulk of feeder steers
at $17.50 to $3.50. The
sale continued through the eve
ming till nearly midnight in or
der to clear the large number of
delivered from over a wide
range territory for the event.
