PIdy-goerS OF Sidney and sur
rounding communities will see
something different in the way OF
plays next Friday night, Novem-
Der l6, at the Sidney Junior
Senior high school auditorium.
John Patrick, of "The Hasty
Heart fame, has the unusual tall
mt of bringing cut the best in
lis characters. He writes of people
Who are not generally accepted
I o%r1inarv society," ,Vho orc
thought to be odd, and, by gradu-
Al agrees, makes ms ~auuiencrs
come to love them.
Mr.. Patrick is at his best in
The Curious Savage" He intro
duces Fairy May, Sonia Jean
Benson, who loves to have people
tell her they love her; Florence,
Betty Hall, who substitutes a
doll for her son who died at an
early age; Mrs. Paddy, Marie
Kristianson, whose husband told
her to shut up" twenty years
ago and she did except for a
few times when she just must
recite the things she hates; Han
nibal, Bill Ross, who is enhanced
by his ability to play the violin
even though he has only two
notes at his disposal which he
plays on a single string; Jeffrey,
Conrad Hanson, who made his
debut as a concert pianist just
before he went to wal where
his plane was shot down in
flames. He no longer plays the
piano out of consideration for
his audience who would be re-
CURED to gaze at an ugly self
supposed al on his face.
These are the people Mrs. Saw
age, Bonnie Atchison, comes to
love through her association with
them at the "Cloisters," a private
home for the mentally deficient.
Titus Savage, Ed Carda; Sam
uel Savage, Dean Williams; and
Lily Belle Savage, Charlotte Kol-
stad, are responsible for their
step-mother's admission to 1.-THE
Cloisters." They cannot come to
an agreement with her on how
the ten million dollar estate left
by her late husband (their faith
err should be used. Mrs. Savage
has Incorporated it into a Hap
piness Fund" to give other peo-
pie the things they want and that
is in direct opposition to what her
children want - they want the
money. Five-year-old Brian Dige
will appear IN the play as him
self.
When it develops she has hid
den the money, pandemonium
breaks loose and DR.. Emmett,
Gerald Harris, and Miss Wilhel-
nina, Sharon Henderson, are be-
side themselves with Illustration

turned into a mad-house.

MvTVReceiiyes
Okay from FEC;
On Air Soon

Missouri Valley Television Cor.
poration Thursday successful,
hurdled the last legal barrier il
Its path before complete construc-
ton of the Williston station anc
tower could begin when Arley
Bella, MVTV president, received
notification that the Federal Com
m%unications Commission had fl
nally approved the company's APP
plication for its revised micro
wave system.
Actually the permit was ap-
proved Wednesday, October 80
but word of the approval wasn'i
released until the following day
because of the international stu
alton, according to Clair Stout,
MVTV attorney in Washington,
D. c.
At the same time he announced
the FEC approval, Mr.. Bella
also received a telegram from
Glenn Webster, General Electric
supervisor in Chicago, who wired:
General Electric transmitter be-
ing shipped on November 8. An
tenna and other items already on
way. Rushing tower steel"
The information from both
Washington and Chicago now
means that only the weather can
upset the corporations plans to
have television in homes by
Christmas or earlier.
MIR. Bella said the arrival of
the necessary materials will mean
that work can proceed mediate
ly.
Work on the relay towers will
begin in the Williston area and
proceed to Bismarck because of
the possible weather situation.
Mr.. Bella said if weather con-
ditions did necessitate a temper
airy halt on construction, televi-
sion could still be seen in this
are if enough of the tower work
had been completed.
The corporation had previously
secured an FEC approval for a
six tower relay system, however,
engineering studies showed that
two additional towers would
bring programs and pictures into
a much wider area and would
mean better quality reception for
set owners living in outlying
areas. For that reason the corr
poration submitted its second APP
plication to the FEC, even though
it meant a delay on planned tower
construction.
Officials of the Lambda-Pacific
Co., holder of the sub-contract
from General Electric for con-
of the transmission
system, were in Williston during
the week, securing final clear
ances on tower sites as well as
commitments for the tower.
The easements and clearances
present no problem and with the
FEC approval Thursday, MVTV
can at last proceed to its announ-
ced goal - television for north
western North Dakota and north
eastern Montana by Christmas,
1856.

Fire Prevention
Week Highly
Successful Here

Fire Chief Ben Dave Jr., Fire
Prevention Week Chairman Babe
Turner, and every member of the
Sidney Volunteer Fire Depart
ment are to be congratulated on
their efforts during Fire Proven
ton Week this year. Through
their endeavors the people of
Richland county have become
more and more fire prevention
conscious, a fact which is borne
out by the decreasing number of
fire calls throughout the county.
Final tabulations show that over
$500 people in RichIand county
were contacted by the department
during Fire Prevention Week. OF
this number, over 5000 of our
citizens enjoyed the fine pro-
grams put on by the three pro-
gram teams, composed of mem
bers of the department, through
out the week. Eighteen programs
were put on, with emphasis on
fire prevention through the use
of educational films, fire ex-
tinguisher displays and an ex-
PLANTATION of the various types,
and the electrical panel used to
explain the inadequacy of the
wiring in many buildings and
what happens when the circuits
become overloaded.
Over 500 people enjoyed the
program at the dedication of our
new fire hall which was dedicated
to former Fire Chief Fred Hurst,
now deceased. This dedication
was the kickoff for the Fire Pre-
vention Week activities of Jul
department, a week in which ev-
cry member took part in one way
or another.
Fire Chicf Dave said that ne
would like to personally thank the
members of the department for
the time and effort which they
put forth to make this week the
grand success which it was. On
behalf Of the department, he
also expressed his appreciation
to the people of Richland county
for their cooperation, with special
thanks to KICK, the Centre The
atre and The Sidney Herald for
the free time and space which
they donated in ~publicizing Fire
Week and to the
County Extension Service for the
use of their public address sys-
tenn.

B. Fishers Get
Word of Death
OF Son-in-law

Mr.. and Mrs. Bailey Fisher
received a phone call Saturday
evening from their daughter in
Anchorage, Alaska, informing
them of the sudden death of her
husband late that afternoon fol-
lowing a heart attack.
Mr.. and Mrs. Russell Peterson
had just returned to Anchorage
Monday from a several weeks
visit in the States. They flew from
Anchorage to Michigan, where
they took delivery on a new car,
after which they went to Dayton,
Ohio, where MI. Peterson took
a six weeks course in salesman
ship and repair of National Cash
Register machines. Mr.. Peterson
had been employed by the COM
pany since his graduation from
college.
The Petersons visited in Sidney
on their return from Michigan
and had also visited with his
mother and other relatives in
Kewadin, Michigan.
Mr.. Peterson was II years old
and is the son of Mrs. Phyllis
Marshall of Kewadin. He had
worked in Alaska for several
years for the National Cash Reg
lister company.
Mrs. Peterson is taking the
body to Kewadin, where funeral
services will be held Tuesday.
Mr.. and Mrs. Fisher will meet
their daughter in Billings next

Boy Scout
Fund Drive
.Nears Goal

With the toWn-Wide drive COM
pleted and the drive with large
donors almost completed, Harold
Mercer and Otto T. Habedank,
Boy Scout finance drive chair
men for Sidney, today announced
that $1363.37 had been contribut-
ed toward the budget fund and
$3,756.00 pledged to the Flam-
ing Arrow Camp by businesses
and residents of Sidney, Richland
County's minimum goal was ST.
10000 to the budget and 100000
to the camp fund. Fairview had
tentatively accepted a budget
goal of $4,000 and a camp fund
goal of 100000.
When those persons who have
been out of town are contacted
and others who have not as yet
made their pledges or remittances
do so, it appears that Sidney
should exceed its minimum goal.
No moneys contributed will be
wasted and all funds are ex-
pended only on approved bud
gets adopted by representatives
from all the counties comprising
the Yellowstone Valley Council.
Harold Mercer and Otto Habe-
dank both expressed their APP
probation for the fine support
given by those working in the
budget and camp fund campaigns.
1t was the intention of the COM
mittees to reach all possible do
who are interested in help
ing the Boy Scout program. No
further personal contacts III be-
ing made and anyone who did
not receive an opportunity to
donate through personal solicita-
ton is urged to send their checks

Eagles Tie for
Second Place;
Rams Win Crown

A story book finish marked the
end of Glass A conference foot
ball last week as the Billings
Central Rams tied Laurel 20 all
to win the league title.
Sidney, who finished their
games the week before, tied with
Laurel for second place thus
eliminating a playoff game. Both
schools had five wins, one loss
and one tie.
The rules stated that if two
or more teams tie for second place
with only one team in possession
OF first there would be no play
off game.
Had the Rams and Locomotives
done anything but tie, another
game would have been played.
If the Rams had won Sidney
would have challenged for the
title.
Nevertheless, for the locals 1T
certainly was not a dismal sea-
son. The league was more even
ly matched than it has been for
years. Upsets marked each week
of play.
The Eagles started things roll
ling early in the year by dump
ing the Havre Blue Ponies, last
seasons champions. A few weeks
later the also ran Glendive Red
Devils hit their peak and knock
ed off the high flying Eagles alt.
Then Great Falls Central after
pinning the first loss on Laurel
the week before ruined the Sid
ney hopes by tieing the locals
6-6.
Sidney had a seasons record of
six wins, one loss and one tie.
They defeated the Williston Coy
otes in a montague game 26-12.
In eight games the locals scored
162 points to their opponents II
for one of the best defensive rec
ords in the state. Head coach Don
Shading and his assistant Dick
Buehler are to be commended for
doing another fine job.
For Sidney is seniors have
played their last high school
football. These are Lee Ander-
son, Gary Bracken, Jerry Chris
Jensen, Bob Franz, Don Herman,
Clarence Helm, Tyler Jensen,
Thor Krtstiaytsen Jack Marion,
Jack Martin, George Murray, Bob
Potts, Tom Quilting, Gene Sat-
tier and Lorenzo Simonson.
From this group six are con-
sidered likely candidates for all
state honors. Bob Potts who won
this recognition at the end posi-
ton a year ago did a terrific job
filling the center spot this year.
Marion was an outstanding
end for the Eagles and his clue
fingered catches, alone make him
strong candidate. Tom Quilting
who directed the locals from the
quarterback slot should gather in
his share of the votes from the
coaches and sportswriters. Tyler
Jensen, fullback, Jerry Chris
Jensen, guard and Gene Sattler. a
all outstanding, for Sid
1ey, deserve statewide honors.
In a player vote taken last
week Jack Marion and Jerry
christensen were elected co-cap-
aims of the 1856 squad. Both are
.hree year lettermen.
In spite of Is graduating Sidney
will have a strong nucleus to
build around for 1857. A good 3
squad coached by Spike Vannoy
will help the Eagles another year.
