HATTERAS MAN FINDS OLD
XMAS IN NEWFOUNDLAND

To The Editor:
I am a Hatteras man in the Air
Force, stationed here in Stephen
vile, Newfoundland. And like most
other Bankers" / get the Coast
land Times. It is usually 1918
days old when / receive it but the
news is still fresh to me because
it's mostly about homefolks.
In your edition of % December,
which / received yesterday, there
was picture of the usual prepa-
rations at Rodanthe for "Old
Christmas"
Today, while reading The Corner
Brook, Newfoundland Western
Star, came across the enclosed
article which l found very interest
ing. Especially since the people
here celebrate on the 9Th of Janu-
airy and at Rodanthe on the 5th.
Also, / was not aware that "Old
Christmas" was celebrated any
where else in North America ex-
cept at Rodanthe.
I have noticed since / have been
up here that lot of the old
phrases and mannerisms that l re-
member from the Banks as a boy
l see and hear up here among the
older people.
However, that is about the only
thing ] have noticed up here that
reminds me of home, and I'm hop
ing to be back in the good oil U.S.A.
by mid summer. Wishing you
much success and happiness in this
New Year.

Public Health
Fund Cutback

! The District Medical Society
wants more money for public
health here despite the Budget
Ofhce's severe cutback in funds
requested for fiscal 1858 for in
creased health facilities.
A letter signed by members Of
the Society's special committee
on the District Health Depart
ment budget to Commissioner
Robert E. Mclaughlin was re-
leased today declared that not
enough funds had been requested
to maintain adequate health
services here.
The letter referred to news
paper reports characterizing
fund requests by DR.. Daniel L.
Seckinger. Health Director, as
asking for the moon"
IF true. our reaction is that
the director of health did not
only not ask for the moon, but
failed in more than few re-
spectS to present what would
seem a more realistic and salts
factory figure for many of the
items" the letter. dated Sep

Slash Recommended
A week ago the budget Office
announced recommendation
that $22 million be slashed from
proposals for Health Department
funds. The slash included some
$l,3 million for a new emergency
and admissions building at Dis
trict General Hospital and $722.-
900 to convert the present psy-
chiatric building into a center
for drug addicts and alcoholics.
The Medical Society's commit
tee, however, listed five items
for which the Health Depart
ment sought inadequate funds.
in its opinion. They included
personnel for new psychiatric
and narcotic education services,
personnel to staff newly con-
structed operating room services,
adequate nursing personnel for
the nursery. increased nursing
personnel for all of the Districts
institutions and more money for
necessary food inspection per-
sonnet.
The letter congratulated Com
missioner David Karrick for re-
Iscinding an order forbidding the
Issuance of permits to INDECENT
patients for elective surgery in
voluntary hospitals.
Amount Inadequate"
The group pointed out that in
order to get interns and resi-
dents voluntary hospitals must
pay high wages because of the
lack of INDECENT training ma
terial. So. the average citizen
who is hospitalized must pay
more for inferior services.
The letter took note of the
fact that funds have been in
cluded in the overall budget to
remedy this situation by paying
for elective surgery for indigents
in the private hospitals. The
amount, however, is not ade-
Iquate," the doctors declared.
The doctor wrote that there
is an urgent need for more
generous provision TO care for
INDECENT patients in voluntary
hospitals"

Northern. Bldg.
& Loan Capital
Now 2 Million

The announcement was made
by William Petersen, president of
Northern Building and Loan as
ISOLATION, that the authorized cap
ital stock of the association was
recently increased to $4,000, 000. 90.
This action was taken by the
board of directors to provide for
the constantly increasing demand
for home loans in this area. IT
likewise makes additional shares
available to investors so that the
association can get the necessary
funds to meet the loan demand.
The Northern Building and
Loan association of Sidney now
has the largest authorized capital
iZation of any corporation with
a home office in Richland county,
Montana. From its modest begin
nings in 1925 TO its present size
of nearly $500, 10000 it reflects,
in a way, the growth of the COM
munity.
Everyone connected with the
management and operation of
Northern Building and Loan as
ISOLATION firmly believe that the
city of Sidney, and the entire adj
joining vicinity, has a bright fu-
ture; a future promising enough.
to merit the continued confidence
of all investors.
The increase described above
is the best possible proof of this.

Beet Growers Receive Additional
1855 Crop Payments From Holly

Additional payments on the
1855 beet crop in the amount OF
some $424,500 were mailed to
Holly Sugar Corporation beet
growers on March goth and 21st.
On a per ton basis the payment
was at the rate of S1.50. Such
payment was made in accordance
with the 1855 contract with grow
r whereby payments are made
at different intervals during the
year as the sugar is sold
To date farmers have received
approximately $780,, 400 for their
1855 crop of sugar beets. $2.35
per ton was paid growers through
the Sugar Act and the balance
has been paid by the Holly Sugar
Corporation.
The 1855 tonnage reflects very
~favorably with the ten year av-
erage, 1945-1954, yield of 11.58
tons per acre for the district, as
does also the 1855 sugar content
as compared to the ten year av-
erage of 1875 percent.
The increased tonnage from the
1855 crop represents additional
income to the farmers of some
$500 per acre as compared to
the ten year average production,
or a total of approximately $947,-
200 additional income to the ter
ritory. Final payments which are
expected to be made this fall
will make this figure even larger.

Plan Formation
Of County Weed
Control District

After completing a series Cd
eight community meetings Lar
various sections of the county in
terest appears high for the crea-
tion of a legal weed control dis
trict, according to County Weed
Committee Chairman Arthur An
derSon of Sioux Pass.
There seems to be a general
feeling that the noxiouS weed sit
uation has reached a point where
organized control must be EN-
ployed before it becomes a very
costly and slow operation as has
happened in other counties.
The creation of a weed control
district was discussed at a por-
ton of each of the community
meetings held during the first
part of March by members of the
weed committee. Petitions were
put out for circulation and are
now being circulated by school
districts in nearly every section
of the county.
1t was pointed out that ac-
cording to the 1851 Montana Weed
Law a weed district is formed
when landowners owning 81 per-
cent of the agricultural land with
in the district file written con-
sent for the creation of a dis
trict. The county weed commit
tee feels that a weed district COW
ering the entire county would be
more beneficial than having a
district in a certain portion of the
county. Examples were given of
noxious weed problems in all sec
tons of the county by people at
tending the meetings.
Members of the weed commit
tee brought out that a weed con-
troll district provides the means
for the controlling of noxious
weeds on public lands as well as
private lands. This includes all
county, state, and federal owned
and controlled highways as well
as railroad right-of-ways. 1t was
also brought out that once a weed
district is declared by the COM
a tax levy not exceed
two mills on the total tax
able valuation of the county cam
be used for weed control work
only. These funds in most coun-
ties T used to pay the salary of
a county weed supervisor either
or part time and to pay for
spraying and moving weeds along
county roads.
If you desire information ON
the particulars and workings of
a weed control district why not
contact one of the county weed
committee members near you.

sides Arthur Anderson are Vol

{. Of {. Asks
Cooperation In
Parking Problem

A committee from the Chamber
of Commerce merchants commit
tee met Monday with the police
commission to discuss parking
problems in Sidney.
1t has been noted that many OF
the business and professional men
as well as employees of downtown
firms park their airs for long
periods of time on the main
streets, thereby adding to the
congestion and using parking
space that should be available for
shoppers. The Chamber requests
that all business people and their
employees refrain from leaving
their can on the main streets. 1t
has been noted that there is an
abundance of parking space not
over a block from Central Avenue
and it is felt that this parking
space could be utilized by the
business men and their employees.
The Chamber has pledged CO.
operation with the police depart
ment in enforcing the parking
regulations. 1t is hoped that this
suggestion will be complied with
Immediately and the Chamber
requests the police department to
use the means at their disposal
to deal with any violations.
The matter of courtesy tickets
for out of town visitors to Sid
ney was also discussed. 1t was
recommended by the Chamber OF
Commerce committee that the
present policy of issuing courtesy
tickets for minor and unintention-
al violations and requesting CO.
operation in observing parking
and traffic regulations in Sidney
be continued.
Voluntary cooperation by all
residents of the Sidney area will
do much to alleviate the parking
problem.

There are too many persons in
