Christmas AID
A Stunt

A paid classified ad which ap-
peared in the December goth
issue of The Sidney Herald
stated that Ray Wright was
paying highest prices for old
Christmas trees. This was a hoax.
However the ad did illustrate the
popularity of Sidney Herald ads
and Ray Wright's night show on
KICK. Ray received rs calls
last Thursday night right after
the Herald hit the street. The
composer of the ad is still I'M
known but the field has been lar
rowed down to Doc Baker. Jerry
Rogers, or M of the Dasingers,
Matt, Walt or Bob, and then of
course, there is Veryl Moser.
This Christmas tree deal ended
a hectic year for Ray Wright.
1855 started for Ray with a
March of Dimes marathon fol-
lowed by a Sarah Vaughn con-
test, mumps, Davy Crockett, Ma
tional Guard, Rock Around the
Clock, golf, Yellow Rose of Texas,
Bicycle for Butchie, Gartside

Eagles Travel To
LaurelAndHardm
This Week End

After a three week layoff the
Sidney Eagles basketball five re-
sumes class A conference play
this week end when they travel
to Laurel on Friday and Hardin
Saturday.
Little is known of these two
| squads although Laurel appears
to be the stronger of the two. The
Locomotives have defeated Glen
dive on the latter's. court. stop
ped Hardin in a thriller and were
barely nosed out by Billings Cen
trail. Hardin has no league wins.
Both of these schools are new
to Glass A basketball and both
have been powers in their for
mel Glass B leagues.
Coach T. w. Kangas took nine
A squad members plus the team
manager as his travelling squad.
Four members of the varsity did
not make the trip being disciplin-
ed for breaking training rules
before the holidays.
Those making the trip are .Jer-
ry Smith, Philip Mischief. Erwin
Schmidt, Bob Potts, Grin An
derson, Ron Quilting, Dale Sails
bury, John Marman, Larry Hen
derson and manager Dave Little.
With the exception of the week
before Christmas the Sidney
squad had many hard practice
sessions during the HOLIDAYS. One
big thing the Eagles lack is con-
sistency in play and until they
can develop such they can't be
considered a power in Glass A
ball. In some previous games this
season the Eagles have lost COM
handing leads by having that one
pad quarter. Too many times that
me has been the third.
So far Sidney is playing 500
,all but have lost only one out
three in conference play. At
lines they've shown they can
compete with the best.
In other games this week end

Taxpayers Urged
To Fill Out Own
Forms IF Possible

Last year the Internal Revenue
Service figured it expended Sc
million in direct taxpayer as
sistance. This vas computed on
a basis of IL thousand of its en-
ployees using over 2 million man.
hours assisting the nations tax
payers. Much of this is unnec-
cessary. We, in the western re-
gion's eight states and Hawaii,
expended 1864 thousand and util-
lied over fifteen-hundred en-
ployees.
This year it is hoped to re-
duce this amount by so per
cent. We, of the Internal Revenue
Service in Montana, are calling
on the press to help gain tax
payers acceptance of our new
Monday Opening Plan" We hope
to efficiently confine our public
assistance campaign to one day
per week.
Our objective Is to help tax
payers help themselves
This will provide more time to
apprehend tax dodgers and COL
lect delinquinet accounts. More
over, we can make legitimate re-
funds due taxpayers O
promptly. No one will be denied
information, but we want to
withdraw from the practice of
preparing the returns of those
who are able to make up their
own.
During the income tax filing
from January ! to April
is, 1856, international releases
including editorials, news fea-
lures, facts and anecdoes will
stress the Monday Opening
as well as supply infor-
nation to assist the taxpayers in
the preparation of their returns.

Sidney Will Be
Host To Two
B. B. Journeys

Sidney which is widely recog-
nized in Montana basketball cir
Giles will play host to two very
important basketball tournaments
in February and March.
The Glass c District No. 2 tour
nament will be held February 16,
II, 18 and the participating towns
will be Bainville, Brockton, Cul-
bertson, Froid, Fraser, Lambert,
Richey and Savage. This tourna-
ment will be operated in about
the same manner as previous
years. The value of this tour
nament to local business has been
demonstrated in its operation over
the past several years and while
no specific pre-tournament local
season ticket sale is required. the
community will be canvassed be-
ginning Saturday, January Z, and
everyone is urged to give this
three-day basketball event all
financial support possible in or
der to insure its continuation in
Sidney. Adult season tickets are
priced at $500, and student sea-
son tickets at $3.50. All local r
rangements and details for this
Glass c tournament are being
made through the office of Har-
ry F. Mikelson, tournament man
ager. Please make all INQUIRIES
at his office, telephone No. is.
The Glass A Montana State
Tournament will be played at
the Sidney high school gym Feb
ruary 20, March /, 2, 8. Partici-
pating towns will be Billings
Central, Glasgow, Glendive, Great
Falls Central, Hardin, Havre,
Laurel, Lewistown, Miles City
and Sidney.
This is the first time Sidney
has ever played host to a tourna-
ment of this magnitude. Because
of limited seating the entire main
floor is being set aside for season
ticket reservations. These main
floor season reserved tickets pric-
ed at $3.50 will go on sale at the
superintendent office Wednes-
day morning, February /, as will
the student season tickets good in
the balcony. A heavy demand is
anticipated for these season tick
cts and in order that everyone
will be treated fairly the purchas-
er is requested to come to the
superintendent office on or after
February l, and make his pur-
chases. Requests for tickets to
be set aside cannot be accepted.
Your cooperation and under
standing will help solve what is
probably the biggest problem an
.icipated in this four-day ath-
letic extravaganza.
Supt. Raymond A. Gerber is
tournament manager and all in
luiries connected with the Class
tournament are to be made
through his office. The telephone
number is 1924.
Housing and eating = arrange
nents are being handled through
Dan c. Price, secretary-manager
If the Sidney Chamber of Com
nerce, phone number 1876.
1t is hoped that each of the
even Glass A sessions will be
% well supported that all ex-
,enses a be paid. Indications
rom visiting participating COM
nunities point to keen interest.
Zach of these towns is being ap-
,ortioned season tickets to be
old in advance of the tourna-
nent.
