What
SO Proudly
We Hail
By JOHN LEONARD

British could take the city, they first had
to knock out the American guns in Fort
McHenry, a stronghold with walls 35 feet
thick and IA feet high commanding both
water approaches to Baltimore.
Early September Is the British men O.
war opened fire on the fort with their big
guns. The bombardment continued all day
and into the night. Though the forts
defenders returned the fire, the fleet was
beyond the range of their smaller guns
The distance also prevented the British
from aiming accurately and of the thou
sands of shots fired, only four burst within
the fort itself. In all, four men we're
killed and about "a wounded in McHenry,
and the walls and buildings were but
slightly damaged That night the British
commander decided to change his tactics,
and under cover of darkness landed a de-
tachment to seize the fort

was bandit hideout by Joaquin

End of Cominform
Pleuses BELGRADE

BELGRADE. Yugoslavia. April
10 R.-Yugoslavia said today
she is glad the Soviet Union has
dissolved the Cominform, but
she doesn't exactly like the way
1t was done.
Specifically. said the major
Communist newspaper Borba.
Yugoslavia was displeased by the
fact that the announcement two
days ago of the dissolution was
accompanied by praise of the
Cominform's positive" work.
/ Yugoslavia had long called for
an end to the Cominform, the
Red information bureau"
founded after World War II with
the aim of promoting world
communism. Yugoslavia was ex-
PEELED from the Cominform after
President Tito broke with Stain.
The organization later repeated
| ly attacked the Yugoslav .presi-
dent.
From the beginning, Borba
said. the Cominform was used
in the unjust policy toward
Yugoslavia.' 1t termed the els
solution IAN important and posi-
tive act which will be useful for
the further development of Com
munist Parties"
In Vienna, the United States
information Agency described
the dissolution as another at
tempt to convince Tito that his
expulsion from the Cominform
was all Stains fault.

Statistics on Dependents
Among reports submitted yes
terday to the advisory group was
a 23-year statistical history Of
dependent children here. Charts
showed that 10 times as many
dependent children were on "re-
lief" in 1888 as there are in 1856
in proportion to the child popu-
lation of both of those years.
In 1888. six of every 100 white
children were receiving depend
ency aid; in 1856. less than one
per 100. For each 100 of non
white children population 4S
were on relief" in 1888, five in
1856.
The District Receiving Home
for Children continued grossly
overtaxed in March. Daily av-
erage population was 96, with
a single day high of 106. AS Of
last March 81, there had been
a total of 1875 admissions for the
month. 1873 more than the total
for March. 1855. OF those pres

The laboratory is run by North

Here were test rocket engines

The District Welfare Advisor
Council yesterday supported de-
Ipartment recommendations fol
new legislation on the commit
ment of juvenile delinquents be-
tween the ages of 16 and Ia
years.
Public Welfare Director Ger
aid M. Shea and Director OF
Corrections Donald Clemmer re-
quested the District Commits
sioners for three amendments OF
Juvenile Court laws. They an
ticipate the relocation of the
National Training School for
Boys, now situated in Northeast
Washington. and the Inaugural
Ition of a Youth Corrections Gen.
ter to be operated by the city.
Changes Sought
The legislative changes sought
are:
/. Commitment of delinquent
boys up to their eighteenth
birthday to the Welfare Depart
ment, rather than the National
Training School.
2. Specific provision for COM
hitting the more serious" de-
linquent between the ages OF
l6 and Is under adult court pro-
cedures.
3. Provision for the Welfare
Department to return to court
those delinquents between ages
l6 and 18 in it's custody found to
be uncomfortable. In such cases
welfare would recommend COM
mitment to the Youth Correc-
tons Center, which would be
under jurisdiction of the De-
partment of Corrections.
Would Ease Transfers
The council also told the Com
miSsioners that the planning and
construction of both the new
National Training School sought
by the Federal Bureau of Prisons
should be co-ordinated with that
of the Districts Youth Center
This would facilitate the trans
fers of District youths from the

THERE WE'RE SOME long, sorrow
full faces around the All cattle barn
last Friday after the prize baby beef
was auctioned off. But the prices the
boys and girls received for the ami
mails probably Offset the pain of hav-
ing to part with their pets that had
been handled since last October
One hundred sixty-six animals from
10 counties were entered in the All
competition, the largest number in the
history of the fair. Paul Circuit, extern
sion livestock specialist, graded II
prime, 1O2 choice. 80 good and only
commercial.
Richard Smiley, Eden, had the grand
champion steer. The 99O-pound animal
brought 81 cents a pound, the highest
price ever paid at All auction, ac-
cording to Cascade County Agent Ted
Fosse, superintendent of the All divi-
sion. Jim Francis, Wilsall, received 81
cents for his reserve champion steer
The 166 head brought an average of
2812 cents. The prime cattle averaged
1912 cents; choice, 2812 cents; good, 81
cents, and commercial, "a cents
pound. At the Great Falls Livestock
Commission Co. that day prime cattle
were selling for around % cents; choice,
81 to 221z cents; good, 10 to 81 cents,
and commercial, II to 1872 cents. Buy
ers of All cattle are encouraged to
bid higher than the regular market
price as an incentive to the Alters and
to help defray the costs of bringing
the animals to the fair.
In the All showmanship division Joe
Pepper, Wilsall, was first; Russell Pep

In the first-year beef showmanship

Larson Fleece
Tops Wool Show

A FINE WOOL ram fleece exhibited
by Arvid Larson of Big Timber won
the grand championship of the wool
show at the North Montana State Fair.
A half-blood range eve fleece shown
by Mike Flynn of Fairview was judged
reserve grand champion.
Some rs fleeces entered by Montana
growers were exhibited in the show,
according to James Bassett of the
Montana farmer-stockman. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1947-1993, 1956-08-15

Montana Wool Laboratory at Montana
State College which has charge of the
show.
This year for the first time the show
had junior division eve class so
that junior exhibitors could compete
among themselves. However, Bassett
said, the quality of the junior fleeces
indicates that it won't be long until
a junior exhibitor will be taking home
the grand champion fleece award.
This was the first year, too, that a
champion fleece has been picked from
each class and the grand champion
selected from these top fleeces. The
winning fleeces shown by Larson and
Flynn were champions in their reSpec-
tive classes and Larson also exhibited
the champion fleece in the farm flock
eve class. The junior eve class cham
pion fleece was exhibited by Mona
Beaudry of Williams.
Trophies for the champion fleeces
were provided by the Montana Wool
Growers Association. Frank Costello,
Billings, judged the show.

City Cleaning Up East End Beach,
Will Study lnter-Related Utilities

At City Council meeting Mon
day evening the city fathers voted
to clean up the beach east of the
seawall and to drain the lake at
King Island Village and also to
clean up that area. They also
decided to invoke the ordinances
prohibiting dumping of garbage
except at designated places.
A letter from Hardstead and
Associates, who will install the
City Lights new 600 XIV diesel
power unit, suggested the city
investigate the possibility of in
Sailing an inter-related power
plant, public water system and
sewage facility.
A letter from VIM. H. Olson,
ANS area director, reminded the
city that a $4,000 federal grant
made in 1851 must be used by
December this year. The money
must be used only on the present
school building and will be spent
on the construction of two class
rooms for the high school on the
north side of the old building.
CAA made a request that the
road to Nome Field, skirting the
cemetery, be moved down toward
the river bank, to facilitate snow
removal in the winter. CAA asked
use of city equipment to help in
moving the road.
The Air Force was granted the
use of the city oil sprinkler, for
which they agreed to oil the
streets in town, supplying con-
demned Air Force OIL
