STARTS AT LOCAL
SKATING Kinks

With an increased amount of in
terest in ice hockey, the City Rec
reation Department is sponsoring
ice hockey at the rink south of
Quillings east side store. Two
teams have been formed and they
play Tuesday nights at TOO. To
date, about fifteen Junior-Senior
high school boys are in the pro-
cess of learning how to play the
game. Two games have been play
ed with the team captained by
Wayne Sparks winning the first
game 5-3 over Tom Schmoll's
team and then winning over them
again this week 1878. Any other
boys want to challenge Wayne
and his team to a game?
If other boys of Junior Senior
high school age are interested in
playing hockey, they are asked
to contact Richard Buehler. 1t is
that a sufficient interest
is started now SO that next year
a full winters program of hockey
can be arranged. If anyone has
had any experience coaching
hockey or figure skating, they are
asked to contact r. Buehler or
Vic Stephenson at the rink.

Sidney Cleaners
Celebrate 35h
In Sidney

Math Dasinger, ST., founder OF
the present business, moved here
from Scobey and started a tailor
shop and dry cleaning plant in
Sidney in 1921, under the name
Dasinger Tailors and Cleaners.
Dry cleaning facilities then con-
sisted of a hand turned washer,
similar to an old fashioned butter
churn. The pressing was done with
rs pound electric irons AS the
business grew, MI. Dasinger NOV
ed to larger quarters to accom-
modate it. The name of the bus
mess was later changed to Sid
ney Tailors and Cleaners.
In 1947 Mr.. Dasinger formed
a partnership with his four sons
and they erected the present build
ing and added laundry equipment
to provide this service, which was
then not available in Sidney.
Since that time they have con-
tinually improved on the building
and equipment as conditions al
lowed. A major Improvement has
recently been completed in the
redecorating of the interior of
the building and, most important,
the purchase and installation of
the very newest of dry cleaning
equipment.
The new dry cleaning plant uses
synthetic solvent and makes it
possible to handle a larger vol
ume of dry cleaning in a shorter
period of time, thus making bet
ter service available to the peo-
pie of this area.
Present plans of the Sidney
Cleaners & Laundry include gar
ment storage service-storage of
winter garments during the sum-
mer months, and summer gar
ments during the winter months,
to assist in making room in house
hold closets. This service will be
available about the LIST of May.
Mr.. Dasinger retired from active
participation in the operation of
the business 21A years ago. One
the sons, Tony, left the partner
and purchased his own clean
plant in Bozeman.
In addition to the remaining
sons, 16 people r presently en-
in the operation of the
business.
An open house is scheduled for

Eagles Win Two;
Miles City, Laurel
Here This Week

BY virtue OF a uOuDle VIII {
week ago, the Sidney Eagles bas-
ketball team took over possession
of third place in Class A standings
with an ga record. Another twir
killing this week could put the To-
Gals in the runner-up spot.
Havre continues to lead the
pack with one loss in Is games
OF their five games remaining, the
Blue Ponies play only n first
division club, that being Sidney
and seem almost assured of their
first Glass A championship since
1910.
Miles City, Sidney's Friday night
foe, rests in second place, n full
game ahead of the locals with a
go mark. Friday nights tussle
could change that.
Sidney will be meeting the Cow
boys for the first time this season.
additionally, the Custer = Eagle
series is a tough one and indi-
cations point toward this one be-
ing no different. Sidney will travel
to Miles City for a return game
next week.
Gone from the Seattle City" is
the race horse type of play. The
Cowboys, under their new coach,
have played good ball all year as
their record indicates. Sidney can
expect plenty of trouble Friday
night.
Miles City is not as tall a club
as the Eagles have faced in pre-
vious games but do hold a height
advantage. Their big man, center
Jim Stephenson, is 6'3' and has
been a big gun in the scoring col
umn. High scorer for the squad
is forward Charlie Hood. Custer
uses a double post offense. OF their
three losses this year, Havre did
it twice and Billings Central once.
In the preliminary, the Sidney
B squad, coached by Don Smad-
ing, will meet Class c Savage.
Twice before these two clubs have
met and both wins went to the
Warriors, 54-52 and 1852 in
overtime.
Saturday night the Laurel Loco
motives come to town for a re-
turn engagement with the Eagles.
On January 6 the locals, without
the services of four A squad mem
bers, lost to Laurel 1881. Satur-
day night could be a great deal
different.
The former Glass B western club
shouldn't be taken too lightly,
however. Again the opposition Will
have a height advantage and, al
though Sidney has had to over
come this disadvantage in most
games this year, it does make their
Job Just that much tougher.
In the preliminary, the Lambert
currently leading the Glass
c District 2 League and n of
the hottest teams in Eastern Mon
tana, will play the Sidney BIS.
In a game at Lambert January 2,
the young Eagles were trounced,
80-42.
