|Methodists Rup
|Inteqrotion Moves

MONTGOMERY. Ala. June 2
R.-Alabama Methodists spoke
out yesterday against any fur
Their moves toward race mixing
within their church.
With only a handful of opposi-
ton votes, delegates to the an.
|nual meeting of the Alabama
Conference approved a "hold tht
fort" resolution on segregated
congregations.
While not taking issue with q
proposed change in the genera
church constitution on mergers
|of white and Negro churches
the resolution limited that fur
their moves in that direction
would be 'unwise.
The resolution suggests that
the general conference should
refrain from considering further
changes Fin our Jurisdictions
structure" which could "impail
the declaration and covenant Of
union" under which three Meth
odist branches came together
seven years ago.

Project, was presented with &
Meritorious Service Award by

vice from the Secretary of In
terror. at the 9th Annual o. and

MIR. Person was cited for 40
years Of outstanding service.
During the years Mr.. Person
has given assistance to the de-
velopment of other Irrigation
projects while at the same time
he has raised the standards and
increased the efficiency in the
operation of the lower Yellow
stone. The two serious and cost
ly problems of the lower yell
lowstone project have always
been the battle against silt, car
ried in the river water, and adj
equate drainage of land to keep
it from going sour or becoming
waterlogged. During the years
Mr.. Person and the project
boards have worked realistically
to overcome these problems. In
more recent years they have had

servation Services in Montana and

North Dakota.
1t was during Mr.. Persons
previous years as manager of the
Lower Yellowstone Irrigation
Project that extensive main canal
engagements were made and the
intake was increased from 800
second feet of water. The en-
largement was made because of a
greater demand for water in the
modern cropping system and adj
ditional acreage brought under
the project. However, during ex-
tended dry weather periods an
irrigation rotation system is still
necessary, not because the river
is too low to divert into the main
canal, but because of the great
demand for water during such
periods even though the main
ditch is running full.
It was January Is, 1856 when
MIR. Person, accompanied by
Volney Anderson and Lyle Pc
terson, experienced irrigation
farmers, appeared before meet
ings in Edmond and Minot, N. D.,
explaining lower Yellowstone op-
erations and presenting the ad-
vantages and problems which
confront water users. That ter
ritory in North Dakota is con-
templating the development of a
reclamation project.
The lower Yellowstone area has
continued to be the Persons
home for over 40 years. They own
property in Sidney and raised
their children in that community.
Their son, Les Person, exper-
fenced in project operation, is
manager of the Angastura
Reclamation Project of $4,000
acres at Hot Springs, S. Z. An
other son, Lawrence, is an at
torney at Wolf Point and their
only daughter, Mrs. Lyle Peter
son. is the wife of a well known
irrigation farmer north of Sid
ney.
w. A. Dexheimer, Commission
er of Reclamation, has written
Mr.. Person thus: "The Depart
ment has granted you its Meri-
torious Service Award for out
standing achievements in the
field of operation and mainten-
ance of irrigation systems" and
pictured here is Frank M. Gin
director of Region 6, pre-
Senting the service award to Mr..
Person at the Billings meeting.

Are Henilooms
In Fashion?
BY Dave Choaie

l suppose that's like asking
| if sentiment is in fashion any
/ more. l remember when vir-
| tually every home had one or
/ more heirlooms - things that
| had been handed down through
! the years from grandmothers
to their daughters and then to
their daughters.
Somehow we never seemed
to think of men cherishing heir
looms. 1t was always the wo-
menfolks. And how they loved
them! An old ring or pair of
earrings or maybe a watch that
grandmother wore IN her we'd
ding day years and years ago.
Actually heirlooms are just
as much Sin style" today as
ever. But maybe you don't
think about it that way. Let
me give you an idea. When
you come here and select a
ring, a bracelet, a watch or
perhaps a silverware service
for your family, it will be
passed down. to your loved
ones and will be mellowed with
age and sentiment.
/ am taking this opportunity
to invite you to come in and
see our Heirloom jewelry". 1t
is really beautiful. You can Sc
lect anything you like, know
ing that it is of sterling char
acter and craftsmanship - and
happily you can pay for it on
the easiest of terms If you de-
sire.

brance" today. 1t will be one
