quite different than hunting with
a rifle and a lot of lessons were
learned in those first few hours.
1t takes a lot of patience and
planning to get within range for
a shot with a bow and it soon
became evident that there is a
lot more room around a deer
than there is in it. Nationwide
the average distance for a kill
was SO yards which indicates the
type of stalking necessary to get
into position for a good clean
shot.
After three full days of camp
ing and many pleasant mem
cries behind, the group broke
camp and headed for home, but
not without considerable success.
Pictured above are two of the
deer taken on this trip. Clarence
Amweg with a fine 240 pound
S point buck taken at approxi-
mately 80 yards with a clean
one arrow kill and Henry
Schwenke with a nice fat doe
taken at a distance of 20 yards
which was also killed with one
arrow.
Eager to get their deer with a
bow and arrow some of the or
iginal party made a trek back
to Fort Peck and after two more
days of hunting success came to
three more hunters, Howard Oh
son, Gordon Quilting and Dale
Becker.
All of the successful hunters
named above are members of
the Sidney Bowhunters Club and
also to be included in this group
of successful bow hunters is Rob-
ert Rein, formerly of Sidney and
a member in the club, who filled

the bill, hoping to correct some
of the research provisions in the

that in the near future the towns

Tickets for Don
Cossack Chorus
Still Available

Those who have not yet pur-
chased tickets for the Don Cos
sack Concert ire urged to dc
so as soon as possible. Tickets
are still available from members
of the Sidney Music Club, mem
bers of the ~Jayceens, at the Tur-
ner Drug, Sidney Music Mart,
Sidney Drug and the Lalonde
Hotel, as well as business places
and surrounding communities.
The Cossacks have a varied
program, ranging from stately,
religious music to the stirring
folk melodies, and including clas-
steal music only singable by high
ly trained choruses.
Repertoire also includes excit-
ing Cossack dances and popular
American melodies.
Performance by such a world IA
NOUS organization, could do a
great deal to broaden our educa-
tional and cultural opportunities
for adults as well as children,
states Earl Nelson, chairman of
the Jaycee committee in charge
of the concert.
In II years of singing more
than 1000 concerts in the United
States, the Cossacks have missed
only one performance when a
a locomotive of their train in
Kentucky exploded: probably a
unique record in show business.
G.. Soloduhin, the intrepid Cos
sack, whose hair-raising dagger
dance is one of the most exciting
interludes in the program of the
Gen. Platoff Don Cossack Chorus
and Dancers. Not forgetting the
famous Cossack dances for which
the chorus is famous. Especially
the Lesginka - the spectacle of
a dancer juggling 10 knives from
shoulders, and clenched
teeth is startling enough to hold
any audience breathless: while in
the final dance Kozatchok, a doz-
en- of the men join in the dance,
each vieing with the other in
spectacular leaps and whirls while ,
the rest of the chorus egg them
on with shouting and clapping.

close Wednesday night, October
II. The zeal and cooperation of
our workers have been superb,
said Monsignor Donovan, and
there is every indication that peo-
pie of Montana and the Diocese
of Great Falls will rally to the
cause of the Daily Family Rosary
- a cause to which Father Pey-
ton, its modern apostle, has dedi-
Gated his life and efforts - aided
by the innate truth of his two
famous slogans: "The family that
prays together, stays together"
and "A world at prayer is a
world at peace"
Rosary Pledges from the Do
cese of Great Falls will be added
to the ten million families now
the Daily Family Rosary
in Australia, Ireland, England,
Continental Europe, India, Paki-
stan, Canada and the United
States as a result of successful
Rosary Crusades in these coun-
tries.

Boy Scout Annual
Breakfast To Be
October 18th

AT a breakfast to be held at
700 A. M, October 18th in the
Elks Lodge, the 1856 Boy Scout
annual finance drive will kick off,
under the general Craftsmanship
OF Harold Mercer. Approximately
seventy-five workers are expected
to attend the breakfast. The 1856
goal for Sidney is $4,000. OF this
amount 100000 has already been
pledged by local business men
who are also contributing to a
separate fund drive to raise funds
with which to pay for, and i'm
prove the Flaming Arrow Ranch,
summer camp for Boy Scouts in
the Yellowstone Valley Council.
Funds realized from the an
nual finance drive are deposited
in the Yellowstone Valley Council
treasury. The benefits which come
back to the Sidney Scouts are
many and important. The Coun-
Gil, which has its office in Bill
lings employs professional scout
ers whose work it is to visit all
local troops and communities,
training leaders, assisting volun-
teers in organization and plan
ming of various projects. The
council office maintains central
records and furnishes guidance
and instruction material for all
troops within the council. One
of the most important functions
of the council is to operate and
maintain summer camps for all
troops within the council. All the
professional staff except the exec
utive (there will be five if the
council budget can be raised,) live
at the various points throughout
the council, which consists of all
counties from Bozeman to the
North Dakota border, south of
the Missouri River.
With the acquisition of the
beautifully situated new Flaming
Arrow Ranch near Bozeman,
Scout participation in the sum-
mer camp program increased
greatly In 1856, and is expected
to increase even more in future
years. The council bears all OPP
Grating expenses Of the camp, ex-
cept for cost of meals, which has
been $11.00 per week
Anyone interested in helping
the Scouts on this finance drive
is asked to contact Harold Mer-
Ger, chairman. The drive is ex-
to canvass all homes In
Sidney, and should be completed
by Friday, October 18th.
