Farmers Union Oil,
Townsend Has Silver
Anniversary Meet

NSEND-Patrons and stock
holders of the farmer-owned supply
cooperative, Farmers Union Oil Co.,
on May oath celebrated the silver
anniversary of their enterprise at a
noon dinner meeting.
Concentrating the occasion, Hugo

Farmers Union Central Exchange,
presented the cooperative with sill
yer plaque for 25 years of service to
the Broadwater county area.

and analysed by J. w. Fortner, FUCE
fieldman. The report showed that
patron-owners had saved more than
$4,000 on their purchases of farm
supplies in the last fiscal year. The
audit report also revealed that the
cooperative has built a net worth Of
more than 100000 and is free of
debt.
In the election of board members,
Joe Kirschner, son Of charter board
member, was elected president.
Dinner music for the occasion was
provided by the Broadwater County
High School symphony orchestra.

eff you buy ticket to travel on
a bus or railroad, or ship freight in
Montana, or pay natural gas, electric
light, or water bills, you are paying
charges set by the Railroad and Puc-
lie Service Commission" Willard E..
Fraser, Commission candidate, said
in his final statement before the pri-
mary election, today.
During the course of my campaign
throughout Montana, I have found
that great many people are under
the false impression that the Railroad
Commission has something to do with
training and finding jobs for rail-
road men. Nothing could be further
from the truth, for it has absolutely
nothing to do with such things. 1t
does set freight rates, and for that
reason, | believe that it would be
wrong to place a railroad man, as
are my opponents, upon the Com
mission. This would be somewhat like
placing a pelican to guard fish
hatchery.

part of herself.
One slightly embittered rival-a definite

confidence unless they're as rich as she is"
Although Dinah Shore does not hesitate to
admit that she and her producer actor husband,
George Montgomery, have made more than
fair share of dough, and that she is rich beyond
measure in her family life, she denies that these
advantages have helped her personality.
Rather, it's the other way around.

BALTIMORE, June 30 (P).-
The State Roads Commission
told the Maryland Senate yes.
terday it doesn't have the money
to make studies for two lev
Chesapeake Bay bridges.
The Senate asked the Roads
Commission last winter to make
feasibility studies" of two new
bridges. one from Millers Island
east of Baltimore, to Ken
County, and from Calvert Coun.
ty across to Dorchester County
on the Eastern Shore.
In a letter to Senate President
Louis Goldstein, Democrat o.
Calvert, Commission Chairman
Robert o. Bonnell said that
from a practical standpoint il
is virtually impossible to con.
struct the bridges as self
liquidating revenue projects.
Since no other known funds
are available to pay the con-
struction and maintenance cost
it appears to us that unless
monies are made available b!
the Legislature or from som,
other source, the construction o.
the bridges referred to is i'm.
possible"
The reason, he said, is the

prohibits construction of new
