State Freight
Assn. Manager
Discusses Rates

w. H. Johnson, manager of the
| Montana Citizens Freight Rate
association, met with a group of
local shippers to review the as
sociation's work on the rate stu
alton and future plans. The class
rate reduction of approximately
25 to 300 last fall was a big
step towards elimination of the
North Dakota = Montana border
hump and further reductions are
possible to equalize rates.
The State Association plans to
continue working on the class
rate reduction, to establish a
freight rate audit service for
members, to work on barriers
between Montana and Canada
and to cooperate with other states
towards a proper rate program for
all commodities. Johnson came
here from a rate meeting at Plen-

Plan Study of
Residence Laws

A nationwide study of resi-
dence laws governing the length
of time new arrivals must live
in a community before they be-
come eligible for local public
aid in case of need is planned by
the American Legion and Aux
iliary, according to Mrs. Jean E.
Clark, Auxiliary Child Welfare
chairman
Because so many families are
moving SO frequently, revision of
residence laws may be necessary
to give adequate protection to
families which may become des-
titute in a strange community,
Mrs. Clark explained. Give mil
lion Americans move from one
state to another every year." she
said, "and if they encounter eco
nomic troubles in a new state
they may not be eligible for aid
with resulting hardships for
children. A nationwide study is
needed to show exactly what the
situation is and to indicate any
revisions needed to meet the re-
alities of our shifting popula-
ton"

football banquet Thursday eve-
ming, December IL at $50 in the
Lalonde hotel ballroom. The af-
fair will honor the 1857 Sidney

coach and athletic director at
Montana State College IN Boze-
man.
The record of the Bobcats is
well known in this area but their
successful coach is not. This will

ance may well be the athletic
highlight for 1857 in Eastern Mon
tana.
The smorgasbord meal planned
is expected to be delicious and
all will have the opportunity to
fill up. This of course is es-
pecially important to the players.
The Eagles, thirty strong, COM
piled a record this season of five
wins, three losses and one tie.
They finished tied for third in
the Glass A conference.
This banquet gives the fan the
opportunity to show the players
the backing they have had and
what others can expect in the
future.

being conducted. Those not con-
tacted may reserve a ticket by

Report of Dental
Survey Here for
Water Foundation
State of Montana
Board of Health
Helena; Montana
November 20, 1857


DR.. G.. A. Beagle
Sidney, Montana
Dear DR.. Beagle:
l want to take this opportunit,
to sincerely thank you for YOU
fine cooperation and services dur
ing the recent dental surveys il
Sidney and Fairview.
Enclosed is a copy of the sta
tistical report on the dental sur
vey held in Sidney on November
IA, 1857. Although 1926 were ex-
amined during the survey, yor
will notice that only PIT are in
cluded in our statistical report
In order for this report to be sta
tistically significant we were I'M
able to include children not con-
Stunning the city water supply al
both home and school. This is
due to the fact that quite often
the water in private wells con-
tains considerably higher fluoride
content than the city water sup
ply and would be reflected IN
the final dental decay rates.
In order that you may compare
the decay rates of the children in
your community, the water sup
ply of which contains a very low
concentration of fluorides, with
a community where the water
supply has a little better than
the optimum amount of fluorides
present, we are enclosing a sta
t~istical report on the recent dem
tai survey held in Fairview, Mon
tana, where the average yearly
fluoride concentration is approx
mately "a p. p. m. parts of water.
For instance, the dental decay
rate of the 10-year old children
in Fairview is Sc 2/3% less than
the dental decay rate for the
same age group in Sidney. This
can be attributed primarily to
the insufficient concentration OF
fluorides in the Sidney water
supply.
The dental decay rates of the
children in Sidney could be low
cred by the addition of fluorides
to the public water supply. This
public health measure, known as
fluoridation, is a recognized pro-
cedure throughout the United
States. The full benefits of the
fluoridation of the public water
of Sidney will not be
achieved for 10 or IL years after
the initiation of the program.
This is due to the fact that the
assimilation of the fluorides by
the body, through the consump-
ton of water, both by drinking
the water and eating foods cook
ed in the water, must be carried
On during the time of the growth
and development of the enamel
If the teeth. This is from birth
through 10 to IL years of age.
We hope that this statistical
report and the above information
will be OF value to you in ap-
preaching and making plans to
combat this serious dental health
problem in Sidney. Please do not
hesitate to get in touch with this
,ffice for additional information
,ou may wish regarding the re-
ults of the dental survey held
n Sidney as well as any other
,hase of dental health.
Sincerely yours,
Allen T. Willis, DDS, MPH
Director. Div. of Dental
Health.

Re: Secondary Roads =
Richland County
Dear MI Johnson:
Your letter of October IL, 1857,
addressed to Mr.. Fred Quinnell,
Jr., State Highway Engineer, has
been handed me for reply.
I shall try to answer your ques-
tons in order as you list them.
No. l - 1t is expected the so
miles of the Wibaux-Sidney road,
S-128(3), will cost about $205, 600;
in--state funds about $4,000.
No. - It is estimated the
1866 miles of the Girard Road
west from Montana is, will cost
about %$320,0OO; in state funds
about ~$137,600. This includes re-
grading, ~surfacing and penetra-
ton oiling.
No. 8 - The present amount
of State Secondary Funds for
Richland County stands at $78.-
628.65.
Fiscal Year 1916 to 1851 incl
$213,695 - Average $35,616.
Fiscal Year 1852 to 1855 incl. -
GAO Gao Axyaro1A co7d10
Fiscal Year 1856 - S64,383.
Fiscal Year 1856 $4,393.
Supplementary.
Fiscal Year 1857 - $66,883.
Fiscal Year 1858 - $62,453.
No. 4 The Wibaux-North
project S-128(3), is planned for
grading, drainage and surfacing
with scoria. There are no plans
tor oil at this time, however, the
grade will be wide enough for
future oil.
No. S = Priorities are set by
the Members of the Board of
County Commissioners. You
should properly direct this ques-
ton to them. However, the prof.
ect covers a section of the route
very much in need of improve
ment. 1t is M step in the COM
of a route which will
carry considerable traffic when
complete.
No. 6 - The primary system is
limited in mileage, all of which is
low used. 1t can only be in
creased by Ia if, and when the
present mileage is brought up to
10 % of completion to a salts
'actory standard.
If, and when additional mile
lge becomes available, there are
lozens of very important roads
n the secondary system crying
o be put On the primary system.
No. z = The specifications to
used on the Girard Road will
omply with our standards for
lied roads, being built on the
secondary System. The depth of
ravel base course will be such as
stabilize the surface for the
Sc of an oil pavement. 1t will
upon the stability of the
ub grade soil and the amount
f traffic, probably about one
Dot in depth. On the base course
ill be placed two or three inch
S of cushion course, that is,
-4ths inch crushed gravel. Our
resent plans call for two appli-
atoms of penetration oil to be
sometime in the future
18th a plant mix pavement. Each
yer will have a sufficiently wide
ase for a finished surface "a
let wide.
l hope this answers your ques-
ons.
