st. Cyr introduced all of the
team captains whose responsible

be concluded in two days, it is
hoped. This part of the fund drive
is expected to net about $1,000
to fulfill Sidney's goal of $4,000.
Charles Healey, Field Executive
from Billings was introduced, and
gave a brief talk emphasizing the
Importance of the scouting move

is always a need for not only
funds, but also for more volun-
teer adult participation in the
scout program, and he urged any
one interested in helping the
scouting program here in Sidney
to contact Gil Foss, Richland
County Chairman.

a team victory. Every player on
the bench saw action and all
contributed to the win.
1t must be said that Coach
Don Shading had things figured
right last week end. The Sidney
Coach felt Billings Central could
be had. He not only predicted
right for Friday but on Saturday
too. On that day his wife Jean
gave birth to a fine baby girl.
Congratulations.
Billings Central received the
opening kick but the Sidney line
held, taking over on their own
40 the Eagle backs, Craig Price,
Ron Munoz, Doyle Dotson and
Dick Helten alternated to move
in eight plays to the IL yard
line. From there Helten skirted
his own right end for the open
ing tally. The converted fullback
also ran for the point.
Starting from their own 33 the
much heavier Rams, finding their
running game stalled, took to the
air. Completing three out of four
losses all for long gains, Billings
moved deep in Sidney territory to
the 5-yard line. On the next play
however, the hard hitting Eagle
line caused a Ram tumble and
Ron Quilting recovered.
The locals were forced to kick
and the Rams regained possession
on Sidney's 81 as the first period
ended. On the next play a Kerry
pass to end Bert Emery
put Billings back in the game
a I'D. The point try was
stopped.
The balance of the first half
found neither team able to get
a threatening drive started. Bill

Fire Prevention
Week in County
Great Success

According to Fire Chief Bonnie
Dave, Jr. and Fire Prevention
Week Chairman, w. A. Babe)
Turner, the local departments
campaign during National Fire
Prevention Week, Oct. 6 to IL, was
the most successful in the 10 years
this program has been carried out.
Programs, including talks on
fire prevention, first aid and fire
extinguisher demonstrations, and
descriptive movies, were put on
before IL groups throughout the
county, including a public meet
ing at the local fire hall. 1855
people attended these meetings and
were given first hand information
on fire prevention. Pamphlets and
literature, including home fire pre-
vention checklists, were passed
out at each meeting and also dis
tributed on main street in Sidney.
A tremendous amount of effort
was put forth by the local depart
ment during this all-important
week and the members should
certainly be commended.
In commenting on the weeks ac-
tivities, Chief Dave indicated that
while this week is set aside for
special concentration on fire pre-
vention, he could not put enough
emphasis on the fact that this is
not just a week long affair, but
that it should be a year around
proposition. He also indicated
that he felt this years campaign
to be the best to-date and on
behalf of the department, ex-
pressed thanks to all those individ-
and firms whose cooperation
made it such a success.

November. The final location of
a safflower processing plant in
the area will not be determined
until we can see how we'll the
crop does throughout the area.
If safflower does as well as ex-
pected, plans are to build a pro-
cessing plant in the area to pro-
les the 1858 crop.
The use of safflower oil has
been increasing rapidly primarily
as a raw material for the paint
and varnish industry. However,
it is also an excellent edible oil
and has been used as such for
many years in India, Europe and
Japan. Recently it has attracted
considerable interest as an edible
oil in the United States because
it is a highly unsaturated oil
having a higher linoleic acid
content than any other edible
oil. Linoleic acid is a fatty acid
which recent medical research
has indicated may be very bene-
fetal in reducing cholesterol lev
els in the blood. For this reason
small quantities of the oil have
been sold to pharmaceutical firms
who are marketing products
aimed at combating ar~terioscle-
rosis, a type of heart disease.
The meal that remains after
extraction of the oil is recognized
as an excellent protein supple
ment for livestock.
The Pacific Vegetable Oil Cor
poration has been actively en-
gagged in the vegetable oil indus
try since 1927. The company has
worked with safflower since 1850.
General Mills, the worlds largest
miller, is also a major producer
of industrial oils and protein
meals. Pacific Oilseeds, Inc. has
been a pioneer in the develop
ment of safflower as a crop in
California and several other
western states. This company
has a large safflower research
program designed to improve the
chemical and agronomic charac-
teristics of this crop.
1t is hoped that safflower will
prove to be a stable crop in the
area and that it will open up a
new source of income for farmers
in eastern Montana and western
North Dakota.
Sincerely,

Stlll very much IN the thlcH
of the race for Glass A cham
pionship Sidney travels to Har-
din to play the unbeaten once
tied Bulldogs this week end.
Actually, according to the point
system of ratings the Eagles
although suffering one loss with
their four wins are tied at eight
points each with Great Falls
Central and Miles City. The Mus
tangs have won four, lost none,
and Custer is Al. Hardin, with
a SOL record has seven points
and Havre 80 has six. However,
in spite of the points, Great
Falls must lose at least once and
Sidney win the rest if they ex-
pect to at least share in the top
honors.
Hardin's opening win over
Miles City 1875 was impressive
but since then their wins of 60
over Glasgow and 21-19 over
Laurel, along with their 6-6 tie
with Lewistown does not show
more power than Sidney should
be able to handle.
The Eagles on the other hand
had some trouble with Glasgow
winning 1914 but easily beat
Lewistown 1876. They play Gus
ter and Laurel the final games
of the season.
No scouting report is available
on the Hardin Bulldogs. They r
known to be somewhat smaller
than Sidney and fast. Their rec
ord indicates them to be an en-
thusiastic team with a lot of
spirit and drive.
The Sidney team will leave by
bus Friday morning. AT the time
of this writing Coach Shading
was undecided as to those def
initely making the trip but it is
expected that the usual travel
ing squad of 22-26 players will
go.
Last Saturday the Sidney B
team lost a close n 1877 in a
game with Miles City BIS here

Sidney "a - Billings C. 10
The bigger they are, the harder
they fall. That was the case in
Sidney last Friday night as the
smaller Eagles thoroughly troun-
ced the Rams from Billings Cen
trail on Swanson Field. The To-
Gals were outweighed in this one
an average of 20 pounds per man.
In the first meeting on the
gridiron between these Glass A
schools the big difference was
desire to win.
Sidney, anticipating a tough
ball game, had the spirit and
and completely DOM
play except in the passing
department. The smaller Eagle
line had little difficulty opening
holes for its fleet backs as they
.ut-rushed the Rams 228 yards
to 10.
Attempting to redeem them
selves after their loss to Havre
the week before, the Sidney
eleven piled up their biggest
score of the 1857 season.
