Plugging Of Continenta|'s Tribal
No. | Marks Second Area Failure

According to a recent report,
probable failure of a deep test
along the Rocky Mountain front
in Glacier County north of
Browning was the highlight of
news in northwestern Montana
oil circles during the week.
The wildcat known as Contin-
entails No. Tribal, went through
the Madison lime and got top of
Devonian at 10000 at a total
depth of lO.492 and is reported
running electric logs to obtain
a picture of formation conditions.
The wildcat showed no prom.
Use in any horizon and according
to reports. unless the log picture
shows that something may have
been overlooked and not tested,
the next probable step will be
plugging.
Earlier reports this week indi-
Gated that this is the second fail.
ure in the area this year-the
first having been the Gulf and
Pan American wildcat north of
Babb. This wildcat went to past
$4,000 feet. quitting in top of
Madison with no shows reported.
To offset the gloom brought
about by these failures was the
commencement of drilling by the
Shell and Union Oil Company in
a wildcat just east of East Gla-
cier Park. which location is stu.
ated ID miles southwest of the
Continental failure and 10 miles
southeast of the Gulf and Pan
American dry hole.
Late reports also indicate the
two dry holes we're rank wildcats
but that Shell Oil and Union
have something tangible to work
on in starting their new explora-
tory venture which is scheduled
to go to Madison lime at about
10000 feet.
To begin with it has been re-
ported that they know they are
drilling on a structure in which
gas and distillate are trapped.
Plans are to commence the new
test pa miles NORTHWEST of Tn.
ion Oils No. I Morning Gun
which flowed more than 5000
cubic feet of gas daily plus IS
barrels of distillate in q five.hour
test.
The zone was plugged off and
the we'll went deeper for add.
tional testing and upon plugging
back was unable to bring the
upper zone back into production.

Our room club decided to have
Halloween party on Thursday,
October 81. We chose four COM
mittees. They were refreshment,
program. games, and cleanup
committees. For refreshments we
had punch, cookies, apples, candy
corn and popcorn. Joan Harring-
ton was the chairman of the re-
freshment committee.
For our program we had poetry
and stories. Joe Collins was the
chairman Carol Isaacs was game
chairman. She planned some
games for us TO play. One of the
games was to be pin the tail on
the cat.
Cindy Endress was the chair
man of the cleanup committee.
She and her committee saw that
the room was left in good order.
Before our party we put on our
masks that we had made in art.
We went to visit some of the fifth
grade rooms. We had a nice time
at our party.

Halloween
In art class two weeks ago we
made Halloween masks. Mrs.
Kunkle, our art teacher, showed us
how to make them. They were
very funny and "scarey." They
were made of colored paper and
all were different. There were In
dians, clowns, egg heads, and
round ones. We wore them at our
Halloween party last Thursday.
A committee of girls helped to
decorate our room for Halloween
with cats, witches, pumpkins, and
pictures. We think it looked very
nice.

Teeth
Our class has studied about
teeth this year. We have learned
that teeth are important to us be-
cause they cut and grind our food,
help us to talk, and give shape to
our face We should all try to
brush our teeth after each meal,
and before going to bed. This will
help to prevent cavities in our
teeth. We should go to the dentist
at least twice year. He will help
us to keep our teeth strong and
healthy.
Have you heard of your six year
molars? They are the teeth that
come in when you are six years
old. They guide your other per-
manent teeth into their proper
places. Your teeth are important
to you. Remember to take good

Savings Stamp Program
Our fifth grade class is in charge
of the Savings Stamp Program this
year in the Lakeview Avenue Ele-
mentary School. We did many
things to get ready for our first
Stamp Day on October s. We wrote
letter to Mr.. Jameson, Director
of the Treasury Department for
Delaware. He sent us some very
useful material We also wrote a
letter to the parents of each child
in our school asking them to en-
courage their children to buy
stamps. Before our first Stamp
Day the Treasury Patrolmen went
to the rooms they had chosen and
gave talks about our Savings
Stamp Program. Mrs. Kunkle, our
art teacher, helped US make Trea-
sury Patrolmen badges.
At 900 o'clock each Tuesday
the Treasury Patrolman collects
the money from his room, then he
checks it to see that the amount
is correct. Each Patrolman brings
the money to the tellers to re-
check. The bankers sort and wrap
the money. Mr.. Kerr collects the
money and takes it to the post
Office to buy the stamps for us.
Later in the day the stamps are
delivered to each room. Last week
our school bought 2,137 stamps.
Only 34.7% of the boys and girls
in our school bought stamps last
week. We hope more boys and
girls will try to buy stamps each
week.
We must learn to save for the
things that we will want or need
later in our life. We also help
our country when we buy United
States Savings Stamps.

ually available to you are U. S.
prime, U. S. choice, u. S. good, U. S.
standard, U. S. commercial and U. S.

knowing grades is very impor-
tant, but knowing meat cuts is inn
portant too," says Miss Nawn.
when beef is plentiful and prices
are reasonable you might consider
larger cuts of beef and using one
cut in a variety of ways"
A blade chuck roast can be di-
vided so a housewife can prepare
four different types of meat dishes.
A steak may be taken from it, part
used for hamburger, part for stew
ing beef, part Of pot roast. Steaks
cut from rib roasts, says Miss Nawn,
compare in palatability, tenderness
and flavor with the more expensive
club steaks.
People buying larger cuts of beef
will find lower cuts such as stan
dard and commercial suit their
needs for hamburger, stewing beef
and meat loaf and cost less per
pound. Miss Nawn says however,
that if you're planning on roasting,
or broiling, it's wiser to limit your
selection to U. S. choice or good
grades.

Knowing the. appropriate grad
meat dish is the first step to con-
slider in menu planning, according
to Kay Nawn, marketing specialist in
the Livestock Branch, Department
of Agriculture. Miss Nawn travels
all over the country talking to con-
sumner groups on meat selection.
She says if you bone up on the sub
ject you will spend your meat dol
lar wisely and please the head of
the house and the kids.
It's easy to disting iish different
cuts of meat, she says, if you look
at the federal grade stamp. This
also tells you the cut. There are
some 40 federal meat graders in
all important meat marketing CEN
ters throughout the country. They
judge meat for quality and then
stamp long purple ribbon on it so
that even on a relatively small re-
tail meat cut you should be able to
see some portion of the marketing.
To learn more about these federal
grades. you can write to the U. S.
Department Of Agriculture. Wash
ington 25. ID. c., and ask for Leaflet
$40, u. s. Grades for Beef. Single
copies are free. The booklet is one
of the 10 most popular among gov
ernment publications.
The class of meat obtained frcm
cattle varies with age. From birth
until three months of age, cattle
meat is classified as veal; from
