Coach Kangas
Member of State
Clinic Team

Coach Toby Kankas, director
of athletics at Sidney high school
is a member of a three-man team
which will conduct a statewide
basketball rules clinic starting
| Saturday, November 2.
Kangas will represent coaches
and Ray Baker of Glendive will
represent the officials. Rex Dali
ley, executive secretary of the
Montana high school association,
will travel with them.
The purpose of these clinics is
to interpret basketball rules which
r made by the National High
School Foundation. These rules
change each year and if the
rules are not interpreted uni
formly throughout the state the
result would mean a difference in
statewide officiating.
The clinic team met at Miles
City where rules and interpre-
tations yer presented to them
and it is now their job to get
this uniform Interpretation out to
all concerned officials and coaches
in the state.
Coach Kangas said that there
has been an attempt to get uni
form Interpretation for a number
of years and that now it seems
to be getting some satisfactory re-
suits.
Clinics will be held at Billings,
Bozeman, Butte, Missoula, Kali
spell, Great Falls, Havre, Lewis
town, Miles City and Wolf Point.
Kangas was the guest speaker
a THE Rocky Mountain College
Alumni banquet at Billings Oct.
26. His topic was centered around
the problems of coaching and
teaching in the Montana high
schools.

Dental Survey
Planned for
County Schools

Children learn best when they
are healthy and happy. Tooth
decay is a disease that affects
everyone including children who
cannot be healthy if his teeth are
decaying.
What are the dental needs of
school children? To obtain an
answer to this question, a dental
survey will be conducted in the
elementary schools of Sidney. The
information obtained from this
survey will give the necessary
information to help to develop
an effective dental health pro-
gram.
at is impossible to combat so
widespread a disease by dental
treatment alone" said DR.. Allen
T. Willis, director of the Div
ision of Dental Health, Montana
State Board of Health, as he ex-
planned the program to the facul-
ty of the Sidney Public Schools
in a special meeting October 81.
He added, Gan educational pro-
gram is necessary, and with the
information gained from this sur
sey a program can be established
which will result in better dental
health for school children"
This dental survey will be con-
Quoted November IA. Due to the
large school enrolment and short
age of personnel, it will not be
practical to inspect the teeth Of
all children. The children to be
inspected will be selected at ram
dom.
This survey does not replace
a regular thorough examination
by the family dentist. 1t is a
survey for the purpose OF at
tempting to establish the total
dental needs of all children. The
cooperation Of all parents is asked
in order to make this program
effective.

Conservation
Reserve Incentive
Increased for SO

Under the Soil Banks 1855
Conservation Reserve program
farmers are offered greater in
centives than were available last
year to switch their land from
cultivated crops to trees anc
shrubs, Leo S. Kolstad, Agricul-
tural Sterilization and Conserva-
ton Administrative officer, has
announced. Additional incentives
are offered for putting the whole
farm unit into trees.
Among the incentives offered
is a recent regulation which per-
mits sportsmen's groups, conser-
walton organizations, state fish
and wildlife authorities to help
the farmer pay the entire cost
of establishing trees and shrubs
for wildlife habitat and ponds
for fish. The conservation re-
serve pays up to 80 percent of
the cost for establishing the prac-
tice, Kolstad explained. Under
the program this year outside
help may be received to pay that
share of the cost of establishing
cover not covered by the Soil
Bank. In the past, money con-
tributed from outside sources to
assist the farmer in establishing
the practice was deducted from
the Government payment.
Another attractive offer to en-
courage tree planting included in
the 1858 Conservation Reserve
provides for S or 10 year con-
tracts, at the option of the pro-
Queer, for land devoted to trees
or shrubs. Previously, all tree and
shrub paintings were under 10
year contracts only. The 10-year
requirement remains in effect for
tree paintings for forestry pur-
poses.
New regulations to encourage
putting entire farm units into
trees authorizes County ASC
committees to increase the nom
diversion rate Of annual payment
up to 100 percent of the regular
rate when the entire eligible &C
reage on the farm is placed in
the Conservation Reserve and all
the land is planted to trees.
Cropland under contract in the
Conservation Reserve that is
planted or is to be planted to
trees amounts to about one
twelfth of all farm land planted
to trees with Federal Government
assistance. Over a half million
acres of land to be planted to
trees have been placed in the
Conservation Reserve to date.
Detailed information about the
1858 program is available at all
County ASC offices. Kolstad con-
cluded. Signup for the program
Is now under way and will con-
tinue through April Is. 1858.
