The visit was part of a nation
wide personal visitation survey of

tension OF consumer credit on a
sound basis.
The purpose of this survey is
to determine the extent to which

lection service offices of the asso-
citation are serving the consumer
credit industry. Data from the
survey will also be useful in as
sisting credit granters in the use
of sound consumer credit prac-
tees.
with the joint cooperation of
the consumer and the credit grant
err" the Battersons said, "credit
sales can be of benefit to both
parties. Thus, rather than the

Social Security
AGENT Will Be At
NYAHau April "a

To accommodate those farmers
who are over IS years of age
and who plan to retire and apply
for social security benefits, a
representative of the Billings
district social security office will
be in Sidney Wednesday, April
"a, from 8 a. m. to S p. m. He
will be available at the NYA hall.
To facilitate the handling of
their claims, it will be necessary
for farmers to furnish an extra
copy of their 1856 Federal income
tax return, along with proof that
the tax has been paid. This proof
may be a Postal Money Order
receipt or a bank Money Order
receipt. If the tax is paid by
personal check, then it will be
necessary to wait until the check
has cleared the bank and been
returned to the taxpayer. A copy
Of the tax return stamped by the
Internal Revenue Office will also
be sufficient.
In addition, proof Of age will
be required both from the self
employed farmer and from his
wife, if she is 81 years OF age
or older and is filing for social
security benefits on her husbands
earnings. A birth certificate is
not necessary for this proof. 1t
can be an old life insurance poll
cy, a family Bible kept by the
parents of the individual whose
age is being proved, census rec
ords, school records, or church
records. If school Or church rec
ords are used, they must be GER
titled by the custodian OF the
records and show the date the
record was established.

Acreage Reserve
Agreements Are
LegalyBndng

A Soil Bank Acreage Reserve
Agreement is a legal contract be-
tween the farmer who signed ii
and the U. S. Government, Leo
S. Kolstad, State ASC Admins
trative officer, reminded farmers
recently. Under the agreements,
both parties obligate themselves
to carry out specific provisions of
the program. The agreements to
place land in the 1857 Acreage
Reserve are in effect through De-
cember 81, 1857.
Regulations under which the
program is operated make no
provision for revision or cancel
lation of the Acreage Reserve
agreements after the close Of the
signup for the crop covered by
the agreement, Kolstad explain
ed. The closing date for signing
up period, however, farmers were
permitted to cancel agreements
or to substitute new agreements
for those previously signed.
Compliance with his Acreage
Reserve agreement will determine
whether or not a farmer will re-
ceive his full payment, according
to Kolstad. Each farmer who
signed an agreement agrees to
comply with all acreage allot-
ments established for his farm,
and he also agrees not to Craze
harvest a crop from the lano
designated for the Acreage Re-
serve.
Violation of either of these
provisions will disqualify the
farmer for the payment he
otherwise have earned.
Furthermore, grazing or harvest
ing a crop from the designated
Acreage Reserve land or harvest
ing wheat in excess of the per
acreage" make the farmer
subject to a civil penalty equal
to one-half the payment he would
have earned by qualifying for
The full payment.

MEMORIAL

In memory Of Sven Miller, our
husband and father, who pass
ed away April 20, 1856.
Oh, Dad, we've missed you so,
and still;
Suppress our heartaches as we
will,
They linger on.
But cherished memories, sweet
and clear
Have sustained us all through
out the year
That you've been gone.
So many a kindly little thing,
Your very presence used to
bring,
With joys, no ends
Yet, friends it seems are every
where
And whatever blessing could
compare
With friends,
Memories for us are ever
present,
OF everlasting, always pleasant
laughter.
And If we haven't lived in
vain,
May we hear 1t, sometime,
again,
In the Hereafter.

SPECIAL PARTY at MOOSE LODGE For Easter Hams and Bacon SATURDAY NIGHT $780, Bring Guest You WISH
Home Town Boy
Cuts First Record

II is always good to hear of a
local boy getting his name on the
radio. balm Wire Bob" as he is
known on his radio program has
just cut his first western record
ing. To people of Sidney he is
known as just plain Bob Strack.
The name of the two songs re-
corded are Anywhere l Hang
My Hat Is Home" and "Hill Billy
Lovin!"
Bob was born in Osceola, S.
D., and came to Sidney in 1884
and finished his grade school and
went to high school in Sidney. He
is strictly a western boy. He has
always been a lover of horses and
rode in rodeos in Sidney, Glen
dive, Wolf Point, Miles City, and
while he was in Australia in the
service he rode in a rodeo con-
test in Brisbain, Australia.
Bob is married to LaMerne Nc
Intire of Sidney and they have a
son and a daughter. While they
lived in Sidney, LaMerne was or
ganist and directed the choir at
Trinity Lutheran Church where
Bob also sang in the choir.
Bob went to Radio Engineering
School in Portland, Oregon, where
he received a federal communica-
tons Class A license in radio en-
cheering. He started his radio ca
reer at KxLJ, Helena, Montana.
From there he went to Orange,
Texas, then on to Temple, Texas,
where he was announcer and disc
jockey and also had his own TV
show. Every Saturday night he
went to Dallas to perform on the
Big ID" Jamboree show. From
Temple he went to Shreveport,
Louisiana, where he put on wes-
tern disc jockey shows for two
years. Then his rambling feet took
him to his present station, KIMO,
independence, Mo-, where he puts
on a 5h hour disc jockey show.
Since January /, he has been
Master of Ceremonies" on the
Cow Town Jamboree" in Kansas
City, a two-hour show of which
the last half hour is televised. Bob
plays his guitar and sings western
songs on the show. The perform
ers on the show are the nations
top stars, such as Jim Reeves,
Johnny Horton, the Louvin Broth
ers, Johnny Cash, Farm Young
and many more.
In 1855 "Bailin' Wire Bob" was
voted the 18th high disc jockey
the nation from over 5000 men
considered.
"Bailin' Wire Bob" has just cut
lis first western recording for
Capitol Studios in New York City
inder a Phoebe label which is a
branch of Capitol. Last Saturday
t was the 9th high western rec
'rd at Kansas City and from the
walton it is getting in Sidney from
hose who have heard it, it should
70 far on the western Hit Parade.
Bob deserves the backing of all
friends and the only way
hat n can get anywhere on re-
ordings is for every one possible
0 drop a post card to the local
tation and ask to have one or both
f the records played for you or
omeone else. The popularity at
he different stations is what puts
he record on the hit parade, so
: you haven't heard the record
the studio and ask to have
played. 1t is a fine western J
ecord.-Eileen Hansen.
