and John Dinsdale. All but Jur-
gems are lettermen.
In compiling a 90 record so far
this season the "Midgets' are the
best defensive unit of the four
teams entered. In these six games
the opposition has averaged only
As points. They hold wins over
Glendive, Minot ana st. Mary's of
Bismarck. Their losses were to
Miles City, Bismarck and Rugby.
The latter two are tied for second
behind Williston in conference
play. Against Miles City, Dickin-
son lost 1878 but led as much as
20 points before a pressing defense
brought on a complete state of
confusion.
The man to watch On the Midget
five is $40" guard Roger Haug.
Against Glendive he dumped in
rs big points.
Minot year in ana year out al
ways has one Of the top ball clubs
in North Dakota. AS this years
quintet is no exception Sidney can
expect a real battle in its first
game Friday night.
While splitting even in six
games this season the Magicians
have been the victims of some
real close ones. They lost 56-55 to
Dickinson, 65-57 to Williston and
another close one to Rugby.
On the winning side they have

start Don Smutzler and Roger
Bowles at forwards. center Gary
Horner and guards Ron Sem and
Ron Larson. The latter three are
lettermen. Sem and Bowles have
been the big point getters for the
MagicianS. Sidney's Eagles will be
out for revenge. Their biggest hope
will be a shot at Williston in the
second game Saturday night. How
ever to do this they must first beat
Minot and Williston must stop
Dickinson. The Coyotes in four
games owe the past two years
have won three from the locals.
Coach T. w. Kangas, whose
squad had a 33 game winning
streak against Montana teams,
snapped last week by Miles City,
will be out to get the Eagles back
in their winning ways. The squad
which has a Az seasons record
has worked hard the last few days
after a week off over Christmas.
The Eagles are expected to start
Ron Munoz and Al Mann at the
forward spots Bob Jensen at CEN
ter and Craig Price and Gary Nc
Morris at the guard positions.
Sidney, although having the
home court advantage will have
the disadvantage of being the
shortest five in the tournament.

KipIinger Predicts
Business Boom
For The 1865

Washington, D. c. - Business
will boom in the COS, according
to a year-end report from the Kipf
linger organization on changes and
growth during the next decade.
The business boom will flow
from population growth, plus ris-
ing productivity which will in
crease the output per man-hour,
plus higher incomes, plus the pull
of people who want more and bet
ter things for themselves, plus the
nimble shifting of business pat
terms, Kiplinger says.
Companies will expand, despite
painful and expensive growth.
They must add capacity, products,
diversity and new outlets as a
hedge against the rapid changes
that would drive them down and
possibly out.
More chains, larger stores and
many stores taking on additional
lines is the revolutionary picture
for merchandising in the COS. The
food store will become a general
store, with other things than gro
ceries. The end of the trend is not
yet for the super-Super-market.
Pre-packaged and frozen foods, re-
curing more complex equipment,
fancier fixtures will all bring on
new kinds of warehousing needs.
Also there's automation this
tide is rising fast. 1t means more

WHEEL CHAIRS
ARRIVE FOR
LOAN CLOSET

Al Wiederrich. commander of
Richland Post No. II of the Amer
lean Legion announced Tuesday
evening the receipt of more sick
DON equipment to be used by the
invalid folk of northeastern Mon
tana.
The equipment was bought with
the proceeds from the magazine
sales program which they sponsor
ed last year. This shipment brings
the total of such equipment bought
through this program up to sever
al thousand dollars worth.
Throughout the years their pro-
gram has enabled the American
Legion to buy life saving equip
ment such as resuscitators and OK
ygen tents and much sick room
equipment such as hospital beds,
invalid walkers, crutches, Polio
PAX heaters and other conven-
fence items for the use in their
homes. There is no charge for the
use of the equipment nor is it
necessary for people needing it to
belong to a veterans organiZa-
ton or be related to a veteran.
Al Wiederrich, states that the
program is again under way. The
public's support of the program in
past years has been most crafty
ing and continued support is need
ed to again make it successful.
The need for such equipment is
great as demonstrated by the fact
that. it has been in almost con-
slant use from the day Of it's pur-
chase.

Weights are from SO pounds and
under to 1T and over which is

Sidney athletes interested in
wrestling will have their oppor-
tunity starting in January. AS
the sport is new to the local
school there probably won't be
any outside competition for a
year. Three teachers from the
athletic department will assist in
the Sidney program these are
Don Shading, John Grimstad and

FIRE DEPT. PROMPT
ACTION CHECKS BLAZE

A fire In the Sidney Malt Shop
was checked Tuesday night by
prompt action by Sidney firemen
aided by completely calm weather.
The call was put in about 1918
p. m. by Doris Haas, an employee.
Miss Haas had remained at work
after other employees had gone
home to complete cleanup duties,
when she noticed smoke coming
from around the floor register.
Firemen found smoke filling the
basement, and used a smoke ejec-
tor to clear it. Fire Chief Bonnie
Dave stated that the blaze was
caused by a faulty vent pipe, and
had probably been smouldering
for some time before it was found.
The furnace had already been
turned low for the night. Damage
was limited to an estimated $50.
The building, which is owned
by Robert Suckstorff, is located in
a block of business structures,
which are among the older build
ings in the Sidney business dis
trict, all of frame construction.

Sidney Hosts |nvitationa|
Tournament January %

Basketball fans from eastern
Montana and western North Oak
ota have a special treat in store
for them this holiday season as
four top flight high school cage
teams will compete in an Invita-
tional tournment at Sidney, Janu-
airy 2 and 3. Two games will be
played each night starting at 1870
and 900. Winners Friday night
will play for the championship
Saturday night and the trophy
given by Sidney Elks Lodge 1882.
Friday at 1880 Williston, N. D.,
and Dickinson, N. D., will pair off
at 900. The Minot N. D., Magic
ians play the Sidney Eagles. Will
liston is defending champions
beating Sidney a year ago.
If previous games by each club
this season mean anything this
should be the best tourney held
in Sidney in many years. With the
interest already shown by North
Dakota towns especially the house
will be packed each night. Reserve
seat tickets are available and the
doors open at $50 each night. The
price per night is S1.00 for adults
reserved and $50 for students.
Williston, currently leading
Eastern Division play in our neigh
boring state will be slight favorites
to repeat as champs. They already
hold wins over Sidney 1881 and
Minot 65-57. Probably their most
important victory to-date, was a
$3.50 conquest over Bismarck.
The loss was the first to a North
Dakota quintet for the two-time
defending state champion Bis
marck team since Dickinson beat
the Demons Dec. %, 1856.
In other Montana play Williston
defeated Glendive and lost to Class
"B" Wolf Point $3.50.
The Coyotes, very familiar to
local fans, have a veteran quintet
three of whom were on the start
ing five a year ago. These three,
Gary Sukut, Larry Hanson and
Ron Erdman consistently score
well into the double figures and
are the big reason the Coyotes will
be the team to beat.

Hodges testified that he was
awakened shortly after 2:30 am.
by the barking of his dog. MIR.
Hodges said he first attempted to
quiet the dog, talking through a
bedroom window. Failing this, he
dressed and. went into the farm
yard where he heard sounds that
were not customary at that time
of the night. After waiting and
listening to determine the scource
of the sounds, Hodges said he saw
a man, rounding a orner of an
abandoned residential building.
Visibility was good, he said, the
yard being brilliantly lighted by
a bright moon. Hodges testified
that after Melbourne failed to
acknowledge his shouted call, he
returned to his house to secure a
rifle as he was fearful for the
safety of his property and the
safety of his family. Hodges said
he fired three shots from a 308
Winchester rifle, intending only to
warn or brighten Melbourne who
he assumed to be a prowler or
burgler. One of these shots struck
Melbourne on the left-rear side
above the waist line. A Sidney
physician testified Melbourne died
as a result of hemorrhage caused
by damage to the main blood yes
sells and other internal injuries.
Melbourne was not "shot in the
back" as was indicated in earlier
news-reports. Richland County
Coroner Homer Gorder said the
course of the bullet followed
through the left kidney, ca6sing
extensive augmentation of the
left kidney, going on to strike the
spinal column, shattering bone and
muscle tissue. The bullet, then
nearly spent, glanced forward and
upward to sever both the large
main artery and vein of the trunk.
This would indicate the fatal shot
came more in a direction from the
left side, Coroner Gorder said.
The Hodges farm is located at
the end of a dead end road, APP
proximately two and one half
miles from the main travelled road
going west from Highway No. 16
and follows generally the course
of the Missouri River. Mr.. Hodges
testified providers had previously
visited his farm and that he re-
Gently found a quantity of gasoline
missing.
Melbourne's companions testified
that the lapse of time may have
been as much as half an hour from
the time they first heard the dogs
barking and the time when they
heard three shoots in slow sue
cession.

Trailer House Is
Destroyed By Fire

A family spending the Christmas
holidays visiting relatives in New
England, N. D., lost a trailer home
and all personal belongings in a
fire here Christmas night. The
trailer, belonging to Mr.. and Mrs.
Joe Berzel, was parked at the Sid
ney Saddle Club grounds, where
Berzel is caretaker. Clifton Tyree
was passing and saw the smoke,
investigated and turned in the a.
larm, but by the time firemen
could reach the scene, the fire had
too great a start.
According to Fire Chief Bonnie
Dave Jr. the blaze appeared to
have started near a heater. Fire
men fought the blaze for two
hours, but the trailer was total
loss. Dave estimated the loss at
between $4,000 and $4,000 includ-
ing clothing and personal pos
sessions, which included many
trophies won by the Berzel family
in rodeos and saddle club contests
throughout the area.

Urges Law That Would Give
Budget Power To Governor

and lack Of reliable information.
The recommendations resulted
from studies by the 12-member
council during the past 81 months.
Work was started shortly after the
councils creation by the Legisla-
ture in 1857 to recommend and
perform between session services
which aid the legislative process.
State Sen. David F. James Cd
Liberty is chairman. Member
ship also includes five other state
senators and six members of the
House of Representatives.
The Legislative Council
noted that AZ states have vested
their governors with budget MAX
ing authority. Montana is the only
state where the controller has this
responsibility.
In recommending the executive
budget approach, the council cited
two reasons: First, to vest respon-
sibility in an official respc nsible
to the people and, second, to insure
better technical bur yet pref ara
ton. Additional Co.'S, to the tax
payers for such a change was es-
timated at $500 a year.
The study groups report said in
past years departmental requests
for funds with which to operate
have often been extremely high,
while the controllers recommen-
dations to the Legislature have
been unrealistically low-as the
council put it - merely to COM
ply with the arbitrary legal re-
of submitting a budget
within the limits of the antici-
pated revenue of the state. Conse-
quently, these recommendations
are frequently disgarded by the
Legislature"
The Sidney herald., 1958-12-31

HELENA AP) - A law to di-
vest the state controller of all bud
get making responsibility and turn
it over to the governor is proposed
by the Montana Legislative Coun-
Gil. In effect, it would bring con-
troll of state. expenditures a lit
tie closer to home = the taxpayers.
The council, in its first general
report to the legislature, also rec
commended that the governor be
responsible for outlining the fin
ancial policy of the state and be
responsible for recommending any
revenue measures needed to bal
ance state income and spending.
A director of the budget would be
hired to serve at the pleasure of
the governor.
A legislative review of the bud
get by a politically balanced sub
committee also was asked. Under
this proposal a fiscal analyst would
be hired by the council to advise
the council subcommittee on cost
trends.
Playing an indirect part in the
proposals were mushrooming mon
ey requests by state departments.
The budget review subcommit-
tee would include two members of
the Council and two members
each from the Senate Finance and
Claims Committee and the House
Appropriations Committee. The
chairmen of both committees
would be among the proposed
committee members.
1t is the belief of the Legisla-
tive Council that the Legislature
has, in effect, lost much of its
practical control over state expen-
ditures because of ineffective or
Anticipated budgetary practices"
