Sidney Fire Dept.
Places High in
National Contest

Two awards have been issued
to the Sidney Volunteer Fire De-
partment in a national contest
on 1857 fire prevention programs,
it was announced by Bonnie
Dave, Jr., Sidney fire chief.
The National Fire Protection
Association, a non-profit organi-
cation devoted to fire safety i'm
provement, reported that Sidney
was third in the state after
Billings and Great Falls, both
fully paid departments, and was
also named as one of the six de-
partments in the nation in a city
of 5000 population or less for an
honorary award.
This double award was describ-
ed by Fire Chief Dave as the
best the city has ever received.
He issued a blanket commenda-
ton to the fire department and
to residents of Sidney for their
cooperation in annual cleanup
and fire safety programs and ex-
pressed appreciation to the Com
missioners of Richland county, the
Junior Chamber of Commerce,
and the Sidney Chamber of Com
merce for their aid in promoting
the 1857 program.
Babe Turner, chairman of Fire
Prevention Week activities for the
department, states that it is quite
unusual for a fully volunteer de-
partment to place in national
competition and Sidney has done
so for the past three years. The
department fills two roles; it is
the Sidney Volunteer Fire De-
partment and is also the official
fire department of Richland
County. One of the trucks is
jointly owned by the city and
county.
Sidney was also awarded third
place in the state for this con-
test last year. In addition to this
award the department also re-
ceived a citation from the United
States Chamber of Commerce and
an Honorable Mention plaque
from the National Association of
Insurance Agents, the only one
given in Montana.
The Sidney Fire Department
has as members, Bonnie Dave,
Jr., chief; George Knaff, Stub
-Benzinger, Axel Anderson, Joe
Meyer, Oscar Anderson, Russ
Dishon, Dan Price, Babe Turner,
Lloyd Wick, Bill Ford, Bud Mel
son, Bob Jarvis, Harold Mercer,
Chris A. Hansen, Bill Mullin, Ted
Lessman, Jack Crosgrove, Bob
Peterson, Clint Fulkerson, Hurry

Shaw, James Peterson and En-

Soil Bank
Helping Reduce
Surplus

Secretary Ezra T. Benson, in a
year-end statement, said that two
major programs contributed to
the progress the Department of
Agriculture made in reducing
farm surplus stocks in 1857:
First, he declared, During the
1887 fiscal year, farm commodity
exports totaled Al billion dollars,
which is an all-time record. An
important factor in this accom-
plishment was sales for for
eign currencies under P. L. $50,
the Agricultural Trade Develop
ment Act"
He ranked the Soil Bank as
the second factor in cutting sur
plus stocks. The Secretary explain
ed: 1.-THE Soil Bank helped check
the buildup Of surpluses as farm
ers withheld just under 80 mill
lion acres Of cropland from pro-
duction. Because OF the Soil
Banks Acreage Reserve alone. In
1857 the Nation had about 2 mil
lion bales less cotton, 6 million
hundred-weight less rice, SO mill
lion pounds less tobacco, 225 mil
Lion bushels less corn, and ITS
million bushels less wheat. The
Soil Bank is also supplementing
farm income, and conserving soil
and water resources for future
needs.

Indian Educator
Entertains
Kiwanis Club

After opening the meeting and
welcoming guests, Ingvard Svarre,
Elmer Frank and Student XII
wanian Dean Williams, to the
last Thursday noon Kiwanis
luncheon, President Keith Krebs-
bach called on Membership Chm.
Clint Fulkerson to- introduce two
new members, Robert Bob" An
vik and DR.. William B. Danner.
Secretary Carey passed out COM
mittee membership lists and
schedules of other club meetings
throughout the state.
After a brief introduction by
Harry Mikelson, Kiwanians and
guests were treated to one OF
the most interesting and chal-
longing talks of recent months
by Mrs. Sarele Bamerjee, Prin-
cipal of a girls academy in her
native city of Bombay, India. The
vivacious speaker, graduate of
Bombay and London Universities,
charmed her listeners with fault
less English and a keen apprecia-
ton of conditions in this country
and in the world. Pointing out that
understanding of each others
problems is a basic need in the
development of cooperation be-
tween nations, she paid tribute to
the role of service clubs such as
Kiwanis in promoting world I'M
derstanding. She also touched on
farm conditions in her country,
contrasted Indian and u. S. edu-
cational systems and commented
that, in her opinion, Prime Min
lister Nehru represents India in the
view of most Indians, even tho
they might disagree on a few
points. Mrs. Bannerjee closed by
declaring her feeling that the
Prime Minister is not essentially
opposed to the United States and
that in any actual showdown,
India would be ranged on the side
of the democracies rather than
with the Communists.

Here Friday Saturday

the opening whistle until at 1:2O
of the second period when they
went ahead 1927. At the end of
the first quarter Sidney was out
in front 1878 but were behind
30-27 at halftime.
In the third the Eagles again
took control and at one point
had a seven point 1892 advan-
tage.
Sparkling the Eagles in this
drive were center John Marman
and forward Dick Helten. Dick,
who has seen little action this
year, thrilled the Sidney crowd
with three consecutive long shots
from a good rs feet out. In
close John did commendable
work replacing the injured Jen-
sen.
The Eagles kept their third
period lead alive until the last
five seconds At that point Cen
Der Larry Hanson dropped in a
lay-in to give his Coyotes their
45-44 advantage.
The fourth was a thriller for
the first five minutes. The only
bright spot for the locals in the
last quarter was the offensive
action by substitute guard Ron
Munoz. Ron made eight of Sid
ney's IA last quarter points and
it was his two long shots from
the corner that brought the Eagles
up to the 54-all tie with three
minutes left. From then on re-
peated bad passes and other vi
olations presented Williston with
easy scoring opportunities.
1t must be said that both
teams shot well but the winners
more especially. Taking so shots
the Coyotes made % for 47%. In
the last eight minutes they made
10 of 10 for $780,. Sidney for the
game scored % times in SIS at
tempts for a very respectable
400.
Marman led the Sidney scorers
with II followed by Helten with
Is. For the winners two guards
were the standouts. Ron ETdmann
was the games high point man
with % and his partner John
Lund had 10.
In the two preliminaries last
week the Sidney B and freshman
teams were a little more success
full. Akaink the WilliSton frosh
Coach Bob Anderson's team won
a close victory 50-48. The win
ners had a halftime lead of 1927
and 43-40 going into the last
period Williston led the first
quarter 17-I4. High for Sidney
were Ernie Olness with 16 and
Bob st. Cyr with IL. Hopgood of
Williston was high for the game
with II.
The B teams clashed in the
second game and Coach Don
Standings squad won easily 51-37.
Leading all the way the young
Eagles had quarter margins of
1876, 22-11 and 1928. Coach
Shading psed all IA of his players
as he does in every game.
High for the winners were
Richard Rein with is, Roger Ber-
ry ii and Kermit Petersen 10. Tri

Anyone who can help in any
way and is willing to go for these
instructions in Red Cross work,
be sure and come to this meeting.
