The Sidney Juniors take on the
Bismarck, N. d. State Champions
here Saturday and the Billings,
Montana State Champions will
be here Monday and Tuesday
nights, July 7 and 8. All games
will be played at the Moose Me
mortal ball park and will start at

be a second meeting of the two
teams as Sidney lost a hard
fought 40 game in the Dakota
capitol city earlier this year. The
Billings crew are heavily favored
to again win the Montana crown.
They just completed a tour of
Washington and Oregon where
they compiled a very strong rec
ord.
The locals split games with
Dickinson and Glendive, both
class A clubs. They won 6-3 at
Sidney over Dickinson and lost
1912 at Glendive Sunday. Top
hitters in the Dickinson games
were Price, who had two for two
and Jerry Lassey who had a dou-
BILE. Winning pitcher of the game
was Boyd Erickson. In the Glen
dive game it was again Price, this
time with a triple and also Geo.

Sponsored by the Theodore

annual affair.
Construction of the theater,
termed Americas most beauti-

supervised by Hollis Dietz of
Beach, N. D., and James Barn
hardt of Medora. Work was done
by numerous volunteers including
boys from the Home on the

members of the cast.
General admission tickets sell
at S1.50 while reserved seat
prices are $500, $3.50, and $500.
Tickets obtained by purchase of

be presented at the box office.

or in the State as a whole chose
to exceed their 1858 allotments
the result would be a consider
able loss of history as compared
with the history which could have
been earned had they complied,
An important point to remember,
Kolstad continued, is that under
this law a small overseeing is
just as damaging to county and
State History as a large over
seeding.
Every wheat producer who
has 1858 wheat acreage in ex-
cess of his allotment is urged to
consider whether having excess
is worth the loss of wheat price

ton in history which will occur
in his county and State an
which will be reflected in future
allotments," Kolstad stated.

Transistor First
Demonstrated
Ten Years Ago

r. E. Packard, manager Of
Mountain States Telephone Com
pany here, recalled today that just
ten years ago Uune 80, 1948), the
transistor first was demonstrated
by the Bell Laboratories. An un-
usual device about the size of the
eraser on a lead pencil, it heralded
what has come to be called the
new electronic age". 1t has been
said that the ~transistor spanned
in 10 years the development
achieved by the vacuum tube in
40 years. 1t car do most everything
a tube can do, cheaper and better.
The transistor amplifies, oscil-
lates, has no grid, gives off no
heat, operates as soon as it is turn
ed on Tequires no warm up per-
iod like a vacuum tube), has an
indefinite life - perhaps as long
as a century, and uses only minute
bits of electricity.
One of the dramatic uses of
transistors has been in Americas
space satellites. Transistors in the
Explorer" and the Vanguard"
satellite transmitters relayed to
earth the data sought by scientists.
Commercially, transistors have
found their way into a wide vari-
ETY. of equipment: hearing aids, ra-
dos, fuel injection systems, por-
table TV sets, monographs, clocks,
toys and many others.
Commercially, militarily, scien-
tifically and for Mountain States
Telephone, the transistor is full
filling the promise made by Bell
Labs 10 years ago - that it would
have "far-reaching significance in
the field of electronics," Packard
concluded.
