Col. Criger
Talks On
Army Missile

Feature of the weekly lunch
con meeting of Kiwanis, held
Thursday noon, July 81 in the
Ballroom of the LaLonde Hotel
was an arresting talk by 1t. Col
Ralph Criger, Sidnay, on the
subject, "The Army Missile Pro-
gram" Criger, who is CO, 1880
fla. Bn., described wildly his
experiences as one of the few
Montana Reserve Officers to at
tend tests of atomic devices al
Camp Desert Rock, Nevada, in
1857. In addition to a graphic
description of the atomic explo-
sion, the speaker touched on
items of interest from his tour
of duty in June, 1858, at the
Guided Missile School, Fort Bliss,
Texas, at which he was the only
Montana representative. Most of
the data at this school was and
still is top secret, and no notes
were permitted, according to Cri-
ger.
Attending as guests were Dave
Holland, Billings, with Math Da-
singer, Jr., and Leo Smith, Mis-
soula, with Elmer Sorenson.
Membership Chairman Dasin-
ger introduced a new member,
Leo N. Schwartz, Manager of The
Sidney Herald, who was well
coined to the club.

Big Noise Coming

Montana Dakota Utilities
Co. engineers today advised
that startup procedures at the
new Sidney Station had ad-
vanced to the point where.
within the next few days. the
main steam lines would be
blown OUT and the safety
valves set on the huge boiler.
In these procedures. large guam
titles of high pressure steam will
be released Internationally over a
period of several hours. The con-
trolled release of high pressure
steam will. according TO MDU Co.
engineers. probably result in a
loud roar. audible for several
miles. The sound will be some
what similar 10 the sound of Jet
aircraft.
Engineers supervising the work
do not believe the noise will be
Objectionable Or disturbing, pro-
viding the source is known. They
also emphasize the fact that the
sounds of blowing the main steam
lines are incidental only to the
startup and will not be charac-
teristic of the station in normal
operation.
Plans call for the work to be
conducted and limited to daytime
hours, since the noise could be
loud enough to disturb the sleep
of nearby residents.
Although precautions have been
taken to reduce the noise to low
est possible levels, engineers point
out that the high rate of energy
release necessary cannot be COM
pletely muffled and still provide
satisfactory results.
Blowing out of steam lines will
be followed by trial operation of
the main turbo generator but an
exact date for this procedure is
not vet set.

Registration for
H. S. Pupils
Begins Aug. II

Students in record numbers are
expected to register beginning
Monday, Aug. II for the 1853
1859 school year. A great deal of
work has been done in arranging
the schedule which includes a
wide variety of courses, accord
ing to H. F. Mikelson, Superin-
tendent of Schools, who also
states that the faculty and staff
are complete.
Students will be registered by
Donald B. Kingery, principal, who
has a large amount of informa-
tion at hand concerning each stu
dent. This information includes
past records of achievement; tesi
scores which indicate his learn
ing and reasoning ability; test
records which show his educa-
tional level of achievement; rec
ords of his past work habits;
family history; his interest scores
and other valuable information
which is used with the student
to help him select courses that
are best suited to his abilities and
his plans. Final selection is left
to the student.
The information used to aid
in registration is compiled and
summarized by Mrs. Jimpsie Mil
Ter, Dean of Girls, and guidance
counsellor, who uses it as a base
for guidance and counsellng
throughout the year.
Student accident insurance will
be available to each student this
year. The cost is $500 per stu
dent for coverage up to 100000

Dear Sir:

Dear Sir:
l was interested in reading S
H. Braaten's letter to the Editor
calling attention to the lack of g
summer band in Sidney. Our
town is easily large enough;
prosperous enough, and music
minded enough to support one OF
the finest MUNICIPAL BANDS
obtainable for a town our size,
Writer Braaten infers that "our
local band" presumably Sidney
High School Band, since there is
no other band in Sidney is not
giving the taxpayers their mon
ey's worth. A check with the rec
reational director will disclose
that the modest sum of the tax
payers money allotted for the
music program is presently being
used for the teaching Of band
instruments rather than promo
ton of a summer band.
From the taxpayers stand
point, it would be just as logi-
cal to have one Of the algebra
or tipping classes make occasional
appearances on the bank corner
during the summer school re-
cess as to expect the Sidney
High School Band to SO appear.
After all, band is a course of
study offered at the Sidney High
School for which school credit
is given toward a high school di-
ploma, the same as other courses
of study. Can you think of any
other department in the Sidney
High School that gives the tax
payer as much FREE entertain
ment and personal pleasure af-
ter classroom hours than the
High School Band? l cannot.
Yours truly,
Milton G.. Anderson
To the Editor:
At the risk of losing my neck at
the guillotine of the literary per-
fectionists for improper selection
and usage of words (as inferred
in the meticulously : fabricated
letter hast week. l would like to
comment on one phase of the cur-
rent controversy.
Based on common sense and/or
personal experience, I'd say Mr..
B~raaten's reference to SEEING a
band was more logical and cor
rect than he received credit for.
1t doesn't take a Dykema, Shake
speare, Socrates, McGillicuddy Oh
John Doe to prove or disprove the
contention that it is just as inspir-
ing to SEE a group Of smartly-
stepping band members as it is to
HEAR them play.
Whether they wear blue jeans
and white shirts or costly, be-
spangled tailored uniforms, any
band members, on parade or other
wise engaged, are just as proud
of their appearance as they are of
their ability to dispense instru-
mental harmony. Hence the word
SEE seems as applicable as the
word HEAR.
If it is an error, Miss, Mrs, Mr.,
or DR.. Dykema let alb to refer to
SEEING a band, why bother with
expensive instruments or attrac-
tive uniforms, or time spent in
practicing precision cadence or
perfect musical rendition? A good
sound truck and a couple of j. P.
Sousa's records would be cheaper
and would satisfactorily compli-
ment any occasion as well as any
appreciative ear.
Before any readers shove the
above paragraphs through their
p~hraseologic pulverizers, con-
slider that /, also, am referring
to a band on parade. as quite OBJ
viously was the subject Mr.. Braa-
ten had in mindD

HOMAGE TO COLOMBIA

The Colombian people celebrate today a new anniver-
Sary of their glorious independence, an anniversary that in
this time of the history of that country has special signifi-
canoe, since the Fatherland of Francisco de Paula Santander
is just emerging from a political crisis of vast proportions,
and is returning to democratic normally.
An anniversary of independence is married by sadness
when the people are not enjoying freedom, and for that
reason COlOmbianS on this July 20 celebrate not only the
glorious date, but also the victory of republican ideals,
temporarily darkened during the years of dictatorship.
Great pride must be felt by ColOmbians today, because
they have achieved once more the level of political recupera-
ton, and even more pride they will feel in the future, If
nothing Obstructs the functiOning of the patriotic pactS be,
tween the two historic parties in favor of the democratic
reorganization of the Republic. Precisely, the Congress
of the Republic, elected in a decOrOuS manner, and formed,
therefore, by true representatives OF the people, will meet
in BOgOta today. This is the first Congress in the country
after the long crisis suffered by the Nation, which is not
an adhOc Congress, subSerVient to the Executive Power.
With regard to the sincerity and ability of the citizen
who will soon assume the Presidency of Colombia, by the
will of his fellow citizens, expressed in free elections, 1t
is, to be sure, a moral victory, since in the person of Al
bertO Lleras CamargO not only his country but the Ameri
cas- have an outstanding figure, as a gentleman, statesman
and politician who has strong popular support. 1t is to be
hoped that everybody will cooperate with that illuStriOuS
statesman in the task of reeStablishing in that South Amer.
lean country the former glOries of political freedom, admi-
niStrative honesty and talent among her great leaders.
THE AMERICAS DAILY, in commenting briefly on
the Colombian National Holiday, expresses sincere wishes
for the general wellbeing of Colombia "a land of thinkers,
poets and heroes and cordially congratulates all Co.
lOmbianS residing in the United States, in particular His
Excelency Jose Gutierrez Gomez, Ambassador to the White
House, and DIR. Octavio Villegas, Consul General in Miami.
