To-day we are gathered here for

you either, because you know the
Galloping Swede better than that.
1--WE are here to officially dedl-
cate the steam-electric generating
plant of the Montana-Dakota Util-
tiles. 1t is a solid structure, cost
ing more than ten million dollars.
1t is proof of the faith which this
company has in the future of Mon
tana. One thing is for sure, any
one can talk about faith, but ten
million dollars worth is conclu-
sive proof that they believe in the
Treasure State.
1.-THE reason / say this dedication

KIWANIS MEMBERS
C CROWDED
SCHOOL CONDITION

A problem of general interest
to all Sidney residents, that of the
overcrowded condition of the city
schools, was brought to the at
tention of Kiwanis members at
their weekly meeting, Thursday,
October 16, at the Lalonde Hotel.
After ar introduction by Supt.
Harry Nicholson, School Board
Ohm. Bill Rounce covered in
detail the subject of overcrowd-
ing, both now and in the predict
able future and gave an outline of
possible solutions under consid-
Grafton by the Board. These in
clude a proposal for construction
of a Senior High School, to
house grades 10, IL, and IL, on
the edge of town, at a location yet
to be decided, but n which
would allow the ~centering of all
activities, including athletic field,
at a single area. Under this pro-
posal, the present High School
building would be used for grades
7, 8 and 9, while plans envision
the addition of another grade
school building, possibly in the
West end, within the next few
years. It was pointed out that the
financing necessary to accomplish
improvements as suggested by the
Board would almost necessitate
the passage of the school finance
amendment, known as the IS and
81, which will allow the use of
5 mills by Grade School districts
and also 5 mills by High School
Dictricts. All Kiwanians were
urged to help in passage of this
important legislation, as well as
to give personal study to the
problem of school construction.
Math Dasinger, Jr., reported
briefly on a project by the Fish
and Game Commission to plant
wild turkeys in this area and
asked all interested persons to
contribute $500 each, to defray
cost of the job. Apple Sale CO.
Chm. Homstad urged all members
to bear down., and finish the
sale job in the balance of this
month.
Guests present included Roger
Hearst, Sidney, Joe M. Taylor,
Augusta, H. L. Pearson and
Robert Naylor, Minneapolis, Art
Minnie, Helena, and Ron Munoz,
Student Kiwanian.

naming specifically Civil Rights
legislation, Alaskan statehood, and
the Billion Dollar College Schol-
arship loan fund. He stated that
the Agricultural program is one
of the big issues in the coming
election, and charged that the
farmer is in the worst economic
condition since the depression of
the Hoover administration. He
stated that many have been taken
into the agriculture department,
who know nothing of farming or
its problems, and charged the
Republicans with using the "Big
Lie" technique in their claims that
wheat allotments have been di-
verted to Southern states. He adj
ded that these states produce only
about 2h% Of our wheat, and that
their acreage is declining.
Turning to labor problems, An
derson charged that the Republic
cans were without a campaign
issue, and SO attacked labor, Wal
ter Reuther, and the Democrats.
He added that the Republicans
killed the Kennedy-Ives Bill, be-
cause they would rather have a
campaign issue than a labor law.
DR.. c. 0. Watkins introduced
Senator Mansfield, who spoke rap
idly and forcefully. Highlights of
his speech have been carried on
press wires and radio stations. The
Senator warmly endorsed Repre-
sentative Anderson, and said he
had been very active, being abb
sent from the House, only while
recovering from an accident, and
when on military duty with the
Reserve.
He pledged himself if reelected,
to introduce legislation to extend
the Sugar Act, before its expira-
ton, and aimed at maintaining
present acreages for domestic pro-
ducers, and if possible increasing
them. He also announced that he
would try to have the hearing on
the Great Northern Goose service
here, which is scheduled for Nov.
delayed for a week, or possibly
two, in order to give time for per-
sons interested to get the facts and
present them.
Two committees which met with
the delegation on these projects
earlier, included Dex Lilley, Har-
old Wind, Glenn Hall, Oscar An
dersop and Nels Bach for the
legislation and Mansel
Woods, Milton Anderson and Ell
mer Sorenson on the r. r. service.

completed the decorations. Din
mel music was by Milton Ander-
son and Harry McGraw. Alfred

and Mayor Harold Mercer well
coined the guests. Mrs. Margaret
Williams was chairman of ar
engagements and Mrs. Orvald Nor
gard had charge of decorations.
The Women of the Moose served
the dinner.
William Baue, as Master of
Ceremonies, introduced each can
didate, and asked for short talks.
Douglas Johnson told the group
that one of the biggest problems
facing the next legislature will be
money, since the state will be
from SIS million to possibly $40
million in the red. He expressed
a hope that no new taxes will be
levied, and stated his opposition to
a sales tax. Instead, he suggested
plugging loopholes in the Corpor-
alton license tax law, and c. R.
Thiessen, candidate for the state
senate, announced that if elected,
he will legislate for all and rep
resent all of the people, rather
than special groups.
Hugh Lemire, briefly endorsed
all candidates on national, state
and local levels. He credited Paul
Smith with saving "a million for
the people of Montana, during the
time he has served on the Rail-
road and Public Service Comm.

as attorney general, and his ex-
