Ten Words Of Advice
By CHARLES MERCER

is known just about everywhere has 10 words
of advice to the innumerable youngsters who
want singing career like her own:
stay at home and work. Don't come to
New York"
But that advice should not discourage them,
for Miss Page adds:
Il think young singer with talent has a
better chance than ever before to hit the big
time quickly-thanks to teeviSion and the re-
cording industry which are hungry for talent
Miss Page who began her own singing
career on a Tulsa, Okla. radio station, says the
same opportunities await everyone with talent
But doesn't luck play part?
oh no." she replies Not more than SO
per cent"
This season she has taken on the strenuous
assignment of a weekly hour Nv program with
The Big Record (CBS-TV, Wednesdays PM
which features the wel-known names of the
record industry in person doing the hits which
have made them national favorites.
Practically the only popular recording singer
who has not appeared on The Big Record since
it came on the air last September is Elvis Presley
Does she object to his appearing her pro-
gram?
Not at ALL" she says. Il wish could get
him. But his price is too high We simply can't
afford 100000 for single appearance"
II FreSIy lowered MS price LOT me big
Record would The Big Record raise its
cameras and cut his well-known gyrations at the
neck?
Il would hope not" says Miss Page. i think
that's a highly suggestive trick 1t makes a
viewer imagine that what is happening is much
worse than it really is"
Miss Page does not note much decline in
the youthful enthusiasm for rock n roll, al
though there is increasing interest in ballads.
Her theory as to why they are interesting:
Many of the rock n roll enthusiasts who
were Is and IA when it began to be popular
Is and It, That is, they're old enough to be
in love And being in love, they've discovered the
sentiment in ballads

VIM. Martin "a,
Victim of Ranch
House Fire

The body of VIM. Martin, "a, was
found Wednesday morning on his
ranch north of Sioux Pass in the
ruins of his log home, which had
been completely destroyed by fire.
Mr.. Martin was a rancher and
lived alone in this old log house,
part of the roof of which was
sod. When discovered by a neigh
Dor Wednesday evening the build
ing appeared to be all aflame and
he, Norman (Shorty) Atwood,
fastened to another neighbor to
phone for help. Ray Trudell call
ed the sheriff's office and Chill
ders, Collins and Gorder, Fire
Chief Bonnie Dave and George
Knaff responded to the call and
left at $50 for the Martin ranch.
The kitchen, built of all logs,
was nearly gone when they ar
rived there but the sod roof had
smothered the flames in the rest
of the house, and that part was
smoldering.
There was no way of getting in
to investigate, but with the idea
that the elderly occupant had
been able to get out and was
roaming around some place, the
men spent most of the night look
ing for him. In the morning,
when the interior could be in
vestigated, the body was found
in the ruins.

Richland Homes
Fund Total
Now 100000

The united fund drive fol-
Richland Homes reached a total
of 100000, Wednesday as the re-
turns were reported from the
general drive now under way.
According to drive leaders, the
amount is encouraging consider
ing the number of cards worked
However, they are concerned
about contacts to be made to adj
ditional prospects. Approximate
ly $50 prospects have been seen,
leaving at least a thousand to be
contacted. A number of cards are
in the hands of workers and
about 500 r in the office for
workers assignments.
Anyone who is willing to make
even a few contacts is urged to
report to the Richland Homes
office and to select the. prospects
they might prefer. After this Fri
day, the 18th, the Richland Homes
office will be located in the
Chamber of Commerce building
next to Reynolds grocery. Work
ers are reminded to report at the
office unless attending special re-
port meetings.
The best coverage on contact
ing prospects has been made
largely in rural areas. They in
clude Sidney north, Sidney south,
Hay Draw, North Dakota; yell
lowstone Township, North Da-
kota; Fairview southwest; Nohly-
Fairview; Cartwright; Lambert
Eni61 West Richland County;
Froid; Medicine Lake; Crane and
Savage.
Areas where limited contacts
have been made or where limit
ed funds have been reported in
clude the three City of Sidney
teams, Fairview City, Eastside,
Brorson-Girard; Richey, East Mo-
na-Andes, South Culbertson-
Sioux Pass, Bainville, Alexander
and Reserve. The Advance Drive
which largely includes Sidney
business firms and institutions
has made fair progress. Slightly
over half Of these prospects have
contributed over $4,000. Howev-
er, very little has been received
from non-advance prospects and
the reason is due to lack of
workers.
Chairman Nels Bach and CO.
Chairman Harry Johnson, have
indicated that regular report
meetings are planned each week.
The dates will be announced thru
press, radio and TV. Workers are
urged to attend these important
report meetings so that special
drive instructions can be pre-
sented, plus making a check on
any missed prospects within each
area.

Afternoon Educational Meeting

Discussions on various feed adj
ditlves, implants, and pelleting
feeds were featured on the first

talk was of real interest to every
one present. He also told of the
lamb feeding trials and proceed
ures at his company's Hill Top
farm at Waterloo, Ia, and the
many experiments they have con-
Quoted over the years.
Nearly all of the panel partici-
pants on why Year Around
Feeding, agreed that year around
feeding has a definite advantage
and should be considered by more
of our valley feeders who are so
situated to engage in this type of
operation N. A. Jacobsen, Exten-
sion Livestock Specialist, was
moderator of the panel, and panel
members included local feeders,
Herb Kfncad, Arnold Dige; Ing

Bank; r. E. Davis, Rath Packing

was built under the supervision
of Eric Wilson, Extension Agri-
cultural Engineering Specialist.
Features of this model were ex-
planned by Dean Davidson, Rich
land County Extension Agent, and
N. A. Jacobsen, Extension Live
stock Specialist. AS a tie-in with
year around feeding, it was
brought out that a feedlot should
be constructed to employ labor
saving equipment Plans for this
model feedlot shown can be OBJ

Chain Letter
Savings Bond
Scheme Exposed

A chain letter scheme is in Op-
Grafton in eastern Montana. The
scheme involves the purchase
of $25 u. S. Savings Bonds. The
letters are being passed from
hand to hand. They are sold for
$3.50 each and the seller gives
the purchaser a $25 bond, made
out to number one of ten or
eleven names listed in the latter,
which is his proof of participa-
ton in the scheme. The bond is
then mailed to the person to
whom it is made out.
The purchaser then makes two
copies of the letter, deleting the
first name, moving all the other
names up one position on the list,
and inserting his own name on
the bottom to replace the one
removed. The purchaser then
sells his two letters for $3.50
each, also showing a bond in each
instance, made out to the top
person on the list. In this manner
each person RECEIVERS his invest
ment after selling two letters.
The United States courts have
ruled that chain letters are both
frauds and lotteries, and wheth-
er a chain is broken is a matter
of chance which makes it a lot
terry, and also the degree of re-
turn, if any, is a matter of chance.
The scheme is a fraud, because
the same representations are
made to all the participants that
they will receive substantial re-
turns. However, the chain of in
terested persons soon vanishes,
and there is no way in which
the new participant can deter
mine whether he is on the first
round or the last round of the
chain letter, and therefore has
no means of knowing if the sup
ply Of interested persons in the
vicinity is exhausted.
1t is also quite obvious that,
in order for any person to re-
ceive the large amount of money
indicated in the letters, some per-
son or persons must have put
out of their own pockets an
amount equal to that received
by any person higher on the list.
The use of the mails in the
above outlined scheme is in vio-
lation of the Postal Lottery and
Fraud Laws, 10 United States
Code 1902, 1341 and participants
in. such schemes by mail may be
subject to criminal prosecution.
1t makes no difference whether
the lists of participants are cir
culated through the mails or
passed from hand to hand, as
long as the money, bonds, or
receipts are mailed, the scheme
Is illegal under postal laws.
Any complaints or information
relative to the above type scheme
should be reported to your post
master.
