ONE CENT GAS
fContinued from paos II

fore we know the full cost of this
political manipulation which at
tempted to pressure opponents in
the house and senate and the
governor into accepting the un-
workable and experimental weight
distance tax.
AS all Montanas are wen aware,
road construction costs increase
each year and since we cannot for
see any immediate relief from
inflationary pressures, every mile
Of road that could have been built
with funds raised through the one
cent gas tax during the next two
years will cost us more than we
do build. five or six years from
now. These roads will have to be
build eventually because they are
needed to keep Montana industry
and agricultural prosperous, L.
Sedlacek, said.
1.-THE majority party's failure to
accept the gas tax will be costly to
the state in another way too" the
Republican chairman said. Cur
tailed construction because of lack
| of funds mean curtailed employ
ment opportunities in road work.
Many of our young people, high
school and college students part
icularly, are employed by con-
tractors during vacation months.
The money earned in many cases
goes toward the cost of their educ
atoms.
According to Highway division
figures our financial district,
which is No. 4, comprising Rich
land, Wihaux, Dawson and Nc
Cone counties. would have re-
ceived S258, 10000 in construction
funds for interstate, primary, sec
ondary and urban systems" the
chairman said.
"Montana's highway needs are
not partisan in nature and no one
regrets more than / do the in
lection of politics into it by weight
distance proponents in the dem
ocrat party. Their action in de-
feating a workable and sound
plan based on an increase in the
gas tax and the gross vehicle
weight schedules leaves no doubt
as to where responsibility for any
curtailment in state road con-
should rest. It lies at
TIE doorstep Of the democrat party
and any attempt to place the
blame elsewhere cannot be just
flied. / hope all of Richland coun-
tvs highway users, especially
those who were looking forward
to early construction of some of
Of our farm = to = market roads
remember why some of these
projects must be delayed until
more funds can be raised" L. Sed-
lacek concluded.

On and on they went in the
never ending daylight and little
by little the snow covered
mountains grew closer. Then
when it seemed they were al
most there Keotuk suddenly lay
down.
Come on" begged Oonik.
"We can't rest now. Well
freeze or starve if we don't get
there SOON"
But Ketotuk only whimpered
softly. Oonik kneeled down and
rubbed his hands through Keo-
tuk'S fur. What is it?" he
murmured gently.
Keotuk whimpered again and
held up one of his front paws.
Oonik gasped with dismay. The
paw was cut and torn by ice
splinters.
Oonik picked out the splin-
ters. "Oh, Keotuk, if only you
had shoes!" he moaned. Then
he had an idea. II will make
you some shoes!"
With his knife he cut four
strips of seal skin from his own
coat. He wrapped the pieces OF
skin around Keotuk's paws and
tied them with lacing from his
own hood.
There" he said. "Ice splin-
ters can't hurt you now"
Keotuk rose uncertainty to
his feet. At first he limped
but the soft skin shoes actually
made his bruised paw feel bet
ter and after a while he was
able to walk quite well.
On they trudged until at last
they came to the shore and
Oonik saw smoke curling up
from behind the hills.
Everything will be all right
now" cried Oonik starting to
run, "For that is surely smoke
from Santa's very own Chin
ney!"

Down, down, down Oonik
slid on the huge slab of ice
upended by the storm. Ahead
of him was the black churning
sea. Oonik threw himself back
and dug in his heels but he
could not stop sliding.
Just as he was about to zoom
into the water there was a ter
rible screech and the ice slab
suddenly reversed itself like a
see saw and Oonik began rock
citing back in the other direc-
ton.
With a whoosh he shot off
the far end and landed head
first in snow drift. There he
rolled himself up into a tight
little ball and lay trembling
with teeth chattering and hands
over his ears.
buI even tne Ice king seemed
to have had enough. The wind
died down and the ice nc
longer groaned and creaked.
Oonik crawled out of the
snowdrift. Blinking, he stared
at the world. 1t was peaceful
and quiet. Great piles of ice
blocks lay about like forgotten
toys. Where there had beer
open water there was now 8
solid ridge of ice.

perhaps, at the bottom of the

Oonik stared at the noun

There, nestled in those noun

told himself bravely. Come,
Keotuk, it isn't too far. We're

Trudging slowly, Oonik often
slipped and fell. Keotuk stayed
at his side and when they came
to an ice hill Keotuk caught

Suddenly he saw a snowdrift
rise up from the ice. The drift
heaved and shook itself ano
there was Keotuk stepping
sleepily out. Covered by the
drift he had been safe and
warm as the storm died out.
"Oh, Keotuk!" cried Oonik
embracing the dog. II knew
you would be all right! But

Alas. it was gone. Together

Opening lead: Five of dia-

West opened the five of dia-
monds, and East won with the
ace. East returned the six of
diamonds. and South hurriedly
put up the king. This was a
fatal error. West ruffed, and
East later defeated the con-
tract with the king of spades
and another diamond trick.
What horrible luck!" South
complained. Everybody agreed
with him, and then everybody
congratulated West on his
opening lead. This was all very
comforting, but luck had moth
ing to do with the case. South |
had tossed game and rubber |
out Of the window.
Revealing Card
Take a good look at East's
lead at the second trick-the
six Of diamonds, a very reveal
ing card. Now put yourself in
South's place and think about
the diamonds. What was the
nature of Vests opening lead
of the five of diamonds? Could
it be a fourth-best lead? The
only higher card missing are
the queen and seven. If West
had led the five from OTIS,
South's play at the second trick |
didn't matter.
The only other possibility is
that West had led a short suit. |
II he had led from the double
ton 5-4. South could make an
overtrick by finessing instead |
Of playing the king of dia-
monds. And If West had opened |
a singleton it was essential to
play low rather than let the
king be ruffed away. Aces and
kings furnish most of the
drama but the spot cards play
an important role too.
