Report Conference

The conference to study the re-
Communications of the Peabody
Commission held in Sidney on
Saturday, February 7, attracted
approximately fifty teachers and
lay citizens, in spite of snow con-
ditions that blocked most county
roads.
Fred Mielke, member of the
Sidney school board, and Volney
Anderson. presented the recon-
mendations Of the commission as
they related to the reorganiza-
ton of school districts. Provided
safeguards could be written into
proposed legislation to prevent a
loss of bonding capacity, and to
protect the voice of minority rural
interests which would become in
volved in any program that in
cluded consolidation of school dis
tricts, most members favored the
recommendations to the extent
that each school district should be
of sufficient size TO justify a de-
fensible program OF education,
grades one through twelve. II wa
felt this consolidation, II made,
should be on an area basis rather
than present boundaries of either
counties or school districts.
Harry Mikelson, Sidney School
superintendent, led the discussion
covering the school foundation
program. While the Peabody re-
concentrations were considered -
have considerable merit, it was
felt that efforts at correcting in
equities existing in the present
program should not
be withheld pending an adoption

: In regards to the tourney al
Billings March lila reserved
seat tickets for Sidney fans will
go on sale at the high school
Monday, February Is. Tickets for
all 16 games are $3.50 each.
Last week Glendive pulled the
upset of the year by dumping
previously ~undefeated Great Falls
Central 1860. For Dawson it was
only their third victory of the
year but what an important one.
The Mustangs G1-1) however
continue to hold down first place
out now lesd by only a half
game over the local Eagles who
are 11-2. A win for Sidney over
the leaders this Friday night
would move Coach Kangas' five
into the top spot.
Havre remains in third with a
9-3 record. Glasgow (8-5) NOV
ed into fourth last week and
Custer (7-4) dropped to fifth.
Billings Central (5-8) is in sixth
followed by Glendive (3-8), Lew
is.own (3-8), Hardin (3-10), and
Laurel OLD.
The top three teams in the
league will face each other on
the Sidney court this week end.
Great Falls will be here Friday
and Havre on Saturday. A
double win for the Eagles would
put them in excellent shape to
repeat as conference champions,
a title they have held for the
past two seasons.
Great Falls Central however
has other ideas. They already
hold a win over Sidney and that
one a $3.50 decision just a
month ago. In that game the
Eagles trailed by ten points or
more the whole second halt.
Coach Swede Bushly's boys are
tall and talented and should be
particularly tough especially at
ter their loss to Glendive last
week.
The average height Of their
starting five isn't especially i'm
pressive but their front line is.
Over all they will average just

winner has not been defeated by
the second place team in tourna-
ment play they then have the
right to challenge for a place in
the divisional. Tournament man
ager Donald Kingery stated caller
this week that interest already
shown through the advance sale Of
tickets indicates a very successful
tourney. Many fans due to the fine
showing of their teams during
season play are expected in the
Richland County city for the en-
tire three day affair.
Those interested in finding hous-
ing for these days are urged to
contact the Sidney Chamber of
Commerce. In case of inclement
weather this community is pre-
pared to house fans as they have
in the past.

director of the Montana High

Charles A. Wells, Journalist,
Opens Music-Lecture Series Oct. 1

The noted journalist, editor
and illustrator, Charles A. Wells.
will appear at Ramseyer chapel,
Bluffton college, Thursday eve
ming, October 1, as the first guest
on the Bluffton College Music
Lecture series for this season.
Mr.. Wells has ranged far and
wide as a feature writer and il
illustrator. He spent several weeks
this summer in Russia and also
visited Poland and Czec.loslo-
vakia.
Although America has by far
the greatest news coverage in the
world, our press and radio must,
by necessity, concentrate on high
speed dispatches that record
events as they happen" Mr..
Wells explains. 1.-The great spiri-
tual truths of our day, which mo-
tivate men and create the news
of the future, seldom command
headlines.
For instance, the most inn
portant development in Russia
at this time is the discomfort
among many students in Soviet
universities and higher technical
institutes over the narrow intel
lectual confines of Marxism. This
discomfort has generated a grow
ing resistance movement and has
even erupted in riotous rebellion
on notable occasions. Yet it is
this youth that the Kremlin must
soon depend upon to run their
industries, farms and civil life, "
he points out.

Public School
Emergence in
South Seen
Rx the Associated pr.sa

The public school will emerge
as the dominant educational
influence in the South despite
school closings to prevent inte-
grafton. Secretary Of Welfare
Flemming says.
But Mr.. Flemming told a
New York State television au-
dience yesterday the South will
emphasize private schools more
than in the past.
He was asked about South
ern school closings by Senator
Heating, Republican of New
York. in a telecast prepared for
New York Stations.
Senator Heating asked Mr..
Flemming If he foresaw a grad
ual collapse Of the public edu-
cation system in some South
ern States because Of school
Blessings.
"I'm not that pesSimistic. I"
Mr.. Flemming answered. Il
realize that in some Of the
States they're going to have
more emphasis on private
schools than has been the case
in the past.
"But believe that the pub
lie school system is so basically
sound that in the long run, it's
going to emerge once again,
even in the States that you're
talking about, and that it will
be on a very sound footing in
those States"
Mr.. Flemming also said COL
leges should be sympathetic
without lowering their stand
ards toward the incoming stu
dent who missed portions Of
his secondary education be-
cause of school closings.
II think that they (colleges)
should work out arrangements
that will make it possible fol
the student that does have q
lot Of initiative to make up fol
this lost time" Mr.. Flemming
added.
