Hoop Skill Brings
 Seventh Graders
 Overtime Victory
MIGHTY MITES WIN!!!


 Basketball fans were treated to a real display of hoop skill last night when, in the preliminary game, the Mighty Mites of the Seventh Grade, coached by Frank Denney, came from behind and roared on to a narrow overtime win over Coach Chamcy Sten- backs Giant Wolverines of the Eighth Grade.
 The Mites, who showed real hustle in their never-say-die ef- fort, were paced by a brilliant floor game of Billy Bixby, and the scoring of Cliff Bell and Mike Simon. Bixby and Bell, two real midgets, gave a vivid deanonstra- tion of how basketball can be played by little men.
 The fracas started out as f it were going to be complete route as the Wolverines, led by Rocky" Locke and Shotgun" Cannon, blistered the hoop and raced ahead by a wide margin. In the second quarter after Coach Sten- back had put in his reserves, the Mighty Mites began to catch fire, and by halftime had sneaked to within points of the leaders.
 The second half proved to be a heart-rending affair for the fans backing the Wolverines. Coach Stenback's boys just did not seem to be able to get going again, even though they completely dominated the backboards. In the other camp, the Mighty Mites were not to be denied, and they managed to stay even with the Wolveries even though they were badly out manned. When the final buzzer sounded the impossible had hap pened, the Mites had tied the score. By this time, the Wolver- ines were completely demoralized and proved to be very inept in the overtime period. The Mites ace in the hole, Stan Andersen, coolly sank charity toss to ice the game for the Seventh Graders.

Khrushchev Threatens Separate Pact With Unrecognized E. Germany
 p.x CAPI HARTMANN
By CARL HARTMAN

LEIPZIG, East Germany, R - Soviet Premier Khrushchev said today the Soviet Union will sign separate peace treaty with East Germany if the West fails to come to terms on an alderman settle ment.
 Khrushchev accused the West of refusing his proposals on Ger many without proposing any all ternatives ''that normal human intelligence can agree to-
 The Western Allies have refused to recognize Premier Otto Grote- wohl's Red East German regime, which never has faced free cleo ton. as legal government. The West insisted they would not deal with it on Berlin controls that the Russians propose to give up this spring.
 The Soviet leader insisted in a 2O-minute speech that his govern ment wants only peace - and needs peace to carry out it's seven year economic expansion program. Speaking before big crowd in a rain, he insisted all the Soviet Union wants is peace. However much these people rage" he said of Western leaders, nothing will come of it.' A crowd which the East German Communist radio estimated at items of thousands heard the brief speech without marked en- thusiasm They did cheer and ap- plaud, though, when he spoke of peace.

MERCHANTS EDGE OUT NATIONAL GUARD

In the main event of the even ing, the ailing Nome Merchants managed to hold off the towering defenders of the North and score a thrilling "squeaky'' victory. Little Sammy Mogg proved to be the hero of the day, with his last minute, over-the-head backwards, with two hands, pass to Bob liar wood. Harwood was fouled while shooting, and sank the first free throw to literally eliminate any chance of the defenders winning.
 It was rugged battle, marred by many fouls, with near mayhem and smashing contact under the boards. The lead changed many times, and the tempo was always full blast. Referees Bob E;nnons and Gary Longley did well to keep open warfare from breaking out.
 After an extremely tight first quarter, the shopkeepers built up an point lead, which proved too large for the hustling defenders to overcome.
 In the scoring column, the Mer- chants were paced by George Bell with Is, and the defenders by rugged Bill Caldwell, who stuffed 13 points through the hoop.

Military Plans
 S87 Million Alaska Base Construction

SEATTLE, R - About 87,00O,- 900 will be spent in Alaska for military construction in the ifs cal year starting July 1, Col. w. c. Gribble Jr., said here yester- day.
 This is $14,0OO,0O0 more than the estimated $73,0OO,O00 being spent in the year ending June 30.
 Col. Gribble, Alaska District Engineer, also said contracts for $60,00O,000 will be let in the next few months for work at the na- tion's first missile-detection base at Clear.
 Gribble gave his estimate of Alaska military construction spending at a Seattle Chamber of Commerce meeting. Figures on the base at Clear, 70 miles south west of Fairbanks, came out of a conference with Seattle-area con- tractors.
 Four bid openings on various phases of the Clear project are scheduled here this month. The first will be tomorrow, followed by openings on March Is, "A and 26. Contracts will be awarded by Gribble at Anchorage after bids are reviewed.
 Two more bid openings are set for April, with dates still unde- termined.
 Construction at Clear will ex- tend through 1860, and also in- volve highway and airfield work.

in Lonsdale Methodist Church for
Phillip Umback, 81, retired farmer.
The Rev. George Sanders, pastor,
officiated, and the Cloyd-G order
Mortuary had charge. Mr.. Umback
died at the Home for the Aged,
June 5.
He was born Nov. 25, 1871, in
Viole, Wis, a son of Mr.. and Mrs.
John Umback, and grew up there.
His marriage to Susan Angelina
Spityer, took place there on Feb.
II, 1892.
After living for a time in Mimi
esota. they came to Enid Com
munity in Richland County, in
1924, where they farmed until his
retirement. Mrs. Umback died In

a young persons life; children
often adopt their parents attitudes
and beliefs. Thus, it is important
that each parent understand and
guide his child so favorable habit
patterns will be established.
With each successful launching
the question of Soviet military
supremacy grew larger in our
minds. Do they have the power
needed to win an atomic war; Arc
we too far behind in the Space
Race to catch up? Today, we are
finding the answers to these ques-
tons. We know that we can now
hold our own in an atomic attack.
Our space program is being ac-
clerated. 1t will take a long time
to pull ourselves out of our lax
habits, but we are doing if. The
first real step in solving any
problem is to realize the need for
a change.
But we must not view the future
with pessimisml Let us survey the
wonders and luxuries provided
by science. Once fatal diseases are
being conquered; new hope has
been given to chronic sufferers,
and those born with certain de-
fects no longer have to go through
life disfigured or helpless. The
housewife takes her shining
for granted now, but
many can remember when there
none to be had. All they had
was "elbnw grease"
Yes, this Space Age is a real
challenge to America. But we can
meet that challenge as Ameri-
cans have met challenges in the
past. With our able leaders, our
in God, in our binding
spirit of patriotism, we can look
.owards the future with confidence
and know that our children will
not be denied that which we held
so precious.

Are You Losing $4,000 This Way?
If a burglar robbed you of $4,000, you'd probably raise the
roof" But that's the amount lost each year on a typical 240-acre
diversified farm.
Y. s. farmers lose about $2 billion of their potential income
to farm pests and poor harvesting and storage practices, accord
living and more profitable farming, yearly.
All these losses can't be prevented-at least, not at a price you
could afford to pay. But with a minimum of effort YOU should be
able to cut these losses by rs percent-and earn an additional
$1,000 in 1855.
About Is percent of the total potential income from com is

treated resistant hybrid seed is the best protection against these
diseases.

bugs and other insects can be controlled by spraying and dust
Ing. Weeds steal water and food from the corn, and one ragweed
plan. will use three times as much water as a stalk of corn.
Use Z,4-D as a pre-emergence spray and follow it with just
enough cultivation to check the weeds.
Poor picker adjustment and late harvest also cut the WELD.
After the corn is in storage, ventilate it properly to prevent mold,
and make sure rodents can't get to it.
disease and poor harvesting produce biggest losses in wheat,
put this can be partially controlled by variety selection and
harvesting on time.
The annual loss in soybeans is about 500 m:y;ca and much
OF this comes from SCATTERING at harvest time. ThiJ can be cor
rected by watching the moisture content of the beans and har-
veshng when it's at the proper level. zitn your .J-as..e adjusted

Losses in cattle average about Is percent, most of it due to
of baby pigs, and this can be reduced with narrowing stalls, heat
lamps, and better starting rations.
Chickens have lots OF enemies, and mites alone os.en cut pro-

Your County Sanitation
Problems

The most important of the
water-borne disease are those of
the intestinal tract which include
typhoid fever, the paratyphoids,
dysentery, and cholera. Various
parasitic worms may also be dis
seminated by water. All are due
to organisms from the intestinal
discharges of patients or carriers
which obtain entrance into drink
ing water. Public health literature
abounds in records of water-borne
typhoid epidemics, the infection
entering surface supplies, deep
and shallow well supplies, and
springs. AS might be expected,
the application of sanitary science
to the safeguarding of supplies
and the publication of water have
The Sidney herald., 1959-06-17

been important factors in the
notable falling off of the incidence
and death rate of the intestinal
diseases, particularly typhoid
fever.
Sickness may also be caused
by water which has been highly
polluted with decaying organic
matter, such as dead animals,
even in the absence of specific
disease germs. Digestive distur-
Dances and diarrhea may result
from such causes.
In my opinion these latter dis
turbances are still very common
today, and will be as long as we
neglect the proper construction of
cur wells and water supplies.
Fluoridation of water supplies
gives protection against dental
cavities or tooth decay. Too much
fluoride, however, will cause an
incurable injury to the teeth
known as 'mottled teeth"
Waters high in nitrates will
cause "blue babies. The con-
dition may cause death in infants
a few weeks old but clears up
when the baby is given nitrate
free water. These nitrates are
usually found in private water
supplies, such as farm supplies.
Water may be analysed for chem
ical content by submitting a quart
sample to the State Board of
Health laboratory in Helena. A
$500 fee is made and should be
sent in to the above.
Our suggestion to all drinking
from their own water supplies,
that they call for the advice of
heir s%anitarian, to help them
determine what constitutes a safe
and then, follow his recon-
nendations. Sampling of water

JUDY ANDERSON WINS
". F. w. ESSAY CONTEST

Miss Judy Anderson, daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. O.. l.. Anderson OF
Sidney was awarded SIS for her
entry in the annual essay contest
sponsored by the v. F. w. Auxil-
larry. The subject for this years
essay, which is sent out from Ma
tional Headquarters, was "The
Space Age-Challenge to America"
The contest is open to ali high
| school students but Miss Anderson
was the only one to enter it this
year. Miss Anderson's essay fol-
lows:
The Space Age
Challenge TO America"
Ever since man was created, he
has had to prove that he has a
right to exist in nature. Often
the elements work against him;
thus, the theory of survival of the
fittest has come to the fore. Every
generation born in America has
had a "test" or a challenge to
face in order to prove its right of
existence. Each succeeding year
brings newer and more complicat-
ed problems for us to face and
solve. Someday, when these pro-
blems are history they will be
studied by people who will out
line the course that should have
been taken to solve them. Today,
we students study governmental
difficulties and weaknesses, and
learn not only the missteps, but
the proper course of action. The
reason: Profit by the mistakes of
others and by experienced
OF course the problems OF to-
days highly mechanical and hos
tile world cannot be reckoneo
with in the same manner as the
difficulties of the 1800's, but the
nucleus of any action remains
constant. Face the problem square
ly, with a quickening pulse and the
desire to do ones best!
Although the Space Age brings
with it many advantages, 1t also
presents our nation and the free
world with a huge task. 1t has
been almost a year and d half
since Sputnik | zoomed into orbit
around the earth, startling we
Americans out of our complac-
ency. To us, Sputnik was not only
a great scientific achievement, but
rude awakening to the weak
neses of u democracy. Truly,
this Space Age is a challenge. 1t
is our chance to prove our right
to exist as a free nation, our
chance to insure peace, prosperity,
and safety to our children.
BY far the greatest challenge in
this specialized age is the improve
ment of our education system.
Speedy scientific advancement
will follow as a natural result CT
improved schools. Although there
are many good high schools in our
nation today, thousands of stu
dents are receiving a mediocre
education in poorly equipped,
understaffed classrooms. If we are
to maintain our status as a world
power, we must educate Jul chill
dren and future leaders through
ly to insure able and honest guild
ance for this country in the flu
ture. The power unleashed by the
atom must be handled carefully
and with discretion. Governments
and elections in the hands of an
uniformed people can be a danger
Gus weapon. 1t falls on the school
not only to teach a student facts
and figures, but to prepare him for
life in an uneasy age where it is
he duty of every man to contri-
oute to his country's well-be;nc.
But this responsibility does not
est solely upon the schools. Par
.nts will have to wake up to the
act that home environment shapes
