Ambulance
Drive Gains


The need for an ambulance
service in Richland County
remains very vital. The task
of raising the money to pur-
chase an ambulance was UNI
dertaken by the Sidney Jay
Gees, and has been quite sue
cessful through contributions
and pledges made by many
individuals and organizations
Of Sidney and surrounding
areas.
A goal of $500, which is need
ed to purchase the proper type of
unit to fulfill the requirements of
Richland County, has not been
reached. Therefore a direct mail
ing will be made to everyone in
Richland County. The purpose of
the letter is to ask for individual
contributions from anyone feel
ing they might want to help this
worthy cause.
Anyone wishing to contribute
may do so by mailing, or giving.
their donation to the Sidney jay
Gees, box ass; the Sidney National
Bank, the Richland National Bank
or the Fairview Bank.
Funeral directors Homer Cor.
der and Clint Fulkerson have do
mated all their equipment to bt
used on the new unit. This equip.
ment includes stretchers, linens
lights, first aid equipment anC
sirens.
After the ambulance unit i
purchased it will be turned owe,
to Richland County and will b
operated on a 24-hour basis on
of the Sheriff's office. It is hopeC
that the ambulance unit will be il
operation by September LIST.

a running commentary OF the
happiness that she deemed was
so prevelant among the Chinese
people.
After showing the slides she
answered questions directed to her
from the Sidney group, and a sim
liar group that attended from
Circle.
When asked about the absence
of churches in her pictures, she
answered that of the go million
people, there are now only 3 mil
lion Christians as compared to II
million before the conversion to
their present form of government.
The government now controls the
churches, but she said the people
choose for themselves.
In answer to a question as to
whether the women had a free
choice about working and putting
their children in nurseries, she
said they were happy to have it
that way because they could help
build the "NEW China"
One Of the men from Circle had
a copy of the House Un-American
Activities report on China, and
asked about the 20 to 80 million
people that were l~iquidated in the
change of government. Her ans
wer was that it was all lies and all
the testimony by missionaries and
those that managed to escape, was
all lies.
She scoffed at Lodge, our re-
preventative at the United Nations.
and expressed her desire that we
trade with China.
In answer to a question con-
corning Chinas' peace loving in
tentionS in entering Korea, she
said they did it to protect the
Koreans from American aggression
There were a few people in at
tendance that seemed to accep-
her statements for face value. In.
cluded were two boys II to IL
years old, who indicated contemp-

Hazelwood of Wibaux and Chris

The problem before the meeting
was to complete proper mileage
through Wyoming connecting with
Interstate highway No. 90.
The Wyoming highway commits
sion endorsed the highway from
Regina south through Regway-
Raymond Customs center north of
brentwood, and directly south in
to Wyoming, from Alzada to a
point near Devils Tower on high
way No. 80. 1t was stated in the
resolution, that in the interest Oh
the defense of the United States
and the economy of the states
involved, the action was a public
necessity.
The meeting was held in the

Discussion was had covering com.
pletion of the road south of Brod

"The fact that Montana Farmers

Kenfield said. Family farmers

Mr.. Dige owns and operates an
irrigated farm south of Sidney.
Two other members make up the
3-member committee which works
with the county supervisor to see
that the best possible use is made
of the agency's farm credit SER
vice program consistent with local
farmers needs. The other two
members are Raymond Norby of
the Sioux Pass community and
A. T. Petersen of Savage. Mr..
Norby will serve as committee
chairman during the next, or 1861,
fiscal year.
Each member is appointed for a
3-year term. MI. Dige succeeds
liver Iversen whose Swear term
expired this year.
The committee determines the
eligibility of individual applicants
for all types of loans. 1t also re-
views borrowers progress and
aids the county supervisor in
adapting the agency's loan polio

MFU membership has climbed
to 1927 families so far this year,
Kenfield said. This is a gain of
225 family memberships over the
1859 total.
"It is especially significant" he
said, chat our membership goes
on growing in the face of declining
farm population and the large
number of whole farms retired
to the soil bank. There are 1,478
whole farms listed in the soil bank
for 1860. In Valley county alone,
1876 farms have been so retired,
yet our Valley county member
ship is higher than that of last
year by lis families.
