a tremendous ovation by the $50

The present organization has
four bases, four tenors, two So

Fire Causes
$4,000 Damage

A Sidney family lost nearly all
of their clothing when a fire broke
out in their home at $40 Fifth St,
S.W., Monday afternoon. A neigh
Dor noticed smoke coming from
the home of Mr.. and Mrs. Ralph
Montalbo, and called the Fire De-
partment. No one was at home at
the time, as Mrs. Montalbo had
gone to the school TO pick up her
children, taking the pre- = school
children with her.
The fire apparently started in a
bedroom, which suffered con-
siderable damage. There was also
extensive smoke damage to other
rooms in the house, with the total
loss being estimated at about
$4,000. The family had assurances
which covered damage for the
home, but did not include the loss
of clothing.
The Ladies Auxiliary of the
Lower Yellowstone Post 4099 of
the Veterans Of Foreign Wars
voted to give $25 to help provide
clothing for the family of Mr.. and
Mrs. Ralph Montalbo, who lost
most of their wardrobe in a fire at
the family home Monday after
noon. The action was taken at the
social meeting of the Auxiliary
Monday evening in the V.F.W.

In a recent meeting of the Rich

When a community the size of

Just what goes into the organlZa-

Sidney for many years has been
long in musical talent. Local high
school bands and croruses have
been widely acclaimed through
out the Northwest. Community
churches put forth particular eff
forts in establishing good choirs.
Yes. the talent was bountiful but

working with a small group. Thus
the Bob Johnson Singers became
a reality.

RECEIVES PEACE MARCHERS
Mrs. Khrushchev Speaks

MOSCOW, Oct. 6 (AP).-
Mrs. Nikita Khrushchev told a
group of Western peace
marchers" today that the So
Wet Union is making no effort
to build air raid shelters.
There is no defense in
nuclear war" said the wife of
the Premier. Therefore, we are
not building any bomb shelters.
We are not getting ready"
There has been considerable
speculation recently in the
United States, and elsewhere
that the Soviet Union is build
ing such shelters.
Mrs. Khrushchev made her
remarks after spending an hour
exchanging pleasantries and
debating disarmament with the
marchers, who arrived here
Tuesday. The debate took
place at Moscow's House of
Friendship" where Mrs. Khru-
shchev's aides served tea,
chocolate and apples.
Most of the marchers did
their best to convince Mrs.
Khrushchev that, if the world
refuses to disarm, one country
should set a good example by
discarding all it's ornaments.

1874 budget for the Police
Department recommended by
budget officials.
The proposed budget is

ment for fiscal 1862 was

The Budget office said that
within existing revenues nc
additional police positions can
be provided toward achieving
the intent of Congress that
the authorized strength of the
department be raised to 5000
uniform positions.
Further, no funds can be
provided for any expansions Of

that this would raise the tota
number of police to 1900, only

The United States consid-

sending American troops to
South Wet Nam in the face
of increasing Communist at
tacks against the government.
High State Department
sources made this known,

Asked about reports United
States officials are consider

bolster the South Wet Nam
government, Mr.. Reap said:
I'm view of the serious stu

Communist attacks against
government defense units, we
are considering various means
of assisting the Wet Nam gov
