MIR. Leo N. Schwartz
Editor Sidney Herald
Sidney, Montana
Dear MI. Schwartz:
AS one having had a vantage
position in the Senate of the Thir-
ty-seventh Legislative Session just
closed, where l could watch all
proceedings, hear all debate and
observe the effectiveness of de-
pate, 1 can report to the people
of Richland county that their Sem
ator Thiessen made an outstand-
ing record in this session. He was
respected by his colleagues - both
in the sense of character and as
a worthy opponent - and was ap-
pointed to some of the most i'm
portant and powerful committees,
where he served with distinction.
He became recognized as a tire
less worker and a fearless fighter
for causes that he believed in,
very often causes of the common
people that were not represented
by smooth lobbyists. The power
full corporation Hobbies found him
a difficult man to influence and
the methods they sometimes en-
ploy were not even attempted on
him.
His debates on the floor were
never lengthy but pointed, convin-
cling and had a telling effect. His
honesty and sincerity commanded
respect and support.
Senator Thiessen's finest hour
came in the closing days of tbs
session; when serving on a join
Conference Committee to iron ou'
differences between the House
and the Senate on methods o.
distributing School Equalization
Funds to the school districts O.
the state, he found it necessary K
stand alone on the six man Com
mittee report. He stood for the
principle that the distribution
should be on the basis of need il
order that every boy and girl il
Montana shall have an opportu
nifty for equal basic education. H
carried his single handed figh
to the Senate floor so successful,
that on the last day of the session
under temporary suspension o
the rules - he was permitted
introduce his Senate Bill No. 20
that accomplished in a major de
gree the detectives he SO Valiant.

Speech, Hearing
Clinic Dates Set

The Montana State Elks Associ-
alton is sponsoring a Speech and
Hearing Clinic in the Elks Home
in Sidney. This program is avail
able to any person regardless of
age, and parents are urged to
bring their children. The therapist
is Paula Lois Nix.
A speech defect can best be des-
cribed as any deviation which
calls attention to how the speaker
talks rather than what he has to
say. This can and often does in
clude "baby-talk" or the misuse
of sounds. Few, if any children
with these problems can outgrow
them, with some outside help. This
help should be given under the
supervision of a qualified thera-
pist.
There is no fee for tins program.
Donations are welcome though.
This program is the state project
of the Montana State Elks Associ-
alton and is administered anC

term on the board of directors.
A very timely and Informative
talk was given by Elmer Ladwig,
Public Relations Director for the
Farmers Union Central Exchange.
Mr.. Ladwig, in his talk pointed
out that c~ooperatives are an asset
to a community and are a part of
the patrons own business and
should be considered as such.
He further stated that in his.
opinion cooperatives and their pat

and that our own public relations
are at fault. He encouraged CO.

those individuals in forming them
selves on these vital issues. They
also expressed special thanks to
the Elks and Andy Anderson who
were the perfect hosts, Knut
Hoverstein and his lads for their
fine science display and the XII
wanians for their generosity at the
noon meal. 1t was felt by Larson
and Mielke that if the project is
to be continued, an earlier date
would probably be advisable.
However, the lack of interest by
the town people would have to be
listed as the number one reason
for disseminating the events if it
were to be Cancelled next year.

"It's merely within the framework Of
the regular baseball contract" Reilly said.
"It didn't include anything concerning
split in the concessions, for example. We
expect to get counter proposal from him
soon"
Actually, the Redskins are the only
tenants signed up for the place. Even
George Washington u, which expects to
play its four home games there, hasn't
signed on the dotted line. The Colonials
will play two Saturday afternoon games at
the 50,0OO-seat plant, and one may be the
official dedcatory game, October Z, with
Virginia Military. 1t would mean record
crowd for CIV home game, especially if
the downtown school could get the White
House Softball Team in the first half of a
double-header.
The Redskins are more concerned with
their Silver Anniversary game against the
New York Giants, october 1, than with
officially dedicating the place. They play
the first game in the new bowl all right,
but the ribbon-cutting hoopla may come
later.
AND SPEAKING OF the Redskins, you

Coach Bill McPeak, his staff and corps
