and good will.
"Rotarians in more than 1920
communities on six continents" he
said, 'are helping to draw nations
closer together through their eff
forts to build understanding
among men of different creeds and
colors. They are also at work in
the area of public opinion, helping
TO shape it on important world
issues by providing information on
which sound decisions can be
made"
Mr.. Hassler also emphasized the
Importance of the individual Ro-
tartan to the globa1 program of

Milford Rotarians, 1--WE are urged
by our international president,
Nitish c. Laharry, of Calcutta,
India, to develop to the fullest our
own personal capacities for world
fellowship and for personal serv-
ice. President Laharry believes
that by 'kindling the spark within
we take the first step toward re-
leasing the latent power in each of
us to be of service to others"
Speaking of the work of Rotary
clubs in international affairs, Mr..
Hassler commended the local club

New License Plates
To Bear Legend

Recent announcement that future
issues of Delaware automobile Ii
cense plates will bear the legend
"The First State" serves to call at
tention to the fact that more than
one half of the fifty states now
feature a slogan, motto or. some
form of promotional gimmick o n
their auto tags, notes the Delaware
State Development Department.
According to the state informa-
tion agency, twenty-three states,
including Delaware, now feature
notices, nicknames or slogans on
auto tabs. Four states are reported
as using the outline of their boun-
daries on their license plates and
at least seven others use m e
type of pictorial gielmick.
Virtually all of the slogans, mot
toes and gimmicks advertise either
tourist attractions or food pro-
ducts. Notable exceptions are In
diana and North Carolina each of
which uses slogans tied in with
highway 9afety programs.
Arkansas drivers remind passing
motorists that their state is a
LAND of Opportunity, Main e
licensed vehicles call public atten-
ton to Maine as a "Vacationland' -,

Severe thunderstorm with h gh
winds, rain and hail, caused dam
age running into thousands of dol

State Fair last Saturday, on the
opening day.
Itowas the worst of several freak
storms that struck the area during
the day. Q
At least five fires were caused
by lightning that accompanied the
thunderstorms. One fire was at the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. Jimmy Mar
vel, Houston. Quick work by Hous-
ton Volunteer Fireman, working
under handicap, kept down the loss.
The violent outbursts erupted at
scattered points, with some areas
missing the turbulence altogether.
The storm, described as a baby
twister, struck the state fair at
Harrington, about $50 pm. a S
Saturday.
High winds twisted steel and
shredded canvas tents. Two large
ferris wheels toppled to the ground
damaging equipment as they e /.
The wheels were valued ait approx

Ruth Johnson of Georgetown and
Pat Dickey of Spartanburg, S. c.,
were admitted to Milford Memorial
Hospital with head injuries and
bruises, suffered when the 92-foot
skywheel, tallest ride on th
ground, fell. They were listed n
fair condition.
A. B. Parsogs, vice president of
the fair, said about $500 persofs
we're on the fairgrounds when the
storm hit. The drenching rain that
preceded the winds drove many to
shelter under a grandstand.

Mt. Enon Church Has
Shown Steady Growth

Many people there are who will
say, THE past is dead, forget it.
Look only to the future" Still it is
an undeniable fact that all of that
which we plan for the future must
be based upon what has gone be-
fore. If we would measure pro-
gress, we must set stakes.
The first stake for the Mt. Enon
Baptist Church was set in the year
of 1918. She had very humble be-
ginning in that the pitiful few per-
sons who wanted a church home
had no building in which to wor-
ship (hold meetings as they would
say). Thru the kindness of the late
Mrs. Emma Deputy and her hus-
band, the Baptists, used a vacant
room in her home on Church Ave-
nue.
The late Rev. J. H. Marshall, pas
tor of the Union Baptist Church of
Dover, Delaware, acted as pastor
and spiritual advisor until the con-
gregation grew stong enough to

Commissioners
Talk Assessments

Richland County Commission
ers met Tuesday with Harry Hol-
mes of Big Timber, a State Super
visor for the Board of Equiliza-
ton, on the statewide land re-
classification project to study land
values after the current reclasSi-
fication project.
Chairman James -Spurgeon said
that the County Commissioners
and assessors have agreed on one
set of values, somewhat different
from the values set by the State
Board of Equalization. The meet
ing was concerned with reconcil-
ing the two sets of values.
Generally speaking, the State
Board has set lower values on
grazing lands Spurgeon said, but
higher values on land given over
to wild hay, and on dry land
farming lands. Commissioners
from all over the state, protested
the higher values at the conven-
ton of county assessors held about
a month ago.
Richland County has re-valued
all property in the county, with
the exception of property in Fair
view, the business places in Sid
ney and about 200 rural buildings.
The revaluation of the buildings
is being carried out by the JUS
tin Haynes Co. of Denver and was

Richlond Homes
Fund Drive Moves
Into High Gear

The Richland Homes fund drive
aimed at raising $4,000, kicks off
this Friday night.
Three Sidney residents will ap-
pear on KUMV-TV at $40 MIST
with a program backgrounding
the Home since its beginning and
some information what facilities
and other commitments are need
ed. KICK of Sidney will present
a special program from the
Home this Sunday at 4 pm.
The actual community sohcita-
ton will get under way December
8 and continue through December
Is. Much of this work win be
handled by Richland County
churches and their members.
Members of the finance COM
mittee have stated that the fund
drive is necessary in order TO
meet obligations since the COM
pletion of the Home. Some are
owed to both banks in Sidney, the
Community Memorial Hospital in
Sidney and about $4,000 on fur
niture and interest and other mis-
~cellaneouS needs.
They pointed out that if this
fund drive is successful, there will
not be a need for similar drives
each year. They have aimed at
starting a "Richland Homes Day.
each year about this time. AT that
time it is hoped that families in
the area will remember the Home
with gifts.
Members of the committee have
stated that during the solicitation
they will be glad to take gifts other
than money. They said this week
that grain and livestock would be
accepted and welcomed.
Churches in the area will be
using special bulletins giving a
background on the Home and tit
led, 1.-The Golden Years"
Harry johnson, Chairman of the
Richland Homes, said n serious
aspect Of this shortage of funds is
that the home is being restricted
from providing needed therapy
and recreational diversions for the
residents. A spacious recreation
room is located in the basement
however, for lack of funds it sits
idle. The same holds true for ther-
apy equipment that is a must for
a Home of this type.

Type II Vaccine
Clinic Is Saturday
And Sunday Here

Sabin oral polio vaccine Type
III will be given this Saturday
and Sunday from l to 6 pm. at
the Sidney Jr. High School.
Type l was given in September
and we hope to give Type III be-
fore the polio season begins in
the spring. There has been some
controversy regarding the safety
of Type III vaccine, which we
hope will be completely resolved
by then.
Each type vaccine is specific
for that variety of polio, and gives
no protection from the other two.
Consequently, all three doses are
necessary for complete protection.
However the sequence in which
they n given is not critical, SO
anyone may take Type ii this
weekend. The vaccine is available
from your family physician al
regular fee for any dose you
miss.
Local doctors, nurses and phar-
macistS are donating their ser
vices. The Richland County Health
department is in charge of regis
tration and the JayceeS of Fair.

Still Room for More Livestock
Feeding in the Yellowstone Valley

There's still room for a lot
more livestock feeding in the
Yellowstone Valley.
That was the opinion of Ralph
Cunningham, president of the
Montana Livestock Association,
who spoke at the evening banquet
at the Lower Yellowstone Live
stock Feeders Day in Fairview
Saturday.
About 100 persons took part in
the day-long tour and evening
banquet. FeedlOt operators and
visitors toured the farms of Glenn
ASbeck, Wick Reidle and Eddie
Bratcher. They inspected 1850
lambs at the Asbeck farm, 200
steers and calves on feed, an auto
mated feed distribution system
with air free storage at the Reid
lie farm and Angus calves on feed
using an alley feeding system at
the Bratcher farm.
Directing his talk mainly at
those just getting into livestock
feeding, Cunningham warned
tnOSe going INTO feedlng ABOUT
the false idea that it's a get rich
quick operation. DON'T expect to
start right off making a lot of
money, he said.
Turning TO feed, Cunningham
advised that those producing
mostly roughage should winter
calves or eve lambs for sale in
the spring to range operators, or
buy COWS and feed them up a
grade with a minimum of grain,
IF you feed yearlings of either
sex, you can feed them TO grade
good, or go on and make them

justifieS it," he said. Don't try
TO make low grade cattle into
