Moisture Causes
Track To Settle

A moisture soaked roadbed on
the Northern Pacific Railway
track, just south of Savage, inter
rupted freight train schedules be-
tween Gleudive and Sidney Fri
DAY morning. The moisture caus-
ed the track to settle TO the point
where it was considered unsafe
to try to send trains over the
rails. No freight trains entered
Sidney over the track on Fri
day, Saturday, or Sunday, but
train track crews from Sidney and
Savage, and a work train from
Glendive, were working to re-
pair the track, and service is
expected to be resumed some
time January /. The track will
be re-aligued and moved over
about ten feet, in order to secure
solid footing for rails.
A switch engine on hand at
Sidney, is continuing to move nee
eSsary heavy supplies such as
coal and sugar beets, in order TO
keep the Holly Sugar plant and
other industries operating, but no
traAls or freight will be able to
get through from Glendive until
uhe track is moved.
Freight service into Sidney con-
tinued over the Great Northern
from Richey-Lambert branch, and
from WilliSton, N. D., as well as
the freight service from Sidney to
Savage. No estimate of the cost
OF re-aliguing the track was i'm

Mqveh of Dimes Helps Dry Youngsters Tears of Pain

Anthony Ryan wasn't nor
mally a crybaby. But at 10
months he began crying
almost necessarily, and at
times even screamed.
His loving parents in Phila-
delphia were nearly out Of
their minds. With four other
small children, the household
was pandemonium. No one ap-
peared to know precisely what
was causing the infants dread
full paroxysms of pain.
Eight months and countless
tears later, the cause of An
thongs agony was at last dag
nosed as rheumatoid arthritis,
seemingly affecting every area
of his tiny body.
It's IL years now since An
thony was stricken. He will
limp the rest of his life; he
cannot play baseball today
with the other boys in the
block, and he is still in a great
deal of pain. AS a matter of
fact. until just a short time ago
he couldn't even turn his head.
Science has not yet licked the
problem of Anthony and of
thousands of children like him.
There is still no simple, accu-
rate test for the early diagnosis
of rheumatoid arthritis, al
though the outlook is hopeful.
But many rheumatologistS
would agree today that had
modern diagnostic tools been
available to him, and had An
thony been examined immedi-
ately by a "team" of specialists
in the medical and allied pro-
fessions-the group of ortho-
pedists, pediatricians, labora-
tory research scientists, physi-
cal therapists and others now
available in March of Dimes
financed treatment centers in
many parts of the nation-An-
thony today might be skating
with the other kids on the
frozen pond at the bottom OF

Habedank Makes
Official Visit To
Sidney Kiwanis

The programs and accomplish
mentS of KiVyanis International
were explained at the meeting of
the Sidney Kiwanis Thursday, at
their luncheon meeting in the La
londe Hotel. Outgoing Governor of
the Montana District, Otto Habe-
dank, making his official visit, told
the group that n of the greatest
contributions made by Kiwanis, is
in getting communities to do
things for themselves to better the
community. This is done by local
Kiwanians, meeting once each
week to discuss needs of their
communities, who then work thru
other organizations of which they
are also members, to secure SUD
port for the projects.
Among the programs of Kiwan-
is are the Key Clubs for teen age
boys, which help to provide voca-
tional and other guidance; student
exchange programs, Sunshine
camps etc. Although one of the
smallest of the Kiwanis Interna-
tional Districts, the Montana Dis
trict sent the fourth largest dele
cation of so members to the Key
Club convention in Philadelphia.
An Anaconda boy was a candidate
for International Trustee, and an
other Montana boy was runner up
in the contest for 1t. Governor.
Two new Kiwanis Clubs were
also built in 1861 at Wolf Point
and Yellowtail.
Guests at the luncheon were
Fred Lauster of H~iattsville, Md,
who is visiting his mother, and
Kendall Habedank, a student at
the Air Force Academy in Colo
RADIO Springs, who is spending the
holidays here with his parents.

There are tens of thousands Of

in the United States today. One
reason The National Founda-

is that almost 700 babies are
born each day in this country
with significant birth defects,
accounting for more than d.
900 deaths each year. Gripping
rheumatoid arthritis affects 3d.
600 children and adolescents-
apart from the overall toll Of
III million American victims of
rheumatic diseases.

mistakes only as a warning for
the future.
We remember the interest and
support that you have given to
the various programs that this adj
m~inistration has brought forth, for
without that interest and support
this government or any other
would not long remain efficient

City employees attended police

designed to help the city do

We find that Sidney has been en-
