Welcome Moose

More than 500 members of the Mon
tana Loyal Order of the Moose will con-
verge on Sidney beginning Wednesday.
Recognizing the Importance the Moose
plays in community projects, Sidney
welcomes this fraternal organization to
eastern Montana. For many it will no
doubt be their first trip to Montana's
pride of the east. We know they will
return to their own particular sections
of the state realizing that in the Yellow
stone Valley, Montana has one of the
most abundant and beautiful valleys in
the country.
The year 1868 is something special to
members of the Moose. 1t marks the
golden anniversary of Mooseheart, the
famed Moose Getty of Children" A home

Coal Research IS Vital

Last week we commented briefly on
the Importance of coal research to this
area. If we are correct in our assump-
ton and through past talks with Senator
c. R. Thiessen, the research would be
primarily concerned with additional
coal uses. The transportation seems to
have been taken care of.
Advances in coal transportation and
use have shored-up the minerals posi-
ton in the economy. Coal is aiming
principally for expanded electrical
power applications, the only use that has
not experienced a decline over the last
ten years.
Much of the credit for GOALS brighten
ing outlook must go to the coal-slurryl
pipeline systems. The pipelines, in which,
coal is transported by water, speed trans

points out. In Montana. except
Tor legislation ON well-spacing
and laws supposed to prevent
production at a rate DAMAGING
to the reservoir, there are no
controls over production. In
the principal producing area of
North Dakota the industrial
commission under market-de-
mand prorationing, limits pro-
duction to the amount expected
to be demanded in the local
market.
The two states also differ in
their tax policies on production
North Dakota levying a 5 per
cent production tax whereas
Montana uses a combination of
three different taxes which re-
suit in a much heavier burden.
At its 1868 session the North
Dakota legislature imposed nc
increased taxes while action
taken by the Montana legisla-
ture will result in Substantial
increase in the ad valorem tax
for many producing areas"

Koenker observes that "un-

the life-span of the industry in
a particular area will last only
until existing wells are pump
ed dry. The dynamics of the in
dustry depend upon finding
reserves at a rate at least equal

taking place in existing fields"
cit is generally believed in
the industry" he said, "that
the most important factor in
hibiting exploration is the cur
rent excess supply Of crude oil
caused by excessive imports"
Although overseas imports of
oil are under quota limitations,
overland imports from Canada
are not, with the result that
Canadian crude coming into
the Twin Cities and Head-of-
the-Lakes refineries and the
condensate that comes into
Montana via Glacier Pipeline
are in direct competition with
regional production"
For the next decade, he pre-
diets, the volume of Canadian
imports and the general world
over-supply of crude oil are
likely to prevent any sharp re-
sumption of exploratory drilling
in the Upper Midwest.
He sees basis for conf

Has Lack of
Motivation
The Sidney Herald

line Sidney Herald
Having studied the local teen
ager at close range and having
noticed the seeming lack of
moral fiber as evidenced in the
increasing number of arrests
of teenagers ON various charges,
I feel compelled to write this
letter. In it I shall discuss what
I think the major character de-
fects are.
The modern teenager has a
lack of motivation unequaled
in American history. There are
exceptions, of course, such as
those youngsters who partici-
pate in science fairs, maintain
high degrees of scholarship,
hold down jobs, etc. But, these
are just the exceptions that
prove the rule.
What was it that settled the
American West? 1t was motiva-
ton to seek a better way of
life. What was it that brought
people speaking many old and
colOrful languages to our
shores? Surely it was not the
knowledge that everything
would be honey and milk. 1t
was motivation that in this
country they could find a new
er, better way of life in a land
where freedom is like a fresh,
cool breeze.
The modern teenager prob
ably would not want to make
such a journey into a strange
land because he was not sure
of complete security or he
lacked the motivation to seek
something better. Contempor-
airy youth just does not have
the will to change his deca.
dent ways.
The physical condition of Oul
youth also shows a depressin!

Stresses Safe
Driving
Dear Editor:

Dear Editor:
The purpose of this letter is
to impress upon all automobile
drivers of the mass murder
being committed on our blood
stained highways. We may
think this statement shocking
and foolish, but in 1862 more
people died on our roads than
were lost in the Revolutionary
War, The War of 1912, The
Spanish American War and the
Korean War.
The biggest cause of accidents
is carelesSness on the part of
one of the drivers. Even extra
careful drivers have to be on
guard against not only their
driving, but that of all others
on the road.
One of the ever increasing
cause of accidents is alcohol.
1t takes SO little to cause so
much grief. Alcohol and gaso-
line make a very deadly cock
tail. Everyone knows better,
but it's SO easy to become a
little careless.
Remember on this holiday,
we can all strive to make it
truly an independence Day
from Death. Death takes no
Holiday, BUT it does take g
lot of Holiday Drivers"
The Sidney Key Club would
like to thank the careful drivers
of Montana for making the
highways safer during the past
holiday weekend.
We would like to thank all
merchants who aided us i'm our
campaign. A special thanks goes
to Gem City Motors, FulkerSor
Funeral Home, j. c. Penny Co.
and B. d. Ness, for the neces-
sary materials for our parade
float and window display.
We hope our small effort hac
something to do with the safe
driving locally, and that al
drivers will continue to BIZ
mindful of accidents and theil
prevention throughout the res
OF the summer.

The youth of today cannot

ruin. I hate to think of Ameri-

Rev. Billy Graham wrote in
an editorial that America is at

Rome was before its fall. This
is due to the decay of Ameri-

there had better be some
changes made before the con-

Use of Fireworks
To the Editor of the

To the Editor of the
Sidney Herald:
1 wish to write TO protest
against the use of fire works
in Sidney for such a long per-
iod of time. I am sure there
are many elderly citizens who
do not appreciate this incessant
bombing going on as late as
midnight.
1t seems that there could be
a way for youngsters to get
the thrill of a long honored
custom of making loud noises in
celebration of our Indepen-
dence Day without torturing
those who have infirmities that
come with age which make this
SO called celebration of liberty
a torture and a real threat to
health.
And may I ask why parents
are so thoughtleSs as to allow
their children to have their
fun at the expense Of their
neighbors. There was one in
stance where grown boys
threw a loud cracker into a
doorway down town where
elderly ladies were there at
tending to their own business.
Can it be that we are raising
a generation who are so un-
mindful of the rights of others
and SO sadistive that they car
can enjoy hearing someone
scream even though the shock
could cause a heart attack anc

Oil refineries of the Upper
Midwest, now served by pipe

areas in Montana and North
Dakota, have been developed on

report said.
The industry today is
served by six large refin-

Up And Down Main Street
by Cliff Urseth

We see where one of our Montana
editors feels that it's r%epugnant that
the government didn't start providing
medical care for all our citizens under
the social security plan a long time ago.
AS a young man of 81, this really sets
me back in my seat. We recognize the
need is present fer some of u senior
citizens, however, we seriously queS-
ton the wisdom of the editors proposal.
We start a young person out in life
working as a car hop, waitress, errand
boy, etc., and we then furnish him with
a social security number. Upon its is
suance we point out one of the fea-
lures of the number is that his medical
care is being taken care of by the gov
eminent. Before they're even old en-
ough to vote they're looking for the
next handout. Of course, they're paying
for it and there's always the hidden
costs that enter the picture when the
government handles your money.
The only thing we can surmise, is that
people with these ideas don't like to
work.
A speaker we heard the other day
voiced it quite nicely. He said, and we
agree, that nowadays college graduates
want the same things after graduation
that it took their parents 40 years to
acquire. When you hire EN- in these
times you have to first explain the fringe
benefits, salary and finally what they're
going to have to do to earn a salary.
We're not that old that we can't a.
gree that times are changing and as our
country moves at this quickened pace,
our youth naturally are doing the same.
But neither are we that naive that we
would follow some of this Inflated adj
vice and see the initiative taken away
that will keep our country strong in
moral fiber.
What really shakes NEON who ap-
preciates the opportunities this country
has provided, is to read this kicker from
the editorial writer According to
i'm. when this country provides medi-
cal care to the aged "the United States
will be partly in step with other adj
vanced nations instead of wallowing
in the wake of advancing mankind a.
long with the South American dictator
republics, Spain, Portugal and similar
backward nations"
That's really a mouthful. All that's
lacking is a soapbox and a public
square.
These advanced countries whose wake
we are wallowing in are constantly ex-
~periencing political and economic I'M
rest with the resultant purges, exiles
and executions along with hunger
and ignorance.
Kinda lets the air out of that Fourth
of July speech we heard.
