come.
Dr J. W. Safford, Helena, of
the Livestock Sanitary board, re
ported on progress being made
combatting red water and lepto
spirosis. In the latter disease,
he reported that a new vaccine

er preventive effect than the
present vaccine, which requires
cattlemen to re-vaccinate about
every six months.
Dr. R. D. Read, Ronan vet
erinarian, reported on the bru
cellosis control citing that there
are now only two counties in
the state not under the pro

Mr and Mrs Gary Browning.
Mr Browning attended a confer
ence on milking equipment. En
route home they were overnight
guests of their son-in-law and
daughter, Mr and Mrs Boyd
Brown.
Mr and Mrs Bob Stroud and
family of Bozeman were house
guests of Mrs Stroud’s mother,
Mrs Ruby Anderson, this week.
Mrs Ruby Anderson received
a call Tuesday from Chas.
Goodscli at Emmett, Idaho, to
inform her that his wife, age
78, has passed away. Mrs Good
sell was a cousin of Mrs Ander
son.
The rural fire truck was call
ed to the highway west of town
Wednesday afternoon to ex
tinguish a fire in Jim Moran’s
car. It is believed that a short
circuit caused the fire which
burned out the wiring and dam
aged the upholstery.
Mr and Mrs Alvin Orr drove
to Butte to spend the week end.
Mr and Mrs Leonard Brown
and children drove over from
Stevensville to visit Mr and Mrs
Joseph Mahe jr and Lois Sun
day.
The Willing Workers club met
of distorting facts. In particu
lar, he defended the defeat of
the proposed doubling of fees on
state grazing lands, citing that
revenue for the schools from this
source only amounts to about 1
per cent of the total; yet, pro
ponents of the bill attempted to

In the evening at a banquet
in the temple dining room, John
French, Ronan, presided as mas
ter of ceremonies. A. L. Libra,
Helena, counsel for the Montana
Fish and Game commission,
spoke on stockman-sportsman re
lationships.
Libra said that nearly all state
conservation agencies agree that
the true key to good landowner
sportsman relationships is com
mon courtesy on the part of
hunters and fishermen in the
field. Programs are effected
through publicity and education
to impress the sporting public
that they have this responsibil
ity. A program such as this can
not be completed in one fell
swoop but involves a continuous
campaign.
Wayne Bratton, Winnett, pres
ident of the Montana Stock
growers association, attended
the meeting and banquet. He
spoke briefly at the dinner on
the problems concerning the
state group. Ralph Miracle, as
sociation executive secretary,

ization’s plans.

served by the Order of Eastern
