Our own slant on happenings in
Hardin and Big Horn County.
This week the Hardin Youth
Council is asking public financial
support for its summer program, and
is hoping that enough people will
make voluntary donations so that
no drive for funds will be necessary.
As has no doubt been previously
noted, we have some very strong
opinions about the work of the
Youth Council and its summer re
creation program, and they’re all
favorable.
We have three youngsters enrolled
in various activities ourselves, so we
are going out on a limb when we
state that we feel that the parents
whose children participate are mo
rally obligated to help financially.
The Council could set a fee for each
activity in which a boy or girl re
gisters, but so far has not done so
because of the feeling that some
youngsters who need the program
would not be able to participate.
This wouldn’t be necessary, and
neither would any kind of drive for
funds, if the parents of the boys and
girls who benefit from the program
sent In checks or cash in whatever
amount they feel they can afford.
This, of course, puts us right behind
the eight ball—and so the Youth
Council can be expecting a check
from us in the immediate future.
“Put up or shut up," is the slogan
that applies here —and we hsve no
intention of getting silent at this
late date.
o
‘Great Dey!" was bound to bring
forth some comments from us. We
thought It was amazingly good —
what we saw of it. We managed to
get Involved with the grease paint
—which we always seem to do— and
were too busy changing people’s ap
pearances during the early portion
to get in and see it. W're forced to
agree with Kay Burkhardt — we
didn’t know there was so much ta
lent around. So many people were
so good that it’s impossible to single
out anyone for individual comment.
It wouldn’t be fair to so many oth
ers.
And of course we have a complaint
—but it’s nothing new. The stage
in the junior high gym is difficult
to work on for three large reasons.
The first is that the acoustics are
bad. This is something everyone
knows, and is due to the fact that
the gym is a multipurpose room and
has an extremely high celling for
basketball. The second is that the
stage lighting is poor and difficult
to do anything about, and the third
Is that the back-stage area Is Inade
quate—you just can’t get scenery,
props and actors in that limited
space. This doesn’t mean that we
think much can be done about the
present stage. We are lucky to have
any stage at all where there is
large seating capacity. It is just a
suggestion regarding any new con
struction of this type that may be
done. Better lighting would be a
comparatively easy thing to take
care of when a stage is being built—
and so would adequate back-stage
space.
And while we’re on the subject of
"Great Day!”, we’d like to inform
everyone that there was a mix-up
over the make-up money. Everyone
who had make-up done for the show
was asked to chip in and help pay
for it. In the excitement and con
fusion of getting ready for the play,
records were not kept of who did
and who didn’t. Anyone who didn’t
find the right person to give their
30 cents to may still pay it—either
to Kay Burkhardt or Doug Freeman,
who is acting as treasurer for the
show.
We can’t resist one comment on
an individual. Frank Solazzi seems
to have gotten his share of the Ita
lian flair for acting. We got a tre
mendous kick out of the "city offi
cials,” add we thought his perfor
mance was particularly ful of fire.
Speaking of Mr. Solazzi naturally
brings us to the band, and to some
Information he gave us this week
which we feel should be made pub
lic. The high school band has made
one trip to Wyoming this year and
has received another invitation. Last
year It. also played for two events
in that state. In every case trans
portation and meals were furnished
to the Hardin high school musicians
and they were treated as honored
guests. Sooooo last week, the band
was "Invited” to participate in the
Western Days parade in Billings, if
the Hardin merchants will pay the
expenses! Mr. Solazzi stated with
out hesitation that he wouldn’t
think of asking the business men to
do any more for the band. He feels
that local support has been excel
lent, and that the people of Hardin
have done more than, enough by
buying new uniforms last year, and
helping in many other ways. He
commented that Casper and Gillette,
Wyo., could not possibly expect to
gain any business from Hardin resi
dents, and that a very little from
here goes to Sheridan—and he add
ed that he thought this incident
should make local shoppers think
twice before spending much In Bil
lings.
——o
It just goes to show that we should
patronize our home town merchants.
They are the ones that support all
local activities—and besides their
prices compare favorably with out
of-town merchants, they stand back
of their merchandise, and they're
here and easily available If the cus
tomer does have a complaint.

May Apply Now
For 1960 Wheat
Acreage Allotment
Operators of farms on which no
wheat was seeded for grain in 1957
and on which no acreage allotment
has been established for 1958 or
1959 may apply for 1960 new farm
wheat allotments, Leo S. Kolstad,
state Agricultural Stabilization and
Conservation administrative officer,
has announced.
Applications must be in writing
and on a form which is available
at county ASC offices. The final
date for requesting a 1960 new
farm allotment where winter wheat
will be planted this is July 1.
There will be another application
period in the spring of 1960 for
producers on farms where only
spring wheat will be grown next
year.
Kolstad explained that under the
present law the growing of wheat
on a farm in 1958 or 1959 does not
make the farm ineligible for 19C0
new farm allotment. Kolstad pointed
out, however, that applications wul
be denied if the applicant is farming
other land on which an allotment
is established or if the person who
will operate the new wheat farm is
the operator of other land for
which an allotment is established.
All applicants are urged to care
duuly read and complete the
application form since it provides
basic Information on which the
county and state committees will
determine the qualifications of the
applicant and. if qualified, the
acreage allotment to be established.
All land Included in a farm must
be covered by the application and
not just a tract or parcel of an
existing farming operation.

Prairie Dog Control
Work to Begin in
County On June 15
June 15 will be D-day for the few |
remaining prairie dog towns in this 1
area, according to an announcement 1
issued this wevk by Leo F. Kleffner.,
county extension agent.
The county has been carrying on I
a fairly extensive prairie dog control
program in recent years. There are
still a few isolated dog towns in
some parts of the county that will
be poisoned this summer.
Alvin Schaffer will begin the at
tack on the little rodents on June
15. Much of his work will be clean
up or follow-up operations in old
towns where a few dogs have begun
to establish themselves again This
work costs the landowner nothing.
Where new towns are poisoned,
the cost is 25c per acre if Schaffer 1
works alone, and 15c per acre if the
landowner furnishes a helper.
Kleffner said the prairie dog con- '
trol program is financed by coopera
tion on the part of the U. S Fish
and Wildlife service, the Montana
Livestock commission and Big Horn
county.
Any farmer or rancher who knows
the whereabouts of any prairie dog
towns is urged to contact Alvin
Schaffer or leave his name and the
location of the dog town at the
county extension office.
