Telephone company
points to record
expansion in 1961
A record sls million was spent
for expansion and improvement of
telephone facilities in Montana
during 1961, according to George
I Kedhair. vice president and gen
oral manager for .Mountain States
Telephone For the past six years
the firm's Montana construction
program has averaged nearly sl2
million each year
The diversified projects complet
ed during the year included new
buildings and dial systems at
Laurel. Harlowton and Roundup
and new community dial ex
changes at Judith Gap and Fort
Smith (Yellowtail Dam).
Direct distance dialing was in
augurated for one - fourth of the
state’s telephones embracing Bill
ings. Helena. Laurel. Harlowton.
Roundup. Bridger. Joliet. From
berg. Park City and East Helena
Other projects included a new
type microwave system, construct
ed for service between Hardin and
Billings, and conversion to seven
digit numbering which eliminated
letter-number combinations in 63
telephone exchanges throughout
the state New buildings for fu
ture dial systems were completed
at Fort Benton. Deer Lodge, Bel
grade. Three Forks and Pray.
Nearly 5900 telephones were
gained in the company's Montana
operations for a year-end total of
219.700. Redhair said Long dis
tance calling increased about 5^
ove r 1960.
The company plans to make sub
stantial additions to its Montana
plant facilities during 1962. Red
hair stated, with expenditures of
over sl3 million planned during
the year
Since Hardin s dial phones did
not go into operation until Feb. 2.
1962. they are not included in the
list of 1961 improvements.

Cattle and sheep owners are
now losing a number of animals
to a condition that looks like
blackleg, but isn’t blackleg It is
called ‘‘false” blackleg, is often
confused with other blackleg like
diseases, and the alert stockman
will want to bring himself up to
date on it.
At one time true blackleg
caused an estimated 10 per cent
death rate among cattle Then
veterinary scientists developed
a bacterin which gave a good
measure of protection, and in
blackleg areas systematic vac
’’■nation virtually solved the prob
lem
However, another blackleg like
organism soon came along a
closely-related organism which
caused a “look-alike” disease
When "false" blackleg strikes,
it may cause deaths of up to 5 per
cent of the calf crop.
called malignant edema Again
science met the problem, this
time with a new. combined bac
tcrin to protect against both dis
eases Veterinarians have now
been using this combined bacterin
with excellent results for several
decades
But, today, still a third prob
lem has developed This is the so
called false blackleg It can be
caused by any of three different
bacteria, all related to the original
blackleg organism They cause
symptoms which look identical to
-blackleg There may be swellings
under the skin, also loss of ap
petite. rapid breathing and de
pression and violent convulsions
may occur just before death
Because the blackleg, malig
nant edema and false blackleg
picture is so complicated, the
first step when blackleg like
symptoms appear la to have a
votennanan make a diagnosis
This often involves special tests
to identify the exact bacterium in
volved Once that la established,
proper protective steps can be
taken
la the meantime, authorities
urge that in areas where blackleg
has been a problem, owners
should continue to have cattle and
sheep vaccinated Blackleg and
malignant edema are too potent a
pair of killers Io permit us to let
down our guard against them At
the same time, we want to be
.watchful lor toise-blackleg If
