He’s start- ing to be noticed. Last week Pryor introduced the Dillon city council to what he is planning to do as the city's chief law enforcement officer. Basically, Pryor said, he is planning on enforcing existing laws. Pryor showed the councilmen a copy of a warning ticket that will be placed on improperly parked cars. He, along with the mayor, told the council the force would start to enforce a wide range of laws, including dog - leash laws, a curfew for young sters, traffic laws and the open container ordinance. In addition, the chief is plan ning to concentrate on officer training and continue efforts against drugs. _ Among the steps he plans to take is enforcing Dillon’s old curfew law. In a notice to stu dents printed in the Dillon high school newspaper. H ie Beaver, the police are planning to en force a 9:30 p.m. weekday cur* few on children 13 and under; and a 10:30p.m. curfewfor those 14-17. Weekend curfew times are 10:30 p.m. for children 13 and under and 12:30 a.m. for 14- ■ 17. Provisions have been made, Pryor said, to extend tiie curfew 30 minutes after any school ac tivity. ■ \ “My only incentive,\ Pry o ri said, in enfordngthe cuif«|r,^i« • nity to contact these ki<L. “We’re not going to run and give tickets.

Public comment on a new ice rink, to be b u ilt by the Jaycees near Parkview Junior H igh, w ill be sought a t the school’s regular board meetingTuesday, Nov. 14 at 8 p.m. The rink, financed through the United Way, will be b u ilt as a Jaycee project on property west ofthe school, on the north end of the land, according to Jaycee project chairman Ken Smith. To be included in the plans for the rink are a warminghouse and eventually a concrete liner that w ill double as a tennis court in the spring. * The rink will be dug soon, Smith said, and should be ready for use this winter. jy, • The City of Dillon has with drawn $15,050 which it .claiins was over-deposited into the permanent care and improve ment fond of the city. Tiie council, in two resolu tions, maintained that under state statues any permanent care fond cannot receive less ■than 15 percent nor more than 40 percent of the money raised firom cemetery lot sales. Since 1980,' according to Mayor/Jim Wilson, the city has deposited interest firom the fund ! back into the permanent care fund and since that time was depositing $70 of the $100 lot sale price into the fund as well. The total amount, Wilson said, came to $15,050, including other deposits from sexton fees and cemetery care. The council, in a 7-1 decision. w itn Xcpi^cUm an 7 E v e rett Johhson voting \no\, passed a resolution to withdraw the money and moved it into the cemetery's maintenance fund. The second resolution, which passed unanimously, seeks to correct an oversight datingback to 1962, when Beaverhead. County wa£ created into one ^ public cemetery d istrict A per manent care and improvement fund was' directed’tor be estab lished b ut no action was ever taken to actually form the fund. The counciljn its resolution, is asking the District Court to create a City ofDillon Perpetual Care and Trust Fund and ap point five trustees to administer thefund. I t is asking that Frank Busch, Margaret Hagenbarth, FayeWhSekfy, Walter Bnuidageu and Margaret Jappe be named as trustees. I t also requests the court tb direct the county com missioners to include on the next county election ballot a request to the taxpayers to approve an ' S a v e t h e b u s ' additional 1.5 m ills cftax& tor the operation and maintienance oftheMoun tain View Cemetery. \ , In other matters, the council heard a report concerning es- tabtishingadtycurfewfor young people and the enforcement of existing dty ordinances. (See story on this page.) Save the bus. . _ .. That’s the plea of Beaverhead Allied Senior Service (BASS), which operates the Beaverhead Bus for senior dtizens. \The Beaverhead Bus is in dire need of funds,\ according to Ruth Haugland, coordinator for the volunteer project Haugland, who also works a t Barrett Memorial Hospital, noted that more money is needed because ofthe rising cost o f foel and maintenance. BASS was organized in 1985 to help senior citizens in keeping doctor’s appointments and for shopping. \We're grateful for the spon sors of this project,” Haugland said, including the hospital, United Way, Pfizer, Beaverhead County commissioners and area residents, b ut additional money is s till needed. The bus travels from Lima to Butte on the first and third Tuesdays of each month, leav ing Lima a t 8a.m. The cost is $7 firom Lima and$5 from D illon.It runs to Dillon on the first and third Thursdays o f each month as well, leaving l i m a at 8:30 a.m. The cost is $5. Insurance and licenses forthe bus are paid for fay the county. Don Merrell oflama is thedriver and Betty Calvert and Dorothy Peterson are collectors for the memorial fund in Lima. Marion Merrell is the treasurer. Those interested in the bus service can call Don Merrell a t 276-3474 for reservations. C o r e c o u r s e s i m p r o v e A C T s c o r e s Beaverhead County High School students are doing well, as measured by the national ACT scores, and those students who have completed a core curricu lum of college' preparatory classes are doing better yet BCHS .p r in c ipal Dennis Kimzey noted that a five-year average of scores for ACT-tested students, as provided by tiie testing service, shows BCHS students actually takingthe test ranking above tiie national av erage eveiy year, except for the school year 1985-86, when they ranked slightly below the na tional scores. Testing on four different ar eas, the ACT test is taken by juniors knd seniors a ll over the nation, Kimzey noted. With scores running from 1 to 36, BCHS students ih thelast school year scored a composite rating of 20.8, considerably above the national score of 18.6. In the past year BCHS stu dents scored an average of 19.4 in English, 19.2 in math, 19.1 in soda! studies and 25.0 in natu ral science. These are compared with national scores 18.4 for English; 17.1 for math; 17.2 for sodal studies and 21.2 for natu ral sdence. BCHS students who had completed a basic core curricu lum that included four years of English and three years of mathematics, social studies and natural sdences'scored signifi cantly higher than those who had n o t Those completing the core courses, during the past year, scored a composite rating of 20.9;versus a score of 16.7 for those who had not completed the core Btudy group nationally, r At BCHS those figures increased substantially, with a composite score of 24.0 for students com pleting their studies last'year, versus a score 19.3for those who had not. u ' The items -covered included questions on biology, chemistry, physics and physical sciences. A total of is students who had contpleted the core group were tested and 31 who had not completed i t When each student took the test, he was asked to rate vari ous aspects of their local high school. At BCHS the highest areas of satisfaction as regis tered by the students were class room instruction (72 percent satisfied - six percent dissatis fied); grading practices (64 per cent satisfied, eight percent dissatisfied) and the number and kinds of tests given (58 percent satisfied versus^ two percent dissatisfied). ' The highest levels of student dissatisfaction were registered by the library learning center, with 32 percent ofthe students satisfied and 36 percent dissat isfied; guidance services, 40 percent satisfied bnd 28 percent dissatisfied); career education and planning (28 percent satis fied and 34 percent dissatisfied) and the variety of courses of fered, (44 percent satisfied and 36 percent dissatisfied). The ACT. test's four areas included 75 items on English Usage, includingmeasurements for the students ability to ana lyze writing of the type encoun tered in many college courses. The math test covered 40 items that measures the students' ability to reason mathematically and emphasizes problems simi lar to those the student will get in college. The social studies test has 52 items and tests the stu dents’ ability to read, analyze and evaluate social studies materials. A majority of the questions are based on reading passages in the test and about a third of the questions are on general background or informa tion, included in the test are questions on history, govern ment, economics anr. sociology/ anthropology and psychology. The natural sder ees part of the test measures tiie students ability to read and evaluate materials from the natural sd- encesand included both reading and information types of tests and is based on Uw content usually taught in basic natural sciences courses in high school. 20 - B C H S s t u d e n t s d o b e t t e r t h a n n a t i o n a l A .
