Tis the season... This jolly elf, in the window of The Dilmart, helps set the scene forthe Christmas shopping season which began officially Friday, following Thanksgiving. Most Dillon stores reported a busy Friday and Saturday as early bird shoppers started working on their shopping lists. / H a n g - g l i d i n g f l y - i n g a i n s n o t i c e The annual Bachelor Moun tain Fly-in near Grant has achieved national prominence, as evidenced by an article in the November issue of “Hang Glid ing.\ The article, by author Monte Elliott of Horse Prairie, high lights the annual event, with special emphasis on Montana’s centennial celebration. Highlighting the record breaking, 115-mile flight of Spokane hang-glider Larry Strom; the article gives promi nence to the Beaverhead County event, which began in 1983 with just three pilots/makingthe first hang-glide flights ever from Bachelor Mountain. Threeyearsagothehang-glid- ers began departing from EUis Mountain. Not just one, but five flights beat the previous record of 72 miles. That flight, by Gregg Brauch, was regularly beaten this year, including a 112 mile flight by Brauch himself. The route the pilots generally followed travelednorth from the Grant area toward Dillon, and then along Highway 41 to Twin Bridges and, with luck, to the Tobacco Root Mountains. The competition drew flyers from seven states,includingTen- nessee, Maryland and Minne sota. In addition, fliers from Germany and Canada also showed up for the annual con test. Elliott, in his article, predicts even stiffer competition in the future as the pilots become more acquainted with the area and routes. . “Hang Gliding” is a nation ally circulated magazine special izing in hang-gliding news and articles. Christmas bells... Season decorations greet holiday shoppers in downtown Dillon. S t a t e F a r m B u r e a u n a m e s o f f i c e r s ( .

Montana 683-2308 I stood in the Billings airport holding the empty handle of a pay phone. Beside me stood an East Indian man. He looked confused. ‘ “How do I call on this phone?” he asked politely in accented English. I explained that he should call the operator, she’d dial the number and tell him how much to chink in the slot. “How much money will it take?” he asked. He showed me the number. The area code was 604. I asked him where that was. British Columbia. I told him it would take four or five dollars worth of quarters. ‘ “Will these work?” he asked, showin' me a handful of Canadian loonies. My own phone went dead. I tried to explain to him that Canadian money wouldn’t work in U.S. phones and the reason it cost so much was he was a long way from British Columbia “Oh, no! My brother is picking me up and he saidit was only onehalf-hour from the airport” “Where does your brother live?\ “Port Coquitlam.” I concluded that was a good 700 miles by Cessna 150, and if his brother was driving he wouldn’t get here ‘til day after tomorrow. I told him it took Lewis and Clark eight months to make the trip and they had two keelboats, six canoes and an Indian guide! He didn’t grasp my attempt at humor. “Am I in America?” he asked. We started at the beginning and finally con cluded he was supposed to be in Bellingham, Washington, but his travel agent in London, England had misunderstood his destination. We rushed to the Northwest airline counter where the ticket agent agreed he was in Bill ings, alright! Percy, the weary traveler’s name, was given a series of flights which would get him within walkin’ distance of his brother. Off he rushed like a dyin’ duck ih a hailstorm! Percy is back home in England now. He wrote, “On my return trip I lost one baggage at Heathrow Airport. TWA has still not found it. All these problems has spoilt my holiday. However, the Good Lord has brought me home safely.” A Well, Percy, if ib’s any consolaition, I've been lost in Billings a time or two myBeif!
