Forest Service buys land in the Crazies Lewis E. “Gene\ Hawkes, Supervisor of the Gallatin National Forest, has announced that the Forest Service has purchased 4,575 acres of land in the Crazy Mountains. The land is in an intermingled, checkerboard ownership area in the Gallatin National Forest, about 40 miles north of Livingston and about 20 miles cast of Wilsall. “This consolidation of land ownership in the Crazy Mountains portion of the Gallatin National Forest will greatly facilitate land-use planning and resource management, Hawkes said. “All of the lands purchased are surrounded by adjoining National Forest lands,” he explained. “These new National Forest lands will be studied under the unit planning process to determine their best use for the future. The purchase of these lands permits greater management perrogatives on the adjoining public lands.\ The land was purchased by the Forest Service for 6300,000 from the Nature Conservancy of Arlington, Va. Hawkes explained that the Forest Service had an option to purchase the land from Venture Limited, a Colorado-busad land developm ent organization, but the option for purchase expired before Federal funds were made available for the purchase. IN JULY the Nature Conservancy purchased the land with the under standing it would be sold to the Forest Service when Federal funds became available. Ken Margolis, Portland, Oregon, Regional representative for the Nature Conservancy, negotiated the purchase of the land from Venture Limited and resale to the Forest Service. Hawkes pointed out the Forest Service purchased the land at about 665 an acre. The Crazy Mountains range consists of rolling grass and juniper-covered foot hills with elevations of 4,000 to 5,000 feet. Rugged peaks rise to over 11,000 feet. Several peaks exceed 11,000 feet with rocky, knife-edge connecting ridges about 10,000 feet. Hawkes said that the purchased land includes 200 acres of commercial forest land, 550 noncommercial forest land and 3,800 acres of nonforested area. (Nonforcsted areas include both rocky areas and alpine meadows.) Lower elevations are grazed as summer range. Logging of the forested areas has been very limited. Access into the interior is limited to foot trails. Stream bottoms vary from steep-walled canyons to broad meadows and there are a number of mountain lakes in the many glacial cirquds. Recreational use includes dispersed- type uses such as mountain hiking, rock climbing, camping, fishing, photography, and hunting. Streams and lakes provide good trout fishing. Big game wildlife in the area include deer, elk, and mountain goat. Judge forum here Jan. 13 Governor Thomas L. Judge has planned a public forum Jan. 13 in Big Timber. The forum is one of a scries scheduled throughout the state. Commenting on the program. Judge said “I want to invite all the people living in the vicinity to attend the forum and voice, their thoughts, concerns and suggestions for state government. “The forums are very important to my administration because they give me a chance to hear what the people are thin)\*’«*. We have held forums throughout the state, and thre hese meetings with local people, we arc trying to mal government more responsive.\ C nembers of Judge’s administration will be alter the forum. The t..ne and place of the meeting have not yet been announced. Warning devices save lives HELENA—State Fire Mar shall Bill Penttila says of 3,000 fires and explosions this year, 650 of these fires will occur in the home. Even though only 22 per cent of the fires occur in homes, all of the deaths this year were a result of fire in the home (with the exception of one vehicle fire death). “Many of these deaths are preventable by simply prop erly installing early warning smoke detection in t h e home.”, says Penttila. The State Fire Marshall office has implemented a program of issuing permits for the sale, licenses and certificates of registration for the maintenance and installa tion of home alarm systems as one of the programs given to the Fire Marshal Bureau by the last Legislature. The law was a result of an effort by the Montana Fire Chiefs Association to put some controls on the sale, distribution, and installation of home fire alarm systems. The chiefs claim that the home owner consumers were being sold material that did not perform properly and, in many instances, was not installed properly. “Poor in stallation of houMhold alarms has been brought to our attention.”, says the Fire Marshal. “Therefore, we ask all home owners who presently have early warning detection to carefully read the following instructions; and for those who do not have early warning detection, we urge that they give this matter serious consideration. At any rate, do not leave children at home unattended during the holiday season. This would apply to the elderly and physically handicapped people as well.” Driver hired, bus specs drawn up A Sweet Grass County High School board committee last week hired a replacement bus driver for the Howie Route and drew up specifica tions for a replacement school bus at a special meeting. Committee member Jim Esp, who is head of the school board, says the board inter viewed prospective candi dates for the route, now being driven by the Rev. William Wohlers, who plans to leave at the end of the year. Esp said Dennis Wilson was selected as r e p l a c e m e n t driver. The committee was given the authority to hire a driver at the board meeting Dec. 11. In other business, commit tee m embers agreed to recommend to the board that the district purchase a 66 passenger bus, fitted with . seating for 60 persons. As planned, the new bus would be used on the Grey Cliff route when it arrives. The bus now being used for Grey Cliff would be trans ferred to the Otter Creek route, and the present Otter Creek bus would be retired. Esp said the committee will recommend the changes be cause the new bus will have a greater seating capacity, and because of anticipated in creases in the number of students on the Grey Cliff route. Driver has attack while on interstate A Billings truck driver, who had a heart attack while driving his rig on Interstate 90 near Grey Cliff Sunday afternoon, was reported in good condition Monday at St. Vincent's Hospital. Don Beal, who was driving a Consolidated Freighlways truek west on 1-90, between Grey Cliff and the rest area, told authorities he felt a strong pain in his chest, and started to black out. He was able to pull the truck to the side of the road and call for help Using his citizens band radio before passing out. A nearby trucker stopped to offer assistance, and to call for an ambulance. Later others helped move the semi from the interstate to Big Timber. Beal was taken by the Sweet Grass County Ambu lance to St. Vincent’s. The incident happened about 3:15 p.m. Mrs. Green wins for fleece Carolyn Green took third place for three-eights com mercial fleece at the Ameri can Royal Wool Show in Kansas City last month.

C H U C K REIN PERRY ANDER S O N Spike Van Cleve TV ‘spot’ j i to be aired Friday on NBC A National Broadcasting Company special scheduled Friday may be billed as an “hour of tricks and thrills”, but most Sweet Grass County viewers will not be watching to catch a glimpse of star Doug Henning.. .but for the commercials. To be shown “early in the program” will be a three-minute mini-documentary about county rancher Spike VanCIcvc. Mobil Oil Corp., which is sponsoring the hour-long live show, this summer sent a film crew to Sweet Grass County to produce the documentary on VanCleve. The presentation will be in lieu of the firm’s regular commercial message. VanCleve is one of six persons picked by Mobil to show an “upbeat look at America”, and to help Americans feel better. Gordon Bowman, Mobil’s manager of creative programs noted in an interview last summer that for some time, Mobil has presented a series of short documentaries showing where the firm goes to obtain oil. “But, in traveling around the country,” Bowman said, “We found a lot of dissatisfaction because of inflation and Watergate. What we’re doing now has nothing to do with the oil business, except that at the end of each spot there will be a message to the effect that we all use oil products.” “These film spots are designed to make us say ‘Boy, ’I’m sure glad there are still Americans like this.’ ” VAN CLEVE, who says he was notified about the presentation of the documentary, says he \has no idea\ what it will include. \I hope they did a good job,\ he said, noting that the film crew was at his ranch for nearly a week last year. Frirfnw’s srwrint is scheduled 7 p.m. (MST) time on NBC affiliates. Rural residents can watch it on KTVQ, channel 2, Billings, and persons with cable TV may watch it on KTVQ and KUTV, Salt Lake City, cable channel 6. VanCleve says he has been given to understand that the documentary will include no reference to the oil business. “I told them at the start that I wouldn't be much good in that area,\ he says, liis Peugot automobile “uses diesel fuel,\ he says. AN OFFSHOOT of last summer's filming may be the development of a longer, educational documentary film. VanCleve says he understands Mobil is considering using the footage to create a longer series on the persons who j were selected. j “I think it’s designed to show how people live.” > Yet another film may be made by the filming crew that ' was here this past summer. VanCleve is negotiating with the J company for the filming of his story “Cody and Terry”, an j award winning piece about two work horses. The story, j which appeared in the Dude Rancher magazine, was cited in i his nomination for election to the National Cowboy Hall of i Fame, Oklahoma City. ! He has sent the crew the story, and he is waiting for “the script they wrote.” Although the company appears anxious j to produce the film, VanCleve says he wants strict control • over the content. “I want them to do it right, or not to do it at a!L\ 3 to attend KEEP worshops in January Three Big Timber residents will be attending week-long Kellogg Extension Education Project workshops in Janu ary, as two additional KEEP sessions get underway.
