While the Brotherhood session was being held the ladies had an auxiliary meeting. E. R. Hilger of the Dillon Creamery told Rotarians at their meeting last Wednesday of the important part the dairy industry is playing in the national dpfense effort and the aid-to-Britain pro gram. Speaking on the topic of “Milk and Vitamins,” he told his listeners that one of'the principal food values of milk is that it con tains the vitamins A, B-l, and G, all important to health. The farmer last year realized his largest cash income from dairy products he sold, Mr. Hilger said. A total of three and one- half billion dollars was the indus try’s contribution to the total farm income throughout the nation. Dairy products now being ship ped to Britain from the United States include cheese, dried milk and canned milk, though under conditions existing it is now im possible to ship products requir ing refrigeration such as butter. Mr. Hilger is chairman of the Rotary club’s vocational commit tee.

Saturday a slight increase was noted and on Sunday, though a chill wind blew, a maximum of 28 above was reg istered.

DILLON MARKSMEN “GUESTS” AT JACKSON TURKEY DINNER Irvine & Cottom Back from Texas Potato Harvest Boreal breezes that sent mer- cury and householders to the basement last week brought fuel problems to a lot of Dillon people, but it was a cold weath er problem of another sort that Street Commissioner Elza Pat rick grappled with—and licked. While carrying on street- sanding operations throughout the town, observing the over- coated citizenry leaning against the icy blasts, the commissioner was bothered with the thought of Dillon youngsters in the north end of town having to go so far to the skating rink. For the weather was conducive to thoughts of ice—and ice to skating, etc. The commissioner soon trans lated this “bother” into action. He interviewed Hiz’zoner, and the various members of the parks and playgrounds commit tee, who gave attentive ear and approval. Then he started looking for likely skating rink sites and couldn’t get past the vacant half-block adjacent to the court house on Bannack street between Pacific and Washington.' There was the fire hydrant; there were the new lights; and a city map (Continued on page 8) W. L.
