Civic Organizations Asked to Assist in Continuing Program Here A problem has arisen in the continuation of serving of lunch es in the local public schools. The following statement was issued by Supt. O. Kay Moe of the public schools this week: “I recently received materials and particulars from the state de partment at Helena which outline the establishment and operation of a school lunch program. ‘The board of education of this district has made no provision in the budget to carry out a lunch program, nor can it do so and be reimbursed by the Federal Agen cy. Quoting from instructions which I received: ‘We should like to emphasize the fact that school laws in Montana do not empower schools, superintendents, or prin cipals to enter into an agreement of this kind with a federal agen cy. This means that local proj ects must be sponsored by civic, service, and community, or fra ternal organizations. As a school official a superintendent or prin cipal cannot execute the agree ment with this administration, but as an officer or school lunch chairman of a community group, such as P.-T.A., he may sign the agreement. “ Gn the other hand, the sup erintendent may wish to make sponsorship arrangements with (Please Turn to Page 8) LE ROY SCHMIDT Deputy Grand Exalted Ruler of Montana fWest, who will pay his official visit to Dillon Lodge, B.P.O.E., here Friday night. Pheasants Are Wary Birds, Say Hunters — ® ---------------------------------------------- Season on Chinese Pheasants, Hungarian Partridges Opened Sunday The season on Chinese pheas ants and Hungarian partridges opened Sunday, but the birds were too wary for the first-day hunters, very few of whom got more than one. Even the more successful nimrods did not dare claim more than their limit, even after looking around to see if a game warden was present, be cause their brother sportsmen who had been out would have disbe lieved them in no uncertain terms. Chinks and Huns are not so scarce, hunters report, but appar ently they have learned their les son from previous seasons and are extremely wary. They either find excellent hiding places in the brush or take to open fields where they can see the gun- toting human figures a half-mile away. Thus it is evidently fortunate that the hunters have a full month, until Nov. 30, inclusive, to get any of the choice birds. However, to cheer the sports men who are fortunate enough to have sufficient ammunition, re ports have come from Great Falls and other northern points that the Northern flight of ducks is under way. Some have already been reported seen in this vicin ity. Several flights of geese also have gone over Dillon recently. One kept some residents awake a couple of hours early Saturday morning as they circled over the city’s lights.

Casebeer of Butte Is Speaker at Weekly Dinner. ' Dr. H. L. Casebeer of Butte was the speaker at the weekly dinner of the Dillon Rotary club Monday night, giving an interesting and instructive talk on the topic, “Aviation From the Civilian Viewpoint.” “Every community is interested in aviation now, not waiting for the after-war era,” the speaker said. “All may use air mail, in creasingly important in business and social correspondence.” Large airport facilities will place communities which have these at a decided advantage in the post-war world, Dr. Casebeer declared. The helicopter gives great prom ise of future development. The helicopter at its present state of evolution is extremely difficult to fly and few pilots are familiar with its management. It is by no means foolproof, but its pro gressive improvement promises to be rapid. Dr. Casebeer, a practical flyeT with nearly a million miles of flying to his credit, considered the . question raised by so many civil ians, “what chance have I to become a flyer?” Physical fitness must first be established, good eyesight, rea sonable muscular coordination, a safe heart, also are requirements.
