A WMCE delegation of stu dents asked the Board to recon sider the hike in registration fees; the board offered all six of Mon tana’s university unit. presidents a comic opera by j contracts at the same salaries now received; and in a third action authorized the issuance and sale of more than two million dollars :in bonds for the several units. The WMCE student delegation Connty Meetings For Fire Control A series of fire control meetings will be held in Beaverhead county in the near future, according to Ed Atkins, Beaverhead County agent. The purposes of these meetings will b e ' to acquaint people with methods of fire control and pre vention, instruct them in effective use of fire control equipment, and discuss rural fire crew coordina tion within the county. In addition to the rural fire equipment, which is stationed at Lima, Jackson and Wisdom, the Bureau of Land Management plans to place sixteen tool caches at various ranches. Later in the season it is planned that the county will place 16 additional tool caches at strategic locations throughout the county. Two films dealing with fire fighting will be shown at the meetings and instruction will be given in use of hand tools, i Assisting with the meetings will be Lloyd Thomas, Rural Fire Warden, Dick Bauman, Bureau of Land Management Fire Control Officer, Bruce Watters, Vigilante Electric, Forest Service personnel, and Ed Atkins. The dates and locations o f the. meetings are.as follows: Monday, May 21, 7 p.m., Lima school house; Tuesday, May 22, 8 p.m., Armstead school house; Thursday, May 24, 8 p.m., Dillon court house; Friday, May 25, 8 p.m., Glen, Hall; Saturday, May 26, 8 p.m., Wisdom, Community hall; Saturday, June 2, 8, p.m., Jackson, Diamond Bar Inn. Any, one interested is invited. Coffee and donuts will be served. asked , for restoration of the old fee schedule of $20 instead of the $40 recently set by thè board. Board members reminded dele gates that there is at present a “hardship” clause which permits the president of the college to waive regular enrollment fees where necessary. The delegates had said that the hike in fees will work a consider able hardship on students. No ac tion was taken on the student request. W e s t e r n College’s President Rush Jordan who submitted a separation plan at last month’s meeting of the board, was tend ered a contract renewal at his present $9,500 yearly salary, along with the heads of the other five units.. Jordan’s salary was lowest of the six. In making the contract renewal to all six presidents, the board failed to comment on Jor dan’s action at the previous meet ing. It appears that if Jordan re- cides to accept the renewed offer he will be welcomed back with his status unchanged—at least for the present. The Board’s offer gives the presidents 15 days in which to accept the contract. In the third important action i the State Board • of Education Monday authorized the issuance and sale .of more than two million dollars in bonds for several of the University of Montana units. This included sale of $1,600,000 in rev enue bonds for construction of a Health and Physical Education Building at Montana State Col lege, Bozeman; $330,000 for a new residence hall at Eastern Montana Billings; $200,000 for field ouse equipment at the univer sity.

Taxes becoming delin quent after May 31 will be sub ject to penalty and interest char ges. ' - Since history began, I guess, the routine lives of sheep and then- babies have not changed much. A wooly lamb, toy size, hopping be side his mother, full of antics and p l a y e x e r t s an indescribable charm on both children and grown-ups. This is especially true of people who have always lived in large cities where such animals are seldom seen. If it happens that the ewes and lambs are in a field close to a suburban high way it is surprising how many people stop and stay to look and exclaim. It happened many times times with us last winter down in the Imperial Valley. A school bus, loaded with small children, their teacher and driver, made us such a visit. The teacher arranged the trip as a holiday outing and for the kids it was (Continued on nage 8) Urgent Need for New Alumni Cup at-BCHS There is no place for additional names on the “Alumni Cup” at the high school and former, stu dents are asked to rally ’round with donations to provide a new one — in time for this. year’s presentation. Containers have been placed at the‘ Mitchell and Gosman drug stores for collections. The present “Alumni Cup” was first inscribed with a student’s name 26 years ago. Each year the faculty chooses the graduate who in their opinion best exemplifies the attributes of Service, Leader ship, Character and Scholarship. The cup becomes his or her prop erty for the year until a successor is named. Now the space forsjhe names is filled and the time ap proaches for the new award. All alumni of the school are asked to contribute to the fund for the new cup so that this traditional award can be continued. Names now inscribed on the cup are as follows: Class of 1930, Cora Anderson; (Continued on page 8) Janet Lee Johnson, Loren. H.

Spruce Budworm Campaign Is In Early Stage The campaign;— not the poli tical fracas in the fall — but the Beaverhead Forest’s all-out strike against the spruce budworm is: progressing satisfactorily at this , stage, according to W. E. Fry, for- ’ est supervisor. He pointed out, however, that much preliminary work has to be done before the target date in late June. • Aerial reconnaisance over the Pioneers and the east slope of the Tobacco Roots’ carried out Sun day by Frank T. Bailey, assistant forest supervisor, and Ron Schulz, district ranger at Ennis, furthered: the job of demarcation of areas to to be sprayed. The \importance of the 300,000 acre project is not underestimated: by professional foresters, who/ point' out that insects, in 1952,: killed in this county seven times as. touch .timber' as fire. Nine-, tenths of the loss occurred in; western, and Alaskan forests, and reached the staggering total, na-; tion-wide, of 5 billion board feet of sawtimber. The Beaverhead’s stake in the • current program amounts to saving some 2 billion board feet of'timber, according-to; Mr. Fry. . - Forest officials reiterate'that the DDT mixture to be used in' the spraying operation bears not the slightest threat to- either wild life or domestic animals. This chemical, by its highly selective action in'destroying only insects; may actually prove a boon to livestock and wildlife generally, by reducing the numbers of deer fles and allied pests in the sprayed areas. . , THE W EEK’S WEATHER • Showers during most of thé week have given way since Mon day to bright weather in the Dil lon area. Hills and vales are green, lanes are muddy and fish ermen are restless. There’s, no doubt about it, Spring is here. At 1:15 this afternoon the thermo meter at” the Union Pacific sta tion across the way registered a bland 74. . For the week through Tuesday, the weather records of L. S.
