Aft Bannock Centennial Rated Top News Story o f 1962 \100\ was the magic number during the year which concludes to night at midnight. That's the consensus following a check of headlines in the Dillon Daily Tribune and Dillon Examiner over the outgoing 365 days. t Bannack’s Centennial celebra tion, enjoyed by over 7,000 people August 5, headed the 1962 news stories from the Beaverhead. The fabulously-successful event, noting the 100th anniversary of the dis covery of gold at the historic min ing camp, was featured by Gov ernor Tim Babcock’s major ad dress and a festival musical di rected by Stuart Churchill, for mer Fred Waring vocalist and ar ranger. Planned by a relatively small Centennial Committee headed by Elfreda Woodside, the event cap tured the imagination and asis- tance of countless residents in this area. Flood Posed Threat A close runner-up to the Cen tennial story was the Beaverhead River flood of January 21 when the ice-jammed stream went oyer its banks at the Brookside and Shady Nook trailer courts and posed serious threats to ranchers of the lower valley. Thawing temperatures relieved the situation after almost a week of anxiety in which some 70 fam ilies were affected hy the flood- waters which at one time covered almost a 15 mile area. Damage was heavy at the trailer courts but hastily constructed dikes and heroic efforts by volunteer work ers prevented what might have been a major disaster. Lima Centarlans Lima captured a major share of the headlines with two of its resi dents observing 100th birthdays. Jay Brandenburg and Frank Ro mero noted these events and are now well on the way toward their 101st anniversaries. - Melrose also made its conjnbu- tion to the Century Club as Mrs. Oshula (Grandma) Kambich was honored on her 100th birthday. Politics focused its spotlight on Beaverhead County early in De cember with the selection of Rep resentative Frank Hazelbaker as House Speaker and the naming of Senator Jack Brenner as Senate Minority Leader. ' Economically, the picture wasH bright. W ork on the multi-million dollar East Bench Project went ahead of schedule with completion date set for 1964. Locally, the city celebrated a number of new busi ness structures, highlighted by an attractive new M. H. King store and the opening of construction on the ultra-modem State Bank & Trust Company building. The Dillon Jaycees, with their seemingly endless supply of ener gy and community spirit, contin ued to receive plaudits for civic improvement, headed by their elaborate library project. Plane crashes took a tragic toll as Dillon pilot Henry Meine was killed near Cameron and wealthy Texas philanthropist Tom Slick and pilot perished in crackup near Dell.

' County Commissioners adopt plan for equalizing voter loads at Dillon polling places; Montana’s 1963 vehicle license plates, newly-made but retaining their former aluminum background with black lettering, will go on sale Wednesday morning at the County Treasurer’s office, Treas urer Maysel Koenig said today. The plates, again imprinted with \The Treasure State,\ are Mon tana’s first new ones since 1959, with tabs having been used since that time. Purchasing procedure is the same as past years and has been outlined as a reminder by Mrs. Koenig as follows: Your first stop is at the asses sor’s office on the first floor of the courthouse. You must have the blue registration slip marked, \V a l id for Re-registration.” The cost of the license plate, plus the $2 poor tax for those required to pay it, will be determined in the asses sor’s office. You and your money will be separated when you complete the short walk down the hall to the treasurer’s office. You will re ceive the license plates there on payment of the fees. Those out-of-staters whq do not hold re-registration slips, must present their certificate of title or a certified copy of the sales con tract for purchase of the vehicle. For those Montanans who have lost their re-registration slip, things are a bit more blue. They must obtain an affidavit form to make application for a duplicate receipt with the registrar of motor vehicles in Deer Lodge. There is a $1 charge for the latter. The staffs in the assessor’s and treasurer’s office will be ready for business at 8 a.m. Wednesday, Jan. 2.
