No Sunday Shows In response to the requests of a number of the ladies of the church the management of The Play House has arranged to change the dates of the picture shows and roller skating in order not to conflict with the regular services of the church. It is thought that this will serve the best interests of the community and that the move wil meet with the approval of the majority. hile it is impossible to always arrange dates so as not to con- flict, it has always been the poli- cy of the amusement Company to avoid opposition to any permant- ly established institution as far as possible. Since regular chtirch services have been started and their permanency seems to be as- sured and in view of the fact Sunday is the day which by right belongs to this most important of institutions the Play House will discontinue its Sunday attrac- tions. The dates will therefore be advanced just one day and starting. Wednesday, March 14th the regular shows will *be given on Wednesday and Saturday ev- enings and skating sessions on Thursday and Friday evenings. For the benefit of those employ- ed in the stores the Saturday show will start at 8:15, doors op- en at 7:45. While it cannot be said that these dates do not con- flict with those of any establish- ed organization they are best a- vai able at the preAent time. Let everyb( dy go to church on Sun- day eight and enjoy the oiiTture shows the more.

To not having a say as to the naming of the officers cer- tainly can be your only excuse. Like you, Bill, we would have liked- to put in a word, but why such a fuss now that it la all ov- er. Two years from now Bill, we'll have our chance. Come on and be a sport, forget your trou- bles for the present and get out and boost Carter County, now a reality, and a county that is go- ing to stand the test of the high- er courts and become a credit to the state of Montana. It has been said Bill; - that in looking up John Oliver's ancestors, the name O'Shaughnessy appears down on the list, so if this can be proven, when a vacancy occurs, you may be asked to qualify for a county job.
