On the other hand a more solid and varied economic basis for most towns is desirable. Treasure State has offered every town a challenge. Whether that challenge is accepted depends upon the citizens. If you have an idea for a new industry, small though it may be, apparently Treasure State would like to hear about it. \Treasure State Industries wants to place an industry in every town in the state.\ That was the statement made recently by John D. Mund, public relations director for the new Montana corporation, to members of a service club in Chester. Treasure State Industries' goal is an admirable one, and also one that will be difficult to attain. The Liberty County Times carried in part the following report of Mund's talk: \In traveling the Hi -Line I find more dead windows in these small towns than I find live ones,\ John D. Mund, public relations official for Treasure State Industries told Chester Rotarians. Mund said that the small town that depends entirely upon agricul- tural trade to keep it going is on the way out unless some other source of income is found to put a payroll in the town. Mund pointed to the growth of large-scale farms, the new farming met- hods, and the fact that one man can farm more acres, as indica- tions of things to come in farming of the future. Mund referred to what he termed \corporation farming\ and he said small towns need something to replace the farmers who leave. On the positive side, Mund told Rotarians, Treasure State Industries wants to place an industry in every town in the state. He asked the Rotarians to be on the look -out for some industry that might locate in Chester. He said, \Every time you buy something down town, ask yourself if this item could be made in Chester.\ He said Treasure State Industries is looking for sucll opportunities. It's interesting to keep track of reports from people who sight the mountain sheep planted at Eddy last spring. The Hot Spr- ings Sentinel reported last week that Lyle Fisher and John Argo \came across 11 head of moun- tain sheep in the area where they were hauling out logs\ at Hot Springs. Last week's editorial, \Shame on the Flathead\ drew consider- able favorable comment locally and in Hot Springs and Plains. It also achieved Some results according to the letter reprinted below from Mel Ruder, publish- er of the HUNGRY HORSE NEWS, Columbia Falls: Dear Governor Aronson: I certainly see advantage to Montana in Glacier being the location of the 1960 Governors' Conference. You've done much to see this scheduled. My good friend, \Doc\ Eggen- sperger, publisher of the Sand- ers County Ledger at Thompson Falls feels the Flathead has been dragging its feet in sup- porting the conference. Expect he's right.

Sincerely yours, Mel Ruder, Publisher Hungry Horse News We haven't talked to Clyde Kerr recently but rather im- agine his interest in the 1959 World Series is increasing daily with the White Sox maintaining their league lead. Earlier Clyde reported that every spring when the White Sox start out like a house a fire and are riding brief- ly in first place, his brother in Chicago writes Clyde to start packing his bags for the series. Then about the middle of the summer, when the pale hose have skidded downward in the standings, the Chicago Kerr writes Clyde: \Those bums. I'll never go to see another White Sox game.\ That's been the pattern for several years now, Clyde said this spring. Now, however, with the White Sox still in first at mid -August, this may be the year Clyde can accept his brother's invitation. Dick Davis gave us another sidelight on that big whitefish he landed out of Thompson river the other day. Says Dick: \It was so big, it bent my rod double and Jake Weigand had to help me take him off the hook. I wasn't tall enough to hold the pole up high enough to keep him off the ground and at the same time reach over and take him off the hook.\ Nancy Dolan.
