"The success of our sales de-
pends upon the local buyers
largely," said Art Schelldorf,
secretary of the group, "and we
are especially interested in hav-
ing them come i~ to the show."
This will give them an opportun-
ity to see how their herds com-
pare. "The local breeders are
continually improving their
herds ~by bringing in high-priced
sires and dams and this in turn
helps ranchers of Crook and ad-
jacent counties in breeding qual-
ity feeder cattle."
The association plans a meet-
ing here the latter part of Feb-
ruary at Which time plans for
the sale will be completed and
all pedigrees ~or the catalogue
turned in. These catalogues will
,be ready the latter part of March
and may be secured by writing
to Art ,Schelldorf at Sundance,
secretary of the Northeastern
Wyoming Hereford Association.
The association now numbers 13
of the-leading purebred ~breeders
of this section as members.

SONS HOME FROM
SERVICE---PLAN
FAMILY REUNION
LSunday will be a day of ,general
rejoicing at the H. A. Stockton
home near Aladdin if pla~s for
a family reunion are fulfilled.
Pet. Charles Stockton who is
taking training at Fort Bliss,
'Texas, was in Sundance Tuesday
with his father and sister Bessie.
Juanita Walters, who works at
the shipyards at Portland and an-
other daughter of the Stocktons,
is expected home too.
'They expect another son, SISgt..
James Stockton, home this week
after~two years overseas. He has
bee*n in Africa, ~icily, Italy, Cor-
sica and lately has been serving
in France. Just recently he had
written home after passing his
third birthday and Christmas ov-
erseas at that time he thought
the prospects for a return home
very gloomy.
To be home Wednesday to com-
plete the family reunion is a step-
son, Norman L. Proffitt, master
.mechanic, who has been station-
ed in the ~outh Pacific for over
two years. "There is one tht~g
I always think of Just before we
go into action~how we used to
do things at home and try to
picture my brothers and sisters
all together enjoying ourselves as
we used to do a short time ~go.

have been that way," he wrote
in November now those scenes
will come to life for him and the
others of the family.

Newcastle five. The visitors made
the first ,basket but were ,behind

Last Quarter Rally
Makes Sturgis Victor
The previous Friday the Stur-
gis quintet defeated the Bulldogs
in a game which seemed assured
to Sundance until the last quar-
ter. The Bulldogs led the first
three quarters but Sturgis then
rallied to score 17 points while
holding Sundance to 2 points to
overcome a 22-16 Sundance lead.
The final score stood 33 to 24 in

ARMY NEEDS WOMEN
FOR MEDICAL CORPS
On February 2 Sgt. Helen Gal-
loway and Cpl. Zigmund Chwirka
from the Casper Recruiting office
will be in .Sundance to interview
women for service with the Wom-
en's Army Corps. They will be
at the post office that day.
At the present time emphasis
is being placed on the urgent
need for many more Medical Tech-
nicians to serve in the army hos-
pitals. Many women possess the
qualifications which will enable
them to enter this type of work
at once; while those who are in-
experienced will be trained in one
of the Army medical, schools.
Two years of high school is all
that is now ~ecessary for other-
wise qualified women to be eli-
gible for attendance to these
medical or surgical technician
schools. Says Lt. John R. Knurl-
sen, head of WAC recruiting in
Wyoming, "The army recognizes
that the num,ber of years in
school does not always give a true
picture of .a person's ability. Ex-
tenuattn,g circumstances some-
times require some very i~telli-
gent people to quit school before
,graduation."
Cpl. Leslie Raber
Killed In Crash
Final rites were held Friday
from the Methodist church in
Belle Fourche for Cpl. Leslie Ra-
her, 19, who was killed while on

the Pine Slope cemetery.

ril 18, 1925, the son of the for-
mer Mr. and Mrs. Sam Raber,
,both of whom died while he was
still a child. He grew up in the
home of Mr. and Mrs. Otto
Schaefer at Belle Fourche, at-
tended schools there and gradu,
ated with the class of ,43. The
following August he joined the
army air force.
It was while on a routine flight
of an army bomber plane that
he, and eight others, were killed
near Miuroc, California, a week
ago ~aturday. Col. W. A. MaX-
well, the field's commanding of-
ficer, stated that the plane
crashed In a sleet and snow
storm when returning to base
from a com~bat training flight.
Surviving are one sister, Mrs.
Maxine Hardy, and one ~brother,
Kenneth Raber, both of Belie
Fourche.
Leo L. Grass Is
Killed In Action
That Pet. Leo Lloyd Grass was
killed in action recc~ntly his par-
ents, Mr. and Mrs. John E. Grass
who live in the Mona vicinity,
were notified last Tuesday.

having been inducted March 27,
1944. He took training as a
paratrooper at Fort Benning, Ga.
this past summer after complet-

Born at ~ioux City, Iowa on
November 8, 1924, the youth
moved to Crook county a number
of years ago with his parents
who are now located on one of
the Ripley places east of Mona.

as he and his parents used to play
for dances around the neighbor-
hood. He worked for a time at
the Kenneth McGillivray ranch
and for Charley Viergutz before
entering service.
