Wedding in Calif.
Mr. and Mrs. Matt Kidroski,
former Beach residents, celebrated
their golden wedding anniversary
on January 9th in Los Angeles,
Calif. A reception for fifty guests
was held at the home of their
daughter, Mrs. Kim Randall of
4623 W. 21st St., Los Angeles.
Included among the guests were
many Beach and Wibaux people:
Mr. and Mrs. H. Bushman, Ione
Chappell Trone, Elizabeth Fox
Jones, Mr. and Mrs. Vincent Wicka,
Mr. and Mrs. Felix W2eka, Robert
Wicka, Mr. and Mrs. Russell Duni-
Ban, Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Moore,
Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Hoffman, and
Mrs. Helen Wicka Beebe.
All the decorations were carried
out in gold colors, including the

ments were served to the guests
buffet style.
Many beautiful gifts were receiv-
ed by the happy couple.
Mr. and Mrs. Kidroski were early
Beach pioneers, coming to Beach

3½ miles south of Beach. They
lived there for many years and will

TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE
With the exception of a high
rind Monday night, the ,past week's
weather has continued balmy and
spring-like. It thaws every day
under the strong rays of Old Sol,
and everyone is rejoicing over
the fact that the winter season
is growing shorter and the days
are growing longer.
• FIRST BUILT ON SCHEDULE AS ONE UNIT
NATRIUM, W. VA.--In ~this section noted for its wealth of natural
resources, a new chlorine plant--the largest ever built as a single
unit East of the Mississippi River--was constructed on schedule with
Defense Plant Cort~)ration funds and has been in operation for more
5h~n two months. The announcement was made recently by Columbia
Chemical Division of Pittsburgh Plate Glass Company. Other la,'ge
plants East of the Mississippi were expanded over a period of time
rather than having been designed as a single unit. In addition to
manufacturing liquid chlorine, used for hundreds of industrial appli-
cations for war materiel, the plant also produce~ caustic soda as a
co-product. " ....................
Governor Moses Outlines
State Post.War Program
Governor John Moses laid a
broad and comprehensive statewide
plan for the post-war construction
period before the County Com-
missioners' Association of North
Dakota at the annual convention
held in Fargo last week.
While he stressed the point that
industry must step in and assume
first place in any large scale post-
war planning, he said there is a
job for government to do.
He cited as two major govern-
mental activities, the development
of the Missouri river basin and a
great highway building program.
For the direct help to soldiers he
said the North Dakota legislature
has already provided many defin-
ite appropriations, which are and
will be utilized to help the return-
ing soldier in getting re-established
in civilian life.
Governor Moses said he will in-
sist that federal agencies now mak-
ing extensive plans for the develop-
ment of the whole Missouri river
basin get together on an ultimate
"We cannot discuss or plan for
purchase or the financing, whether
it ge by bond issues or otherwise,
until these national measures are
enacted into law and we know
what they require," he said. "But
we must have this in mind as we
plan for the post-war years."
He discussed the probable indus-
trial development that may come
from the research work now being
carried on by the research founda-
tion set up by the last legislature
with an appropriation of $40,000.
Governor Moses predicts a great
industrial development, particularly
in the processing of lignite, ben-
tonite, clays and other minerals
and also foresees a big expansion
in the processing of agricultural
resources.
"While Marquis deMores who es-
tablished a packing plant at Me-
dora was somewhat ahead of the
development, he was right in be-
lieving the meat packing industry
would one day move westward,"
said the governor. "We have ira-
THREE DOUBLE HOLIDAYS

4th War Loan
Drive Began
January 18th
The government scheduled its
fourth war loan drive to start
January 18, and it should have
been greeted with warm enthus-
iasm by the people. It is an op-
portunity for them to improve their
financial situation, and it helps
the country in the time of greatest
emergency and peril that has ever
been confronted.
As we read about the vast ex-
tent of our war effort, how it is
spreading over all quarters of the
earth, of the enormous develop-
merits needed to carry this war
into these remote places, it is not
surprising that the war cost runs
up so heavily into the billions.
When we have to turn out a
stream of new planes to take the
~lace of those that have been de-
stroyed, when it becomes necessary
to build railroads and roads across
desolate places far removed from
modern progress, and do countless
more things never before attempt-
ed, it takes an amount of money
almost inconceivable in .its total.
It is up to the people to provide
tni8 money.
The American people as a whole
are earning and receiving amounts
of money far in excess of any-
thing they got in former years.

Outlook Shows
Enough Essentials
In Coming Year
There will be enough of essential
foods and supplies for everyone in
1944, though changes of quality,
quantity and variety may be ex-
pected, particularly in such things
as clothing, according l~o the 1944
Wartime Family Living Outlook
recently prepared by Florence P.
Day, NDAC Extension Service
home management specialist.
North Dakota's Victory Garden
goal for 1944 is a 10 percent in-
crease in number of gardens and a
25 percent increase in production.
Gardeners should try to correct
mistakes made last year in selec-
tion and quantities of varieties
raised.
While 3-4 of farm families over
the nation produced some of their
pork in 1943, only 17 percent pro-
duced some of their home beef
supply. The 1944 consumption of
meat may be slightly lower than
the 1943 figure of 129 .pounds per
person.
Last year North Dakota showed
greater increase in number of
chickens raised than any other
state. Poultry houses were over-
crowded. Though 30 percent more
chickens were housed, only 9 percent
more eggs were produced. Closer
catlllng and reducing of laying
flocks is recommended.
Civilians will get less manufact-
ured dairy products, such as but-
ter, cheese, and evaporated milk,
than last year.
Preventing food waste in the
home will help save part of the
20 to 30 percent of the country's
food supply now lost between hax-
vest and the garbage pail. Import-
ant sources of food waste occm
in meal planning, purchasing, stor-
age and preparation of food, and
waste at the table.
Scarcity of essential materials
and shortage of manpower will
determlr~e production of civilian
consumer goods. While the war
goes on, simplification is the order
of the day, to conserve materials,
manpower and machines.
Increased supplies of children's
clothing and work clothes will tm
available, as well as of wool
material. Use of synthetic rub-
ber will make an increa~ of Bar-
merits containing elastic fabric
possible. Cotton goods will be
somewhat limited, but there will
be enough rayon for all essential
civilian needs, according to the
report.
Local Resident
Honored by
Insurance Fire
Robert T. Coutts, district mana-
ger for the Provident Life Insur-
ance company, living in Be~ch and
supervising the Dickinson agency,
was named "Man of the Year" for
1943 at the annual agency meeting
in Bismarck on January 13th and
14th, entitling him to have his
picture hung on the "Wall of
Fame" in the home office.
Announcement of the award, the
highest honor the company can
bestow upon a representative, was
made by president F. L. Conklln.
The citation was based upon the
following quality factors:
1. High personal paid production.
2. High agency paid production.
3. Excellent persistaney, denoting
quality underwriting. 4. The fact
that he has been outstandingly
successful in developing full time
men and getting them into pro-
duction, and also in working un-
selfishly with new men in other
territories. 5. His contribution of
ideas to the entire agency force and
willingness to share his ideas with
others. 6. His aggressiveness in
adopting new plans. 7. Maintain-
ing standings in the Leaders Club,
the Million Dollar Agency Club,
and the App-a-week Club, for 7
years.
Forty-five agency representatives
from five states attended the meet-
ing, which was in charge of vice-
president J. Dickman.
