Dakota Datebook
Arizona has the Grand Canyon,
Colorado has the Rocky Mountains,
but the Ward County Independent re-
ported that North Dakota has the r
oyal g urge. The paper wasn't talk-
ing about a geographic •feature, but
rather, a person. That person was
Queen Marie of Romania, and she
visited North Dakota on Nov. 1
,1926.
The Independent reported that
visitors of the q ueen brought food,
including homemade rolls, "which
reports say she stowed away without
butter," and five mallards. The Inde-
pendent continued, "The good queen
of Romania just naturally gorged
herself, right out where everyone
could see her do it, and if this is not
evidence of a royal gorge, then North
Dakotans don't know natural or un-
natural wonders when they see
them."
The train darted through North
Dakota in one day on its way to the
W est C east, but Queen Marie made
it a point to stop at various intervals
to allow locals on board. The queen
was extremely interested in the farm-
ing conditions and techniques that
might be used in developing her own
country's agriculture. She also
showed much interest for the home-
makers, and was eager to learn all
she could from these common peo-
ple.
While most of her trip concen-
trated on the farmers of North
Dakota, Queen Marie did make spe-
cial appearances in Mandan, Dickin-
!
son and Medora. In Mandan, Queen
Marie stopped to meet with the
Sioux Indians, who honored her with
a headdress and welcomed her into
their tribe.
The queen's next visit was Dick-
inson. There, she left the train
dressed in traditional costume to pay
tribute to the Romanian people who
settled there. The queen then pro-
ceeded on to Medora. There, a rodeo
was held in honor of the queen. She
and her children Princess Ileana and
Prince Nicholas dressed in riding
garb and rode in the rodeo.
The people of North Dakota must
have made quite an impression on
the queen, for at the end of this one-
day visit to the state, the queen said,
"It has been one of the happiest days
of my life."

Grace Church host
By ,lane Cook
Reporter
Grace Church of Beach hosted the
49th Annual Western Conference on
Tuesday and Wednesday, Oct. 24 and
25.
Usually held in Billings, Mont.,
the conference is also held in differ-
ent churches on occasion. This year
Grace Church offered its facilities.
Western Conference members con-
sist of pastors and lay delegates.
The conferences started in 1968
with different themes each time.
"This year's theme was 'Passing
the Baton,' standing for the passing
of the Gospel on to others," Grace
Church Pastor Ben Baker explained.
Churches from North Dakota,
Wyoming, Montana and Idaho are
affiliated with the conference. Tues-
day evening also included an ordi-
nation of one of its members.
In charge of the event this year
was Pastor Steve Struts of Faith
Evangelical Church of Billings,
Mont.
"Thirty churches connect with
each other once a year to do annual
ministry business, inspire each other
in their Christi an faith, and sharpen
their ministry skills," Struts said.
"The community of Beach and Grace
Church h as welcomed us with such
warm hospitality. We really appreci-
ated all they've done."

Realities and myths about North Dakota newspapers
As a trade association for the 90 North Dakota daily and weekly
!i
newspapers, we want to address in simple language the truth about
newspapers in North Dakota.
Your local newspaper is here for the long run. Some pundits and so-
called experts are already writing the obituary for the newspaper industry. We say:
Not so fast. Newspapers march on not only as news leaders and innovators, but as
stalwart businesses in commtinities they serve, contributing to the well-being of
Main Street and North Dakota.
• Newspapers remain a dominant media source in North Dakota.
Newspapers in this state have an estimated readership of more than 500,000, plus a
growing on-line audience. 9 out of 10 North Dakotans read their local newspaper.
Nationwide, more tfian 104 million adults read a newspaper every day, except on
on Sunday when readership grows to 115 million. That's more people than watch
the Super Bowl (94 million), American Idol (23 million), or the evening news
(65 million).
• The biggest reason newspapers are read is because you rely on
your newspaper to know what's happening in your community.
Obituaries, weddings, high school sports, city hall, babies, arrests, yard sales, church
meetings, little league baseball, community events, engagements, town business,
govermnent public notices, even the ads ... the list goes on and on. Your newspaper
connects you with your community. No other medium provides what newspapers
provide. (Ever see obituaries on TV?)
It's a myth that the Internet and other sources will provide news if
North Dakota newspapers aren't here to do the job.
The reality is that newspapers make a larger investment in newsgathering than any
other medium. In fact, most of the news you get from other media originated with
reporting done by newspapers. Sometimes broadcasters read the news directly from
the newspaper!
This is a time when newspapers are transforming. The industry is
adapting and moving forward. We look forward to the future! We
look forward to providing news, information and advertising that
help connect and build the communities we serve.
