Once again it is time for the Annual Cleaning at the Valley County Pioneer Museum. We really look forward to this every spring. It kind of lets us know that spring is really here. We will start the cleaning on Saturday, April 26th at 8:30 A.M. and go until we are done. Of course, like always, the more helping hands we get the sooner we are done. We also invite you to join us for refreshments while you are there. We have some very special cookies made by the Senior Citizens Center. Like the ones your mother or grandma used to make for you. Come and enjoy! ~ Friends of the Pioneer Museum

Sprucing up for a Pioneer season

Bring your gloves, rakes, shovels, and lots of energy as a spring clean-up will be held this Saturday and Sunday, April 26 & 27, at Bill Connors Field (the American Legion baseball field). Every player and parent is needed to help at least one of the two days. Work will begin at noon and continue until 5, or later if necessary. Help from community members is also welcome and would be greatly appreciated. Hope to see you at the ballpark!

Travels have gone well this month, and I am thankful for your prayers through this time. Many of you have casually or more seriously asked me in recent months about what my plans are for the rest of the year. In the midst of praying about and considering what God’s plans for me are after this initial two year commitment, I came across a quote by CS Lewis that has encouraged me to rest, refocus, and trust God.

GAFB Flashback Note: It was some 30 or so years ago when Gene Etchart received the following “proposal” on what could be done with the old Glasgow Air Force Base. Some of you may have remember reading it as, if memory serves correct, it was not only circulated out-n-about Glasgow but was also published in the Glasgow Courier when Gladys Silk was editor. As to who wrote this witty piece, we haven’t a clue. Enjoy:

PROPOSALFROM: “Consultants Par Excellence”, Hollywood, CaliforniaRE: The Final Solution!!!

Understanding that you, up there in Montana, have a bad problem with coyotes and that you also have a perplexing problem in finding a use for the massive Glasgow Air Force Base facilities, which, we understand, has given state and federal authorities coniptions for some time, we propose, for your consideration, the following: A group of us are considering investing in a large coyote ranch at GAFB. It is our intention to start rather small, with about one million coyotes. Each coyote averages about four pups a year; skins can be sold for about $35 for the large ones and $25 for the small ones, this will give us four million coyote skins per year to sell at an average price of around $30, making our annual revenue about $120 million per year, this really averages out to about $400,000 per day excluding Sundays and holidays. A good coyote skinner can skin about 130 coyotes a day at a wage of $2.00 per coyote. It will take 100 men to operate the ranch, so the net profit would be over $370,000 per day. Now, the coyotes would feed on rats exclusively. Rats multiply four times as fast as coyotes. We would start a Rat Ranch right adjacent to the Coyote Ranch. If we start with one million rats we will have four rats per coyote each day. The rats will be fed on the carcasses of the coyotes we skin. This will give each rat a quarter of a coyote a day. You can see that the business is a clean operation — self supporting — and really automatic throughout. The coyotes will eat the rats, the rats will eat the coyotes, and we will get the skins. Eventually it is our hope to cross the coyotes with snakes, for they will skin themselves twice a year. This would save the labor costs of skinning as well as give us two skins for one coyote.

If you are interested in our idea we will need more information regarding the best time to hold the roundup to secure our initial coyote herd, who to contact at GAFB regarding the use of facilities, we anticipate utilizing the entire facility and the names of Montana farmers and ranchers that may be interested in a joint-venture and the name of a fence salesman, as we will need several thousand cages at each of the ranches. As you can see, the potential to expand this enterprise is... of course, unlimited. Hoping to hear from you soon, we are, Sincerely, C.P.E. “Consultants for Par Excellence” Hollywood, California

A lawyer dies and goes to Heaven. “There must be some mistake,” the lawyer argues, “I’m too young to die. I’m only fifty five.” “Fifty five?” says Saint Peter. “No, according to out calculations, you’re eighty two.” “How’d you get that?” the lawyer asks. Answers St. Peter: “We added up your time sheets.”

Morris Schwartz, on his deathbed, knowing the end is near, is with his nurse, his wife, his daughter and his two sons. So, he says to them: “Bernie, I want you to take the Beverly Hills houses.” “And Sybil, you take the apartments over in Los Angeles Plaza.” “Hymie, I want you to take the offices over in City Center.” “Sarah, my dearest wife, please take all of the residential buildings downtown.” The nurse is completely blown away by all this, and as Morris slips away, she says, “Mrs. Schwartz, your husband must have been a very hardworking man to have accumulated all of this property”. Sarah replies, “What property? He has a paper route!”
