Starting as a i pick and shovel man in western j mines he soon rose to expert, dis- i covered rich ore deposits in Butte, I Mont., made a fortune in the Anaconda copper mines a few miles away, and became the Wiost powerful political leader in the state, although he never sought public office for himself. In 1872 he married Margaret Evans, established his home on one of the finest ranches in the West, and, as a hobby, raised race horses. Sicily Huge Fortress Blocking Mediterranean Sicily, poised at the toe of the Italian boot, is "the football of the Mediterranean"--throughout history it has been kicked around by more conquerors than most other areas of like wze. A partial list of ruler* of uie island includes Greek tyrants, Roman Caesars, Byzantine emperors, Saracen rulers, Norman kings, and in modern times a dizzying succession of Spanish, French, Austnan and British sovereigns before Garibaldi gathered it into Italy's arms in 1860. Sicily's area of 9,926 square miles makes it the largest island in the Mediterranean; its situation has made it often the most important as well. This threercornered mountainous chunk of earth, seething with volcanic unrest, almost plugs up the central bottleneck of the Mediterranean. Africa lies only 90 miles to the southwest across the sea's Sicilian Narrows. Europe lies only two miles to - the east across the Strait of Messina. Traffic or tragedy originating in either half of the sea has paid toll to or taken toll of Sicily as it passed, and scarcely ail event of Mediterranean history has.

"Don't know as you can call it lucky, Harold...we saw it coming with the war and we did something about it before it hit U9. We gave our 'teen age youngsters the recreational facilities they needed and really wanted. Those familiar with this wartime problem know that young folks go to places they shouldnXooly when the proper places are not provided for them. Young people always want to be with others of their own age... want their own type of entertainment. Town after town has found out that once these simple wants are met, the problem Is well on its way to being licked." "Guess I didn't really know how larfcighted our town really is. Judge. If we hadn't looked ahead we wouldn't have had anybody or anything to blame but ourselves, "•would we?"
