The article describes youth under 21 obtaining beer and whisky amid lax enforcement. It notes dealers' efforts to check IDs, a 16 year old found with whisky, and cites a source claiming teens find it easier to get liquor than Indians. It also discusses polio fly prevention and unrelated editorial notes.
A mix of humorous quips, social commentary, and odd anecdotes appears from a Montana context. Vignettes reference Dor othy Parker quotes, highway planning, a linotype error, aging marriages, a wealthy suitor, a fisherman involved in a minor accident, and a bait-for-cans punch board scheme with pipe smokers.
A Billings letter questions piping water from Red Lodge and other towns to improve quality. Officials note water rights limits and minimal quality difference not justifying multi million pipelines. City plans focus on improving the current plant and a Calhous Lane park idea is referred for study.
A year’s subscription to the TEE HERALD is suggested as a welcome gift for friends and relatives who have moved away from Billings.
