Commissioners Chester Wendt and Ralph James also were honored. Wendt is t'Ki- wanis member. Miller pointed out, that the budget is the 'biggest item that the court is responsible for. He spoke of the large revenue from federal forest lands and warned that some time, from economic reasons, this money could be reduced, That's why, he said, attention should be given to voting a tax base. The judge spoke of the growing density of population outside the cities and the problems of sanitation and water getting out of hand in some sections. Sometime in the future zoning will be a necessity, he maintained. Yesterday was "loud shirt" day also at the Kiwanis luncheon. Prizes went to President Tom Anderson, Harry Barker and Ed Hoppe.
