20 Northwest Arkansas TIMES, Friday, June 22, 1973 FAvrrrcviLLi, ARKANSAS To Reclaim Montana Ranch Hilgers Live By Rules Of Earlier Day By JIM KLAHN WOLF CREEK, Mont. (AP) The four Hilgcr kids live by the rules of an earlier age. Bryan, Susan, Dan and Amelia, who count 243 collective years on their dry 10,000 acres along one of the prettiest spots on the Missouri River, never did leave home. Just as most of the country into the roaring times struck the by in Slate Papers To Eye Rules On Want Ads By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Some Arkansas newspaper officials said Thursday they would have to study a U.S. Supreme Court ruling before they decided whether to retain the "help wanted male" and "help wanted female" headings in their classified advertising col- was going 1920s, bad family ranch founded Grandpa Nicholas Hilger 1867.

High-priced hay in the hard winter and a poor cattle market in the spring of 1920 forced the sale of the ranch. The Hilgers gave up their marrying years to reclaim the spread. Through the 1920s, '30s and '40s, the Hilgers bought up what land they could from gone broke homesteaders, ranchers and swapped land to regain the land lost in a hard winter. By the late '40s they owned some 5.000 acres and later leased 4,000 more to get the spread in the gates of the mountain country between Wolf Creek and Helena. "Once a guy gets into this country umns.

However, newspapers it's said. many Arkansas had dropped the gender identification in such columns before Thursday's ruling by the high court, which said sex segregation of ads was not protected by the First Amendment. When John Trout managing editor of The Jonesboro Sun, learned of the court ruling, he said The Sun would drop the practice. "We quit, as of this morning," he said, after hearing of the ruling in a Pittsburg case. Jack Harrison, managing editor of The Pine mercial, said his Bluff Corn- paper had changed the headings to read "help wanted-miscellaneous" several months ago.

Harry A. Haines of the Blytheville Courier News said his paper also had adopted that policy months ago. Officials of the Arkansas Gazette, the Arkansas Democrat and the Hot Springs Sentinel- Record, all of which use gender designations in help wanted sections of their classified ad-1 vertising, said they would examine the court's ruling. One publisher said he felt the papers were simply trying to be of service to the public by listing the ads that way. "It doesn't sound like the ruling would apply to individual ads.

just to columns, but if it does apply to individual ads, this will cause a lot of readers untold hours of extra work if the ads themselves can't contain sex identification," he said. He said some advertisers wanted to discriminate in a sense. "A fellow wanting somebody to wait tables doesn't want a man of my age at his beanery," the publisher said. wants a young, and preferably good-looking, woman for that job. "I suppose some of the ads could be considered discriminating in a subtle sense, when, for example, they ask for a waitress, instead of a waiter," he said.

"Maybe that will become a wait-person." hard to move Bryan, 60. Al though the countryside'is dry pathetically so this year, just downriver from the ranch the Missouri cuts through a narrov gorge with tree-linec limestone cliffs. It is a play ground for the deer and the an telope. As the Hilgers collected land they built a herd of milk cows then went to Herefords fo slaughter. Given the rain-star ved pasture, howeyer, the.

"We just got to working so ard building up the ranch we dn't have time to get mar- ed, I guess," he said.

"By the me we got it all straightened ut we were too old." Ranch and house chores are plit among the four. Babe and take care of the cattle. ian, 65, handles the farming on (irrigated acres and Susan, 3, takes care of the house. Their mother. Bertha, a stur- 90, shares the modern, reen ranch house.

Their fa- her, N.D. Hilger, died in 1949. The Hilgers raise their own arden, make their own ice ream and churn thier own tutor. Dan estimated they spend $45 a month in Helena for jroceries, mostly flour, sugar md coffee. The ranch has a few modern mechanical contraptions lying about and Babe and Bryan still litch up a team to ferry hay to he cows in the winter and ear- spring.

PROFITS Profits on the ranch, says 'amity spokesman Dan, are miss. Some years.you make don't." other years you Still, they are proud of having no debts. "We don't owe anybody anything," said Dan. How long the Hilger Valley will remain much as it has been for generations is something that concerns the Hilger family. Across the river, on the American.

Bar, there is a new land development with 90 lots. "That won't look so good," said Dan. The Hilgers have received, innumerable offers for their land and they realize they'll have to across South Vietnam fell to Us owest level in five months to day, with the number of Com numist violations reported by the Saigon command down by nearly 50 per cent. A communique from the command listed 57 Communist truce infractions during the 24 hours ending at dawn. It was the third straight day that reported incidents had dropped far below the average of 100.

Meanwhile, a Vietnamese believed to be a war veteran burned himself to death in front of the Saigon Cathedral. The motive was not immediately tnown. On another front, a weekly liaison flight which is supposed to shuttle observers between Saigon and Hanoi was canceled in a dispute over passenger safety It was the. second straight week that the U.S' Air -Force C130 failed to take off, although the recent communique signed in Paris to strengthen the cease-fire that began Jan. 28 explicitly calls for "frequent and regular" flights between the two capitals.

The U.S. ''embassy- said the leave someday. "We'll have to said Bryan, noting there's no one in sight to take over the operation. They said they had considered relatives, but "ranching doesn't appeal to them." Meantime the Hilger kids go all these years?

Col. Huynh Van Trinh, refused to sign a safety certificate guaranteeing that the Nor.th Vietnamese were not carrying any dangerous cargo. The embassy said the precaution was taken to prevent a recurrence of an incident June 8 when an incendiary device concealed in the baggage of a North Vietnamese passenger ignited. Seven persons were injured and the interior of the plane was damaged. But a North Vietnamese sookesman accused the United States of making a pretext to cancel the flight in order to "cause obstacles" to the activities of the team.
