OTHER ACTION DISCUSSED The Natrona County state representatives and state senators also conferred with other citizens on various items of proposed legislation at the meeting Friday night. They heard a request from Allan Stewart, head of the State Highway Users Committee on Project Adequate Roads to the affect that state gasoline tax funds should not be diverted from highway use. Legislation which will be sought by the Wyoming Trucking Association was outlined by Fred Wood-ring and William Hilliar. The legislation will deal with the designation of irregular route carriers. The proposal to legalize slot machines in certain instances also was discussed.

The legislators said no definite de A police report said officers werei called to the Radio Bar about 4:30 p.m. Friday where they found Jolly suffering from a wound in the calf Residents of Westridge opposed to rerouting of Highway 220 alongside the southwest residential section of Casper, carried their case to members of the Wyoming Legislature from Natrona County at a conference Friday night at the home of Rep. Howard Leik. Representing the Westridge Committee were R. A.

Burge and P. J. Shafer. The committee represenatives were told that the legislature can take no direct action concerning the rerouting of the highway because the state gasoline tax is administered, by the Wyoming Highway Commission and the legislature merely levies the tax. It was suggested that members of the Natrona County legislative group, city council members, county commissioners and interested citizens meet with the state commission in an effort to resolve the objections.

Councilman Walter King-ham, who also is a member of the legislature, was asked to arrange such a conference.

The group has recommended using street west to the Platte River, south over a new highway to Lower West Casper, then connecting with West Yellowstone and leading to west of Mills, thence south across the Platte over the existing bridge and along the present road near the river south to Highway 220.

The highway commission's plans, on the other hand, call for routing traffic south on Walnut to Railroad avenue, thence west to Locust and south, skirting Westridge on the west to tie in with Highway 220. The Westridge Committee contends that the highway commission's plan would be considerably more expensive, calling among other things for a new bridge over the Platte and a new bridge over Garden Creek, together with other construction. Under the Westridge plan, it is maintained, the only new construction needed is the street Highway, already projected, and the link through Lower West Casper, to 2,279 Homes Built Since End of War Permits for the erection of 2,279 homes in Casper during the past seven years was disclosed at the office of B.

Schwejda explained how the community orchestra was organized four years ago and he offered suggestions to other mtiSic directors for starting a musical program such as Casper has. He stressed that the symphony offers a goal for beginning musicians to attain and at the same time gives adults an opportunity to continue playing. The organization keeps many people interested in their music who otherwise might not have a chance to use their training after graduation. Casper music instructors emphasize the importance of string instruments to students in the grade schools. Over half of the symphony orchestra consists of strings, which many cities overlook in encouraging pupils to participate principally in bands when they begin their training.

"School and Town" explains the music program in the grade, junior high, and high schools here and is accompanied by a picture of the goal of the program, the Casper Civic Symphony. In conclusion, Mr. Schwejda writes: "In Casper we are looking forward with enthusiasm to an ever-increasing string program. We are working toward the development of an orchestra or small string group in each of our grade schools and the performances of such groups in their own school activities. We are working toward the establishment of our own summer string camp on Casper Mountain.

Our civic orchestra, the 'Baby Symphony of America' as it has been called, has done a great deal to keep our string program in the increase. The musical future of Casper is bright." Rehearsals of the voluntary group will resume Monday evening in the high school band room, after two weeks of vacation for the holidays. Members are preparing the second concert of the year to be presented here Jan. 20. They are also anticipating a concert in Buffalo, on Jan.

Barrett was elected governor in 1950 for a four-year term. Rogers will fill out the remaining two years of that term. Though he will also hold the job of secretary of state, he will receive only the a year salary of the governor.

In 1946 he was elected state treasurer for a four year term and 1950 was elected secretary of state. A native of Iowa, Gov. Rogers' first position in government was in 1928 when he entered the motor vehicle division in the office of Secretary of State A. M. Clark.

The chief executive is a member of the American Legion and of the Veterans of Foreign Wars. He is the first member of the VFW to become governor. The governor and Mrs. Rogers own and operate their own business, a motel and filling station located along the Lincoln Highway in Cheyenne.
