Anaconda's forest-products background went back to 1898, when the firm acquired the Big Blackfoot Milling Company, consisting of sawmill operations and timber land in western Montana. For years, the Anaconda mill at Bonner supplied timbers for underground mine supports in Butte and lumber for other company operations in the state. fiawat SkM Im Tmpwatwaa laaaOMl Astrological forecasts Weather forecast Showers of rain or snow are expected in the Pacific Northwest, East coastal area and central plains.

Love's clear-cutting operation has removed dozens of half-grown cottonwoods from the island's center. Love, who says he is a landscape architect, said he was "opening up the island." "I want to see it developed," said Love. MRS. HICKS, an Audubon Society official, told the commissioners her group felt the area should be maintained as a walk-through park with motor vehicles and overnight camping banned (except by special permit). In reply, the commissioners said overnight camping couldn't be banned because the scouts use the park.

"They could get a permit," said Mrs. Hicks, who said Monday she has since learned that the last scout outing in the park was broken up by harassment from cows and motorcyclists. Meanwhile, Meeks has commented that transients now living in the park may still be there this fall if nothing is done. Pleads innocent in child scalding A 24-year-old Billings woman pleaded innocent Monday to a charge of second-degree assault in the scalding of her 3-year-old daughter. Police charged Kathleen Ja-cobson with holding the child in a tub of scalding water.

The girl, Jennifer Jacobson, is re-portecLin serious condition with first, second and third degree burns police say she suffered in the April 17 incident. A trial date will be set later.

Bendetsen said his firm would, during the next 18 months, build a large plywood manufacturing facility and a "major particle board plant complex" at a projected cost of $30 million. He said most of the construction work force for the western Montana project would be recruited locally. He said when the production facility is completed, his firm would give first consideration to hiring former Anaconda employes. Bendetsen said he believed the work force at the Bonner facility, Anaconda's present lumber mill, eventually would be larger than now. Bendetsen said U.S.

Plywood-Champion would organize its properties while the building is going on. He said when his firm gets back into forestry operations, a work force at least as large as Anaconda's present forest-products employment would be put to work. Bendetsen said his firm will use "advanced environmental forestry practices to stimulate timber growth and to protect fish and wildlife."

KOOK radio to be sold Radio Station KOOK AM of Billings is being sold, according to William Reier, general manager. The station is being sold to Mattco, Chicago, whose broadcast properties include Station KBOM in Bismarck, N.D.

"And although that proposal is not yet law, our attorneys advise us that legal confirmation is just around the cor-ner. Reier says Mattco is owned by Chicago lawyer Russell H.

The President's Moscow summit visit was perhaps swaying in the balance as he conferred in the Cabinet Room with his top advisers. Warren said, however, that "plans are proceeding" for the visit due to begin in two weeks. A few hours before the meeting began, reliable American sources in Saigon said Nixon had ordered U.S. warplanes to bomb fuel and supply depots and other military targets on the edges of Hanoi.

They were the first raids on the Hanoi area since April 16. The urgency of the National Security Council meeting was underscored by Nixon's orders for Secretary of State William P.

THSTTNCTWE CREATE MTUMTH nmt AIM KUMt if A Answer Entitlement to receive a widow's pension based upon the service record of a deceased veteran now requires only one year of marriage. If the veteran and his wife were married for one year or more; or if they had a child born of their marriage, the widow may be eligible to receive a pension. A widow's pension may be payable to a wife, or to a wife and children, or to children only of a deceased veteran of any war. Entitlement to a widow's pension is based upon annual income minimums.

Although income received in one year may cause a widow to be ineligible for a pension in that year she may be eligible in future years. This particularly applies to a widow who loses her Social Security benefit when her youngest child reaches age 18. Children of a veteran may be eligible for a pension although their mother is not jj A Billings man, kicked in his "pacemaker" Sunday, has not decided whether to press charges against the assailant.
