During a meeting at the Chamber of Commerce, members of the merchant group said a report in yesterday's Democrat-Herald left the impression that there might not be decorations, but they asserted the opposite was true. At a city council meeting Tues day night, Walter TenBrook, representing local merchants, re quested the city to take over the responsibility for putting up decorations.

In the past, the fire department has done the job. and merchants have paid money which went into the firemen's tov fund. This year the merchants plan to invest more money than ever before in decorations. That's the reason money is lacking to pay firemen for having the decorations put in place, the merchants' said. Court House Center Newjiright jaila decoration will center at the court house steps this year, and a choir will sing there each mgbt, according to the retail merchants.

Besides this, the garlands which are placed over streets will be supplied by the businessmen as usual. The merchant group has alwavs bought the decorations, they said. The choirs will start appearing Dec. 14, and they will sing at the court house steps every night through Dec. 31.

Also in the businessmen's Christmas plans is a Santa Claus bouse for youngsters. Day After Thanksgiving Target date for having the decorations in place is the day after Thanksgiving, the committee said. Citizens should understand, according to the committee, that the reason the business houses requested the city to take over putting up the mei chant-purchased decorations is that more money is being invested in providing the decorations. "We don't have the money to pay to have them hung because we're investing in more extensive decorations," TenBrook said. He also said mention in the newspaper report Wednesday had left the mistaken impression that there is now bad feeling between the fire department and merchants.

"There is no rift between the fire department and merchants whatever." TenBrook said He said the feeling between the groups is "very ood." Fire Chief Don Hayne agreed with TenBrook's position. "So far as the relationship goes, it is as good as it could possibly be between merchants and firemen any place," the fire chief said. "We have excellent relations with the merchants, if there has been any bad feeling, it was in the distant past and has long since been forgotten." Havne said that no plans have yet been formed to get needed funds for the firemen's toy fund. An estimated 60 cars slid front the highway In the Helleata Can yon between Missoula and Helena.

Police were checking a military hand grenade with a serial number on it found by the garage. It was their only clue to the bombing. It was a new type which burst into steel slivers instead of hunks of fragments as early models did.

They have brought in the pygmies and their blowguns and poisoned darts to aid them in their battle for survival. The Watutsi are people of tremendous presence. Their faces are delicately chiseled, their swaying walk gracefully impressive. To emphasize their height they wear Romanesque togas drapped down from the shoulder.

The Batwas and Bahutus had never seen anything like them. They accepted instantly that these towering invaders must be the great warriors they said they were.

The lone occupant of the two- story structure, resident caretaker A. B. Stevens, said he escaped with "only the clothes on my back" and a few other personal possessions. He was the only person on the property at the time. Stevens had to walk one mile to a farm house to summon fire men.

The building was leveled by the time the Marcola fire department and members of the Eastern Lane Forest Protective Association arrived. Marcola Fire Chief Brock Jones said the fire may have started in a flue. Other smaller buildings on the land were spared. The nudist colony was established about three years ago.
