(AP Photofax) Schaan to Vie in Auctioneer Contest A Missoula man, Albert Schaan, will compete in the 1966 World Champion Livestock Market Auctioneer Contest next month. Schaan and his wife will attend the two-day event at the Grand Hotel on Mackinac Island, June 12 and 13. The annual contest is sponsored during the Livestock Marketing Congress and is conducted by the Missouri Auction School and endorsed by the nation's 800 certified livestock markets. Schaan was named Montana State Champion auctioneer last month.

His runnerup, Craig Britton, Butte, also will compete in the national contest. Purpose of the competition is Republicans Charge Abuses Wrecking War on Poverty WASHINGTON (AP) Abuses, scandals and mismanagements are destroying the antipoverty program, say a group of House Republicans who want new legislation to solve the problems of the poor. They urge dismantling of the Office of Economic Opportunity which runs the enlarging the role of local governments, and tightening congressional control over spending. Eight of nine Republicans on the House Education and Labor Committee joined in assailing the current program and presenting an alternative. Their views are in a dissenting report on a bill approved by the committee's Democratic majority to carry the antipoverty program into its third year.

The GOP report foreshadows a bitter fight when the bill comes to the House floor next month. In place of the committee bill, which would authorize $1.75 billion for the coming fiscal year, the Republicans offer a proto determine auctioneering ability and skill. The winner will be chosen by 14 industry judges. Wax Display RACINE, Wis. (AP) A wax museum here may not boast the many lifelike figures of world celebrities found at London's famed Madame Toussaud's, but it has variety of a different sort.

More than 125 types of natural waxes produced from such diverse sources as grape seeds, cranberries, tea leaves, several kinds of bees and even rare Chinese insects are found in the Johnson Wax collection assembled over several decades for research purposes. -gram they call the Crusade, which would continue the present programs, but with redefined goals, standards and administration. It would authorize $1.4 billion in federal money and call for partial matching of funds by local and state agencies to produce a total of $1.98 billion for the various programs. They would place the Job Corps and Neighborhood Youth Corps in the Labor Department, adult education programs in the Office of Education, and leave only the Community Action programs and the Domestic Peace Corps in the 0EO. The report accuses the Democrats of "one of the sorriest exhibitions of political partisanship" Congresss "has ever witnessed" in drafting the pending bill.

The Democrats wasted 000 which Congress appropriated for an investigation of the antipoverty by taking only a basis, discounts the coin 9 per cent. This leaves Missoula banks just 1 per cent to cover cost of handling and the inevitable slopover in predominantly U.S. coin rolls. "One per cent isn't enough, of course," said my banking expert. Who sets the discount rate? Oddly enough, Canada is primarily responsible.

Canadian authorities want U.S. trade dollars, including tourist revenue from the states. They decided long ago to peg the discount rate at 7 per cent and thereby offer U.S. buyers an excellent exchange. Supply and demand on the New York Foreign Exchange Market also cuts a deal of ice.

The national rate is figured each day on the basis of at least $100,000 in Canadian currency changing hands. Where the interchange of U.S.' and Canadian coin is so common as to demand equal valuation, banks may well have kept it all in the family by swapping coin even-steven across the border. This, in the past, has saved wear and tear on shoppers' nerves and saved the banks some complex bookkeeping. But the Federal Reserv Bank still discounts Canadian money 9 per cent, whether that money comes from Missoula, Kalispell, Cut Bank or Great Falls. Will the exchange rate adjust itself in months and years to come so that 50 cents Canadian will once more bring 50 cents U.S.? Bankers here doubt it, because Canada will unquestionably want U.S.

money more than Yankees want Canadian money in the forseeable future. In Missoula, meanwhile, the face of Elizabeth is becoming rarer by the day. When coins are generally as the half dollar was scarce, almost anything will do for an exchange medium, beads and wooden nickles in the last extremity. But the money merchants who sit in high offices can chase even the prettiest coin out of sight with their bullish and bearish ways. It's only money, but the queen does have a handsome profile.

Teslow, feed and farm supply dealer in western Montana, has closed its warehouse and office at Toole and Dickens in Missoula. Robert D. Christenson of 1703 Phillips, has been transferred by the company to Hamilton, where a mill and retail outlet is managed by James Robbins. Teslow also operates a Ronan, as well as many outlets in Montana. The company will attempt to serve Missoula area customers from Hamilton and Ronan, a spokesman said.

The firm's headquarters is in Bozeman. A fire more than three years ago destroyed the firm's mill in Missoula. Teslow has operated in Missoula about seven years. Teslow Closes Missoula Operations Mad Bees Terrify Africans JOHANNESBURG, South Africa (AP)-Notoriously vicious bees, apparently irritated more than usual by hot weather, have terrified South Africans with angry attacks in the last six months. Five people were stung to death.

Hundreds of others suffered painful stings. Pet dogs and other animals died in the onslaught. People fleeing in panic before swarms of bees in several cases dived into swimming pools or public fountains to escape the invaders. A Johannesburg family and guests who were having drinks in their garden spent two hours in their private pool, surfacing only for air. Golfers Jack Nicklaus of the United States and Gary Player of South Africa had to abandon part of one match when attacked and stung by bees on a Pretoria course during their $50,000 challenge series.

A 43-year-old man was stung to death when he tried to rescue his dog. Other fatalities included a man who tried to drive away a swarm which took over his home. Struggle for Survival Alec Papageorge, of the South African Council for Scientific and Industrial Research, suggested that the bad temper of local bees can be traced to an age-old struggle for survival. "A likely theory is that indigenous bees have been robbed for centuries by tribes of Africans seeking honey. Only vicious strains, which put up the best defense, have survived," he said.

"In Europe, on the other hand, bees have been cultivated and pampered since the days of the ancient Romans. Their environment has been sympathetic to the development of docile strains." In Salisbury, Rhodesia, an apiarist was fined $28 for keeping dangerous bees. He successfully appealed. The court decided that bees which killed a neighbor's dog and stung a child, an African servant, and geese could have been wild bees from vacant land nearby. Renovation BROOKFIELD, Ill.
