When they want to associate with
those who are dear to them through
school associations. II they want to
attend reunions they always have to-
go away from their own state and
that means the sacrifice of some of
the most valuable helps to success

Idaho is handicapped by its geog-
raphy. We think of the people liv-
ing in some other part of the state
as being hardly part of our popula-
ton. The people of southern Idaho
have had a habit of thinking of
north Idaho as not being part OF
ourselves. 1t was brought out rath-

held recently at Lewiston when they
decided to caucus in three groups,
north Idaho, the southeast and south
west. A couple of delegates sitting
with north Idaho were questioned as
