May Aid Counties
On Feeder Roads

HELENA.-Under proposed plan
worked out by Don A. McKinnon,
state highway engineer, federal aid
for surfacing feeder roads may be
obtained for those counties finan-
cially able to grade the roads with
their own equipment and labor, it
was announced this week Hereto
fore, the state has been unable to
match federal aid funds for feeder
roads, because of insufficient reve-
nues from its gasoline taxes. The
federal bureau of public roads also
required contributions from the state
or counties before it would allocate
funds for feeder road surfacing.
Montana faces difficult times in
maintaining its ever-growing system
of improved highways, Engineer
McKinnon said.

AS we journey through this maze
of political confusion and economic
uncertainties, it is we'll for those
who are concerned in the possibili-
ties of the future to pause and take
inventory of the achievements of
the past.
The year of 1886 was historical
in the field of Labor for the Negro
worker by having won the right to
live and participate in the general
functions of self-improvement. In
his pursuit of happiness the Sleep
ing Car Porter was presented an

President of the Brotherhood of

gates to the ffty-sixth National
Convention of the A. F. of L., held
at Tampa, Florida, Nov. 16 to %,
last year.
The fearless attack by President
Randolph on discrimination against
Negro workers in trade unions, the
convict system for Negro and
white workers, the so-called share
crop and tenant-farming, the en-
tire southern system of economics,
industry and jurisprudence was
subject to the most searching
analysis and condemnation.
International Vice President
Webster was no less forceful in
his address to the Longshoreman's
Association of Tampa, Florida.
Five hundred Negro and white
longshoremen were the recipients
of information that had to do with
their distressed and complicated
situation.
These events have had far reach
ing effects, south of the Mason
Dixon line inasmuch as the south
ern press has given it much favor

lightened sections it has been the
occasion for much social specula-

I hear "Sir" NORMAN Light is
still following the beaten path to

cooked a meal with her own lii
hands last Sunday and of course
DICK ALLEN was there to sample
it and praise the cooks wonderful
work. That new romantic
couple DORTHEA HARRIS and
LOUIS MASON seem to have it
bad. The j. C. VS.. K. V. ro-
nance has shattered. It'll probably
be pieced together again by the
time you get this paper. The
Style Show the st. Thomas Epis-
copal Church is going to have some
time in March promises to be one
of the most unique style shows
we've ever had. The converse

of nothing but boys and Easter

gates to participate in the Nation

MOLD WALKER is working hard
to curb the discrimination on the
campus. I am sure that with the
work that has already been accom-
plished with the able assistance of
our Editor CECIL E. NEWMAN
and other prominent Twin City
folk, much will be gained. :.
What prominent st. Paul couple
are contemplating a merger? .
DONALD McADAMS hasn't eyes
for anyone but DAISY NEVIS.
The S. HARRIS-C. BRADY
romance is sizzling again. II hope
it doesn't cool off before you get
this edition of the paper.) They're
a swell couple though. The JR.
CREDJAFAWN'S CLUB must
have an awful attraction in their
club these days cause I've heard
of gobs of Minneapolis gals who
want to pledge Jr. Credj. wish
that young st. Paul boy who keeps
continually admiring BETTY
MURPHY would stop having his
silent crush and get acquainted
with the gal. (I'm sure she'd like
you, too.) =. Whom did LLOYD
