Voice of New York By Louis Sobol

often because the admission fee was pretty stiff
in town where the average weekly pay check
rarely exceeded $30-and was usually pretty well
under that. It has been my good luck to see many
plays in New York-far handsomer productions
than those which invaded our town-and it hasn't
cost me penny. because am one Of those for
tunate by-liners who receive passes. Spring was
pretty swell back home with the trees and the
bushes in bloom and that pungent crispnesS in
air-but have learned to love the spring that
comes to Manhattan and makes itself evident not
only in the parks, but in Easter finery of the
pretty little girls-and New York has so many
of them. This is sacrilege, of course, but there
were only few very pretty girls in our home
town-the reason for that being, of course, that

Good Eating Places
WE HAD about three good eating places and
w looked forward to the one night in the week
when we could go on q splurge and order from
oysters to apple pie, but now know the food in
the hometown restaurants never compared with
that served in the most obscure dining places here
and there is no Use getting too sentimental about
a truth. Few Of the smalltown restaurants have
the facilities.
NOR is there the homeyness about the old town
that was once. The citizens are smart keep
up with the trends in theater, fashions and poll
tics-thanks to the movies and the radio and the
syndicated newspaper features They buy the
latest models in cars and most of them manage
to spend weekend in New York every month or
so. The horse and buggy days are gone with the
old pump in the green and now there are apart
ment houses with steam heat and even air-cooling
and big department stores.

Say Land in Forests
Needed for Grazing Areas

The livestock industry of Mon
tana, especially the sheep raising
business, depends a great deal on
grazing lands in national forests, ac-
cording to a letter. to Governor Roy
E. Ayers from E. A. Phillips, secre-
tary of the Montana Stockgrowers
association. The letter was written
after the Central Montana Conserva-
ton club distributed pamphlet
among sportsmen, urging them to
"eat no more mutton until sheep
are kept from national forests" A
resolution urging that sheep be kept
from national forests was adopted by
the Izaak Walton league of Great
Falls and sent to Washington, D. G.
Mr.. Phillips pointed out that SO
per cent of national forest land in
Montana is set aside for the exclus-
i've use of big game-l5 per cent
is used by big game and livestock.
Thirty-two per cent is all that IS
allotted for domestic livestock, and
big game shares half of this amount,
he said. Without use of the grazing
lands on forests, he said, many
ranches would be abandoned and
removed from tax rolls.

Sample Ballots Not To Be
Printed At County Expense

Following is an opinion of the At
torney General: Il am unable to
find any statute authorizing the
county clerk to order sample bal
lots to be printed at the cost of the
county. In absence of statutory
authority he would not of course be
permitted to obligate the county for
such printing. Under Section BOZ
R. c. M. he may order sample
ballots for political parties, but he
is required to collect an amount sui
ficient to pay the cost of printing
from the political committees OF the
parties ordering the same.
