HIGHWAY TELEPHONE EXTENSION

One of the worthwhile movements to which this community has been giving some consideration through its Chamber of Commerce is the proposed extension of telephone service out the Glacier High way to include the Aux Bay district. Actually little has been accomplished thus far but it is project which should be permitted to lapse into the dol drums in view of the growing development along the highway and the constantly increasing population trough that area
 It is conservatively estimated that at least fifty homes could be served by such extension. It
 1t well be more Not only would telephone service te # distinct advantage to those who now live out
 H-ad but it would doubtless tend to encourage
 pment along the highway. After all, in this day and age of rapid transportation and communi- o on it seems little out of step to large com muniy little outside of the city limits of the largest .f ,1aeka without telephone service particularly Hrea ona considers that we do have long distance ph- ne connection with the States We can talk by elerhoae to New York City on the other side of the continent but we can't talk to a friend five miles out the road
 In addition 10 serving the many residents of the district which is primary proposed developments are planned in the district which will require tee- phone service It is probable that a boat float will be put in at Aux Bay. It is not unlikely that the Navy may make some Improvements there Major se~elapment is being considered at the airport and u airport district.
 Au these things, while tentative. point to the need fer furthering the movement to get telephone extersion
 The Forest Service has suggested that it might be able to cooperate in carrying the line out beyond Vanderbilt Hill Desire has been expressed by resi- dents of the district for telephone service.
 The necessary factors exist for crystalizing the telephone extension to the point of getting successful action.

MODERN ETIQUETTE By Roberta Lee

o. Which would be preferable to say, Will you have lunch witf me-" or will you have luncheon with me?"
 A. Luncheon is more formal than lunch. A purist once said, Gents who wear pants each lunch" How ever, lunch is in better modern usage, if merely inviting a friend to eat with you. Luncheon sounds little too formal in this case.
 Q. Is it courteous for a guest to use any receptacle handy for an ash tray?
 A. No. It is much better to ask for an ash tray. It IS ill-bred to dump ashes in a bowl, vase, plate, or any receptacle other than an ash tray
 c. What is the best phrase for a girl to use when introducing an- other girl to boy?
 A. Edna, this is Ralph Moore. Edna Brown"

Where the Money Gees
Cincinnati Enquirer

John Maynard Keynes, English economist in his latest book, "The General Theory of Interest, Elm ployment, and Money" says that the problem of investment is the main trouble in the modern world The owners of land of factories and of all the other things which bring in rents dividends profits are unable to find profitable fields in which to employ this money.
 The Na7is have shown in Germany that one temporary solution is for the government to borrow this unnvested surplus and to it in unproductive expenditures In Germany this takes the form of armaments. MT. Keynes remarks that for the peace of the world it would be better if Germany built pyramids.
 MT Keynes might well find confirmation of bis theory here that is, the borrowing of uninvested money by the government That has been going on this country for 10 years. The government itself has borrowed a gigantic scale. States and cities have borrowed The money has been expended on highways, bridges, dams, reforestaton, parks, new public buildings, sewers and all kinds of things for the general betterment
 We have done more in the last decade to improve America physically than had been done in the pre- vious 50 years. That is where money is going. Ii cannot be used profitaby in industrial and com mercia enterprises it is loaned to the government and is used for public purposes.
 Of course. this borrowing of idle money will stop if new means of production developed which will be able gainfully to money Never before has political economy had a quite such problem to solve.
