WPA'S EXPENSIVE SUPERVISION
From Whitefish Pilot

While the discussion is on over WPA strike-de-
monstrations against longer working hours it is inter-
esting to take look at the lists of supervisors and
funconaries attached to the overhead payroll of the
WPA. These lists the country secured and
finally released to the public by congressional COM
mittee. That payroll in Montana amounts to more
than third of million dollars year. Of course,
million dollars is just chicken feed in the spending
splurge that has been on, but the set-ltp looks
though it takes quite bit of money that had
business like overhead but there will be plenty of
for it. One of the main (not publicly expressed)
is that these various jobs in mighty handy for
political patronage.
In looking over the Montana lists we encountered
quite number Of familiar To these familiar
attached salaries far beyond what the bear
ers of the could think of securing if they were
turned loose the unkind world. Some items in the
list really amusing But the faithful must be spoil
ed if the Hatch bill under congressional consider
alton should become law.
The Montana list also shows that janitors and Of
flee boys receive 81 200 year, which is two and half
times than those paid for doing the actual work
Nepotism is also rampant in the set-up some families
receiving as high $4,000 between them And of
the poor taxpayer foots the BILL If he squawks,
they tell him "why the government is paying us"
When will the down-trod taxpayer wake up and
smite these parasites and grafters?

NOSln' Around
BY Dewe Telle

Many comments have been re-
ceived complimenting the Wat
son sisters-Donna. Helen and
Vera On their performance as a
trio at the recent state Lions
club convention held at Billings.
Because these three girls are not
ones to 60 about broadcastinR
their achievements, we here at
home hardly knew they had at
tended the convention, to say
nothing of the sensation they
created. However. if reports re-
ceived from Great Falls, Helena
and other Lions centers are any
indication, the Watson sisters put
Browning on the map as far as
the Lions club is concerned. To
have to let outsiders discover the
talent we have here in town must
make US feel something like the
man looking for his hat. when
his friend spots it perched in its
rightful place on his head.
If friends see Murl Beck. the
funeral director. wandering q.
round in a daze muttering some
thing about pounds and inches,
please do not report it to the hos
pital, as the condition is not
.erious 1t all resulted when 1.-The
biggest fish this side of the Gulf
of Mexico made the sad mistake
Of grabbing the line. which was
to the fish pole which
was attached to Mr.. Beck. For
those interested in statistics, I'm
sorry that ! cannot give any fig
lres on the size of this dwe!ler
Of the stream, and it is absolute
|y useless to question Murl on
the subject, as he is badly pre-.
JUDGED. However. he claims it
took yardstick (although he
does not say how much of it, to
measure the fish. 80 let its size
be Judged by that.
l mentioned the seemingly
incessant wind to an old timer
the other day and was surprised
1t retort that the little breezes
we have nowadays are absolutely
nothing beside the winds of his
lay. The wind blew 80 constantly
he said and people grew so accus-
toned to leaning against its
force. that one day when through
some freak of nature it stopped
blowing momentariIy. 20 people
fell flat on their faces. Take it or
cave it, that's what he told me.

The Low Down
From Hickory Grove

Once in a while 1 will haul ou
the encyclopedia. and when l do so
l always run into something that is
mighty interesting. And the other
night / run across this Teller
Croesus.
MIR. Croeeus, be was a King OF
Lydia down there in Asia not far
from Europe. and he was the first
duck to use coin. He used gold and
silver blended together, to make his
coins. Before the days of Croesus,
they used bars of gold and silver.
That was hack there around go B.
c.
And the reason this piece il the
encyclopedia caught nv eye. it is
because we are doing just the op-
posite in the U. S. We are going
backwards. If you tried to use a 5
dollar gold piece today. you will get
locked up.
II we are headin' back to before
the time of Croesus and do away

next thing on the docket, will be
wearing long. curly whiskers, and
night shirts to the Office, and we

Arnold Blumfeldt, chef at Migis
Lodge on the Storied and famous
Sebago Lake of Maine He doesn't
go fishing often, but when he does
he generally has something to tell.
The other day he hooked a big
salmon. but was little lax in play
ing it and suddenly his whole out
fit-rod. reel and line-Went over
board
Hoping to retrieve the gear
salmon tackle is expensive stuff
Blumfeldt got graphing iron and
chased around after the outfit. A
half hour later he heard a fish
break and saw him several times
BY careful maneuvering he got close
enough to slip net under the tired
salmon and landed it, finding the
line and tackle still attached.
1t probably is the first time a rod
and reel ever was caught on a
salmon.
