Speaker Outlines
Crisis Facing US.

The United States is facing q
crisis which may prove the most
important in her history, Paul Jen-
kins. publisher of the Morning Post

tarians in a summary of current
events at the clubs weekly meet
ing in the Barbara Worth hotel.
Our Democratic system. if Eng
land is vanquished by Hitler, Will
be the last important proponent of
this form of government" he de-
clared. THAT will place upon us
a task the size of which has not
confronted US since the Civil war"
The seriousness Of the situation,
he declared has its brighter side
in that the Democratic system.
faced by the challenging power OF
totalitarianism. will be forced to
rise to greater effectiveness and
greater success.
None of US in this country car
doubt that Democracy is the best
form of government ever created"

Democracy is capable of bigger
and finer achievement than has yet
been witnessed in our history. II
is possible that the present crisis
will serve good purpose by max
ing US extend ourselves. realize our
faults. and improve the democratic
operation TO its greatest and most
perfect destiny
jenkins urged that the United
States take an aggressive. rather
than defensive attitude in Solv-
ing its problems and eliminating
dangers confronting the nation.
Hitler. the Axis partners and Rus
Sia have all had definite programs
and purposes and therefore taken
the initiative. he pointed out De-
feated countries thus far have all

He advocated a three pro-

to Surmount the International eco
nomic problems causing war, and
an international production plan
able to compete with the cheap
labor, production costs and prices
OF other nations, in competitive
areas such as South America.
jenkins commended the good
neighbor policy of the present ad-
ministration. He declared. however.

study the proposed budgets. City
Clerk Neal Gavin interposed:
About a month ago Chester 1rv-

told him he could have it in few
DAYS but he never came back
Then Fawcett commented:
The Taxpayers association claims
to have elected three men to this
board, men they said they con-
sidered honest and capable. can't
see that the Taxpayers association
has any reason to change its mind
about those three. They have given
their time sincerely and have tried
honestly to reduce the tax rate. The
old members of the board have CO.
operated. We all have tried and are
trying. We have been working on
this for a long time and l think
the Taxpayers association should
arrange its time to accommodate
the board"
Most boards welcome tax COM
mittees," said Foulds. I'VE want TO
meet with you TO set the rate. We
meet with the supervisors F.. We
can't do anything unless more time
is given
Councilman Wesley He'll remark
ed:
Maybe if we hurry we will be sor-

Mayor Hatton replied:
We've been working on these
budgets more than month. don't
see where you get the idea we're in
a hurry No member Of this board
wants to waste money. Certainly
there is no advantage in rushing
and neither is there any advan-
tage in stalling along. we will meet
with the Taxpayers Monday and will
set the rate Wednesday,"
Further objections from Foul1s,
who sought more time were over

City clerk and police budgets
also were discussed but no definite
presentation was made. Council
men appeared to think Cavin's eSti-
mate of $1,000 for an assessor and
extra help was too high. The clerk
was instructed to break down his
budget and itemize costs.
Regarding the police budget, the
council discussed doing away with
the BLACK Maria" and using only
prowl cars, but Fawcett remarked
that the former might be badly
needed in case of riots. Moore cau-
toned against cutting the police
budget to a point where inSuffi-
cient leeway was left for emergen-
cies. After the budget was once set,
there is no means of recourse, he
pointed out.

Boy Named
After Historical
Surroundings

If Allyn Grinnell Stevens
isn't q mountain climber when
he grows up, it won't be the
fault of his heritage. ,
Born on August IS, 1910, at
the Many Glacier campground
in mountainous Glacier Nation
al park, young Allyn bears the
name of a mountain, a glacier,
and a canyon in the park.
The parents, MI. and Mrs.
Cullen A. Stevens, of Tampa,
Florida, had arrived at the
campground the previous day.
Charmed by the sight of dis
tant Grinnell glacier, they hiked
the 15-mile round-trip from the
campground to the glaciers
edge, accompanied by their
two sons, aged 3 and 7, and
Mrs. Stevens mother, Mrs. M.
A. Booth.
The next day, at the camp
ground, a third son was born.
Mrs. Booth, the only attendant
at birth, was able to report both
the mother and son as doing
exceptionally we'll"
Naming the newcomer called
for a conference with park ran
gers. Recalling the previous
days hike to Grinnell glacier,
Mrs. Booth insisted upon Grin
nell as a middle name. It was
Park Ranger Walter NitZel who
suggested that the youngsters
first name be that of Allyn
peak, which towers above the
campground. So the child be-
came Allyn Grinnell Stevens.
Allyn is a time-honored name
in the Many Glacier region, for
it was in the long-vanished
mining town of Allyn, near
what is now Sherburne lake,
that white men first entered
the region. To this day, a grave
is tended alongside the Many
Glacier road near Appekunny
creek, where old-timers say a
pioneer Allyn woman who died
in childbirth is buried.
Grinnell glacier was named
for the famous naturalist,
George Bird Grinnell, who eX-
plored and named many of
Glaciers peaks.
The last name - Stevens -
was not a matter of choice, but
even that was appropriate to
the surroundings, for it was
John F. Stevens, in the employ
of the Great Northern railway,
who located the route for the
Great Northern railway line
across Marias pass, at what is
now the southern boundary of
the park, and made Glacier
accessible to millions of rail and
auto tourists. To this day, the
canyon through which the
Great Northern and U. S. high
way No. 2 skirt the park is
known in his honor as Stevens
canyon.
