Panel Discussions
The convention program departed
from its usual form by employing the
technique of panel discussions on
questions and problems of special i'm
portance to all of the membership
The general result of this was that
very little of minor Importance was
injected, and the panel discussions
were found extremely interesting and
educational by all.
In previous years, Emil Syftestad,
general manager of the Farmers I'm
ion Central Exchange, the mammoth
wholesale cooperative owned by the
affiliated co-operatives in the four
northwest states, has made report
to the convention of the years pro-

MAIDS or jewellers in tents. 1t envis-
ages an abode more permanent and
secure surrounded by subsistence
both varied and bountiful. A vine
clad cottage a cabin in the woods, a
farmstead or even a shack on the
prairie is the toilers concept Of a
home Just so the head of the house
hold is owner, lord and master. Home

phrase. Bachelor quarters on the
sixth floor or a stuffy flat with kitch-
enette at the top of an elevator shaft
is home only by poetic license.
1t was land hunger that drove In
dams to the reservations, hewed the
forests, broke the prairies and peopled
the valleys and plains of America.
Those were days when the founda-
tions of the nation were laid. Those
were the days when men owned their
own homes. Those were the days
when family sized farms were multi
plying by leaps and bounds. The
landlord and peasant system is partly
responsible for conditions in Europe
today 1t is a system where one man
lives in lazy luxury while hundred

schemes ever devised to keep the

Montana Loses 226
From tuberculosis

tuberculosis is still the number
one killer among the youth of Mon
tana, according to Mrs. Henrietta
Crockett, executive secretary of the
Montana tuberculosis association.
AT the annual meeting of the as
ISOLATION held April IS in Helena,
Mrs. Crockett reported that of the
226 Montanans who died from tu-
berculosis in 1910, Al of these were
young people under the age of IS
years.
During that period the association
conducted tuberculosis case finding
programs among the high schools
in 40 counties. A total of 1888
tubercuin tests were given, and
2,37l or nearly Is per cent showed
positive reaction to the test, in
dicating the presence of tuberculo-
sis germs in their bodies.
The association financed a total
of 3,167 X-rays, including the posi-
tive reactors, some re-checks, and
many contact cases, socalled because
these individuals have lived in con-
tact with open cases of tuberculosis.
| Mrs. Crockett stated that Is coun-
! ties now have. an annual case-find-
ing program, and that only two out
of the Sc counties in Montana have
not yet participated in the pro-
gram. These counties are Mineral
and McCone, and it is planned dur
/ ing l94l to arrange the test for
| these counties, thus making Mon
/ tana 100 per cent tuberculin tested
The major part of the funds raised
from the annual Christmas seal
sale campaign are expended for
] tuberculosis control and prevention
according to Mrs. Crockett. More
than 100000 of the 100000
raised in the campaign, was spent
on tuberculin testing and X-raying
and for supplies during 1870 Five
per cent was allotted to the nation
al association for tuberculosis re-
search.
! In addition to the continued ex-
pansion of the tuberculosis case
! finding program, Mrs Crockett an
nounced that the association is
planning an extensive health edu-
cation campaign for 1871 among
Montanas $4,000 Indians, whose
death rate from tuberculosis is l.
times greater than that of the
whites. The association does not
receive state aid, but is financed
