New transportation
Lows Now In Effect

Monday June 23rd, was the day
set aside for trustees of each dis
trict to make up the budget for the
coming year. This year with the
new transportation law, budget
making is a little more complicated.
ANY school board wishing to pay
transportation must first pass
resolution to that effect Trans
portation for high school students
must be paid by the high schools.
Parents should see a board of trus-
tees of a district having high
school to arrange for transportation
for their children at the very ear
, liest date. Contracts will be made
out between the high school or ele-
mentary school and the parents
These must be made out before
August lst. Unless contracts are
made, individuals will not receive
any transportation. Contracts will
state the specific amount that each
parent will receive.
State transportation will be re-
endorsement to the district and not
to the parents. Transportation will
be paid for any child not younger
than six nor older than Fl years
whose residence is in the State Of
Montana, three or more miles dis
tant, over the shortest practical
road from the nearest open public
elementary or public secondary
school (disregarding district and
county boundary lines) of the State
of Montana; or whose residence is
one and one-half or more miles
over the shortest practical road,
from the nearest point of an estab-
lished public school bus route, pro-
vided that such child must reside
with his parents or legally appoint
ed guardian, and his parents or
guardian must maintain perma-
nent home within the boundaries OF
the district paying transportation
Provided further that his family OF
part of his family may move into
another district for school purposes
and he may live with his family or
part of his family in another dis
trict for the duration of the school
term for which he is collecting
transportation, or he may board ano
room away from home for the dura.

The schedule for paying individ

And now comes summer, with its
blooms and birds, bees and base
ball.
In other countries they fight for a
flag with guns and bullets.
In America we fight for flag
too, but it is championship pen
nant flag. Instead of cannon balls
we use baseball. Instead of steal
ing country, we steal second base
And how much better it is tc
pitch baseball than a hand gre
made.
And how much better catcher's
mask is. than gas mask
Instead of killing hundred men,
we only kill one-the umpire.
In place of the roar of guns, we
have the roar of the crowds as Hal
Trosky knocks homer.
War really is hell, but the only
hell we know is when the team we
are betting on loses the game by
one error.
Our battlefields are left, center
and right fields.
Up to now our dictator is Gear
Lands.
We have goose-eggs instead OF
goose-steps.
First, second and third are our
most important bases.
And SO on and SO forth, all OF
which should impress US with the
fact that we should be grateful that
we are living in the u. S. Ak
change.

WHY DO WE ACT THAT WAY?

Our conduct requires much ex-
planation. We loaf on the Job when
we should be hustling We are cow
ardly when the occasion calls for
courage. We hear someone make
unkind remarks about our friends,
and instead of rising to their de-
fense, we sit calmly and listen to
the gossip.
We spend money we cannot af-
ford on things that we do not need.
We over-eat with full knowledge
that we are doing it. And we do
+ things that the doctor has forbidden
us to do.
1t isn't that we don't know better
for in most cases we know when we
act foolishly instead OF wisely; the
wrong course and the right course
are plainly distinguishable. The
still small voice within us tells that
we are making mistakes.
We are not bad at heart, for il
we were we would not be worried
as to consequences. More likely il
is because we are lacking in in
itiative and moral force. We follow
tile GOQISE VI lCdSt IGU13tAIICe tOS
often. As Chesterton puts it, I'VE
look unto the hills, but most of us
are too lazy to drag our carcasses
after them"
And then. perhaps we act toe
hastily. without giving ourselves
sufficient time to reason things out
Maybe we are hurrying along sc
much that we leave many things un-
done. and do things that we shoulc
ordinarily avoid. If we slow dowr
a bit and give our subconscious
mind a chance to assert itself, we
wouldn't be called upon to explain
and apologize SO often for what We
say and do.
So many, folks have expressed
appreciation of this column that
shall try to continue it. But my
inner self tells me that it will be
wise for me to ease up bit, for {

but warned that any such group
must be externally vigiliant.' Mr..

depend on themselves and not take
too seriously the statements of Fed

cisions. He made specific reference
to one statement by lady who
lives on Pennsylvania avenue"
Mr.. Quinn further warned the
group to beware of entertainments

people of Washington, he said, must
fight to see that their rights are
maintained and their opinions re-
spected.

THE BETSY ROSS LEGEND

Like many another legend, the story
that Betsy Ross of Philadelphia made the
original Stars and Stripes flag from pencil
sketch by George Washington in 1776 is
now generally rejected by historians
Neither the designer nor the maker of
the original flag of IS stripes and Is stars
is known, although its adoption by the Con-
tinental Congress on June IA, 1777, is re-
corded historical fact.
The Betsy Ross story was unknown to
the public until nearly 100 years later.
when William J. Candy read a paper be-
fore the Pennsylvania Historical Society
on March IA, 1870. He said Betsy Ross was
his grandmother ard that she told him in
1886, when she was "a years old and he
was a child of II, that she had made the
flag.
No attention was paid to the Candy
pepper by the historical society, which did
not even keep copy of it. The legend
spread, however and finally gained pop
ular acceptance. although DR.. A. c. Fink,
when director of archives of the state of
New York quoted statement containing
the following:
THE Department of State, the War
and Navy Departments, the Historical Sites
Commission of Philadelphia and other Of
fetal bodies repudiate the legend. The
book and pamphlet material available is
overwhelmingly against the legend
Still. Philadelphia guides will show
you the Betsy Ross house on Arch street, and
assure YOU that it is the birthplace of the

TOO MANY PISTOLS

The murder ofone man and the crltl-
cal injury of two otheTs~this week when an
offended fruit picker turned loose hail
OF bullets in Homestead bar brings up
again the old question Of why it is so easy
to get and carry pistols in Florida.
Particularly in the rural sections of
the state, pistol sore place about mans
person is as much part Of his equipment
as his shoes. Just why, no one seems to
know
Most states long ago realized that an
armed population was no longer an asset to
a community, what with the absence of red
skins and red coats, SO stringent laws were
passed and enforced to prevent the average
Joe Citizen from carrying his roscoe about
in his pocket But not Florida.
The theory that possession of a gun is
necessary to prevent holdups, except in UNI
usual cases such as banks, is entirely false.
For instance, in the epidemic of Miami
Jewel hoIdups each of the victims has
found himself suddenly staring down the
barrel Of gun. If any of the citizens had
etrs in their pockets they wisely left them
there and were thankful to escape with the
loss Of nothing more than their property.
Practically every robbery is like that
The victim finds himself confronted with
run and to reach for his own, even if he
has one, is merely form Of suicide.
Julius Stone, acting county attorney,
tol5 members Ofthe county commission
o2oFal weeks ago that issuing guns pro-
miScu0usly is mot in accord with the trend
OF the times" when local grocer asked
permission to arm his drivers with PISTOLS
Reflecting not at all on the integrity Of
the drivers, Stone is perfectly right Too
many pistols are in hands other than those
of law enforcement officers now, without
adding any more.
