AGED SWIMMER CAN
RELAX BEST IN WATER

IOWA FANS, Ia, Aug. 8. up
August Willies idea of relaxation is
to float on his back in a nice cool
lake while smoking a cigar, reading
a book and shading his eyes with a
paraSol.
The 79-year-ol Iowa Falls swim
mer can also play a flute while
swimming, and he easily manipu-
lates himself in a pool with his
hands tied behind him. A swim
ming version Of the waltz and the
tWo-step is a breeze for him.
Willie learned to swim when he
was eight and later was instructed
by Capt, Matthew Webb, first man
to swim the English Channel.

year and spend 82'2 billions. We
have a per capita debt right now Of
$l856. Multiply that by the number
Of members Of your household and
you'll see how much your family
owes. I wish VIC could pay that of
two cents on the dollar. The per
capita debt tor each worker in a
family is $4117.
I can recall the year when con-
gress passed the first budget bill
tOtalling one billion dollars, and it
made quite a stir in the country. A
billion is one thousand times one
million c$l0000000OO equals 1000
times S1,0C0,000). Today we kick a
billion around as if it were an old
suit; in fact, l think we have more
concern about the old suit, because
we know it will be hard to replace
with another Of the same quality.
I rise to remark that it will be hard
to replace these dollars we throw
away with others Of the same buy
ing quality.

cumulated on my typewriter table.
Congress finally recessed on Sat
urday, July 81. The house had
been melting away for ten days be-
fore that. Various delegations of
congressman left for all parts Of the
world. 1t is a good idea, when the
members take the trips seriously. I
think they do l said in this COL
umn (many years ago, do you re-
member?p that we'd better take the
price of a battleship and send
Americans to travel in other coun-
tries and see the problems of those
countries, and have other nations
send people here for travel and edu-
cation. I had two chances to go

Roosevelt; Andrew Mellon served
the same number under Harding
Coolidge and Hoover, but Albert
Gallatin of Pennsylvania served the

1t was quite a ceremony. The
speaker presided; Senator'S Barclay
George White and La Toilette spoke
and Representatives Gearhart cot
! California; and Cooper. The new
secretary sold a bond to the retir-
ing secretary. Did you know the
secretary of the treasury can't buy
a U. S. bond while he holds that
office?
During the morning, the rumor
went around that Secretary Ickes
was about to demand a "clarifica-
ton Of his position from the Pres
ident. The comment was iokingly
that he should be careful, remem-
bering what happened TO Morgen-
| thau when he asked for the same
thing. The new secretary, Mr.. Vim
son, takes over the job at one OF
the most difficult moments, for a
secretary of the treasury, in the
history of this country. 1t is a COB
to test strong man. Fred Vinson
has come up step by step, serving

must be a close working relationship

SHOT FIRE TIPPED ARROWS
TO KEEP sun BURNING

NEW ORLEANS. Aug. 8. CUP-
The Indians had way to keep the
sun on fire.
Legend has il that the Chickasaw
Indians, who lived along the shores
Of Lake Pontchartrain, believed the
sun was going out" whenever it
Was in eclipse. In their ritual to
keep it burning, they shot fire
tipped arrows-hoping to rekindlc
its expiring light.
They were terrified by the strange
phenomenon Of an eclipse, and
tried by this magic ritual to stave
off the dread consequences of a
fireleSS sun.

THE WHY'S OF A
MEDICAL HEALTH
INSURANCE PLAN

For the interest of our readers the
following item on health and medi-
cal insurance is printed. A short
article on this subject will be printed
each week until the subject has been
covered. This is the third Of such
articles.
Question-With health standards as
high as they are in this country, why is
a medical care insurance program need
ed?
Answer-H is true that we have made
much progress in raising health stand
ards; expectancy Of life has been in
creased; public health services have been
improved; we have excellent hospitals
and many well-trained physicians. But
many among US do not share these ad-
advantages. Our health accomplish
ments are neither the greater nor the
least in the world. But, whatever they
are. they can be much better. And the
high standards achieved in some parts
of the country can be extended to mill
lions of people whose health conditions
are little better than those of the coun-
try as a whole a generation or two ago.
While the health standards in this coun-
try have shown steady improvement and
there has been gratifying reduction in
the prevalence and damage Of prevent
able disease, the fact remains that many
men, women and children could be far
more healthy and physically efficient
than they are today. We can prevent or
improve much sub-normal health; many
deaths need not occur prematurely. Av-
erage achievements in health in this
country are not as significant an index
of need for improvement as are the
wide variations among different sections.
For example, in 1912, 40 babies out Of
every 1000 born alive in the United
States died during the first year Of life.
In Connecticut only % out Of every 1000
died, while in New Mexico, 90 out Of
every 1000 born alive died during the
first year Of life.
one health area in New York city had
deaths from tuberculosis in the 3-year
period. 1939-4l, while 1903 deaths per
100000 population we're reported in an
other area where Negroes predominated.

with the business conditions existing in
Butte at the present time he painted a
picture of what might be done for this
town under a liberal, constructive and
intelligent administration. For instance
he said, what we need is something
big, something that will provide work for
many" He condemned the city hall,
proposed a new Civic Center, he advo-
Gated in his talk that the Civic Center
should be placed in a spot somewhat
outside Of the center of the town. In
other matters Mr.. Freebourn posed the
question. why not have a project Gov
ering an entire new lighting system? It
is something much needed" He then
went on to say: There is the question
Of getting new industries in here. Not
so long ago a tannery, a leather factory
and a shoe factory contemplated build
ing. No encouragement was given it.
These factories would have employed
close to 10 thousand workers" Mr. Free
bourn showed his faith in Butte by
saying: Il believe with cooperation Of
the people of Butte and its service clubs
that a mayor can bring new industries
to Butte"
Altogether it was a splendid declara-
ton Of faith and encouragement.

OF PENICILLIN
TO START MARCH IS

HEIENA-Oscar A. Baarson, district
manager of the Wa Production Board
at Helena, today announced that pro-
ducers and distributors may sell pencil
lin through normal trade channels as Of
March IS. The drug will be released in
Walls containing 100000 units Of sodium
penieillin and will be made available to
hospitals and physicians.
Distributors have been authorized to
sell 100000 walls from March Is to
March 81. An additional quantity Of
approximately 1900, 600 walls will be
made available for distribution in April
and similar quantities viii be released
each month. 9 civilian penicillin dis
tribution unit was established by WPB
in Chicago last May. Originally LOCO
hospitals received penicillin but the list
expanded to include 200 hospitals.
AS a result of this action these hospitals
may. as Of March IS, receive their needs
from the various distributors Of the
drug. 1t will no longer be necessary for
them to place orders through the Chi
cago unit. However if a hospital is I'M
able to get penicillin from a distributor,
it may order from the Chicago unit.
The 200 hospitals have been using ap-
proximately 4OO,O 600 walls a month, said
MT. Baarson.

UNION ONLY HOPE
OF WHITE
COLLAR WORKERS

WASHINGTON (FP) Organization
Of the American white collar worker is
the only real hope that can be held out
for him to keep step with his brother in
overalls. the Senate committee on bank
ing and currency was told March z.
The statement came from Chairman
william H. Davis Of the National war
Labor Board who stepped into a new
role as director of economic stabiliza-
ton March 8.
Davis said; 1.-THE white collar workers,
many Of them, fall into the %substandard
wage classification. It is very important
that this situation be corrected. one
of our difficulties is that they tend not
to be organized. 1t is almost a class
consciousness among them"
Indicating that the WLB has tried to
do all it could, Davis remarked that
whenever we give a factory worker q
raise, we authorize the employer to raise
the pay Of his office staff proportion
The catch is, however, that usually
there is no union around to speak up for
the clerks, stenographers, b%ookkeepers
and junior executives.

Fewer Paper Bags
Are Available

HELENA, March l0.-Fewer paper
grocery and variety bags, shipping sacks,
wrapping papers, envelopes and certain
converting papers will be available to the
public in the second quarter Of this
year. WPB officials announced today.
Shortages of domestic wood pulp fol
the second quarter, beginning April i,
require a curtailment in ALLEGATIONS to
manufacturers Of civilian kraft. Kraft
pulp is row z critical material, most Of
it going into fibre shipping containers,
which have to be strong and tough to
withstand overseas shipment and con-
tinued rough handling with little storage
protection. While it is believed that bag
and wrapping paper producers will have
to take a cut in their pulp ALLEGATIONS
for the second quarter, it is hoped that
ALLEGATIONS to manufacturers of certain
industrial papers and sanitary food IN
tainer stock need not be reduced further,
in view Of the high essentially Of these
products.

FINE PROGRESS

Good progress is being made in the
reduction of outstanding Indebtedness. A
continuance of your financial budgeting
together with your conservative expendi-
lures will bring your city out Of debt in

tered warrants at the present time. The
affairs of the city are well conducted -

state examiner, and is a commentary on
the administration of the affairs of the
